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

Healthy and tasty fresh salmon from with a lemon and garlic marinade. It is then served with baked veggies alongside to make it a light, healthy meal in one.

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!

Is it Thai or it is Indian? Actually, the Massaman curry is of Indian Heritage but is then combined with more traditionally Thai flavours such as lime, lemongrass, galangal and coconut cream. We slow cook the beef in a lemongrass broth until it is fall apart tender, then make the sweet, salty and sour curry sauce that is often licked off the plates here! You can have this with potatoes and rice or go full keto using swedes in the curry, on a bed of coriander cauliflower rice. You choose - just let us know in the comments! :-)

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!

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!

When I had my first job, it was next door to a Vietnamese bakery that sold little round take away containers full of custardy creamy set rice pudding topped with cinnamon. As soon as the weather started to turn cold, I used to look forward to getting one of these. popping it in the microwave until it was warmed through and then devouring it to warm up! This dish takes me right back there!

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!

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.

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!

Tender chicken breast pieces in a light, creamy herb sauce with broccoli, cauliflower and peas. This meal is gluten free, onion and garlic free, and designed to be gentle on the tummy while still being high in protein and packed with vegetables.

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 off the bone sliced 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 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.
