Requirements: * Previous cooking/meal-prep experience * Comfortable following dietary instructions * Good hygiene and food-safety practices * Reliable, organised and efficient * Good reviews/references preferred * Police Check preferred Please include your experience, hourly/session rate, approximate time required to prepare this amount of food and availability.

Weekly Sunday Family Meal Prep Cook

$220

Magill, SA

13th Sep 2026

We’re a family of four (2 adults and 2 young children) looking for a reliable, organised home cook/meal-prep person to come to our home each Sunday. We will purchase and provide all groceries, ingredients, cookware and storage containers. The aim is to prepare healthy food for the working week, covering family dinners as well as adult lunches. We prioritise high-protein meals, plenty of vegetables, healthy eating/weight management, and family-friendly mild-to-medium flavours. We enjoy Asian, Mediterranean/Italian and Western food. We don't eat beef; chicken, fish, prawns and other seafood are welcome. A typical week might include Greek lemon-garlic chicken with rice and roasted vegetables, chicken san choy bow, Mediterranean chicken meatballs with tomato/vegetable sauce, Thai green prawn curry, and preparation for a fresh salmon tray bake. We’d like to develop a rotating menu over time rather than eat exactly the same meals every week. The weekly role includes batch cooking approximately 4–5 family meals, preparing portions for dinners and lunches, packing and clearly labelling containers, organising food appropriately between fridge/freezer, cleaning the kitchen after cooking, and occasionally cleaning/organising the fridge when required. We’re looking for someone experienced with batch cooking, clean and organised in the kitchen, confident handling chicken and seafood safely, and reliable for an ongoing Sunday arrangement. We'd also welcome someone who can suggest healthy recipes and gradually take ownership of the weekly meal-prep routine. When responding, please tell us about your cooking/meal-prep experience, usual rate, Sunday availability and examples of healthy family meals you enjoy preparing. Budget: $220 per weekly session, groceries supplied. Sunday mornings, ideally a 9:30 am start, approximately 4–5 hours initially.
