I am completing a gym challenge presently and I need some help meal prepping for myself Additionally I would like some help and assistance to meal prep with what I have on hand for my family (dinners, snacks mainly) for my four kids…. I’ve been struggling with time and mentally with a lot going on so an extra set of hands in the kitchen would be amazing My goal is also to go through my fridge, freezer and deep freezing utilizing what I have on hand before going shopping or getting other ingredients Initially two visits may help! But also once I’m set up hoping it will be easier for me to keep going! I am on a bit of a budget things have been really tight this year so hoping to find someone that can work with me…..

Plant Based Meal Prep Weekly Chef or Cook wanted
$350
Viewbank VIC, Australia
10th Nov 2025
Hello! I’m looking for a chef, cook, or experienced home cook to help with regular meal preparation for one busy full-time professional. I follow a plant-based, low-fat diet and my goal is weight loss — lots of fresh foods, salads, vegetables, and flavourful, punchy meals. I’m very time poor, so I don’t have the bandwidth to plan, shop, or prep meals consistently. I’d love someone who can take care of the planning and prep side of things each week. A few details: • Meals don’t have to be fully ready-to-eat — light prep on my end is fine (e.g. assembling salads or blanching greens). • Ideally, meals can be delivered, but I’m also happy to pick them up if needed — I’m based in Viewbank. • I’m open to trying it for a week first, and if it works well, continuing weekly. • I’m flexible with taste and cuisine, and happy to discuss preferences, likes/dislikes, or nutritional targets. • Open to negotiating costs depending on the level of service and ingredients provided. If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please reach out — I’d love to discuss how we can make it work!

Home Cook / Meal Prep help (2 days a week)
$100
St Kilda, Victoria
8th Nov 2025
I’m looking for someone to help with cooking, meal prep, and general kitchen tasks a couple of times a week. Nothing fancy — just healthy, balanced meals like slow-cooked dishes, grilled meats and veggies, salads, and a bit of variety. The idea is simple — I’d love to reduce my time in the kitchen from around 10–12 hours a week to just a couple. I’m hoping to simplify things a bit, keep life easy, and get some time back while still eating well. I’m open to ideas and flexibility — we can chat through preferences, meal types, and timings once we connect. This would suit someone who genuinely enjoys cooking, is reliable, and brings a bit of creativity and care to home-style meals. Happy to do a paid trial week to start.
