Looking for someone to cook for my partner and I as we are both busy during the week. We only really need 3-4 dishes per week (so 8 servings per week). Preferably on a rotating menu (3 different dishes per week), and would love to discuss menu with you beforehand. Groceries will be ordered (or reimbursed if you shop). I like italian food and my partner likes high protein dishes, but anything tasty and somewhat healthy is preferable. Ideally someone who can drop off to our home address (once or twice a week).

Bulk meal prep – 56 high-protein meals

$150

Clovelly NSW 2031, Australia

20th Oct 2026

Bulk meal prep – 56 high-protein meals Looking for someone experienced with meal prep to do a bulk cook at my apartment in Clovelly. 7 simple recipes × 8 portions each = 56 meals. Meals will be healthy, high-protein and straightforward — e.g. spaghetti bolognese, chicken curry & rice, beef chilli, chicken pasta etc., with meat, carbs and vegetables in each meal. I’ll provide all ingredients, containers and cooking equipment, along with straightforward recipes, quantities and target portion weights. Meals will be portioned using kitchen scales so servings stay reasonably consistent. Looking for someone to cook, portion, label and clean up afterwards. Would also be great if you enjoy baking, as I may include a batch of simple sweet treats/snacks. Budget: $150 for approximately 4–5 hours. Happy to consider offers based on experience — quality, efficiency and meal-prep experience are more important to me than simply choosing the lowest offer. If it works well, I’d be interested in making this a regular monthly job.
