About us

Meals and Memories is an Athol Park food business specialising in Persian and Halal cuisine, bringing the rich flavours, traditions and hospitality of Persian cooking to the Adelaide community.

Food sits at the heart of Persian culture. It is about generosity, family, celebration and connection, with recipes and cooking traditions often passed from one generation to the next. Meals and Memories celebrates this heritage through traditional Persian food prepared with care and made with the flavours people know and love.

For many older Australians, food is closely connected to culture and memories. The dishes we grow up eating can take us back to family kitchens, special occasions and meals shared with the people we love. As people age and cooking becomes more difficult, finding culturally familiar food can become increasingly important.

Meals and Memories provides an opportunity for Persian customers and others looking for Halal meals to continue enjoying food connected to their culture and traditions, without needing to prepare every meal themselves.

Through Cookaborough, Meals and Memories is now making its ready made meals available to eligible Support at Home recipients in Adelaide. This provides a convenient way for older Australians to access quality Persian and Halal food as part of their approved meal supports.

The service is particularly valuable for customers who want more than a conventional ready made meal. Having access to familiar Persian flavours and Halal food can provide comfort, choice and a meaningful connection to culture, while also making everyday life a little easier.

Ready made meals remove some of the practical challenges associated with cooking from scratch. There is less shopping, preparation and cooking to manage, while customers can still choose meals according to their tastes and preferences. Meals can be kept ready for when they are needed, making them a practical option for individuals, families and carers.

For families supporting an older loved one, access to culturally appropriate meals can also provide peace of mind. It means there is an easy way to help ensure their loved one has satisfying food available at home, even when family members cannot prepare meals themselves.

Cookaborough manages the ordering and administration associated with Support at Home meal services, giving eligible recipients a straightforward way to access Meals and Memories through their approved supports.

For Meals and Memories, supporting the Support at Home community is an opportunity to share the food and traditions they know so well with more people across Adelaide. It is about keeping Persian food traditions alive, respecting the importance of Halal food and helping older Australians enjoy meals filled with flavour, familiarity and memories.
