Private Chef

09/06/2026

🍽️ Between planning meals, shopping and cooking after work, food preparation can take a lot of valuable free time...

I currently have only 4 client spots remaining for my new In-Home Meal Preparation Service.

In around 4–5 hours, I prepare 5 different dishes, typically producing 20+ portions — enough meals for most of the week ahead, plus extra lunches ready to take to work.

Less meal planning.
Less nightly cooking.
Less food waste.

Just fresh, healthy and balanced meals ready when you need them.

Menus change weekly and can be tailored to suit your household, including:

✔ Gluten-free
✔ Dairy/lactose-free
✔ Low-carb
✔ High-protein
✔ Family-friendly meals
✔ Texture-modified meals (IDDSI)

Perfect for busy families, FIFO households and couples wanting a little more breathing room in their week.

📍 Gladstone • Boyne Island • Tannum Sands • Calliope

Feel free to send me a message if you'd like more information or would like to discuss what could work for your household.
