Stress-free Christmas & New Year entertaining.

Our Apple Crumble is made the traditional way - with real food ingredients.

The topping is made crumbly by mixing flour with real butter (not margarine) and then just a touch of almond meal and desiccated coconut is added. It's baked until the crumble topping goes brown, (and reheating it in the oven with make that topping go a little chewy.)

The apples underneath the crumble really are apples - not a mushy apple sauce. They have been gently cooked until they still have texture and a little bite, and still hold their shape (which you can see in the photo). They are not over sweetened so that they're a great complement to the topping.

Our Crumble is all real food. It's made with everything you'd use at home - there are no numbers, thickeners, emulsifiers or artificial flavours. Only 100% real food ingredients, just like your gran and great-gran would have used.

It comes in a generous 450g size, which easily gives 2-4 servings.

 

Our new Osso Bucco - Tender veal cooked in rich, deep vegetable sauce with creamy mash makes a delicious, comforting home-style meal – Limited Edition

Like our Lamb Shanks and Vegetable sauce. this Veal Osso Bucco is hard to resist. In this single serve dish for one, a prime Aussie veal shank is gently cooked until it is fall-apart tender and braised slowly with beef stock and red wine in our chef's own special vegetable sauce. The end result is full of flavour.

The rich and robust sauce is slow cooked with vegetables and seasoned with fresh rosemary, bay leaves, thyme and mixed herbs. The veal shank is served with creamy mash. Plenty enough for a great meal for one, but you can always add your own carrots, beans, or other vegetables to add a little bit extra if you wish.

This is a Limited Edition Meal as we're only just now introducing it into our range, meaning there are just a few available at this stage.  You can find out more on our 'Single Serves' page.

Our new Dinner's Ready Brioche Bread & Butter Pudding - in 2 flavours for a limited time. ​

You may have tried B&B Puds in the past that are heavy and stodgy. Not this one. Because our chef has used brioche it is unbelievably light. Which makes it very moreish. And incredibly easy to eat.

It's just like eating a real home-made one. And there's nothing quite as nurturing as home food - it's like a big warm hug just when you need one the most.

For a limited time our BB&B Puddings are available in two flavours. The traditional one - Brioche Bread & Pudding with Vanilla - we've all grown to know and love, has the authentic flavour of vanilla you only get by using real vanilla seeds from a pod. And our other version - Brioche Bread & Butter Pudding with Cinnamon - is for those who like the extra warmth that cinnamon adds to a dish.

Like all our meals, they are both made with only real food: flour, eggs, butter, sugar, milk, cream and raisins. (We couldn't believe that most of the desserts we found in supermarkets are made not with butter, but with margarine!)

Also there are no numbers, thickeners, emulsifiers or artificial flavours. Only 100% real food ingredients, just like your gran and great-gran would have used.

The pudding comes in a generous 340g size, which serves 2 people.

Heating it in an oven will give a slightly crispy, caramelly topping with the soft pudding underneath.

Add some double cream or ice cream on the side to achieve pudding heaven.

Perfect for a bit of warmth at the end of a long, cold day. Or whenever you feel like a bit of comfort.... Keep them in the freezer so they're at hand whenever you need.

This dish gives you all the warming spices of India with the freshness and lightness of vegetables.

This vegetarian dish has truly authentic flavour as it's been made with individual spices, giving real depth to the curry. ​The spices reveal themselves layer by layer, and the heat (medium) slowly creeps up on you until until it warms the back of your throat.

The spices are full and rounded and mature (avoiding all the sharpness and rawness you get in some manufactured curry dishes).

Cauliflower, sweet potato, tomato, green beans, onion, chickpeas and red lentils are gently cooked in Indian spices until all the flavours blend into one cohesive, flavour-filled, warming dish.

Available in two sizes: The single serve is accompanied by buttery Pea Pilau Rice, and is gluten-free and vegetarian. The meal-to-share size serves 2-3 people (just add your own basmati rice and pappadam) is gluten-free, vegetarian and dairy-free.

It's the perfect dish to add to our Tandoori Chicken and Lamb Biryani to make a cosy comforting Indian night in.

Our Sticky Toffee Pudding​ is the ultimate dessert: soft, moist, chewy pudding soaked in warm, flowing butterscotch - with enough sauce to spill over onto the plate and mix with your ice cream.

And it's made with only real food: flour, eggs, butter, brown sugar, dates, and cream. (We couldn't believe that most of the desserts we found in supermarkets are made not with butter, but with margarine!)

Also there are no numbers, thickeners, emulsifiers or artificial flavours. Only 100% real food ingredients, just like your gran and great-gran would have used. ​

The pudding comes in a generous 350g size, which easily gives 2-4 servings. The serving shown in the photo above is 1/4 of the pudding with a side of ice cream.
