  • Great sneaky veg

    My son is a great eater but I sometimes have an issue getting him to eat veggies. He loves baked beans with toast for breakfast on weekends so when I found the sneaky veg baked beans I figured I’d give it a shot. For a child who fusses over veggies, he has no idea that they are in his beans because he eats every last drop. He loves them! Success!

  • My kids enjoy eating all vegetables so I don’t need to hide them in their food. But In saying that this is a great way to get children that straight up refuse to eat veggies to enjoy them. My kids love spc spaghetti and baked beans and the vegetables in it are just that little added extra.

  • Fun for kids!

    The kids were all excited about trying something new. They loved the shapes, it was a real novelty. Meanwhile it took the pressure off me as I knew there was plenty of nutrition in the hidden veg. The taste was great also, well it must have been or my two year old would have thrown it on the floor! I’d definitely buy these again and recommend to my friends.

  • Hidden but not in name

    My son thought the spaghetti was delicious and like the fact that it is easier to eat than spaghetti. He did however notice the large label when it arrived and was concerned about the sneaky veg. I think they could hide this on the label better with smaller writing. After being encouraged to eat it though he was happy with the taste and texture and said he would happily eat it again.

  • Great taste better than other tin pasta

    My 2 little kids liked the taste and ate all of it. They are both very fussy eaters and won’t eat vegies. I know they are getting some vegies when they eat this pasta.

  • Love this in our house

    Our boys love “Straya-Sghetti” as they call it. Especially our youngest, if allowed he would eat Spag-A-Stralia for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. It isn’t an overpowering sauce that it comes in and the Australian icon pasta shapes make meal time fun. HOWEVER, just of recent times Spag-A-Stralia has become NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO find in our local area, making for some disappointed boys. Our local Coles, Woolies, and IGA no longer stock it? So if anyone has any luck and can actually find it to purchase, I would have no problems highly recommending the product to you and your family.

  • Hidden health

    Spc have provided a good product that enables parents to feed fussy children and know they have a healthy dinner. I’m not saying it’s good all the time but on days when you don’t have the energy to fight over Veges then it’s great to have a fall back meal the kids enjoy and have their Veges without knowing it. My niece is a fussy eater and it works with her. She loves Spc spaghetti.

  • Hidden Veges equal health

    My four year old niece plays up when it comes to eating her vegges. I find a can of Spc Sneaky veg is a sure way to have a peaceful dinner and a way to make sure she is getting the required vegetables to stay healthy. Not to say her mum won’t persist until she eats veggies but some days she hasn’t the energy to fight so this is a good product in the interim.

  • Ticked them!

    My threenager is going through a phase of not eating anything healthy that I prepare. I am so glad to have found this. He loves pasta, and he loves spaghetti, but little does he know there are also hidden vegies in there. The things you have to do in order to get your kids to eat vegetables!

  • Great for a quick meal

    My kids liked this product though probably not as much as the original spaghetti but they did like the shapes and the taste.
    I liked that a can feed this to them knowing that it’s a good source of protein and fibre, low in sugar, salt and fat free and they have no idea that it is good for them.
    I will defiantly buy these products again it a great quick meal to have in the pantry.

  • Great product boys love it

    Spc fruits are awesome. My sons gobble these down and polish off the whole thing. They’re very big fruit eaters so I go through quite a few of these each week. I know quite a few of my friends use these. I haven tried the sneak a veg but my sons weren’t huge fans but I think I’ll give them another go as they were sick when we Tried them.

  • SPC does it again!

    I’m always trying to find bigger and better ways to get my kids to eat right, without all the added sugars, sodium, colours, flavours, preservatives, etc. Somehow SPC always seems to nail it every time. The pasta pieces are fun shapes, which the little ones love, the baked beans are awesome, and there is at least 1 serve of vegies in each serving. What’s not to love!? The kids love the flavour, I love that it’s Aussie, and that it’s healthier than most gunk you find in tins. I really do recommend this product. Give it a go, you won’t regret it. :)

  • A good back up meal

    Before I get a huge serve of being un-Australian, I really like supporting Australian companies like SPC but their product “sneaky veg” wasn’t everything I hoped it would be. Even though it has reduced sugar and salt levels, there is still a decent serve in the can for it’s size. I liked that there was a serve of veg in each can, and I am a big fan of baked beans but I tend to prefer to make my own. However, having said that my kids liked eating this product and I think it would make a great back up meal if you’ve run out of time for dinner. I wouldn’t recommend it as a regular thing to eat in our cupboard but it’s certainly a quick and easy meal and has some good nutrients in it. We tried this simply because I ran out of time to make dinner one day and nipped down to the shops to grab some milk and whatever else I could rustle up quickly for the kids.

  • Great for the kids!!!!

    My kids always love to eat baked beans and spaghetti and with SPC being their favourite brand I was more than happy to try these! The kids loved the sneaky veg variety just as much if not more than the normal variety. And best of all of course it had the veg in it meaning it was even better health wise for the kids! Will keep these handy in the cupboard for those easy dinners or lunches.

  • In love with this incredible Aussie product

    This is a winner in our house and is much loved by the kids …. Ok and me!! It tastes really good, and the kids love grating their own portion of cheese over the top of the dish. It is also really good on a pizza base, with stringy mozzarella and some chicken – which I always have cooked and pre packaged in 100g snack size packs in my freezer – oh we also add pineapple xxx

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!
