MBK in the Surf Coast Times!
Our little business was recently featured in the Surf Coast Times!
Here’s a little sneak peek of what they said:
Readymade meals made locally with love
“Kell Lowdon insists there is one ingredient she infuses into every homestyle premade meal she makes and that is “a whole lot of love”.
The mum-of-three established her business two years ago and admits to being humbled and delighted by the positive response she has received from customers who cannot resist her delicious readymade dinner dishes.
Popular menu items from My Beach Kitchen include the best-selling lasagne (which comes in three sizes), as well as tasty pastas, curries, pies, soups, salads, desserts and more.
Kell doesn’t adhere to one particular diet or food philosophy, but always uses plenty of fresh vegetables, preferably organic, together with local and sustainably grown produce where possible.
Her first foray into business was making resin kitchenware following the arrival of her twin girls, Winter and Sahara who are now aged 8, but she found it difficult to compete with large, inexpensive homeware suppliers such as Kmart.
“It was a great learning curve but I always wanted to do something with food,” says Kell, who is also mum to 11-year-old son Maulie.
“My background is actually in science.
“I did a degree in applied science majoring in water science and fisheries management … and then I worked for a long time in tourism.
“But cooking has always been something I enjoyed and I was noticing that people were really struggling to put decent meals on the table.
“I had this idea to start a little company and produce meals and see how it went.
“I was very nervous, but it’s just grown organically and now it’s really, really busy which is nice.”
Unlike Marley Spoon or HelloFresh, My Beach Kitchen meals are made in Kell’s registered home kitchen before being packaged ready for the customer to reheat if needed and then simply serve in no time at all.”
