Our Vegetable Tagine with Couscous:  Tagines originate from the North African-Mediterranean countries - and are perhaps most well-known as Moroccan.  Tagines (called after the conical dishes they are cooked in) are slow-cooked stews, typically made with sliced meat, poultry or fish together with vegetables or fruit.  

This version uses vegetables, together with apricots, dates, preserved lemons, black olives, and spices: coriander, cumin paprika, ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper and cinnamon.  The spices give tremendous depth of flavour, with a background warmth (without being "spicy")

The couscous is also given extra flavour by being cooked in vegetable stock, with carrot and parsley.

Our famous Cottage Pie is the perfect comfort food.  Premium Aussie lamb and beef and a deep, rich gravy, are all topped off with a gorgeous creamy mash crust.  And, of course, it's all hand made.

Available as a single serve, or a meal-to-share for 2-3

Tested Gluten Free

Our chef’s tried and true recipe base is of pure Aussie lamb and beef, gently cooked in our home-made stock to give a deep, rich gravy. The pie is topped off with a gorgeous mashed potato crust (no ‘milk solids’ or ‘thickeners’ here, it’s made the old-fashioned way will real milk and butter.)

Originating from family farm kitchens in the UK and Ireland, Cottage Pie has been adopted as an Aussie favourite for generations. Our chefs have used their own recipe to continue on with this tradition, giving you a meal that truly tastes as if it was made in a country kitchen. Home-made food without you having to spend hours making it yourself.

Perfect for a really satisfying dinner when you feel like a little nurturing - or as a rainy day lunch. A meal in itself on it’s own - or try serving with some green peas, or lightly steamed beans and carrots.

 We often love to add some grated cheddar and/or parmesan on top of the mash and then flash under the grill till bubbling golden brown.

10 Reasons to buy our meals

1. They’re delicious – They taste just like the very best home-made food. They’re nourishing and nurturing - just like a hug in a bowl

2. Real food – They’re made with the very best produce - no UPF’s or chemically-laden “food-like substances”

3. Authentic flavours - Because they’re made by speciality chefs our Italian, Singaporean/Malaysian and Indian meals are true to their culture. (Plus our desserts are made by a specialist Baker.)

4. Made by hand – not factories. As Michael Pollan said “What predicted a healthy diet more than anything else is the fact that it was being cooked by a human being and not a corporation”

5. High in Protein – Some of our meals contain up to 66% meat, others we’ve seen are as low as 16%

6. Freezing is Mother Nature’s preservative – As our meals are frozen, we don’t need to flood the food with preservatives and chemicals

7. Snap-Freezing – Seals in all the nutrition and flavour so they’re as perfect when you reheat them as when they were first made

8. No time pressure to eat – They’re frozen so there’s no rush to eat them as they’ll keep perfectly in your freezer for 3-12 months. “Fresh” meals start degrading and spoiling as soon as they’re on the supermarket shelves 

9. No wastage – Because you eat everything! No more wasted money on meat and veggies spoiling in the fridge, or excess bottles and packets cluttering your pantry

10. Small & Local – We’re a small, Canberra-local family business who really care about what we do. We love food and like to give you food you can love too
