Who are we?
Dining Made Easy is a Devon-based business, operating out of Exeter.
We provide high quality frozen food, which can be ordered via this website, or by phone.
Your food will be delivered frozen, in a handy 'frozen' container, to your home or workplace, as required.
The Dining-Made-Easy.co.uk shopping site was started in 2003, by Glenn Platten, when his business was known as I Love Food Ltd. Glenn is now running a successful binoculars website; www.binoculars.uk.com
We have supplied meal deliveries to thousands of happy customers. The service is run by Ian Johnson, who has more than 15 years experience in the provision of quality frozen food to the home. Ian (48) is a down to earth intellect with a particular passion for fish and shellfish.
DEVON
Our locality in Devon offers us a wealth of the finest Fish, Meat, Poultry, Cream Products and much more. We source many of our products locally, but finding the best quality is paramount.
Our success is based on:
Discerning Selection – The products we provide are all made by people who normally supply high-class catering establishments - Hotels and Restaurants and not the retail business.
Preparation - Most of our products are prepared by hand, which is why our food is so different from what you buy in regular retail outlets.
- Air-Blast Freezing – All products are air-blast frozen, often within minutes of preparation.
- Air-blast Freezing preserves food products, as if fresh, without preservatives.
- There is no water content within the food.
- Some products, notably fish fillets, have an external glaze or mist of water on them if they are not vacuum-packed, for protection.
- Nearly all of our products can be cooked from frozen in short time. The end product on your plate retains the flavour and texture of extremely fresh.
Nationwide Delivery – National couriers (Business Post) will deliver your order from Tuesday-Saturday. Please ensure somebody is in to accept the delivery. Your food order will arrive in an insulated container, with Dry Ice, within 24 hours of despatch - or as instructed by you. Dry Ice ensures your food remains at the required temperature, -18ºC or lower. If some Dry Ice remains on arrival please handle it with care, as Dry Ice WILL burn your skin! If the Dry Ice has all gone do not be concerned. It is normal for the ice to sublimate, or turn into gas. The temperature in the container will still be at -18ºC or lower, even when all the solid Dry Ice has sublimated. Once removed from the box you should place your food directly into the freezer (or oven) as soon as possible.
Cooking – All products arrive with full cooking instructions and list all ingredients. Over 80% need NO DEFROSTING. The longest cooking time for any dish is 45 minutes; many can be micro-waved.
