But if you’re a big foodie and a fan of wholesome and nutritious food, then this job arguably couldn’t be any easier.
MuscleFood is currently in need of a Professional Recipe Tester.
The company is looking to hear from people who are “always after new foods, new recipes and new flavours”, someone who “completely understands how food helps reach your goals”, and ideally, the person that everyone goes to “for the best food recommendations”.

So, what does the job actually involve then?
Well, as Muscle Food’s Professional Recipe Tester, you’ll receive exciting new recipe kits straight to your door every month, and all you have to do is make them, eat them, and then let the company know what you think of them.

“It plays a huge part in deciding which ends up going out to customers,” Muscle Food says.
The role also means that the lucky applicant could be responsible for discovering a future best-selling recipe, as Muscle Food says that some of the recipes it has in the works are brand-new and will blow its other meals “out of the water” – and the Professional Recipe Tester will be the first to try them out.
The Professional Recipe Tester will also receive monthly MuscleFood vouchers between the value of £50 – £100 to spend across the site on whatever they fancy as payment for helping us find the best new recipes.

As part of the job description listed on the MuscleFood website, the company is looking for:
A foodie with a passion for nutritional feel-good food.
An honest individual who can accurately review the upcoming products.
Someone with a keen eye for detail, who is easily able to monitor key areas for improvement.
Someone with an understanding of the importance of nutrition.
All applicants must be over the age of 18, and a UK citizen or permanent resident of the UK.
Entries for the role of the Professional Recipe Tester will close on Thursday 21 April at 11:59pm GMT, so if you fancy it, then make sure don’t put off sticking an application in, as roles like this don’t come up very often.
Jimmy Bradbury, Reuben Haycocks, Aoife Anson O’Connell, and Paddy Murphy – better known together as Westside Cowboy – formed back in 2023 when they were students at the Royal Northern College of Music, so while they may not all be from Manchester, they definitely have the spirit of our city at the heart of everything they do.
After playing in different bands across the city throughout their student years, the four-piece joined forces to create Westside Cowboy – an indie rock collective credited with self-coining the genre of ‘Britainicana’.
Put simply, Britainicana is a cultural concept that mixes the hazy, mythic feel of American country and folk, with the sound of raw British punk, indie rock, and small-town life.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, then you’ll be pleased to know that Westside Cowboy have released their debut album, It Goes On, to the world today (21 August).
And the reception from critics, arguably, couldn’t be better.
Prior to the release of their debut album, the band had released two EPs, including So Much Country ‘Till We Get There in January earlier this year, and had started to make a name for themselves with their popular debut single ‘I’ve Never Met Anyone I Thought I Could Really Love (Until I Met You)’ in 2024.
They went onto make even further waves when they supported equally-rising American rock band Geese on their UK and Irish tour back in March – with many fans calling it one of the best support and main act combinations in some time.
Three singles from their debut album were shared with the world ahead of its release – ‘Kick Stones (The Boys)’ came first, followed by ‘Pin Up Boys’ and ‘Dobro’.
So, it’s fair to say the anticipation for album was high… and if the reviews are anything to go by (which we think they are), it looks like the band has very much delivered what they set out to achieve.
Westside Cowboy’s debut album It Goes On is now available to stream, or you can purchase a physical copy in a range of formats from their website here.

BBC Introducing LIVE is back with events across the North for grassroots music artists
Emily Sergeant
BBC Introducing’s flagship live event will return with a huge lineup of activities for aspiring musicians and music creators this autumn.
To celebrate and champion undiscovered talent across the country, BBC Introducing LIVE will include an array of live performances, immersive workshops, educational panels, and networking opportunities for grassroots artists, DJs, and music creators, all at the start of their careers.
Introducing LIVE will head across the UK, including hosting four special gigs in Leeds and a songwriting camp in Manchester.
The BBC Introducing Songwriting Camp is an invite-only event offering an ‘unparalleled’ experience for artists and creatives to develop skills and collaborate with industry professionals in a real music studio.
Then, on Saturday 28 November, BBC Introducing will host four showcases across Leeds, celebrating some of the best new music from across the UK – with independent music venues The Wardrobe, Belgrave Music Hall, and Oporto all taking part.
While up in Sunderland, following the success of BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend there earlier this year, a special takeover event will take place at The Fire Station – with a day of panels, workshops, open mics, and an industry feedback centre planned, all designed to support and inspire the next generation of musicians and music industry professionals.
Other northern cities hosting events during this year’s programme are Gateshead, and major music city Liverpool.
Many successful artists, including the North’s very-own Sam Fender, as well as big names like Ed Sheeran, Raye, Olivia Dean, and Loyle Carner, all began their careers with support from BBC Introducing.
“Championing and nurturing artists and creatives is at heart of everything BBC Introducing does, and so I’m excited that Introducing LIVE will be returning in November for our biggest year yet,” commented Kelly Betts, who is the Editor of BBC Introducing.
“BBC Introducing will be at events, panels, and gigs across the UK giving emerging talent the opportunity to learn from industry experts, make music and connect with fellow artists.
“Music has the power to unite, inspire, and shape our culture and BBC Introducing’s flagship event will help some of the UK’s rising stars on their journey to achieve this.”
