Brisbane QLD, Australia

21st Aug 2025

Hi all, Thank you for reading this! I’m looking for someone to cook for me on a weekly basis to help with meal prep. You’ll cook in your own kitchen. I’ll provide recipes and organise delivery of all ingredients to you. Once the meals are ready, I’ll come and pick them up. Professional cooking experience is great but not necessary – I’d be very happy to work with a solid amateur cook who enjoys making good food. This will take about 3 hours per week, and my budget is $90–$100 per week. If you’re interested (or have any questions), please reply here, I’d love to hear from you. Thank you so much!
