Testimonials

We have cooked for, and heard from, hundreds of postpartum Mothers at the Bethlehem Birth Centre in Tauranga. Now finally we can deliver to your home as well!

These are some testimonials from Mamas we have helped once back at home, as they and the family settle into a new routine.

  • " The cookies helped me produce more milk for my baby and I loved that. "

    There wasn't one thing I'd change about any of the food. It was so delicious. I enjoyed the cookies and muffins and lasagna most of all. The cookies helped me produce more milk for my baby and I loved that, thank you so much.

  • " Such a difference during those early newborn days. "

    I absolutely loved my postpartum food box! The food was so fresh , tasty and nutritious. And having meals prepared made such a difference during those early newborn days. It was such a relief having something nourishing and delicious ready to eat without having to think about cooking.

  • " Made things so much easier "

    The food was delicious and made things so much easier with taking the thought process out of what to have for lunch or dinner after having baby! I would 100% recommend a food parcel to any mum that’s postpartum.

  • " It definitely took the pressure off food prep for a few days "

    It was so nice having food that was not only ready to eat but tasted fresh, nutritious and balanced - and easy to eat with one hand! It definitely took the pressure off food prep for a few days, thank you.

  • " I would definitely order this for myself again or for friends. "

    Thanks again for the beautiful food delivery. It was all very delicious & generous portion sizes! I've just finished the last of the salads now, they last super well in the fridge.
    The lactation cookies were super delish and didn't taste like lactation cookies either.
    I would definitely order this for myself again or for friends.

  • " These meals are completed, balanced, and genuinely ready to eat. "

    I can't recommend these postnatal food boxes enough! The biggest difference compared with other meal services is that everything is included. So many meal boxes just provide a main dish and leave you to figure out the sides, but these meals are completed, balanced, and genuinely ready to eat.

  • " Made being a first time mama a breeze in that first week "

    All the kai I received from Matt @ The Homemade Food Co. was so fresh, tasty & nutritious, and the portion sizes were so generous I could share with my partner too. It made it so easy to reach for a quick snack or full meal instead of opting for takeaways, and made being a first time mama a breeze in that first week not having to worry about cooking 😊.

    Maia, Papamoa

  • " Having nutritious, home-style food ready to go was honestly such a lifesaver. "

    I would 100% recommend The Homemade Fod Co. to any new mum. Having nutritious, home-style food ready to go was honestly such a lifesaver postpartum! 💕
    A special shoutout to the lactation cookies, slow-cooked vegetable chilli and overnight oats - they were all so good! The lactation cookies didn't taste like your typical "lactation" food at all.

    Jordan, Tauranga

  • " Such a lifesaver with a toddler and a newborn. "

    Such a lifesaver with a toddler and a newborn. Everything was delicious. Standouts for me were cauliflower salad, chicken pie, chocolate mousse, carrots/beans, seed bar, and cookie. Highly recommend!

    Kate, Papamoa

  • " Nutritious with well balanced combinations of flavours. "

    It was all absolutely delicious. I like that it was nutritious with well balanced combinations of flavours. I loved your breakfast chia puddings and OMG those bikkies were sooo good.

    Jana, Tauranga

  • " Honestly so helpful for my partner and I over the weekend. "

    Honestly so helpful for my partner and I over the weekend. All the meals were healthy but tasty, and were full of fibre which was helpful after birth! My favourites were the apple crumble, the lactation cookies and overnight oat and chia puddings. 10/10
