Part-Time Cook Wanted - Padstow Heights (or Your Own Kitchen)

A Sydney family is looking for a part-time cook to prepare meals for their young daughter a few times a week.

She's grown up eating beautifully -- her mum and grandmother cook Mediterranean, Italian, and Lebanese food from scratch. Roasts, bakes, pasta sauces, real food made with care. For health reasons she's now on a ketogenic diet, and a dietitian has modified her favourite recipes accordingly. The measurements are exact, the instructions are clear, and everything is provided for you.

Your job is to cook that food well -- carefully, cleanly, and to the gram.

What the role involves

Two sessions per week, roughly four hours each. Fresh meals and freezer batches, following recipes with exact gram-specific quantities. Digital scales are provided. You can work from the family home in Padstow Heights or your own well-equipped kitchen. $40-$50 per hour based on experience, paid weekly. Immediate start available.

Who this suits

You don't need formal qualifications. You do need to be a genuinely good cook who works to a high standard without being prompted -- naturally clean, naturally careful, naturally precise. Someone who follows a recipe properly, maintains a spotless workspace, and handles and stores food correctly as a matter of habit.

Because of her health condition, hygiene protocol is stricter than a typical kitchen. For someone already conscientious, it won't feel like a big leap -- just a clear system to follow consistently.

Experience with keto cooking or batch meal prep is a bonus. A good palate and genuine enjoyment of food matters more than credentials.
