“A revelationary change -
I'm really impressed with the quality of the meat/fish and the fresh produce. It’s made a difference to family mealtimes, I worried that with two adult males in the family the quantities would be too small, but they have both said they've found the meals filling.”
- Claire

Ingredients you trust.
Meals you don’t have to think about.
Every recipe is built around whole food ingredients you can recognise. No refined sugars, no artificial additives, no hidden extras.
Whole food ingredients
Recipes are designed for two age brackets (6–11 and 12–16) with adaptability built in. Sauces on the side, removable spice, familiar formats that flex for different palates at the same table. One meal, multiple outcomes.
Designed for real family life
Every recipe is nutritionist-designed with a complete macro breakdown. 500–700 calories per serving. We’ve done the thinking, so you don’t have to.
Nutritionally balanced without the thinking
Pasta is the number one most-requested recipe for families. Gluten pasta is now available across the menu, alongside gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based options for households that need them.
Proper pasta
“We design every family recipe to work for the whole table. That means familiar formats children trust, with the kind of quality and flavour adults actually look forward to. Sauces on the side, spice you can control, and ingredients you’d be proud to put on anyone’s plate. If the kids eat it and the parents enjoy it, we’ve done our job.”

“We are a vegan + gluten free household so these recipe boxes are perfect for us and I love the fact we still get a choice of 6-7 recipes for each delivery. Way better than all other competitors in our experience. Great quality, and quick to solve issues, in the rare case something is not right.”
