We eat with our eyes
These days Australians are exposed to a plethora of food options, multicultural cuisines, cooking shows, dietary choices, food editorial, celebrity chefs, cookbooks and the like. Dining out has become as routine as eating at home, and some suggest we are now a nation of foodies.
We certainly have broader tastes and food experiences. No longer is it enough for food to be just satisfying and nutritional. It needs to be delicious, and it must also look incredible.
‘We eat with our eyes’ is an adage we at Meals on Wheels have taken on board. We’ve created new and exciting dishes that are a feast for your eyes as well as your taste buds.
We get it…and you can too!
People’s tastes change, and there is a willingness to try the interesting and innovative. We get it!
That’s why Meals on Wheels today is about food that’s fabulous, exciting and enticing, fresh and flavoursome, and imaginative. Interesting dishes garnered from all corners of the world.
Eating tempting and tasty food is an essential aspect of people staying healthy and independent. There’s a lot of evidence to show that eating well and regularly is a great way to prevent health issues. However, it doesn’t have to be bland and unexciting.
We believe a real meal is something to look forward to, so our delicious meals are delivered to your door with a smile by friendly Meals on Wheels volunteers and include:
- soup
- main course
- dessert
Your healthy, flavoursome meal provides what is regarded by nutritional experts as a little over a third (1/3) of your daily nutrition and energy requirements. It’s therefore essential to remember that other meals and snacks are eaten during the day as well.
We appreciate that some people like to use the Meals on Wheels meal as a ‘base’ for their daily requirements. And with meals this good…why wouldn’t you?
We are also able to offer our meals in a variety of formats, and most customers can choose their main meal from two alternatives available daily from our rotating menu.
