Phlavour Revolution: Greek duo deliver home-cooked goodness to your doorstep

·

The duo behind restaurant Bahari in Richmond, now in it’s 11th year – have recently launched a new venture, called Phlavour, ‘Mediterranean Ready Meals.’

Chef Philip Vakos, who brings the creative food and flare, along with his partner and wife Heleena, a strategic thinker, and marketer by trade – are passionate about their Greek heritage, and ensuring
it’s prevalent in all they do.

Through their new ‘Ready Meal’ venture, they seek to provide home cooking – familiar dishes, but as elevated, sustainably packaged ‘Mediterranean Ready Meals’, conveniently delivered to people’s homes. Simply heat, and eat!

Chef Philip, well known for his time on MasterChef, and also many community and TV appearances over the years – is always adding new meals to the menu, and remains committed to delivering ‘fresh, not frozen’ meals, with no preservatives whatsoever.

As a restaurateur, chef, and now father, Philip maintains an active lifestyle, and eating well is a very big part of that.

“These meals are literally how we cook for ourselves, our family and friends. The menu is inspired by my favourite Mediterranean dishes, and food that gets me and my young family through the week,” Philip said.

Having softly launched about a year ago, Phlavour’s Meals have been very well received by working families, busy professionals, sports teams such as Richmond FC & Melbourne Storm – and also the elders in our community, through their Home Care Packages.

As the cost of living goes up, and life gets busier – the reliance on ultra processed foods is increasing. Philip and Heleena, are passionate about helping others eat good, tasty and clean food – and want to help those who might be time poor, be able to do this, conveniently – as they deliver to homes on a weekly basis.

“The Mediterranean diet is a special one, and I’m really excited to keep growing this menu and sharing these meals with people in their homes. If we can help people save both time and money, eat better, while also looking forward to meal times – that means a lot to us,” Philip said.

As a Mum and Entrepreneur, Heleena is always juggling priorities – but remains focused on having quality time with her family.

“Having a few meals up your sleeve (or in the fridge!), even for a few nights a week, can really give people back that crucial time for more important things – while giving them peace of mind that they’re eating well, and so is their family,” Heleena said.

Phlavour is working closely with many Home Care organisations like Fronditha & Pronia, to nourish and assist both clients and their carers, as their loved ones may have lost the ability to cook the familiar food they love. Their partners are now widespread across Victoria, and they are adding more and more partners every week.

“We’re both very community minded, and it’s been really nice to support both our wider and Greek community through delivered meals like this. Having wholesome, nutritionally balanced, culturally familiar meals available through Home Care Packages – means carers can save time, whilst having
peace of mind that their loved ones are eating well, AND enjoying their food,” Heleena said.

Specifics:

  • Phlavour Meals are available via www.phlavour.com.au, for both pick up and home delivery.
  • For phone orders and any further information call 1300 574 730 to leave a message and the team will get back to you!
  • The team plans on continuing to expand their menu, offering their ‘Mediterranean Ready Meals’ to wider Victoria, and other states in the near future.
