Monthly In-Home Meal Prep / Batch Cooking

$320

Vaucluse NSW 2030, Australia

1st Sep 2026

PLEASE NOTE: I previously posted this task on Airtasker and received a number of offers, but unfortunately lost access to my account before I was able to assign the job. I’m still looking to have this done and am reposting the task. If you made an offer on my previous listing and are still interested, please feel free to make an offer again — I’d be very happy to hear from you. This is intended to be ongoing work approximately once per month for the right person. Looking for someone reliable and experienced with meal prep/batch cooking to come to my home in Vaucluse once per month and prepare approximately 48 meals. All ingredients, recipes, quantities, cooking equipment and kitchen facilities will be provided. There is no shopping or meal planning required — the role is simply to prepare and portion the meals according to the provided instructions. Each monthly session involves: 24 × chicken meals, each containing: * 250 g grilled chicken breast * 1 whole sweet potato (cubed and baked in oven) * ¼ white onion * ⅙ red capsicum * Handful of spinach * 10 g walnuts 24 × dinner meals, each containing: * 450 g protein — 6 salmon, 6 barramundi, 6 kangaroo and 6 turkey breast * ½ cup cooked French lentils * ½ cup cooked tri-colour quinoa * 1½ cups mixed peas, corn and carrots * 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil after cooking Everything will need to be cooked, portioned into individual meals and the kitchen cleaned afterwards. The cooking itself takes approximately 5–6 hours once familiar with the process, but I would allow around 7 hours for the first session, particularly while learning the workflow. I’m looking for someone who is reliable and interested in ongoing work approximately once per month Ideally looking for someone who can start this week. If the first session goes well, I’d like to have the same person return each month and make the process very consistent.
