$100

Berkeley NSW 2506, Australia

5th Oct 2026

Home Cook Wanted for Weekly Dinners We're a busy couple looking for a good home cook to make us enough dinners to get through the week (5 dinners for 2 adults). It doesn't need to be 5 different meals. Batch cooking 2 or 3 dishes that we have a couple of times during the week is perfect. This is a one off trial initially, but if we love the food, we'd love to make it a regular weekly thing. We like tasty, wholesome home style meals with good protein and vegetables that reheat well. Some examples: Burrito bowls Curries Pasta dishes Rice bowls Stir fries Roasts Traybakes (one tray oven meals) Chicken, beef or fish with veg We're open to all cuisines and happy for you to suggest what you're good at. Ingredients: We will buy and supply all the ingredients, so you just need to cook. Once we agree on the meals, please send a shopping list so we can have everything ready. Location: Berkeley NSW. Happy for someone servicing the wider Illawarra area. Cooked offsite and dropped off chilled. Please include your cooking fee, whether you can supply containers, your availability next week and the kinds of meals you like to cook.
