More than just Greek Food

Where to find the best ready made meals for the freezer and delivered food in Australia

March 26, 2020 by Chrystalla Tzaneros Leave a Comment

There are so many businesses who have been hugely impacted with COVID-19. I know it is unrealistic to think we will be able to help everyone but I felt as though there was a way we could help them. Here I share a list of some of the restaurants, cafes and local businesses that I know of that are delivering freezer meals or takeaways for all to enjoy. I know there are many more awesome small businesses that are ready and waiting to deliver some amazing meals! Be sure to share some that you know of as well so we can all work together to support one another.

Support Your Local Small Businesses

There is so much happening in the world right now. Many people have had to shut shop and isolate. I feel it has and will bring increasing stress to all. One thing I think we should NOT do is panic. It’s not a time to be bulk buying from your huge chain supermarkets who once again are profiting from peoples fear and stress. Instead I encourage you to buy locally! Support those small businesses that will be highly impacted during these times. If we don’t, there will be many businesses that will not make it through these next very hard few weeks or months.

Heart felt from 1 minute 25 seconds…

I believe there is a way we are able to support each other through this crazy coronavirus. Every single person should be taking this time to step back, and breathe. We are being given an opportunity to reset, spend time with our families and maybe even take a little time for a little TLC (tender loving care). Can I encourage you to take a little time for you? How about instead of us panicking that there wont be enough food or buying everything off the shelves we just buy what we need?

Buy Some Freezer Meals!

Why not take the initiative to support a local business or two. Buy a few freezer meals so you aren’t caught up in the kitchen while you are trying to work from home, home school, keep the house in order and survive this very stressful time. You could buy a weeks worth of meals and maybe send a couple to an elderly friend, neighbour or grandparent. I think we could all do our part with supporting ourselves, our fellow small business owners and possibly a friend or family member that may need it.

If you do choose to buy some meals please be sure to check if the shop offers delivery services themselves before buying through a third party app. That way the profits can go and stay in that business to support them to pay their staff, rent and overheads! I’ve added links below to those I could find. Feel free to share any you know of in the comments too.

Tell Us About Your Favourite Locals

I know there are SO many other businesses offering these services so please give a shout out to any you know in the comments. Tell us:

  • who they are
  • where they are located
  • share their link!

I think this will really help out everyone looking for ways to support their families. I hope you will find it useful also. Be sure to share it round so we can reach out to as many small businesses needing the support over this time. I wish you all good health and I hope to bring you more useful posts soon.

  • Sarah

    I have made two items so far from the cook book. The traditional greek yogurt, so yummy and so easy. I was happy I could make it thicker than I usually buy it. I also made the rice pudding which was amazing and also very easy. I normally don’t like rice pudding so was very happy with the recipe. I’m looking forward to cooking all the other yummy recipes especially the cheeses and the souvlaki.
