One sachet is enough to infuse 500g of chicken (or your choice of meat and veggies) to give you and your family a PERi-fect meal in 3 Easy Steps!

1. Simply add your choice of meat or veggies (or both!) to the cooking bag.

2. Sprinkle in the PERi-PERi spice. Fold the bag along the edge and give it a gentle shake.

3. Lay it flat on a baking tray, making sure that none of your meat is lying on top of each other, then pop it in the oven for 30 minutes. It’s as easy as that! After 30 minutes, remove from the oven, tear the bag and revel in the masterpiece which you’ve created.

 

Where can I buy Nando’s PERi-PERi Bag & Bake?

Nando’s PERi-PERi Bag & Bake is available only at selected Woolworths stores nationally. It can be found in the spice aisle or online here.

  • Lemon & Herb

    I really love the lemon & herb bag & bake by Nando’s. My husband and I both enjoyed the chicken I cooked in it and we are excited to make it again, I actually have another one ready to go.

    I enjoyed the burgers we made so much that I am tempted to just do the same again, but this would also be really good with rice or salad. There are so many great options to use this product.

    I personally thought it was amazing in homemade rolls with lettuce, tomato and cheese.

    We will happily keep making this one. It is super easy, convenient, delicious and versatile.

  • Loving the flavours and spices

    I really enjoyed both the Lemon and herb and the medium variety of Nandos Bag and Bake
    Bursting flavours of herbs and spices. I love how fresh the chicken tasted. I like that I can use Nandos bag and bake with fish and other meats. The meat was really tender and was marinated beautiful, this will definitely be added to my regular Woolworths shop.

  • Yum

    It was surprisingly delicious. It will end up being a regular in our house. With fussy children and husband it was something that everyone loved. I enjoyed both flavours but preferred the lemon flavour. I liked how it made it into an easy dinner and something I know my family will eat

  • Medium Peri Peri

    The Nando’s Peri Peri Bag & Bake Medium was very tasty! It was spicy to the point that it made my lips quite tingly, but it tasted so good that I didn’t want to stop eating it. My husband loves spicy food so he was very happy to have the medium one.

    This is a convenient, quick and easy meal that is also versatile. It doesn’t make a mess of the tray or oven so it is really fast to tidy up once dinner is ready.

    I made burgers with our chicken but it would also be fantastic with rice or salad (or many other ways!)

    The instructions are simple, the meal is delicious and we were very happy.

  • Lemon & Herb

    Nando’s Peri Peri Lemon & Herb is so delicious!
    I put 500g chicken in the bag, added the spice sachet, gave it a little shake and put it in the oven for 30 minutes. The chicken came out perfectly cooked and tasted absolutely delicious.
    The best things about this meal are: easy, convenient, quick, full of flavour and versatile.
    I would happily serve this chicken again. If my fussy children had been willing to try it, I am sure they would have enjoyed it too. I didn’t push too hard though because I wanted the leftovers. Haha.
    I recommended this product and I will happily purchase again. :)

  • Surprisingly delicious!

    I was prepared for this to be disappointing. I really love Nando’s and wasn’t sure this would be any good in comparison.
    We tried the Medium spice because my husband loves spicy food and I am not very good at handling hot stuff. We didn’t bother trying to feed it to the kids because they hate even a little spice.
    The instructions are simple and easy to follow, the cooking process is simple and fuss free, and the finished product is delicious.
    We used chicken and used it to make burgers for dinner. Husband and I were both fans. I am keen to try the mild spice now!

  • Scrumptious quick and easy meal

    I absolutely loved the Nandos bag and bake. We used turkey breasts with the lemon and herb spice and beef sizzle steaks with the medium spice. I’ve always been a lemon n herb gal, so this was my favourite. I was amazed that in only 30 mins in the oven the steaks were juicy, succulent and so very flavoursome. Also so healthy and no mess. I will definitely be buying these regularly!

  • Absolutely beautiful

    I tried the medium heat bag n bake about a month ago, I did it a little different though. Coated chicken breast fillets and did it in my airfryer, I followed all of the other instructions apart from the cooking method, and it came out beautiful, juicy and tender. Flavour was amazing, will definitely purchase it again. (Note: you can put the bag in the airfryer)

  • Not a bad idea for a quick meal

    This product was really good. The meat was juicy and fresh and the whole meal was delicious and refreshing. The dressing was a bit tangy but complimented well with salad. My partner and I both enjoyed it and will definitely be purchasing this one again and we will be trying the different flavours. The kids were not 100% sold but over all would try again.

  • Peri peri bag and shake

    Delicious seasoning, altering how it is cooked but with almost the same simplicity works well too. Instead of cooking it in the bag, use the bag to shake the seasoning and flour mix over diced chicken pieces then pop them onto the deepfryer or air fryer and wallah, you have delicious seasoned popcorn chicken. I used the peri peri medium bag and bake for this and I would recommend for sure

  • A new favourite

    The Nando’s Bag & Bake is a new favourite in our house. We like to alternate between different spice levels. Definitely my favourite way to have it is as chicken burgers served with homemade chips.

    The Lemon & Herb extra mild flavour is delicious. It is not spicy at all so is the perfect option for kids to enjoy too. I love the flavour and it goes so well with homemade rolls to make chicken burgers.

    We need to try out some different ways to serve this chicken but it is so good in burgers and I can’t stop having it that way. Haha.

    It is quick and easy, versatile, delicious and a new favourite in our home.

  • Medium is yummy!

    As someone who isn’t very good with spicy food, I honestly thought the Nando’s Medium Bag & Bake was delicious! It made my lips feel tingly as I ate it but wasn’t overwhelming so I could eat it and enjoy it. My husband loves spicy food and he was happy with the level of spice in this meal.

    The Nando’s Bag & Bake is a fantastic meal option. There are so many options on what to cook in it, there is a spice level to suit everyone and it is so convenient.

    We have added this to our meal rotation and really enjoy it.

    I loved the idea of a bag because normal seasoning sachets can be messy.

    The mild flavour was delicious! Our favourite. We love Nandos and being able to enjoy something similar was great. Next time we will cook it on the BBQ for the extra bit of flavour.

  • 4 star great chicken

    when i received this product i was so exited to try. however the only downside was it says cook in electric oven only and i have gas. so never mind that. the spice comes separate from the bake bag, so i improvised and tuned my chicken into strips and made chicken strips on the stove top. it was yummy delish and i recommend to anyone whom has an electric oven not a gas one. kids loved it

  • Winner winner...

    As the saying goes, Winner winner chicken dinner! I sadly didn’t receive a sample of this but when I saw it in the store I had to try. And boy did Nando’s Peri Peri Lemon & Herb not disappoint!
    All you have to do is put 500g chicken in the bag, add the spice sachet, Shake shake shake and put it in the oven for 30 minutes. The chicken was perfectly cooked and so juciy! Everyone in the family loved it and said it tasted yummy!
    Its so easy and full of flavour for any night of the week.

    I recommended this product to others and I will happily purchase again…and again and again!

  • Lemon & Herb

    Nando’s Peri Peri Lemon & Herb is so delicious!
    I put 500g chicken in the bag, added the spice sachet, gave it a little shake and put it in the oven for 30 minutes. The chicken came out perfectly cooked and tasted absolutely delicious.
    The best things about this meal are: easy, convenient, quick, full of flavour and versatile.
    I would happily serve this chicken again. If my fussy children had been willing to try it, I am sure they would have enjoyed it too. I didn’t push too hard though because I wanted the leftovers. Haha.
    I recommended this product and I will happily purchase again. :)

  • Very tasty and delicious

    I was a bit cynical about how this product would work, placing chicken in the paper bag to cook it, but was pleasantly surprised that it worked so well. Very tasty and delicious for not too much effort. We love it and would buy again.

  • From the husband mouth

    Sadly I couldn’t try this product because of the barley in it. But when I asked my husband he loved it and would like to have it for dinner again the chicken was moist and held the flavour well.

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.

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!

  • 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.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
