A warm welcome to Autumn, introducing our menu for the new season.

As we await the leaves falling into our yards, we are excited to introduce our Autumn 2025 Menu—a delicious selection of seasonal, nutritious, and child-friendly meals crafted with care to support the growth and development of your little ones. This menu is not only approved by Nutrition Australia’s Healthy Eating Achievement Program, but it also aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), ensuring that mealtimes at Choklits are an opportunity for children to explore new flavours, develop healthy eating habits, and enjoy a variety of fresh, wholesome ingredients.

Welcome to our new Chef, Jordan!

This season, we are also thrilled to welcome our new Choklits Ringwood Chef, Jordan Graham, to our team (thats him, above). With years of experience in creating nutritious, child-friendly meals, Jordan brings a passion for fresh, seasonal cooking and a commitment to making mealtimes both fun and nourishing for every child at Choklits.

With a background in healthy, balanced meal planning, Jordan is dedicated to making mealtimes exciting, fun, and educational. He believes that food should be both nourishing and enjoyable, and he’s already bringing new ideas and creativity to our kitchen.

Jordan is looking forward to meeting all the Choklits families and sharing his love of fresh, seasonal cooking with your children. Please join us in giving him a warm Choklits welcome.

A seasonal feast: what’s on the menu?

Our autumn menu is bursting with comforting, nutrient-rich meals designed to fuel little bodies and minds. Each week, your children will enjoy:

• Warm, hearty meals like lullaby lamb, a slow-cooked Malaysian-style lamb curry packed with seasonal vegetables and served with jasmine rice.
• Vegetable-rich dishes such as farmer’s feast, a creamy tomato-based pasta full of autumn’s best produce and topped with parmesan cheese.
• Exciting international flavours, including hey diddle diddle – beef in the middle, a fragrant Asian-inspired fried rice packed with tender beef and fresh vegetables.
• Wholesome meat-free options, like baa-baa-black-bean, our vegetarian twist on chilli con carne, featuring flavourful Mexican-spiced beans and garlic bread.

With a strong focus on fresh ingredients, whole foods, and balanced nutrition, our menu ensures that your child receives essential nutrients for growth, development, and sustained energy throughout the day.

Why our autumn menu is special

At Choklits, we take great pride in offering meals that are not only delicious but also designed to support children’s health and well-being. Our menu:

• Meets Nutrition Australia’s Healthy Eating Guidelines – Every dish is carefully designed to provide the right balance of protein, healthy fats, whole grains, and fresh vegetables, ensuring that children receive the energy and nutrients they need to thrive.
• Encourages positive mealtime experiences – The EYLF highlights the importance of building healthy food relationships, and our menu reflects this by introducing a variety of flavours, textures, and cultural dishes that help broaden children’s palates.
• Caters to all dietary needs – We proudly offer dairy-free, gluten-free, and allergen-friendly options to ensure that every child is included in our mealtime experience.
• Reduces added sugar and prioritises natural ingredients – We use fresh produce, natural sweeteners, and whole ingredients in all our meals, ensuring that children enjoy food that is both delicious and nourishing.

As we settle into the new season, we are proud to offer a menu that reflects the warmth, nourishment, and joy of autumn. Our team—led by Chef Jordan and our passionate kitchen staff—is committed to providing meals that support your child’s health, development, and love for good food.
