Chef, author and television personality, Ricardo, knows about good food and time well spent with family. With more than 20 years of experience developing restaurants, writing books and creating over 100 food products, Ricardo is on a mission to bring people together through simple cooking and exceptional eating.
“There’s nothing more important to me than spending time with loved ones and making time to cook and eat together as a family,” says Ricardo. “But more often than not, life gets in the way — we’re so busy, and it’s hard to make the time to cook a delicious meal from scratch, especially as we head into the fall. That’s why we launched the RICARDO products.”
RICARDO products are gourmet, chef-inspired meal solutions that take the time and energy out of meal prep. They range from ready-to-cook frozen meals and marinated meats you just need to pop on the grill to delicious dips that elevate your side dishes. Ricardo’s products have already launched in Quebec and Ontario, offering families quality and convenience. Now, with the launch of RICARDO products in Western Canada, families here can also enjoy Ricardo’s flavourful, easy-to-make meals, so they can spend more time doing the things that matter most. “It feels great to be able to bring these products to the rest of the country, and I can’t wait to see how people like them,” Ricardo says.
Quality ingredients and flavours
Created by one of Canada’s most beloved chefs, RICARDO products are high in quality and delicious in taste. “I truly believe cooking meals quickly shouldn’t mean compromising on flavour or taste, and that belief carries through to our products,” says Ricardo.
Safeway’s line of RICARDO products includes ready-to-cook marinated meats like flap steaks and stuffed chicken breasts, individual frozen meals like meatballs in BBQ sauce with bell peppers, a variety of sauces and dips, and, of course, sweet treats for dessert like lemon cheesecake and red velvet cake, all made from quality ingredients.
“We have a strong commitment to quality, and throughout the product development process, we test each recipe at least four to six times to ensure it meets the standards for quality, flavour and taste,” he says. “We avoid artificial flavours and colours to ensure a nutritious experience for the whole family.”
Time well spent
Ricardo designed the products to make meal preparation easier for busy families. This aligns with Safeway’s mission to help families make more memories, especially through moments when good food is at the heart.
Less time in the kitchen means more time with your family. With RICARDO products, meal prep is easy, without sacrificing a flavourful experience. Just decide whether you’re in the mood for Mediterranean-style chicken, curry and ginger pork chops or a salad dressed with RICARDO maple balsamic dressing. And to satisfy your sweet cravings, finish your meal with ready-made sheet pan desserts, such as the RICARDO carrot cake tray.
Make busy weekday dinners more tasty and memorable this fall with RICARDO products, available exclusively at Safeway.
