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.

Just add hot water, and in 5 minutes, you have a hot, homemade meal ready.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/92537f21-8005-478a-a814-d626bd04a71e) - [Video: 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.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2ef3f22e-f55a-4bec-8165-24cb7a5a3394) - [Video: 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.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e937b0ad-10d0-4927-9ab8-03c992ba9a53) - [Video: 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.

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.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6d76bff1-7902-42e5-9165-a44820e5404f) - ![Here’s a quick summary of why people have trusted me since 2011.

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. ## About My Taste My Meal I started this because I know exactly how much parents worry about their children eating healthy food abroad. I treat every batch of food you bring like it is my own, using the right technology to keep the taste pure and the ingredients natural.
