Find an experienced cook in NSW

We’re looking for a reliable family cook / meal prepper to help with meals in our Sydney home on an ongoing basis. We’re a family of four and like simple, tasty, family-friendly food rather than gourmet meals. Think Simple Home Edit style — everyday ingredients, familiar flavours and food the whole family will actually eat. Meals we enjoy include mild curries, fried rice, salmon, spaghetti bolognaise, Italian dishes, schnitzel, roast dinners, lemon chicken, pasta bakes and Mexican/burritos. One child is a selective eater, so we need someone comfortable keeping meals mild and familiar and discreetly adding vegetables into sauces, mince, pasta and curries where possible. We’d also love homemade snacks each week such as muffins, banana bread, slices, savoury muffins, oat/muesli bars, fruit, vegetables, cheese and biscuits. The role would include: * Preparing family dinners * Batch cooking for later in the week * Preparing homemade snacks * Helping plan a simple weekly menu * Creating a grocery list * Portioning/storing meals * Leaving the kitchen clean and tidy We’re initially thinking 2 days per week, around 4 hours per visit, with the possibility of increasing to 3 days. We’re looking for someone who is a confident home cook, organised, reliable, comfortable cooking for children/selective eaters and interested in an ongoing arrangement. Budget: $40–$50 per hour depending on experience. We’d like to start with a paid trial session. Please tell us about your cooking experience, the types of meals you prepare and any experience cooking for families or children.

We are a family of four (2 adults and 2 children) looking for a great home cook / chef to come to our home once a week for an ongoing arrangement.

The chef would: - Plan a sensible weekly menu with us - Cook in our home - Prepare a mixture of complete family meals and meal-prepped components - Cook enough for a family of four, including leftovers where practical - Portion/store the food appropriately - Leave the kitchen clean and tidy - Help us develop a routine that works well week after week We're open to Indian, Italian, Asian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Australian and other cuisines. We're looking for genuinely good family cooking rather than "diet meal prep". Dietary requirements: no beef and no peanuts. We're open to either: - We purchase the groceries based on your shopping list, or - You do the grocery shopping and we reimburse the cost. We're flexible on the exact approach and would like you to tell us what you think can realistically be achieved in four hours.

Whether you can do grocery shopping 6. Your availability for a regular weekly booking 7. Your hourly rate / expected price We're looking for someone who could become a regular part of our family's weekly routine, rather than simply the cheapest option.
