Want the comfort of homestyle meals without the guesswork? This pack includes 5 petite (≈300 g) meals chosen to suit your preferences and dietary needs. We’ll curate from our current menu and freezer range to build a balanced, tasty selection—so you don’t have to sift through every item. Great for: gluten-free, no red meat, onion/garlic-free, dairy-free, low-salt, soft foods, or “chef’s choice” with a few exclusions. How it works At checkout, tell us your dietary needs and any “no-go” ingredients. We’ll select a mix of mains (and sides where relevant) that fit your brief. Each meal is clearly labelled with name, date and key dietary notes. We can accommodate most simple and moderate combinations (e.g., GF + no onion/garlic). We may contact you if your brief is complex or very restricted to confirm options or suggest a different pack size. While we take great care, our kitchen handles allergens; cross-contact risk cannot be completely eliminated.

This was the last dish to get finalised for this menu! We tried so many variations on fish dishes that transport well and reheat well in a combination of microwave or oven, or even air frier and it turns out that Fish and prawn Mornay won - BUT we already had tuna mornay as a firm favourite and didn't want to have two mornay dishes on the menu! But never fear - we kept testing and turns out fish and prawn in a cheesy sauce is always good - but topping it with mash and cheese was even better than the mornay! So here we are! :-)

A classic comfort food done right! Our homestyle meatloaf is made with Aussie beef, hidden veggies, and a rich tomato glaze, paired with creamy mash and seasonal greens. It’s the kind of hearty dinner that feels like a warm hug after a long day. Just heat and eat!

After spending a few weeks in Italy, it was on the taxi ride back to the airport that I met Marco, a local who ran cooking classes and was fascinated about fat molecule chains and how trans fats travelled through the body. He shared with me this recipe and I make it regularly now.

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!

Made from Melinda’s incredibly popular Choc Fudge Brownie Premix, this indulgent treat is completely gluten, nut, and dairy free, ensuring it’s suitable for everyone to enjoy without compromise.

Pair it with a dollop of cream, ice cream, or a dairy-free alternative for the ultimate dessert experience!

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

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!

Yum Bakery's rich, silky Basque-style baked cheesecake with its signature caramelised top. Beautiful on its own or served with fresh berries at home. Naturally gluten free. Single slice (approx. 100 g) or order a whole cheesecake (8 slices).

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.

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

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.

As I type this it occurs to me how many recipes we have that use mushrooms. As a child I was a devout mushroom hater. It was only later in life that I have slowly (very slowly!) added them into meals that I eat regularly. One way is in a creamy sauce like in a stroganoff, or like this in a rich gravy. This is simple, comfort in a bowl.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Melinda’s Beef Sausage Rolls are a flavour-packed gluten free treat, made with QLD-sourced beef wrapped in a crispy, golden pastry that’s free from gluten, dairy, soy, corn, eggs, and nuts.

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!

This is a heart-warming French classic meal which was popularized after the iconic movie named after it was released. This meal consists of slowly baked end of summer vegetables like eggplant, tomatoes and zucchini in a rich red sauce. We add cannelloni beans, making it a perfect one pot meal. It is Gluten Free and Vegan and it's sure to make you and your stomach know why this meal is famous.

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!

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!

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!

Teriyaki Chicken as we had it in Japan is amazing, light, not too sweet and not too sticky, and served on a bed of sushi rice! It was great - but this is not it! This is a dish that pays homage to the Teriyaki chicken and rice I used to love getting in the food court under Sydney Westfields/Myers at a place called Hokka Hokka. it was not traditional. It was sticky! It was sweet! The rice came with peas, corn and carrot mixed through - which actually was need with that sweet sauce! And of course, I always asked for extra sauce!!

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