Mum's home cooking ? straight to your door
A healthier meal in minutes with added TLC
When Frank Burke's mother, a distinguished lady in her eighties, wasn't enjoying her meal delivery service, Frank went looking for a healthy, delicious alternative.
"The only time I heard my mother swear, was when she described the meals she was eating through her regular meal delivery service. I knew that there had to be another option out there and it was important that at the age of eighty, my mother maintained her weight and enjoyed her food," commented Frank.
Frank discovered Tender Loving Cuisine (TLC), an independent organisation delivering high quality meals and he organised a delivery for his mother.
"My mum sent me home one day with a TLC frozen meal, and after heating it up, I couldn?t believe the taste I was experiencing, It was mum?s home cooking in a frozen meal ? it was fantastic," said Frank.
"Each meal is independently tested to show they meet strict nutrition srandards?"
Each TLC meal is developed by a chef and nutritionist, and is created with the highest quality ingredients available. Most meals have received the Heart Foundation?s Tick of approval.
With special dietary packages available for people requiring gluten-free, blood-sugar control, low-cholesterol or organic options, anyone can order from TLC and be confident that they are eating a healthier meal.
"Each meal is independently tested to show they meet strict nutrition standards for saturated fat, trans fat, sodium and vegetable content," said TLC CEO, Jack Barker. "TLC is not only about convenience but it is about ensuring your family receives high-quality, nutritious food."
TLC offers clients a wide variety of meal options - including dinners, soups and desserts ? and the menu is available at www.tlc.org.au. Meals are available in regular or large sizes, with several easy-chew and high-energy options available.
TLC currently delivers to Sydney, Melbourne, Newcastle, the NSW Central Coast and NSW North Coast. Clients can place a once only order or organise for a regular weekly delivery option.
There is no obligation or contract to sign and if you are not fully satisfied with the service, TLC will gladly refund your money in full on the first order of up to 7 dinners.

Testimonial:
After paying $120.00 per head last year for a Christmas turkey dinner which was dry and disappointing, I invited the family over to my place for a Tender Loving Cuisine Roast Turkey dinner. It was unanimous that the TLC turkey dinner was the best they had since my wife passed away.
Congratulations to the chef and TLC for such high quality meals.

Home delivery meals with Tick of approval
Tender Loving Cuisine provides a home delivery meal service offering ready meals that are endorsed with the Heart Foundation Tick of Approval.
It all started when a close colleague suffered brain damage. Jack Barker knew he wanted to help, but he never envisaged he would end up delivering more than 4500 meals a week.
Mr Barker's friend ended up in Royal North Shore Hospital after a serious car accident but it wasn't until one of the doctors mentioned that, once discharged, patients needed help with healthier meals to assist their recovery, that Mr Barker though about starting such a service.
Jack decided if it was to be a worthwhile service it needed to provide the highest quality meals. The best way was to obtain approval from such organisations as the Heart Foundation, Diabetes Australia-NSW and the Coeliac Society.
Now most hospitals, government agencies, doctors and health professionals recommend their clients to try the TLC service. The meals are home style and taste just like real home cooking with such favourite varieties as Roast Lamb, Roast Pork, Roast Turkey, Homestyle Rissoles, Shepherds Pie, Sausages in Onion Gravy and dozens of other meat, poultry and seafood choices.
TLC has recently added Organic meals to their range because Organic farmers don't use chemicals: they harness the natural ingredients in the soil, resulting in more nutritious and tasty produce.
Their operation has recently extended from Sydney Metro, Central Coast, Newcastle and North Coast to include significant growth from Melbourne.
Jack said 'We are committed to constantly improving the meals we provide and helping people to live at home comfortably without having to go into a nursing home'.
Statistics already show that one person out of every ten is now 60 or above and by 2050 this figure will be one in five.
As the baby boomers, those born between 1945 and 1960, hit 60 they are set to become the convenience or ?home delivery' generation.
The majority of baby boomers believe they will continue working and also continue living in their own home during the 'golden years'. No nursing homes for them.
This type of lifestyle represents good news for Tender Loving Cuisine, with Sydney and now Melbourne?s fastest-growing home delivery meal provider.
TLC?s Jack Barker said the importance of eating nutritionally balanced food was a list topper to baby boomers. ?Instead of resorting to unhealthy take-away food or tinned and other fast food that can be lacking in taste and nutrition, TLC provides a tasty premium quality home delivered alternative? he said.

Tender Loving Cuisine is the choice of most health professionals
TLC operates throughout most of NSW by supplying home-style meals that carry the Heart Foundation Tick of approval. Their meals also meet Diabetes Australia-NSW nutrition criteria, as well as being gluten free for Coeliacs. The meals are clearly a healthier choice and many hospitals, medical practitioners and health professionals refer their clients because of these health benefits.
The manufacturing quality is assured, their call centre provides caring personal contact, and the computer systems ensure the operation is efficient and professional.
Even with the guidance of the Franchise Systems Group, it has still taken the Tender Loving Cuisine organisation just on 1 year of preparation and planning to launch their healthy home delivery meal service in Melbourne.
The recent appointment of Frank Burke as the Victorian Master Franchisee has set the ball rolling and the early response has been exceptional. Because of the client demand Frank has needed to focus on servicing clients from retirement villages, nursing and home care services.
To assist TLC has now appointed the largest business broker in Melbourne, Wollermann & Associates, to takeover the appointment of up to 30 TLC franchisees in Victoria within the next 2 to 3 years.
With lower entry costs, together with excellent returns without the heavy burden on overheads, TLC offers an excellent opportunity for people with good communication skills to achieve success in a business with a capable and committed support team.

Why Boomers will need TLC
Home delivery meal suppliers, such as Tender Loving Cuisine, are about to experience a boom of their own thanks to Australia's baby boomers.
Statistics already show that one person out of every ten is now 60 or above and by 2050 this figure will be one in five.
As the baby boomers, those born between 1945 and 1960, hit 60 they are set to become the convenience or "home delivery" generation.
The majority of baby boomers believe they will continue working and also continue living in their own homes during their "golden years". No nursing homes for them.
Australia's baby boomers with assets will most likely follow the growing US-trend and move into serviced apartments or small lifestyle villages.
In New York the over sixties are already seeking expensive apartments that provide prepared, ready to eat meals as part of the rent agreement.
Last year the Hyatt Corporation opened its first senior residence in New York State. It had an assisted-living component, where residents paid $US3,300 per month for a one-bedroom unit under a plan that included two meals a day and weekly servicing of the apartment.
That type of lifestyle represents good news for Tender Loving Cuisine, Sydney's fastest-growing home delivery meal provider.
Tender Loving Cuisine (TLC) Chief Executive Officer Jack Barker said the importance of eating nutritionally balanced food was a list topper to baby boomers.
"Instead of resorting to unhealthy take-away food or tinned and other fast food that can be lacking in taste and nutrition, TLC provides a tasty premium quality home delivered alternative," he said.
"Our new range of organic meals is ideally suited to the baby boomers who are seeking something different from traditional meals."
Mr. Barker said the new range of organic meals included meat or chicken dishes, pasta, risotto and soups, including vegetarian and vegan choices.
To order meals online, visit www.tlc.org.au or call 1800-801-200.
As well as delivering to Sydney, Newcastle and the Central Coast, TLC also delivers prepared meals to the Mid-North Coast.
