Grown from a true passion for quality produce cooked simply using best ingredients, time and love, The Hidden Pantry is about making life easier. We offer fabulous home-cooked food that you don't need to spend hours shopping and preparing to enjoy. The entire process of bringing a deliciously tasty meal to your table is undertaken with time and love – from choosing the freshest of produce and slow
cooking over many hours to providing quality sauces and meals which aren’t available on a mass-produced basis. These days everybody is stretched for time, however many of us are not willing to compromise on good food and the important tradition of coming together with family and friends to enjoy a meal. Throughout my child hood I was blessed with fabulous food as our mother is an amazing cook as was her own mother. Ahead of her time really, Mum loved to try new cuisines and ideas and took great pride in the presentation of her meals. Sunday lunch in summer was often home-made burgers with the works in the back yard. Evening meals were always special with some favourites being: Spaghetti Bolognese, Corned Silverside with White Sauce and veg, Vienna Schnitzel with home-cooked fries, Honeyed Prawns or Lamb Cutlets with home-made tomato sauce and fresh in-season veg. There is no better comfort food than Mum’s special Savoury Mince piled onto buttered toast and best enjoyed as a special Sunday night treat in front of the TV (only allowed once a week, we would huddle together to eat and enjoy whatever series was playing on the ABC). The hub of our home was definitely the kitchen and this is where my passion for cooking began. Life is very different today, and there is precious little time to create home-made meals on a daily basis. The philosophy of The Hidden Pantry is to make life simple for our customers and to provide the best of home-cooked food which not only tastes great but is nutritious and healthy. With some Hidden Pantry products on-hand for those nights when it is all too hard, you won’t end up resorting to a take-away of average taste and dubious nutritional content. You can be guilt-free with The Hidden Pantry because there is absolutely no compromise on quality or flavour, and the added bonus is the extra time you get to spend on yourself or with family and friends.
