Take the hassle out of entertaining, take the hassle out of the grocery shop, take the hassle – even once a week – out of just cooking an everyday dinner.From €48 you can order online a fully prepared main course dish, that easily feeds six, that is delish and delivered to your door (Dublin deliveries only for now, sorry!). All it needs is a reheat in the oven. You could even order a couple, like Masaman Chicken, Beef Stroganoff and Fish Pie and stick them in the freezer for when you’re having a bad day. Sallyann.ie
