Last Minute Chef – Winter Menu 2023/2024

We are here to help! It’s so easy to eat well when you have healthy, convenient meals on standyby in the freezer, ready to thaw, reheat and enjoy! We can be a total meal solution for anyone looking for assistance in creating delicious, nourishing meals. We even deliver!

Our Family Size meals are designed to feed your family, each one can serve 4-6, sometimes more. Meals come cooked for you, with only some simple preparation at home.

Our individual size meals are perfect to serve one, whether you’re dining solo, sending a gift, or prefer something different. 

Prepared fresh daily and flash frozen, they all cook beautifully straight from the freezer. Put them straight from the freezer into a waiting oven and dinner is on the table in less than an hour.

If time permits, thaw them the night before in your refrigerator, and they’ll cook through even quicker.

Pick-up from either our Manotick or Nepean locations, or we can deliver right to your home.

We love cooking for you and we hope that your daily life is made easier knowing that your dinner is done long before you need to eat it.
