Outsourcing Life - Indian/Asian Vegetarian Cook Needed (Altadore, SW, Calgary)

I've recently read the "Four Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferris. Tim is a big promoter of Outsourcing your life.

This evening, I posted two ads, in my first attempt to outsource my life ... and hire independent contractors. The below ad was posted on Craigslist. It's a fun attempt at trying to get some help with supper. (I'm amused ... and will look forward to ANY response!)

I also posted a project on elance.com ... looking for someone to help internet market vacant rental properties.


Hello.
We are a local family who love Indian and Asian vegetarian food. We are looking for a cook experienced in
this wonderful cuisine to prepare delicious, fresh, healthy, authentic Indian/Asian vegetarian meals for us.
If you've cooked a curry once or twice or need to follow recipes, this position is probably not for you but if you know Indian vegetarian cooking in depth and can prepare delicious, healthy, fresh, authentic Indian vegetarian food then we'd like to hear from you. This could be an ideal opportunity if you are Indian, Pakistani, Punjabi, Bangladeshi etc. and are looking for a great way to apply your experience and love of Indian vegetarian food, cooking and culture to.
Please reply with details of your experience and some dishes you could prepare. If we like what you have to offer, we'll arrange for you to cook a sample meal or two which we will pay you for and then we'll see what works out for us all.
This is a part-time position. You will be self-employed and responsible for your own taxes, etc. We'll pay you an hourly rate we will agree with you plus grocery bills for the food you prepare. You can prepare food in your own place and we can arrange to collect from you, possibly for us to freeze for later eating. We will work with you to come up with menus and schedules that work out for you and us.
Thank you for your interest.
Compensation: To be agreed
Telecommuting is ok.
This is a part-time job.
