Hello, My husband and I are looking for someone to meal prep for us while we are going through a busy period at work for a few months.

Cooking lesson (Turkish, Persian, Egyptian or other)

$90

Sydney Olympic Park NSW, Australia

1st Dec 2024

I'm interested in having someone teach me how to cook a dish from their own culture. Currently interested in Middle Eastern, North African, or West African. Ideally on a weekend, or weekday evening (Mon/Wed/Fri). Not sure what's easiest but let me know what works for you in terms of location. Happy to come to you, or here in Sydney Olympic Park. For example: Persian (e.g. Khoresht-e Fesenjan) Turkish Algerian Egyptian Syrian Senegalese (e.g. Chere or Thieboudienne) Maqluba, Mansaaf, etc.

Nina was the perfect Tasker! I absolutely loved my Egyptian cooking lesson with her. She was organised, kind, friendly, everything was planned so well. I would highly recommend booking Nina!

I would like someone to come to my house, meal prep my food for the week for me (using my groceries in the kitchen, helping clean and put away all dishes when done). The meals are simple and don’t need much cooking skill or experience professionally. Each meal will need to be weighed and put in a container.
