On the lookout for a chef to prepare weekly meals (1 lunch and 1 dinner option) for myself located in Aurora, Illinois. The meals would be based on selection of recipes in advance that meet my dietary and taste preferences. This position offers a rate of $30 per hour. You will be responsible for sourcing the ingredients (hourly rate covers this shopping time and grocery costs will also be covered) and preparation of meals at your kitchen or in-home at my family’s townhome in Aurora. Need to ensure precise measurement/tracking of ingredients used to calculate macros for each meal (this is important to me). Recipes requested will likely lean towards protein-forward, cholesterol/heart healthy, and bold flavors. Examples include recipes from cookbooks like Big Vegan Flavor by Nisha Vora. Also partial to Asian cuisines including Indian/Thai/Chinese. If this sounds like a great fit, please reach out and I would love to learn more about you. Thanks.

I work full time and have a 11 year old son half the time. Looking for someone to come on a weekly basis to stock the fridge with meals and snacks. We don’t need designated calendar of full meals, just a bunch of options we can consume throughout the week. We are light breakfast eaters and only need lunch options on the weekends. My son is with me every other weekend. Ideally we’d be able to freeze some of the food as we go for the sake of long term variety and to not waste.
