Bacon is cooked first and used to give a deep flavour to the base, then the fresh corn AND corn cobs go into the broth to give a bang of corn flavour. Potato is then added to thicken the soup and it is just a warm bowl of summery yellow corn that warms you up inside!

The king of soups! A filling meal on its own, but also warms the soul - even more than chicken soup! Serve with a side salad and crusty bread to fill it out as a full meal but in my opinion, it is perfect on its own!

This is made creamy thanks to the potato which breaks down to thicken the soup in an almost chowder fashion. We add a dash of Miso to give it a little punch of Umami (savouriness) and make it with Oat milk, so it is dairy free too. Choose your topping - our smokey maple syrup glazed Mushroom "bacon" to keep it vegan, or Maple Glazed bacon. Both are a lovely addition, add your preference in the options below. :-)

Cream of Vegetable style soup, made thick without the usual flour and butter calorie dense options. It is as healthy as it looks but as decadent as it smells!

I have been making this salad in a variety of ways for years. My sisters call this "Catherine's Salad" and it is included in almost every family feast in some variation. Sometimes I swap out the sweet potato for pumpkin, sometimes I have both but at the moment I just love the warm roasted sweet potato! Sometimes I just use baby spinach, or just rocket - again sometimes both. Sometimes I add our marinated chargrilled capsicums for a pop of colour and sweetness. Sometimes I use pine nuts, but I happen to have some lovely honey roasted macadamias that I want to use, and this feels like the perfect dish for it! Serve warm - or at room temperature. There is always a zingy balsamic vinegar dressing, and there is always feta! But if you happen to prefer dairy free - just add a message in the notes when you order, and I can skip the feta!

I love this “salad”. It’s loaded with veggies, and served with pasta in a sauce that has been thickened with the pasta water so it should stay lovely and fresh for a few days making it great for ordering ahead for lunches or adding to meals over a few days as a side. I lie this one served at room temperature.

The creamy dressing marination over a few hours takes the rawness out of the broccoli making it almost crispy but still fresh which always surprises me. The cranberries in this are my favourite part - the little busts of sweetness, then offset by the bacon and Spanish onion. I think this may actually be my favourite salad!! Well, maybe. A Burrata Caprese salad is pretty hard to beat, but I can't seem to find burrata anywhere anymore. So, this seems to be creeping up into first place! Noice!

We use our own chargrilled capsicums and the vinaigrette as the basis for the flavour bomb here and add roast Broccoli, and Zucchini, fresh red onion for bite and chopped continental parsley on top for freshness. This is a salad not to be laughed at! I will happily eat this one as a meal or as a side to roast meats, or even with some left-over chicken or lamb mixed through to make it a hearty meal. It also freezes well which is unusual for a salad, but I never seem to have enough left over for that.

Enjoy as a main or as a side dish to a roast. Can be eaten hot, warm or at room temperature.

Tasty juicy Cajun spiced chicken breasts served with Mexican Rice. Perfect for lunch or dinner on the go. Eat at least two hours before training or immediately post training for the best results.

Tasty juicy Cajun spiced chicken breasts served with fragrant Coriander Cauliflower rice! Perfect for lunch or dinner on the go. Eat at least one hour before training or immediately post training for the best results.

Comes in serves of 3 or 6 each. Protein packed so great for muscle gain focused diets.

This one is another Open Sauce Kitchen Community Favourite! Juicy rissoles made with 100% Aussie beef sourced from trusted Australian farmers who prioritize quality and sustainability and loads of hidden veggies providing quality taste and tenderness. The rissoles are served in gravy, on a bed of creamy mash with a side of peas. Simple food, always a family favourite. Yum!

Simmered until tender, loaded with veggies and an all-round comforting and healthy meal.

This is a British classic known as bangers and mash. :-) Thick pork sausages, and onion gravy. Served with mash, peas.

Our succulent Roast Chickens are brined for 24 hours to ensure they stay juicy - even if you decide to keep it frozen and reheat it later. It is then given a layer of extra flavour with the basting of herbed butter that crisps up the skin while also keeping the meat juicy! Perfect to reheat for a meal or have col in sandwiches or a salad, or added to pasta, soups or noodles. Served with one 1/4 per person so let us know your preference if you have one in the comments.

Such a classic Indian dish, creamy, authentic 12 hour marinated chicken, grilled then simmered in the tomato sauce. Served with Basmati rice to complete the meal.

Did you know that this is an Aussie Classic! Its a great freezer friendly meal, which can be eaten hot or cold. It is versatile and can be served for breakfast, morning tea or even a light lunch or dinner. I keep slices of this in the freezer and pop them in the microwave for a quick and healthy start to the day.

As the weather starts to chill, this soup is always the first one I make. Slow roasted pumpkin, onion and garlic, served with a dash of sour cream and crusty bread! So warming and comforting!

I have been saving the ham bones from Christmas, waiting ever so patiently for the weather to start to chill so I could make this one that brings back memories of Autumn growing up - and of my poor mum cleaning pea and ham soup off the ceiling after her pressure cooker "released" it all out the top!!! It took me up until last year to finally get a pressure cooker after watching my mum do that so many times. I now understand why she persisted and am very relieved with how the technology has improved and happy to report that I have not had to clean any soups off any ceilings since using it! :-)

Comforting and immunity boosting! Slow cooked chicken stock then loaded with veggies and tender chicken. This one is good for the soul and your health!

This is one of our top comfort foods and now we can bake more easily in the larger commercial oven each week, I am very excited to be able to offer more like this classic! The Open Sauce Kitchen Chicken and Leek pie features lovely free-range chicken thighs, poached in our homemade chicken broth, then combined with buttery leek, thyme, creamy gravy and a dash of seeded mustard to give it some zing. These 6-inch pies are filling on their own, but you can make more of a meal of it when you have it with the classic sides of mash and peas.

Sweet but lean Pork tenderloin, wrapped in prosciutto, then roasted. The prosciutto keeps it juicy an adds a salty touch to the meat. Served with mashed sweet potato as a tasty combo (which is also lower carb than usual mash!) and side of steamed greens.

This curry is rich with coconut cream and cashews, gently spiced and mildly sweet. It’s family-friendly and easy to love. Serve it with Basmati Rice and homemade Naans to make a delicious feast.

This succulent Roast Chickens are brined for 24 hours to ensure they stay juicy - even if you decide to freeze and reheat it later. It is then given a layer of extra flavour with the herbed butter that crisps up the skin while also keeping the meat juicy! We add roast veggies, and fresh peas to make this one a winner, winner chicken dinner.

The corned beef is slowly braised in flavorful stock, served with steamed carrots, baby potatoes, and cabbage then topped with classic white sauce and parsley.

Featuring plump Prawns and crisp Asparagus this one is a home-grown special dish! Cooked till just al dente in a fresh stock to give it extra oomph - it's a little bit spesh!

Sweden, and even Ikea is just too far to go to when I want to fill my craving for these juicy pork and beef mince meatballs and creamy sauce! Luckily, I have a homemade version that tastes just like it (but fresher!) Comes with a side of Peas and Mashed potato. If you have some cranberry sauce or Lingonberry jam - I recommend adding a spoonful of that on the side too!

This is a relatively simple curry that gives more of a flavour bomb than you would expect! Healthy and filling because of the chickpeas, spicy from the paprika, cumin and then with the addition of cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick. Definitely needs the yoghurt and a squeeze of lime juice to round it out. Served on a bed of rice to make it a full meal.

This is a firm family favourite in our house. A warm bowl of Teriyaki "mince", on rice, served with steamed Edamame. We make batches of this using the V2 Mince and then freeze in individual serves, so it is always on hand in the freezer, ready for a meal for any hungry vegetarians in the house! We use the Mirin, soy and Sake brought to us by our brother-in-law who lives in Japan. This gives an authentic taste to this non authentic version of Teriyaki! Served on a bed of Sushi Rice this is a warm bowl of yum!

Garlic buttery Swiss mushrooms smothered in a full-flavoured stroganoff sauce with button mushrooms and onions, for an easy weeknight dinner. Served with buttery mash to soak up that gravy!

Looks somewhat like Bolognese but tastes more like the Mince taco filling we all love here in Aus. We always make a meat version when we have this so if you prefer meat full - check that one out too! It's a dish you can use to choose your own adventure with. You could serve this in a bowl on its own; with toppings like sour cream, grated cheese, chilli or jalepenos, coriander guacamole etc; with warm tortillas on the side to dip into it; over rice (plus all the toppings); on hot dogs to amplify them as a Chilli Dog; or as I particularly like it - over a baked potato with cheese melted over the top and then a huge dollop of sour cream. Heck you could almost do them all! :-) Yum! When I make this, I always do a huge batch as it freezes well making it a regular freezer standby. Great for when you need a tasty versatile dinner in a jiffy - so order a few extra serves to keep as a backup!

Vegetarian lasagna is more popular in our house and this one features a beautiful spinach and ricotta layer with a touch of fresh thyme and gratings of nutmeg that add to its flavour and aroma boost. That is layered between our fresh basil tomato sugo, and fresh pasta, then topped with mozzarella and baked until golden brown. Serve with a side salad and some crusty bread for a delicious meal for the whole family with love - even the meat eaters!

Simple, classic, delicious.

A vegan spin on the classic Indian Butter chicken dish. Marinated tofu grilled then simmered in the tomato sauce with lentils to thicken the sauce. Get your tasty fix! Served with Basmati rice to complete the meal.

This is a very popular option on our site - add it as a side to a main meal or BBQ or just have it on its own. Slow-roasted cauliflower florets are drowned in a cheesy Bechamel sauce, and then topped with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. I’d like to think adding more veggies to your diet is always a good thing but I opt for cheesy over healthy on this one.

Oozie, gooey, comfort food at its best! Creamy Gruyere cheese and Monterey Jack cheese add colour, flavour and that cheese stretch! Topped with golden crumbs that give a lovely crunch to the meal. This one is a guilty pleasure! Add a light side salad if you want to make it a healthier dinner, but I would be lying if I said I always have it with the salad!! :-) Another family favourite, which we usually have with gluten gluten-free pasta, flour and breadcrumbs - which is for my daughter, but means we can all eat it the one meal. Just select Yes please from the menu options below to get your meal gluten-free. 500g serve will easily feed two with a side salad or veggies.

Looks somewhat like Bolognese but tastes more like the Mince taco filling we all love here in Aus. Features the Budgee Valley Beef Grass Fed Mince we love. We have a meat and a vegetarian version when we have this so if you prefer meat free - check that one out too! It's a dish you can use to choose your own adventure with. You could serve this in a bowl on its own; with toppings like sour cream, grated cheese, chilli or jalepenos, coriander guacamole etc; with warm tortillas on the side to dip into it; over rice (plus all the toppings); on hot dogs to amplify them as a Chilli Dog; or as I particularly like it - over a baked potato with cheese melted over the top and then a huge dollop of sour cream. Heck you could almost do them all! :-) Yum! When I make this, I always do a huge batch as it freezes well making it a regular freezer standby. Great for when you need a tasty versatile dinner in a jiffy - so order a few extra serves to keep as a backup!

I am relatively new to eating mushrooms, and while I was a non-mushroom eater, I often would experiment with ways to make Beef Wellington that didn't have the mushrooms. Lately I have been eating less and less red meat too, so when I saw this recipe on the Taste.com.au site, I thought I could change it up a little more to this compromise which uses a mix of pork and beef mince, wrapped in bacon with a dash of Dijon mustard, then wrapped in puff pastry and baked until crispy. It's a bit of a winner! I guess they are more like a sausage roll? It looks a little bit fancy and is filled with the goodness we know and love from our juicy rissoles with the added bonus of puffy crispy pastry! Sure to be a firm family favourite! These also freeze well so grab a few for the freezer for those nights you feel like something a little but special but don't have the time to whip it up!

Lasagna. Another labour of love but well worth the time investment, and when we make it, we always make extra as we can’t seem to stop eating it. It also freezes well so I cut up and freeze individual serves as it is a good one to stock up on for the times you need to quickly grab and reheat something for dinner or lunch. For our meat lasagna we use our 24 hour slow cooked Bolognese sauce, and layer it with cheesy Bechamel sauce, and fresh pasta. It is then topped with mozzarella and baked until golden brown. We always make our lasagna a day before we want to eat it as it sets better and in our opinion tastes better too! It will just need a gentle reheat in the oven to be ready but of course you can enjoy it fresh too! Serve with a side salad and some crusty bread for a delicious meal the whole family with love. Small serve is 450 grams.

While traditionally made with Veal, we make it Beef, combining a slow cooked Thor's hammer and the signature osso bucco cut of beef. The meat is fall apart tender, in a rich tomato sauce topped with a sprinkle of lemon and parsley gremolata to give it lift. Add mashed potato and peas to make it a complete meal.

A traditional Honey Mustard Sauce on baked chicken legs - this is finger licking good food! Served with mashed potatoes and a side of seasonal veggies to make it a full meal.

These Quesadillas have a Chicken Fajita style filling, made bulkier (and healthier??) with the addition of refried beans, topped with cheese which you can then roast/fry until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted! Delicious on their own, or add Guacamole, Salsa, Sour cream and even more cheese! Serving is per Quesadilla.

Also known as Tuna Casserole pasta bake, tuna, corn and pasta in a creamy white sauce, topped with crunchy parmesan breadcrumb topping.

This one is a firm favourite and we have had it requested off menu for special occasions through to New Years Eve special meals! This vibrant curry is made all the more authentic with the addition of lemongrass, Thai Basil and makrut lime leaves from our garden which all give it a real zing of freshness. It tends to be mild but we pop in a chili or two from our garden so you can up the spiciness to your preference. Cheaper than takeout, freshly made with local seafood produce from our friends at Pinnacle Seafood.

Golden and crispy baked Salmon patties are a great freezer staple! Made with fresh salmon keeps them light. Serve with mash and veggies or coleslaw for a meal, on buns with tartare sauce and lettuce for burger night, or even a starter with a dipping sauce. 3 patties per serve.

We eat this on it's own, it is a meal in itself - loaded with bacon, veggies and with a savoury sauce, eggs from our chooks, and sprinkled with green onions for bite. A wholesome meal or serve with a stirfry and use this as the base!

Rich Coconut Massamam Curry Sauce, over slow cooked, falling off the bone lamb shanks and potatoes. Topped with coriander and fresh chilli, and served with fresh slices of tomato. Served with a side of jasmine rice to make it a full meal.

Sweet from the maple syrup, roasted mushrooms with a dash of Liquid smoke to give that smokey, savoury flavour.

This is a great topper for a range of meals, from soups, to salads, or even on eggs.

This isn't the same as rice, but it is a much lower calorie option, with a neutral flavour which makes it a great healthy alternative for rice in stir-fries and curries. The addition of Coriander gives it a brightness and makes it a great partner for Thai or indian curries and cajun style flavours.

This isn't the same as rice, but it is a much lower calorie option, with a neutral flavour which makes it a great healthy alternative for rice in stir-fries and curries.

Smashed cucumbers in an Asian Sesame dressing. A great refreshing salad alongside any Aisin dish.

We make the paste in the mortar and pestle, then blend in the avocado. It makes a difference - trust us!

My kids call this Armadillo (hah!), and in our book no Mexican meal is complete without it! The Jalapenos add kick, while the lime juice really brings out the mexican favours.

Al Dente Pasta, drizzled with Olive oil, and sprinkled with Parsley. Makes a great base for many, many sauces.

Creamy fluffy Mashed potato! Great to add as a side dish, or I have been known to eat it sprinkled with cheese as a main!

Steamed Jasmine Rice

Steam Indian Rice, great side to Indian dishes like Rogan Josh, Butter Chicken or Lamb Korma.

This little meal packs a punch. Featuring the Pumpkin that is coming into season now, baked ham, red onion and feta brings the nice balance of sweet, salty and bite! I enjoy these for lunch with a side salad, but they also make a great breakfast on the run, or a light dinner.

A nice vegan blueberry and strawberry pie. Delicious with Ice cream, custard, whipped cream. Or even alone.

I love to have a loaf of this baked with any bananas that didn't get eaten during the week to use as a great after school snack for the kids (or even a sneaky afternoon tea for myself!) The smell when it is cooking just fills the house with warmth, and then we toast slices the next day, pile on the butter and devour.
