What does a weekly menu look like?
Our recipes are designed for the everyday cook, using seasonal, everyday ingredients. We keep our recipes fuss-free using our favourite cooking techniques and flavour combinations.
Our recipes are well balanced, nutritious meals using whole foods ingredients.

Why four recipes?
We have factored in that you might not be at home seven nights a week or that you may not want to cook every night - this also gives you the chance to cook some favourite recipes you already know and love.

Why shop for yourself?
Control over how much or little you buy based on your dietary requirements. Choose the source of where you produce comes from - free-range, organic, house brand etc. Shop the brands you love and where you want. Ability to avoid foods which you may be intolerant to. If there is an ingredient on the shopping list which you cannot get or you dislike, contact us and we will give you a variation.
