The History

 Marion, my mother-in-law, is in her “senior years”, lives alone and is unable to prepare her own meals.  

After her daughter, my wife, Wendy, passed away in 2020, Marion's Meals started to evolve as I was assuming more responsibility for shopping and cooking for Marion. 

This offers a wide selection of frozen Soups, Sides and Main Meals to Marion - and a few sweet treats - but with recipes that many others have enjoyed over the years. 

1. Meals are quick and easy to prepare in batches in a domestic kitchen

2. Recipes use minimal, and common, ingredients.  

3. Meals use low-cost ingredients. 

4. There are no specialist ingredients that you would not find in a typical store cupboard. 

5. We are able to buy ingredients from the local supermarket 

6. We encourage the use of fresh vegetables. 

7. The dishes are easy to eat and digest for anyone that does not have strong bite or robust stomach 

8. Meals do not have any strong flavours or “heat” from spices 

9. Meals are suitable for freezing 

10. Meals are easy to reheat and serve 

Thanks to Susan Brown who unknowingly inspired me to write Marion’s Meals and who helped me over the years with testing so many of the recipes.  

The first edition of Marion's Meals (in print) was dedicated and gifted to Susan on her 60th birthday, 11th April 2022.

Thanks also to “my maw” for giving me the help as a child to understand the benefits and methods for this style of cooking. 

Thanks finally to Helen, Adam and Douglas for their suggestions, support and motivation, to help me complete Marion’s Meals.
