Italian Meatballs in our special "simple" Italian Red sauce which I learned to make in Italy (where the meatballs are called Polpette!). I love these on their own with some crunchy bread to dip in the sauce, as the contents for meatball subs, or as my family loves them - on top of pasta and when we have it the kids always sing the classic... "On top of spaghetti, all covered in cheese, I lost my poor meat ball when somebody sneezed!" Crazy kids! :-) :-)

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!

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!

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

I love this salad! I am equally happy having it fully vegetarian, or with a protein to bulk it up into a fuller meal. Loaded with crunchy veggies, spice with a little chilli, and packed with herbs - then sprinkled with crunchy peanuts! I love that it is a combination of sweet, crunchy, sour from the lime and brightness from the herbs. Traditional Vietnamese flavours make this a salad that we have very regularly because not only does it suit all of our diet needs - but it also just tastes dang good! :-)

This is my absolute hands down favourite meal. If I as asked what I wanted to eat as my final meal - it would be this. I fell in love with it in Positano in Italy along the Amalfi coast. Tomatoes there taste different. I think it is the volcanic soil. The closest tasting tomatoes I have found are the cherry tomatoes we get here in QLD, lightly baked and then drizzled with a dash of sherry vinegar. This is a delicate salad. It doesn't travel well. Only available for Pickup. Perhaps it will change your life like enjoying this on the Amalfi coast changed mine as I learned to understand the power of simple ingredients shining!

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!

Celebrate the Flavours of Spring with our fresh and tasty Spring Vegetable Frittata. Features Fresh Asparagus, Broccolini and Zucchini with the zing of fresh mint and saltiness of the feta. Great for dinner, lunch or even breakfast!

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!

Loaded with Veggies like cabbage, cauliflower, carrot, zucchini and capsicum this is a powerhouse of a stirfry! With a little fire from the homemade Gochujang style Korean Sauce, topped with Egg scramble, sesame seeds and shallots. Sure to be a favourite in your house like it is in ours!

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

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.

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! :-)

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.

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.

This is an Italian classic hinter dish, simmered low and slow so the chicken thighs are tender and fall apart with a rich aroma from the tomato and garlic sauce. Tends to have kalamata olives traditionally, but I love it with big juicy green Scillian's! Served on Creamy mash to make this a filling and comforting meal.

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.

No idea why this is actually called Mongolian Lamb - I think it is one of those Aussie-Chinese inventions brought to us by the wonderful introduction of Chinese cooking to our nation by so many Chinese takeaways all over the country. Marinated with a touch of chilli and five spice powder it has a light kick to it, but certainly one I never remember having an issue with as it was most definitely my favourite dish to order from our local Harmony Inn when I was a kid.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

Indian Lamb Curry with slow cooked fall apart Lamb and a warm spice mix. Based on Rick Steins recipe in the book Rick Stein's India. Served with Basmati Rice.

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.

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.

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

Steamed Jasmine Rice

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

Seasonal Green Veggies steamed with a dash of butter, salt and pepper. Simple. Fresh. Delish!

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.

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.

Our Friands are lightly dusted with icing sugar and lemon zest to make these a refreshing treat!
