Adam Handling’s high-end food delivery service allows restaurant-starved diners to create some of the chef’s most famed dishes at home (yes, that does include his cheese doughnuts).

What is it?

Chef Adam Handling has launched a high-end home food delivery service that features a number of dishes that would usually be served at the chef’s London restaurants The Frog Hoxton, Frog by Adam Handling, and Adam Handling Chelsea. And no, it’s not a typo  –  ‘Hame’ – the Scottish word for home, in reference to Handling’s Scottish roots.

What’s on the menu?

Dishes available to order include The Frog’s legendary cheese doughnuts; Nanny Sophie’s fried chicken; and whole lobster with carrot and lemongrass. There are also a selection of dishes that the chef restaurateur has developed whilst cooking at home during lockdown, including a sharing plate of beef wellington served with clotted cream mash, spring greens, and roast carrots

How much does it cost?

The majority of dishes range from £20 to £40 in price, with larger sharing meals costing between £75 and £150. All food will arrive fully prepared, with guides on how to cook and plate each dish. “I’ve been asked on countless occasions to launch a food delivery service, and I’ve replied in the same way every time, ‘I would honestly love to but my food just won’t travel well’,” says Handling. “So, we’ve come up with a way that I think is going to work perfectly

How does the food come?

To make the process as simple as possible, Handling says all of the food preparation will already have been done. Rather than providing hot dishes, the food from Hame will arrive chilled and fully prepared, ready for cooking and plating at home.

Will I be able to recreate his dishes in my kitchen?

You sure will. All you need to do is to scan the QR code on the recipe card to see a video of Handling demonstrating how to cook all the prepared components, and put the finishing touches to each dish. It’s a simple as that.

Where does Hame deliver to?

It started as a London-based delivery service but Handling has since extended its reach across the UK. “We’ve had the most amazing few days, orders for delivery in London are flying, and we’ve now been able to set up a national distribution network so that wherever you are in the UK, you can get a taste of Hame,” says Handling. Hame is available for delivery in London Fridays to Sundays with 48 hours’ notice, and orders for outside London must be given by Wednesday midnight for delivery on Fridays. Orders can be made here
