Our Story

There is a lot of heart in what we do.

At The Family Cook, our talented team is deeply passionate about helping people through food. From the moment a meal is prepared to the gentle care taken in placing it into its container, every step is considered. We want each meal to arrive just as it should - nourishing, comforting, and perfect for you.

Our chefs are exceptional. While our meals are restaurant-quality, they taste like home cooking - the kind of food someone who loves you would make. And that is something truly special.

Our mission has always been simple: to provide as many people as possible with nutritious, wholesome, and nurturing meals. To support this, all of our meals are dietitian approved by Dr Pennie Taylor and thoughtfully designed to support everyday living - helping you eat well, feel well, and enjoy food as part of daily life.

We are incredibly proud to be a registered NDIS provider, and through select services across South Australia, we also support clients under the Support at Home program.

We are equally proud to cook with premium, local South Australian produce. The best ingredients are right on our doorstep, and we choose them carefully - free-range chicken and eggs, grass-fed beef, and the freshest vegetables and herbs. We never compromise on quality, because we would never serve you anything we wouldn’t serve our own families. Quality is the foundation of everything we do at The Family Cook.

Thank you for allowing us to cook for you, your family, and your loved ones. We promise to continue caring deeply, taking pride in our work, and sharing the very best ready-to-eat meals South Australia has to offer.

Best wishes,
