This one is Sam's favourite soup so we had to add it! Leeks are such a gentle member of the allium family and let's be honest, what is more comforting that mixing it with potato, cream and chives! Reminds me of baked potatoes at the school fete!

Comfort Food Central! This English classic has a deeply savoury beef mince filling smothered in gravy topped with creamy mashed potato, baked until golden. One of the best cosy foods to make with ground beef!

When I had my first office job, I would go for lunch to a local cafe and I just adored their foccacias. Hands down this one was my fave though, Poached Chicken. on a bed of avocado, topped with cheddar cheese. It would then be popped in the sandwhich pressand and grilled till it was almost flattened, the cheese was melted and gooey and it was too hot to touch! Of course, I would dive right in and burn my mouth each time! And each time I would swear I would wait next time... yet here we are, and I did exactly the same thing when we made the first batch of these in the kitchen! :-)

Perfect for a snack or have multiple for a meal!

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.

This is our answer to the Sausage roll - for vegetarians! It is always hard to find a really good, juicy, and tasty "sausage" roll option if you are not a fan of meat! Add to that the challenge of finding one that is Gluten Free! We have worked and tweaked this recipe until we are happy with it and here it is - finally! Have as a snack on its own, with mash and veggies as a meal, or a salad for a lighter option. We think you are going to love it!

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.

Pumpkin Lasagna features a beautiful pumpkin puree, topped with a ricotta layer with a touch of spinach and gratings of nutmeg that add to its flavour and aroma boost. It's then topped with mozzarella and baked until golden brown. We use Gluten free lasagna sheets to make this one gluten free as well. Serve with a side salad and some crusty bread for a delicious meal for the whole family with love - even the meat eaters!

This one is for my sister Gez - who loves cake but always misses out because they are never gluten free!

Another fave from our friends at Yum Bakery! Rich, fudgy, and completely irresistible, chocolate brownies are the ultimate comfort treat! Each bite is a perfect harmony of chewy edges and gooey centers, delivering a chocolatey hug to your taste buds. Whether you pair them with ice cream or enjoy them solo, brownies are pure bliss in every square.

We take Chocolate Mousse and up it a little by making it a delicious frozen desert, called Semifreddo which in Italian means 'half-cold' or ‘half-frozen'. Because of the eggs in the recipe, it never really hardens up like ice would when you freeze it, so it stays as a silky creamy decadent dessert! Try it - we think you will love it too!

This is my all-time favourite dessert. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but when I am craving something sweet - it is this! Rich, dense date slice, then covered in our butterscotch sauce. Oh My! Serve with custard, whipped cream or my favourite - vanilla bean ice-cream!

When I lived in Italy I learned a few things, one was that this is not how Italians make Bolognese! The other was that food slowly and lovingly cooked tastes a million times better. This is our 24 hour slow cooked Bolognese Sauce. Great on pasta, zoodles, roast potatoes, and even in a toastie!

Our 24-hour slow cooked Bolognese Sauce was already gluten free and dairy free, now you can get it served with our favourite Gluten Free and dairy free Spaghetti.

Slow cooked chicken thighs in an apricot nectar sauce. Served with Rice and a side of green beans.

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.

Scrambled free range eggs, chargrilled capsicum and Baby Spinach! Breakfast on the go or something to sit down and devour! Breakfast for dinner? Wrap your way!

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 a classic pairing for a reason. Simply delicious! Toast in an air frier or oven the get the Havarti Cheese melted for a lovely lunch or light dinner.

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

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. We par bake them, ready for you to finish at home until they are warmed through and crispy.

Looks somewhat like Bolognese but tastes more like the Mince taco filling we all love here in Aus. 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 was always my favourite thing to order when we would visit the local Chinese restaurant growing up - warming, but still fresh from the sweet corn. There was always something about this meal that made it feel more than the sum of its actually quite simple parts. We have added poached chicken breast to make it an even more filling meal!

We eat this on its own, it is a meal in itself - loaded with veggies and with a savoury sauce, then sprinkled with green onions for bite. A wholesome meal or serve with a stir-fry and use this as the base!

The brainchild of a hungry Sam! She confessed she always eats the entire Cob Loaf when she makes one at home — so she set out to find a way to make them just as satisfying, but a little less over-indulgent. We prep them for you, and you finish them off in your oven or air fryer. They’re gooey, golden, and seriously satisfying. Perfect as a warm snack — or add a salad and call it dinner.

Classic! With our favourite sliced Central highlands ham and Jarlsberg Cheese, this is delicious fresh, warmed through in the microwave, or oven to make it crispy - or even in the sandwich press!

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! :-)

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!

We slow roast the end of season tomatoes with a dash of salt, pepper and smoked paprika (for added smokiness), then blitz it together with a little thickened cream. It feels like it's creamier than it is when it is actually a really healthy meal! I of course ruin that by adding a side of grilled cheese sandwiches - but it really makes it like the homestyle tomato soup we had growing up and I suggest you do it too!

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!

This is our homemade take on the Aussie classic. It's mince flavoured with the help of bacon and tomato chutney to give it a salty and sweet balance. Served as 3 small rolls per serve - great for a snack or with side like mash and veggies as a meal. Classic! Great with Tomato Sauce.

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

The last time we made this we got rave reviews “omg! The curry was amazing”, and “The kids licked the plates clean!”. This vibrant curry is made all the more authentic with the addition of lemongrass, makrut lime leaves and eggplants from our garden. Cheaper than takeout, freshly made with local farm produce, let us cook your dinner! This is a single serve with rice, frozen so you can pop it in the freezer and then enjoy it whenever suits you!

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 peas to make this one a winner, winner chicken dinner.

From our friends at Yum Bakery! Bright, zesty, and oh-so-sunny, lemon curd tart is the ultimate dessert pick-me-up! With its golden, tangy filling nestled in a buttery crust, it's like a slice of pure happiness. Perfect for everything from tea-time treats to celebratory feasts, it’s as delightful to look at as it is to eat. What’s not to love?

A mix of classic vegetables to help you get your daily vegetable quota in - which is easy when they are covered in that lovely gravy! I like to have a side of crusty bread for this one to make sure to get every last bit of the gravy! We use a gluten free and vegetarian friendly stock so you still get that comforting feel of a warming stew - without the meat! Just how I like it! Even better, it's gluten free and made FODMAP friendly with Garlic infused olive oil and no onions!

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.
