Sushi Cake or Round Sushi Bake (Small, for 2 people)
$35
Melbourne VIC, Australia
5th Apr 2025
Hello! I'm looking for someone who could kindly prepare either a sushi cake or a round-shaped sushi bake for my friend's birthday. It’s only for two people, so something simple and small would be perfect. We have no dietary restrictions or special packaging requirements, but a nice garnish or presentation would be greatly appreciated. I live in the CBD area and can either pick it up myself if nearby or pay extra for delivery. Ideally, I would need this on the 18th of April. Thanks so much! (Photos from the internet for reference)

Weekly meal prep for busy couple
$350
Brighton VIC 3186, Australia
2nd Apr 2025
We’re a busy working couple who love healthy, tasty food. Looking for someone to cook our weekday meals (5 lunches & dinners for 2 people = 20 serves): either cooking in-home or meal delivery. Dietary requirements must be accommodated: coeliac (gluten-free), milk allergy (no animal milks/products), low fructans (no onion, garlic, cauliflower, asparagus, etc.) and low fructose (no honey, HFCS, apples, pears, mango, peaches, melons, etc.). We are seeking healthy, flavoursome meals with variety through the week (5x different meals). We like a variety of cuisines, and are happy to discuss meal plans, including individual caloric needs, portion sizes, and grocery arrangements (we can either purchase or have them supplied—budget is based on the latter). We’re also open to a fortnightly arrangement with larger prep and some meals frozen to save time and cost. Here’s some example dishes we like: • Basil Chicken Stir-Fry with Capsicum, Carrot & Jasmine Rice • Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry with Tamari and Black Rice • Lemon Herb Roast Chicken Thighs with Pumpkin & Broccolini • Pork Carnitas Bowl with Quinoa, Capsicum & Guacamole • Dill & Lemon Baked Salmon with Sweet Potato Mash & Beans • Grilled Tuna Steaks with Tomato, Basil & Black Rice • Mexican-Spiced Beef & Roast Vegetable Bake • Lemon Chicken & Veg Tray Bake with Capsicum & Baby Potatoes • Lemongrass Chicken with Rice Noodles & Fresh Herbs • Slow-Cooked Tomato & Beef Ragu • Peanut Satay Chicken Stir-Fry with Rice • Steak Fajitas with Mini Tortillas & sides • Lemon & Herb Crusted Salmon with Roast Sweet Potato & Broccoli • Seared Steak with Sweet Potato Fries & Salad • Chicken Pad See Ew with Rice Noodles • Asian Beef Bowl with Rice & Pickled Veg • Ginger Prawn Stir-Fry with Capsicum, Broccoli & Rice • Mexican Beef Bowl with Black Rice, Sweet Potato & Guacamole • Herbed Pork Cutlets with Roast Pumpkin & Carrot • Lemon & Garlic Oil-Infused Roast Chicken with Sweet Potato & Salad • Chicken Pesto & Vegetable Pasta

Support Worker and Meal Preparation
$120
Essendon VIC 3040, Australia
20th Feb 2025
I am looking for a person to assist me with organising my space, as well as any tasks I find difficult, such as completing complex paperwork, following up on emails, organizing appointments come on communicating on my behalf, planning travel, making purchases comma and problem solving (for example, comparing credit card providers or finding an accountant that is appropriate). If possible, the person would also do grocery shopping and a full meal preparation for the week, ideally twice per week if possible. If desired, we can break these tasks up in that one person could do the cooking, and the other person could do the complex organisational tasks. Note, you must have good English and be able to problem solve effectively. The rate is negotiable and will be based on the person's competence and efficiency with the tasks.


Richard went above and beyond to help me, even helping out with tasks I had forgotten about. He also had a very positive attitude and friendly demeanor. I would highly recommend him for cleaning, home assistance, and support work - he is awesome!

Meal preparation and planning (Dairy & Peanut Free, Low FODMAP)

Officer VIC 3809, Australia
10th Jan 2025
I am looking for someone to assist me in meal planning and preparation that caters to my dietary requirements. I am allergic to all dairy products and peanuts (tree nuts are ok) and try to be low FODMAP as possible for gut health. If I could sign up to something like Lite n Easy, I would but I can't. I need to get back to a healthier weight and lifestyle and someone to take the above in consideration, plan the meals and ideally prep them so it is really clear to me what I eat and when, this would be life saving. I know I have put down Officer but I am also available in Caulfield as well. Price is negotiable


Tabatha was a cut above the rest who responded to my Airtasker request. She was great at communicating what was included in the offer and kept me in the loop at every stage and was able to cater to my specific dietary requirements. I have yet to try the meals but they look delicious!

I'm looking for a talented baker to create a stunning Cocomelon-themed tower cake for my son's 2nd birthday! The cake should be big enough to feed around 14 people. I’m aiming for a fun, colorful design inspired by the popular kids’ show, Cocomelon. The cake should be tiered (tower-style). Cocomelon-themed decorations such as the Cocomelon logo, characters (like JJ and his friends), and colorful accents (rainbows, balloons, etc.). Flavors: Please suggest options that would appeal to both children and adults (e.g., vanilla, chocolate, or something kid-friendly). The cake should be sturdy enough to transport and set up at the venue. Delivery to Williams Landing on 26th Jan before 1PM (or willing to discuss pickup details). Please share photos of similar cakes you've done, along with an offer. Looking forward to working with a creative baker to make this birthday extra special! Example cake images shared.
