My name is Amanda, and my husband, toddler and I live in west Hackney. We care about eating well (delicious, healthy and fresh) and sustainably (organic, reducing waste, no meat) but are finding it hard to sustain this with a baby. So we’re looking at ways to do this better. I think what we’d like is someone to come over once a week (preferably Monday mornings) and do a large batch session so that we have tasty and healthy and homemade food during the start of the week. Looking for about 3 dinners with leftovers for lunch, plus other smaller bits and bobs (dressings, snacks, etc.) If that sounds interesting, please let me know.

We are a family of three, two adults and one toddler. We would love to have a private chef come over for a few hours a week (we expect 3 hours would be enough, but let us know) to batch cook home cooked meals. We would buy the ingredients and provide equipment (pans etc). We would expect the chef to prepare food, pack them into boxes for us to have over lunch and dinner for the three of us, and leave the kitchen tidy (we have a dishwasher so minimal need to do dishes by hand). We expect that in 3 hours the chef could prepare enough for 2 weeks’ worth of meals. Our toddler’s meals could be the same as our meals with adaptations (e.g. no chili spice, chopped up in small pieces, goes well with rice). We have no dietary requirements, except for me (mum), no alcohol and not too spicy.

We are so excited to announce that our family is expanding as we prepare to welcome our second baby in January! In anticipation of this new addition, we require a talented meal prep chef to provide us with healthy and delicious lunches and dinners during the week. We are looking for someone who can create meals using high-quality ingredients, such as organic meats and vegetables. Reheatable dinners that can be warmed on the stove or in the oven are a priority for us, as we prefer to avoid using the microwave.

The perfect candidate will be able to start immediately and will be responsible for preparing meals on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the middle of the day.

I am currently looking for a talented Indian home cook to join our family as we have specific dietary requirements. My wife and our 11-month-old son follow a vegetarian diet, so we require meals that suit both North and South Indian cuisine. Ideally, we would like the cook to start early in the morning to prepare fresh and delicious meals for the day. Although my husband is a non-vegetarian, we would prefer if the cook can also prepare non-vegetarian dishes. However, if the cook is a vegetarian, we are open to discussing and accommodating their dietary preferences. We are excited to welcome a skilled individual into our home to take care of our meal preparation needs. This part-time position is available for less than 20 hours per week, starting immediately. The schedule required is Monday through Thursday mornings. We are looking for someone who is experienced in cooking Indian cuisine and is comfortable preparing meals for a family. While we do not offer live-in accommodations, we prefer a live-out arrangement for our cook. If you have a passion for creating delicious and nutritious Indian dishes and have experience cooking for families, we would be thrilled to have you join our household. Please reach out to us if you are interested in this opportunity.

We are a family of 4. My husband and I have 2 small children aged 2 and 4. We both work full-time and the evenings can be very stressful for us. Although I love thinking and cooking meals, it’s time in the evenings I just don’t have and would rather be spending time with my children. Although some night making an actual meal for us would be lovely (it’s just my husband and I eating in the evenings), having stuff prepped and ready in the fridge and freezer would be useful like a roasted chicken, a salad and a type of rice/potato. Then something like a bolognese preped in the freezer Fruit cut up and washed would also be useful and easy things for my kids to snack on like bagel pizzas etc. they eat at the childminders mid week but are sometimes hungry We are looking for someone kind, helpful and passionate about cooking
