If you want real food instead of ultra-processed, mass-produced factory meals made to a budget -
Dinner's Ready is your answer.
Is tasty, healthy, real food. We really enjoy eating good food, and would like you to too! To achieve that real home-cooked flavour and quality our chefs cook everything by hand, exactly like you would at home. And each has their own speciality - casseroles, curries, pasta, comfort food, soothing desserts. They've done the cooking so you don't have to. All you have to do is heat and eat.
It's all hand-cooked using only the best real-food produce - not the food-substitutes and chemicals that are used in the processed meals made by manufacturers. And it's nutritious with a high protein content (like our Malaysian Chicken Curry, which contains 62% pure chicken meat – other ready meals can have as little as 16%.) We snap-freeze all our meals as soon as they're made, so that all that beautiful flavour and nutrition is sealed in. (More about why we're different here.)
We have a big variety of hand-made meals - some are single serve, and others are to share. Here's our full menu. Plus we have meals that are gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian. And a great range of 'bundles' - selections of meals for easy home delivery
Who buys our meals? Anyone who loves nutritious, real-food, home-style cooking but doesn't have the time (or want) to cook it themselves. Our customers include busy workers, parents, retirees, those on home-care packages, holidaymakers, lots who work from home, plenty watching their weight or protein content, and many who just need a break. We also supply to sports groups, clubs, motels, resorts, Government departments, corporate offices for their staff, and even a refuge.
In addition to making home deliveries our meals are also stocked in a large range of quality independent retailers around Canberra and the Snowy Mountains.

A bit like lasagna without the pasta! Long slices of eggplant are layered with parmesan and mozzarella, and baked in a deep rich tomato sauce, with fresh basil. Slightly smokey and definitely tomatoey, it's a dish that packs a big punch of Italian flavour.
Pasture-fed beef is slowly braised traditionally with red wine (Burgundy) along with the rich flavours of our chef's own home-made beef stock, bacon, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots and herbs.
13 Benefits of Frozen Meals
1. Natural & Free From Preservatives. We don’t need to add chemicals. Ice is Mother’s Nature’s preservative.
2. Optimum Freshness, Flavour & Nutrition: Snap-freezing locks everything in while the food is at its peak
3. Food Safety: Freezing reduces a number of potentially harmful bacteria
4. No Pressure to Eat the Food: instead of having to eat it within a few days, you have months
5. Less Wastage: No more degraded, spoiled or ‘off’ food to throw away
6. Saving Money: No wasted food means no wasted money.
7. Aids Nutritious & Healthy Eating: If they’re hand-made with real food and premium produce (like our Dinner’s Ready dishes) they have all the benefits of home-cooking (unlike factory-produced ultra-processed meals)
8. Convenience: Your favourite meals are always only 5 minutes away – whatever life throws at you
9. Time-Saving: Instead of having to cook you can spend your time doing what you love
10. Freedom & Flexibility: Having a range of meals in the freezer gives you freedom to eat whatever you feel like at that moment
11. No Seasonal Boundaries: Eat whatever you want, regardless of whether it’s in season
12. Portion Control: A great way to make sure you’re eating healthily while keeping an eye on how much you eat
13. Research tells us that frozen foods can contain more nutrients than fresh: You can read more about this – and all the other benefits – on https://dinnersready.com.au/pages/benefits-of-freezing
