Freeze-Dried Home-Cooked Food for Travel
Carry the comfort of your home-cooked meals anywhere in the world. Our freeze-drying service keeps your food fresh for nine months—no preservatives, just authentic taste.
I know the struggle for students abroad. Juggling classes and jobs leaves no time for cooking, and you end up eating unhealthy food. This is why I started My Taste My Meal. You can get your own home-cooked food freeze-dried to last a whole year without a fridge, or choose from my range of ready-to-eat meals. Just add hot water, and in 5 minutes, you have a hot, homemade meal ready.
Don't just take my word for it. Listen to one of my customers, a mother who has been using my service since 2021 to send food to her son in the US. She explains how the taste is exactly like home-cooked food and how the processing ensures the food doesn't spoil for months, giving her peace of mind.
People often ask me what the difference is between my freeze-dried food and other ready-to-eat liquid packets. The main difference is weight. My process removes all moisture, making the packets extremely lightweight. You can carry 10 of my meals for just 1 kg, while other retort packets weigh 1 kg for just 4 meals. This is perfect for saving on luggage weight.
Here is a look at exactly how I process your home-cooked food. From the moment you drop it off, I weigh it, spread it on special trays, and use advanced freeze-drying technology to preserve it. I then pack it in single-serve packets with care, so you get the authentic taste of your food anywhere in the world. This is the same technology used for astronaut food.
Besides food, I also help students and families send other essential items abroad. Airlines have strict weight limits, so if you have extra luggage like clothes, utensils, spices, or books, I can pack and courier them for you. My international courier service is reliable and delivers right to your doorstep in the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe.
Here’s a quick summary of why people have trusted me since 2011. I offer 100% Jain-friendly options, use no preservatives or MSG, and my freeze-drying process ensures authentic taste with a shelf life of up to 12 months. It's the most convenient way to enjoy real Indian food.
No matter where you travel, you should never have to miss the taste of your mother's cooking. My service is designed to bring "maa ke haath ka swaad" directly to you, ready in just 5 minutes.
About Featured
You need at least 2kg of home-cooked food for us to process your order. We blast-freeze your dishes at -17°C, which removes moisture while keeping 98% of the nutrition and taste intact. The result is a lightweight, compact packet that stays fresh for up to nine months without any refrigeration, giving you the true taste of home anywhere in the world.
How We Preserve Your Food
When you bring your own home-cooked food to our Byculla workshop, we handle it with the care you'd expect. Our process, often called 'astronaut's food' technology, is a 24-36 hour vacuum cycle. Unlike retort pouches that contain heavy liquid, our freeze-drying removes moisture, making the packets incredibly lightweight. You can pack 10 of our freeze-dried meals in the space and weight it takes to carry just 4 liquid-based retort meals.
Why Choose Our Service?
- No Preservatives: We do not use MSG or artificial chemicals. The preservation is purely due to the absence of moisture and light-blocking aluminum laminate packaging.
- Travel Ready: The compact bricks prevent breakage and leakage, making them ideal for long-haul international flights.
- Jain & Custom Options: Whether you require strict Jain food or specific dietary meals without chillies, we process your home-cooked food exactly as you provide it.
Important Planning
Please remember to book your slot at least 10-12 days before your travel date. Since we process food in batches and verify every pouch to ensure perfect sealing, we cannot fulfill last-minute requests. You must drop off your food at our Mumbai store before 2 PM on your scheduled appointment day. We also offer international courier services for your extra luggage, clothes, and utensils to ensure your transition abroad is as smooth as possible.
