  • Would buy again if not so expensive

    My daughter and I thought this was a fabulous product. She gulped it down. She’s nearly 2 and still on toddler milk. I liked what I read about the different nutrition components and the fact that it is organic earned a big tick. However the price point is out of my price range. If I could afford it, I would definitely buy this product.

  • Karicare Organic Toddler Milk for the win

    It can become quite stressful ensuring your toddler gets a good amount of nutrition everyday, however Karicare Toddler have provided a wonderful solution. Certified Organic and Certified Grass Fed with all the added vitamins and minerals gives me peace of mind that my daughter is starting the day right. Loved the freshness seal and the little scoop holder! Highly recommend.

  • My fussy 18 month old loved it

    We’ve used cows milk so I was unsure how she would go with this, but she really enjoyed it! It came at a good time too because she’d been unwell and off her food so this was a good substitute.

  • 3yo Daughter Loved

    Our daughter absolutely loved this milk drink. She has been quite fussy with her flavours in the past but she had absolutely no drama with this! She now makes sure that she asks for her milk every night before bed, which is something she doesn’t normally do! We will definitely be buying Karicare Gold Plus+ Organic Toddler Milk again as this was a huge hit in our household and it is great knowing that she is getting key nutrients! I would definitely recommend this product to other mums with toddlers! Great product made by a great brand, love that its organic!

  • Not for us.

    I wish I was writing a review to say this product is amazing, but in all honesty, it just wasn’t for us. My 2yo gives every thing a try, but this time he took a sip and pushed it away. Tried again the next day and the same thing happened. I assume he is just so used to having full cream cows milk, he didn’t like the taste. We’ve had Karicare Toddler products before but unfortunately this time, it just wasn’t a go for us.

  • Toddler didn’t like the taste

    Tried to give this to my little one a few times but he just didn’t like it. It’s beautifully packaged, has goodness in it for the little one but unfortunately the taste just didn’t suit him. I would still recommend Karicare Gold Plus+ Organic Toddler Milk from a nutrition perspective, but not for taste.

  • Toddler milk for growing children

    Toddler enjoyed the taste but never finishes a full bottle as she’s more interested in food. I liked that it was nutritious and contains key vitamins and minerals for a growing toddler and if my child was more interested in drinking milk/bottles I would probably buy it.

  • Perfect toddler drink

    Toddlers often have days where they don’t eat well and that is normally the case with Jacob. It stresses me out when he doesn’t eat properly and it really puts my mind at ease when he’s had a glass of this Karicare Gold Plus+ Organic Toddler Milk because I know that he’s getting all the nutritional benefits that this Toddler Milk has to offer. He really took to this which is awesome.

  • Not the one for the win!

    I really wanted this to be a success, however my 2 year old took a few sips and made up her mind. She didn’t outwardly say that she didn’t like it but she didn’t drink it either. I tried again on another day with the same result. I think as great are the health benefits of Toddler Milk are they really need to design a Toddler Milk with a flavour the majority of toddlers will enjoy.

  • My kids love it

    My kids love the Karicare Toddler milk drink. They ask for more every time I make it for them. The milk has the right nutrients that I am confident that it will support my kids for their everyday activities. The instruction to make the milk is simple and easy. It is made from organic New Zealand milk which we can trust. It is really good for toddlers and can provide them with the right nutrients. I would recommend it to my friend.

  • Delicious and nutritious drink for busy toddlers

    My 18 month old has an aversion to most foods these days, so getting proper nutrition into her is important to me. Luckily she still enjoys her milk so a good quality toddler milk is a good addition to her diet. She absolutely loved the Karicare Gold Plus+ Organic Toddler Milk. I even gave it a quick taste (because why not) and it was actually quite delicious! I would definitely buy again.

  • Fussy Toddler

    I gave Karicare Gold Plus+ Organic Toddler Milk drink to my toddler in his sippy cup and he had a mouthful and refused to drink anymore. He usually drinks cows milk so unsure if this was too different for him. I did use it on his cereal and he had it with that no issues.
    Love that it is organic and would recommend to other mums who are wanting to try something different.

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
