On the weekend we gave it a try, see the recipe below for "Black Pepper Chicken Stew"; INGREDIENTS - 800g of raw chicken (whole, chopped into parts)... - 5 teaspoons of The Food Companys Garlic Ginger & Shallots - 1/4 Leek finely chopped - 2 teaspoons of cracked back pepper - 1 large chilli chopped - 1 teaspoon of Belacan (Shrimp Paste) - 250ml Chicken stock - 1 tablespoon of kecap Manis - 2 tablespoon dark soya sauce - 2 tablespoon brown sugar - cooking oil for saute - 250ml water INSTRUCTIONS Mix the chilli with the garlic ginger & shallots thoroughly into a rempah. Heat a wok or deep frypan with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Saute the rempah until fragrant using medium heat. Then add the shrimp paste and chopped leek. Add the black pepper, kecap manis, soya sauce and brown sugar. Put in the chicken and stir-fry on medium heat for approximately 10 minutes. Add the water and chicken stock and mix thoroughly. Turn the heat to high for roughly 20 minutes. Reduce the sauce to about 3/4s. Serve with rice (I did a home-made fried rice). Feeds 4 adults.

13.01.2022 Just returned from FHT Bali 2016 where I had an opportunity to showcase The Food Companys dressings and sauces on the P.T. Armasco Prima stand. Response to our products from the Indonesians (and Balinese) was terrific with many wanting to purchase the stock directly off the stand! A big thank you to Kuan and Aiviyana of PT Armasco Prima for their warmth, hospitality and support of The Food Companys products. If all goes to plan, we will be supplying stock to them for distribution around Indonesia within the next few months.

10.01.2022 As the busy Christmas period shows signs of coming to a peak, we are very pleased to announce the launch of our Premium Caramelised Balsamic Vinegar to the Foodservice market. Manufactured at our Sydenham factory, we have sourced the best Australian balsamic vinegar, mixed it with quality Australian sugar, added a touch of vegetable gum for texture and cooked it using a reduction style technique to produce one of our best products to date, a sticky caramelised balsamic vine...gar, and it tastes awesome! We have packed this vinegar into squeeze bottles and put a flip-top cap with a 1.6mm orifice on it so the chef can use the vinegar straight from the bottle and feather or dress any meal with confidence and skill. Being locally made, our price is very competitve when compared to the imported products. Contact your Sales Representative to find out more about this excellent product, it really is one of our best. We are intending to launch a retail version in the New Year.
10.01.2022 We wish to bring everyone up to date with The Food Companys current garlic situation; As many of you would be aware, there is a world garlic crisis primarily brought about by a 30% drop in global garlic yields and exacerbated by some rather unscrupulous speculators who have bought up the majority of garlic stock and are drip feeding it to market to force the prices up (over 300%). As a consequence we have approached the supermarkets requesting a price increase. Some chain...s have been amenable and understanding of the situation and as a consequence, have accepted the price increase which will be reflected in the shelf price over the coming months. Other distributors have refused to allow us our price increase and as such, we have had to cease supply of product because we were losing money. We continue to work with these supermarket chains to gain a suitable outcome. So if you are having trouble finding The Food Companys Garlic Chopped 375g, Roasted Garlic 250g and Garlic Chilli & Thai Basil 240g you can find them in your local Woolworths or IGA stores. If they are not there for any reason, please do not hesitate to ask the store manager to get them in. Thank you for your continued support of The Food Company, we will keep providing you with the best quality, gluten-free, long shelf-life condiments in the Australian market.

05.01.2022 Unfortunately Woolworths have taken the decision to cease selling our Crushed Roasted Garlic 250g immediately. The stock you see on the shelves is all that is remaining in their stores so you better go and stock up! If you want to keep purchasing our Crushed Roasted Garlic in the future, please dont hesitate to ask your local IGA retailer to get it in for you. Just let them know we use "The Botany Food Group" as our IGA distributor. On the bright side, Supermarket chain Cole...s, have decided to restock The Food Companys Garlic Chopped 375g and we anticipate this product will be in stores by early October 2018. Well let you know when it has hit the shelves. Thanks for the ongoing support everyone, we really do appreciate it. The team at The Food Company
05.01.2022 Here at The Food Company we have been busily working on new product development. What makes this so exciting is, we take suggestions from the many chefs and commercial cooks we call on to help us develop these products and then during development gain their feedback to get the product right. Over the winter, we have been working on a new range of Native Bush flavoured (Indigenous) Dressings, marinades and sauces using such ingredients as Australian Wattleseed, native Thyme le...aves and Tasmanian Pepperleaf. Recently we launched into the foodservice market our first two products being; Lemon Myrtle Dressing and Ironbark Dressing Marinade. Feedback from the chefs, cooks and the foodservice industry has been so positive that we are now seeking to launch them into the retail market (via IGA stores). Well keep you posted on the progress but in the meantime any pubs, clubs, restaurants or cafes that want to investigate further, please enquire with your local foodservice distributor or call The Food Companys Foodservice Sales representative, Julie Natti on 0421 226 004.
04.01.2022 We made a Thai Beef Salad last weekend, it was easy and tasted sensational. First, we bought about 750g of beef steak and marinated it in a half bottle of The Food Companys Thai Style Dressing (ask for it in your local IGA store). We then took a bag of baby spinach leaves, mini Roma tomatoes (sliced), a red onion finely chopped and some cucumber sliced and mixed it together on a plate. After 2 hours we char-grilled the marinated beef on a very hot BBQ for 2 minutes, each ...side (keeping the marinade for later). We then allowed the beef to rest for a couple of minutes, sliced it up and lay it over the salad. With the remaining marinade, chopped a large red chilli into it and then drizzled it over the beef and the salad. Check out the photo of our efforts below. It tasted better than it looks (we thought it looked pretty great) and it was really healthy too!! . This fed 8 of us. See more

04.01.2022 Unfortunately our Garlic Chilli & Thai Basil 240g has been delisted from Woolworths, so stock on shelf is the last of what they have. On the bright side, IGA supermarkets continue to stock this product. If you are having trouble sourcing this, please drop us a line with your suburb details and we will endeavour to get it into your local IGA store.
