────────────────────────
This is an early Daily Nourish development meal and is not currently available for sale. We’re gathering honest feedback to refine the flavour,  portion size, , packaging and reheating experience before considering it for our Founding Release.

Full description
This is Daily Nourish comfort food with the effort removed. We make sage-seasoned pork meatballs, then nestle them into a deeply savoury onion gravy. Alongside is a generous tray of cauliflower mash and broccoli, ready to heat and bring straight to the table.

The family pack is designed for four people and is split across two trays: one for the meatballs and gravy, the other for the vegetables. It is a practical freezer dinner for a busy night, while still feeling like someone cooked for you.

ABOUT THIS TEST

We’re assessing:

• Overall flavour and enjoyment
• Whether the pork meatballs are tender, well-seasoned and satisfying
• Whether the onion gravy is rich enough, tasty enough and generous enough
• The balance between meatballs, gravy, cauliflower mash and broccoli
• Whether the cauliflower mash is creamy and enjoyable after freezing and reheating
• Whether the broccoli holds its texture after reheating
• Whether the two-tray format feels generous, practical and easy to serve
• Whether it is the right portion size for a family of four
• Packaging, appearance and ease of reheating
• Whether you would genuinely purchase it for a family dinner—and at what price

Your feedback will help determine what needs to change before the recipe, ingredients, packaging and production process are finalised.

WHAT DAILY NOURISH IS WORKING TOWARDS

Daily Nourish exists to remove the effort from eating properly: satisfying meals made predominantly from recognisable ingredients, with generous protein, plenty of vegetables and clear, honest labelling.

This founding kitchen test establishes a reliable starting point for flavour, consistency, packaging and reheating. Part of the development process is deciding whether every ingredient earns a place in the final recipe—and finding better alternatives where it doesn’t—without compromising taste, value or convenience.

Our working principle is simple:

Whole-food ingredients by default. Processed ingredients only when they provide a clear benefit, and always transparently declared.
