Meals should be fresh, healthy and full of flavour. Examples include: •Asian dishes - Roast meats and vegetables • Slow-cooked casseroles • Pasta dishes (limited) • Chicken and beef meals • Salads and grain bowls • Soups • Healthy family favourites • Freezer-friendly meals We’re looking for someone who: • Is an excellent home cook or has previous cooking experience • Takes pride in producing high-quality meals • Is organised, reliable and trustworthy • Has great attention to cleanliness and food hygiene • Can work independently Pay: We’re offering a competitive hourly rate based on experience, typically in the range of $30–$45 per hour for home cooks in Adelaide.

Seaford SA, Australia

21st Apr 2026

Hi there, I’m looking for someone to come to our home on a weekly basis to help with meal prep. I prefer simple, clean meals, nothing overly complicated. The goal is to have a mix of lunches, dinners, and a few snacks prepared to make the week easier. I’m flexible with how this works: * I’m happy to organise the ingredients (e.g. organic fruit/veg/meat box), or * You’re welcome to plan and shop yourself and include that in your quote Our kitchen is fully set up with: * 5 burner gas cooktop * 900mm electric oven * Large double door fridge/freezer We’re based in a relaxed coastal home (with a pretty great ocean view from the kitchen 🌊), so ideally looking for someone who enjoys cooking in a calm environment and can keep things simple and efficient. Open to this becoming a regular weekly arrangement if it’s a good fit. Please let me know your experience, availability, and what a typical session might look like for you. Thanks so much!
