If you’re fed up of cooking after more than seven weeks of home-cooked meals, read on.

Many caterers — short on simchas — have swiftly pivoted their businesses to stay afloat. And, despite the awful times, the home diner has never been better catered for. You can order meals in from Friday night dinner to a cosy, gourmet meal a deux. Food ranges from simple, haimish meals at very affordable prices the more luxurious end of the market, styled by top-end caterers.

It’s a chance to taste food cooked by chefs who normally cater for stylish weddings and barmitzvahs. So grab the chance to eat some of the best kosher food in town — with no need to tussle with a pair of Spanx.

Last night, I was treated to Ben Teneblat’s finest chilli beef — sweet, spicy and tender strips of beef and peppers with a side of my own steamed mange touts. Sticky chocolate babka completed my meal and made my children’s week! I’ve several more Teneblat-produced meals in my freezer, including a spectacular beef Wellington; spicy Thai fish cakes; chicken and courgette burgers and Tandoori chicken legs. Oh, there’s also apple crumble and chocolate fondant — which I’ll crack open for Shabbat. Tenenblat is also delivering grocery items — a one stop shop.
