  • More Maggi Meals

    I happily purchased a wide range of Maggi products after reading the reviews by the wonderful Mom’s community members on these products. I decided to test out many of the recipes on the always hungry family. Maggi has now become a favourite in our household. The request now is for “More Maggi Meals Please”.

  • Has been repeated in our house already!

    I loved both the Maggi one pan risottos. So easy to use as you can add the liquid & then do other things while it cooks itself. It tastes great without having to stand over the pan for the entire cooking process. We have repeated this recipe multiple times in our house already.

  • RESTAURANT STYLE RISOTTO

    I love risotto but I never cooked it at home simply because I have never had the confidence to cook it. When the Maggi One Pan Risotto Recipe Base arrived on my doorstep, I was excited to try it out. With the recipe base, I just could not believe that it was that easy to cook a risotto right there in my own kitchen! The risotto was moist and creamy with full flavour. My family is not keen on risottos but even they found it tasty. I must confess though that I didn’t use leek but used baby peas and spinach instead. With this experience, I will now make sure that my pantry will have at least 1 pack of the risotto recipe base at any time.

    I always thought risotto was a complicated dish! Maggi made it simple. Great ingredients my kids came back for more, a dish the whole family enjoyed. Great that it is made in the one pot so not so much washing up! Will definitely have this again and recommend to friends and family. Thanks for letting me trial Maggi Risotto

    Another fantastic product that was easy for the children to help with, we used prawns instead of chicken and the children loved making it as we’ll as eating it. They also made a crunchy salad to go with it which made it a healthy meal for the whole family, will definitely have it again.

  • Chicken Risotto with Spinach and Pumpkin

    We actually received the Chicken Risotto with Spinach and Pumpkin. We all loved it, this is now a staple in our shopping and cooking, easy to use and oh so delicious. I actually had no pumpkin but used sweet potato instead and was still delicious

  • Delicious!!!

    By far the best product maggi has has ever created! I will be buying this every week! My husband loves it too as do the little ones! I precooked the rice to half way before adding it to the rest of the mixture, it knocked off half of the cooking time and it was still lovely and moist without being too dried out or there being any risk of uncooked rice which I have a problem with usually when I make risotto.

  • NEVER fail Risotto

    I love Risotto, but have always been too scared to cook it, and having to constantly watch it. This recipe base iso so easy to follow, and is unbelievably yummy.
    With one child who is fussy, for him to enjoy it and eat his whole bowl, there is something to be said. It is so easy and so so yummy!

  • Quick and so easy to prepare!

    I bought this product at the supermarket after trying the Maggi one pan dinner risotto with the pumpkin and baby spinach that you add the chicken to [ I was given this via mom to review.]This one with the leek and mushroom was equally as nice to eat and very tasty. It is such a handy item to have in your pantry for those quick delicious meals and the great thing about this risotto is that you use only one pan so no huge piles of washing up!

  • Please FUSSY eaters!

    I have a rarely fussy little boy, and he loves the risotto, despite not eating rice. I was especially pleased that my partner ate it, and it is ridiculously hard to give him something he doesn’t pick at. It was easy to prepare, and I didn’t have to stand over it the whole time. The flavors are amazing, and definitely unexpected from a packet mix.

  • handy in pantry and easy to use

    I was cooking chicken and mushrooms other day and put in rice uncooked and packet of risotto mix and lit milk let it simmer was delicious and easy to do. Like packets of mixes in my cupboard it is true. To add a different flavour and something new

  • Hungry Teenagers - Check

    These have been a great alternative to the noodles standby. Definitely a favourite with the time poor, high energy Uni student. The need to have have instant food, instantly available, is never ending in our household. I was tempted to give this a try and now it is a firm favourite. It is filling and nutritious, and makes a great base for other ingredients. It now has a permanent place in our pantry.

  • Maggi One Pan Chicken, Leek, and Mushroom

    This was super easy to make, but not nearly as tasty as I hoped. This is a dish I think I would prefer to make from scratch, using alot more fresh ingrediants. On the flip side, it’s definately quicker to cook the risotto with the Maggi packet on a weeknight after work, so much easier to get the meal in front of the kids than if they have to wait.

  • Surprisingly tasty

    At first glance I was a little underwhelmed. It didn’t appear to be anything I wouldn’t ordinarily make myself… The end result however was incredibly tasty. Sophisticated enough for a foodie adult, but not overwhelming for my 3yo who wolfed his down. Great addition to the cupboard for days where inspiration is lacking.

  • Converted

    For a quick, easy and tasty meal MAGGI ONE PAN CHICKEN, LEEK & MUSHROOM RISOTTO ticks all the boxes. I usually like to make my meals from scratch but use packet mixes when I’m feeling a bit slack. This was a simple way to make risotto and I have to admit, I’ll probably make risotto like this from now on.

  • Simple easy qUICK

    A winner for our family, I have never attempted a risotto before thinking it was all too hard but with this pouch it was a cinch. Tasted great and the rice was cooked to perfection. The kids who are usually really picky eaters finished their plates which was great to see. I have added this to my shopping list as a staple now for the pantry. It will also be handy when extra guests pop in for dinner as it certainly makes a fair amount.

  • I can now cook Risotto!

    When I first received this product, I thought “I’ll never make this – risotto is too hard”. I put off making it for a few days, but when I did I was pleasantly surprised! It was so easy and tasted great. I don’t normally make packet stuff because the tasted is usually bland, but this was really nice! I loved that it was all in the one pot. I will definitely buy this in the future.
    I took a photo to share but the file size was too big :(

Article Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

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.

Sandhurst

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 

Sandhurst article image

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!
