Our Lamb Shanks and Vegetable sauce. We’ve spent hours cooking this, so you don’t have to.

Our chef puts the lamb in the oven at 5 in the morning so it has enough time to gently cook until it’s fall-apart tender. Prime Aussie lamb shank is gently and slowly braised with our chef's own special vegetable sauce. The end result is full of deep flavour, and meat that literally falls off the bone (you can see that in this photo).

The rich and robust sauce is slow cooked with vegetables, wine and stock, and seasoned with fresh rosemary, bay leaves, thyme and mixed herbs.

We offer a main course size – two shanks in vegetable sauce to share. Just add your own carrots, beans, or other vegetables.

Or have a single serve, which comes with creamy mash, as well as the sauce. Plenty enough for a great meal for one, but you can always add your own extra veggies if you wish.

Our Apple Crumble is made the traditional way - with real food ingredients.

The topping is made crumbly by mixing flour with real butter (not margarine) and then just a touch of almond meal and desiccated coconut is added. It's baked until the crumble topping goes brown, (and reheating it in the oven with make that topping go a little chewy.)

The apples underneath the crumble really are apples - not a mushy apple sauce. They have been gently cooked until they still have texture and a little bite, and still hold their shape (which you can see in the photo). They are not over sweetened so that they're a great complement to the topping.

Our Crumble is all real food. It's made with everything you'd use at home - there are no numbers, thickeners, emulsifiers or artificial flavours. Only 100% real food ingredients, just like your gran and great-gran would have used.

It comes in a generous 450g size, which easily gives 2-4 servings.

Our latest Single Serve Meal - Chicken Mughlai with Saffron Rice. A rich Mughlai curry with depth of flavour, spice heat and super-tender chicken. Lighter than most curries as cashews are used in place of ghee.

A truly authentic dish straight from the kitchen of our new Indian Chef.

Spice Level: Medium-Hot (depending on individual taste/tolerance)
Gluten-free

Serving Size: 450g (very generous serving for one)

Available for Home Delivery throughout the Canberra Region and parts of Southern NSW

Mughlai cuisine, from the North of India, is known for the richness and aroma of all its dishes. It’s full of flavour and often has a spicy kick, due to the use of spices like saffron, cardamom, black pepper with dry fruit and nuts. Because nuts and yoghurt/cream are used instead of the traditional ghee it makes for a much lighter, less ‘oily’ curry.

Teriyaki Chicken - one of our best sellers (some people ordering up to 8 or 9 at a time). Single Serve, with sushi rice and edamame beans, and also in a meal-to-share size.

Chicken pieces are marinaded in a Teriyaki Sauce - soy sauce, sake and mirin - and then grilled till perfectly cooked. You can tell it's been hand-cooked as the sauce and the chicken have 'caught' on the grill, giving that authentic slight 'charring' which intensifies the flavour of the chicken and the sauce.

Our vegetables - broccoli, and edamame - are gently stewed till al dente - highlighting both their flavour and colour.

These are served with a sushi rice. (The very best bits are those at the bottom of the pack where they have absorbed the sauce!)
