From a Thursday order to a full fridge

Order by Thursday
Choose a box and a mix before 20:00 on Thursday. That week's menu is already on this page.
Shopping on Friday
Produce, meat and fish are bought for the number of boxes ordered, so very little goes to waste.
Cooking on Saturday
Each dish is cooked, cooled quickly, portioned and sealed with its label and use by date.
Handover on Sunday
Collect between 10:00 and 13:00, or the van brings your box between 14:00 and 19:00.
A kitchen that cooks for the fridge, not the pass
Food that will be eaten three days later is handled differently from food served at once. Rice is cooled within the hour, sauces are spread into shallow trays to chill, and every tray goes into the blast chiller before a single portion is filled.
The kitchen is registered with the local food authority and inspected under its hygiene rules, which differ from one country to the next. The latest inspection result is pinned by the collection door for anyone who asks.
- Chilled quickly and kept at fridge temperature
- Ingredients, allergens and a use by date on each lid
- Delivered in insulated bags with ice packs
Saturday in the kitchen, Sunday at the door
Roasting, sealing, labelling and the drive across town.
Opened, reheated and reviewed (example reviews)
Sunday evening used to mean two hours of batch cooking. Now the box arrives at four, the fridge is full by five, and the curry beats the one made at home.
The allergen column is the reason this household orders. Sesame is flagged every single time, and a question about the tahini got a clear answer the same morning.
Twelve lunches a week for the studio, one bag, a name on every lid. The Monday sandwich queue has disappeared.
Before you order your first box
How long do the meals keep?
Each lid shows a use by date, normally four days after cooking. Put the meals in the fridge as soon as they arrive, and reheat each one until it is piping hot all the way through.
Can the meals go in the freezer?
Most can, on the day they arrive. The lid says when a dish does not freeze well, such as salads or anything with a crisp topping. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
How are allergies handled?
Every dish lists the allergens it contains as an ingredient, and the lid repeats them. Nuts, sesame, gluten, milk and egg are all used in the same kitchen, so traces are possible. Labelling rules vary by country, so call before ordering if an allergy is severe.
Where do you deliver, and what does it cost?
Sunday deliveries reach homes and offices within 20 km of the kitchen. The fee for your zone, from $4 nearby to $11 at the edge, is added at checkout. Collection from the kitchen costs nothing extra.
Is every order a weekly commitment?
No. Each box is a single order for one week, so order again whenever you want the next one. Plenty of customers order every Thursday, and others only in busy weeks.
What happens to the bags and trays?
Hand the insulated bag and ice packs back to the driver at your next delivery, or bring them to the side door. The trays are card with a peel off film, and whether they can be recycled depends on the rules where you live.
Lunches for a team, trays for a gathering
For ten or more meals a week to one address, or trays for a family occasion, describe what you need. An answer comes back within one working day, with a suggested menu and a price per head.
- A name and dietary note on each lid for teams
- Office drops on Sunday evening or Monday by 09:00
- Payment arranged directly with the kitchen
