Home Chef debuted its first-ever Family Menu collaboration and for a limited time, Bluey-themed recipes are ready to be enjoyed by the whole family. This curated meal kit not only adds a playful twist to mealtime but also has the potential to transform the cooking experience into a delightful activity for both kids and adults alike.
The Bluey and Home Chef recipes will change weekly over a month and offerings will include Bingo's "Not Too Spicy" Takeaway Salmon; The Pizza Girls' Garlic Parmesan Sausage Pizza; and Bandit and Chilli's Chicken Soup with carrots and potatoes. While supplies last, Home Chef is sharing a free Bluey toy when Bluey recipes are ordered from the Home Chef’s Family Menu.
Families can soon look forward to a special extended episode of Bluey in April called The Sign, which provides an opportunity for quality time together and at-home viewing parties with Bluey-themed bites.
