Good Food - Cheat eats: home-delivered meals put to the test:

dish'd

Jacques Reymond, one of Australia's greatest French chefs, is now creating frozen meals. A cause of head-shaking for some, a reason to celebrate for others.

Dish'd is a bloody efficient operation. I ordered a few of the almost 200 items online and they were snap frozen, placed in a box with dry ice, and at my door in the next day.

Cookability: Can you turn on an oven and take something out of a box? Congratulations, you're a chef.

Dish examples: Heritage raspberry and pistachio frangipane tart with butter shortcrust pastry; cod en papillote; porcini mushroom and black truffle pappardelle.

Meal appeal: I'm making the call: these are is best frozen meals I've ever had. Of course, at the end of the day they're still frozen meals so let's not get too excited.

What's good: Opening a box filled with dry ice and feeling like an evil scientist.

What's not so good: The off-chance a child or pet could get in strife with the same dry ice if you're not home when the box is delivered.

Value for money: Meals are comparable in price to similar frozen items from the supermarket but taste much better. Free delivery for orders over $80. Huzzah!

Suitable for: Single folk who work late. Twentysomethings who arrive home from the pub late.

    well my housemate and I have both created account and have both made an order to save $60! Will review next week!

      In the terms in conditions it says 2 order per household they have the right to cancel orders if they feel this term has been breached

      • MelbBargainChaser77 on 14/10/2014 - 00:08

        Well they havnt cancelled anything yet. If thats the case they can cancel both our orders, and neither of us will order from there again. If we like the food, Im sure the both of us will place future orders. The $30 discount was just the right bait they needed for both of us to try them.

  • markj on 12/10/2014 - 09:14

    Haha, just saw this yesterday and wasn't sure how good it was

  • coffeecoffeecoffee on 12/10/2014 - 09:37

    Thanks! The prices are very reasonable - worth a try!

    Just about to put the order in, but I found the return of the cool box under the delivery information. Apparently they want us to return the used and reusable coolbox in the next delivery. Otherwise there is a charge of $5. Not sue how it works if I only order from them once.

    • sleepyowl on 12/10/2014 - 11:40

      Oops already put my order through, ah wells $5 dollar esky :)

    • markj on 12/10/2014 - 11:41

      Yes I saw that as well, however they assured me this isn't a subscription service. So they will probably pick up the box the next time they visit your suburb I'm guessing?

      • eleana on 12/10/2014 - 11:54

        Maybe… food look so inviting… I'm trying very hard to not order…

    • [Deactivated] on 12/10/2014 - 14:43

      Maybe you can take all the food out and return the box to the deliveryman on the spot. I am planning to do that, unless you are not at home on the delivery day.

      • Associatedd3pta @ dish'd Food Store on 12/10/2014 - 16:54
        +4

        Wouldn't be too concerned.
        I'm not 100% on the policy with the box (can find out at work tomorrow and post) but as stated, if its damaged it won't be collected regardless.
        Pretty sure being a one-time customer would mean you get to keep it free of charge.
        I know it will be too late for this offer but as i said - will find out more and post tomorrow.

        In regards to those wondering what is good - i have had the pizzas, gelato, squid sticks and a few of the other deserts (black pearls, love apples and fondants) and was more than satisfied with all!

        • eleana on 12/10/2014 - 19:36

          Thanks for the post d3pta. I ordered love apples and pizzas. Looking forward to them!

    I was looking for how fresh the food is on their website but couldnt find it. So basically theyre just like frozen meals from the supermarket. Still look nice though I guess

  • AssociatedTimH123 @ dish'd Food Store on 12/10/2014 - 16:57

    Be assured that if you don't reorder then you dont have to pay for the box….but if you do reorder just leave it out on the next order so they can recycle it. Guess it just depends if you're prepared to give it a go and if the food tastes any good. I reckon you'll love it!

  • melty on 12/10/2014 - 17:48

    Ordered 10 items and total was $20.05, not bad. Thank you!

  • Camembert on 12/10/2014 - 17:54

    Pre-prepared food manufacturer Simplot has launched a new gourmet frozen meals delivery brand, Dish’d, featuring online ordering with next-day home delivery.

    http://theworldlovesmelbourne.com/600-restaurant-reviews/585…

    www.dishd.com.au is now available in Melbourne and Sydney with almost two hundred delicious dishes, sourced from around the world and all prepared to chefs’ recipes.

    And when asked which is his favourite dish, Jacques is spontaneous, “My favourites are the French tarts, especially the ‘Heritage raspberry and pistachio frangipane tart with butter shortcrust pastry’. It is baked to perfection then snap frozen in the foothills of the Pyrenees” said Jacques, “Ready for you to finish at home. It’s superb!”

  • rawm on 13/10/2014 - 12:25
