The popularity of Class Cuisine's individual meal home delivery service is growing, with more and more satisfied customers signing up for the service every week.
Clackmannanshire was the first Councils in Scotland to offer a range of delicious dinners, frozen, and delivered to your door when it launched the service in November 2010.
This service is open to everyone and delivery is free to people living in Clackmannanshire.
The individual frozen meal service is provided by Class Cuisine, the Council's catering service which also produces school meals and meals on wheels.
Council Leader Gary Womersley said: "I'm delighted to hear that Class Cuisine's individual meal home delivery service is proving popular. These meals are ideal for elderly people who do not qualify for meals on wheels, as well as many other people such as those who don't have time or the inclination to cook. It's very reassuring for customers to know, that as well as being nutritious, these meals are made locally and delivered locally by Council staff based in Sauchie, helping to support jobs at Class Cuisine."
Councillor Womersley met one of Class Cuisine's content customers, Margaret McPhie in Clackmannan this week.
Mrs McPhie said: "The meals are lovely, they really do taste like home cooked food. They are not to over spiced or salty and they are very good value for money."
Her comments are echoed by fellow customers Andrew Telfor in Alloa who said: "The quality of the meals is very good and they are exceptional value for money." And Annie Laird in Clackmannan who said: "The meals and service are brilliant and the delivery driver is lovely."
Janet McIntosh in Sauchie, added: "I am very pleased with all my meals and the service provided."
A brochure which promotes the service is widely available in Council offices and online at www.clacksweb.org.uk/community/mealservice/. A variety of soups, main meals and desserts are on offer and the brochure contains photos of all the meal ranges: beef, chicken, pork, lamb, fish and vegetarian.
Over 70 dishes are available, each developed by the Council's catering staff and cooked at Class Cuisine in Sauchie. They are then immediately frozen to preserve flavour and nutrients.
Once ordered, the food is delivered to the customer. You can keep it in your freezer and then heat it up in the oven or microwave when you want it. The minimum order is £20.
