Today is World Autism Awareness Day, a time to celebrate and support people living with autism, including their unique relationships with food.

For many people living with autism, eating can be challenging due to sensory sensitivities, routine preferences, or difficulties with certain textures and flavours. As dietitians, we believe in meeting people where they are and creating a judgment-free space for eating.

Let’s continue to create a world where all eating experiences are respected and supported. 💙

At Therapy Kitchen, we love meals that are simple, versatile, and easy to prep ahead - and Jessie’s go-to Bolognaise Sauce ticks all the boxes!

By making a big batch once a month, Jessie always has a meal ready to go. Just grab it from the freezer in the morning, and dinner is already halfway done!

Bolognaise is one of those meals that can be used in so many ways - whether it’s tossed through pasta, spooned over baked potatoes, layered into lasagne, or even used for nachos. It’s also a great time-saver, with one batch making enough to cover at least one meal a week for a whole month. Packed with vegetables and rich in flavour, it’s an easy way to add extra nutrients to your meals while keeping things delicious and comforting.

Jessie’s basic bolognaise recipe includes:
🥄 Garlic oil (Jessie uses this as she can’t eat garlic & onion)
🥕 Carrots, zucchinis, capsicums, mushrooms
🥩 Beef mince, pork mince, bacon
🍅 Tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, tins of tomatoes
🌿 Dried herbs, chilli sauce

Simmer it low and slow on a weekend afternoon to make it thick and rich. The result? A deeply flavoured sauce ready to be used in multiple ways!
