Silvia's Cooking Philosophy
Family First
Italian cooking is family cooking. Every dish is designed to bring people together around the table, just as Silvia's family has done for generations.
Authentic Tradition
Recipes handed down through generations, prepared exactly as they have been in Italian homes for centuries. No shortcuts, no compromises on tradition.
Simple and Soulful
The best Italian food does not need complexity. Quality ingredients, time-honoured techniques and genuine love are all that is required.
How to Reheat Silvia's Meals
Important: Always defrost in the fridge first
All Providoor meals must be fully defrosted in the fridge before reheating. Do not cook from frozen, as this causes uneven heating and burning.
FIFO rotation: When your order arrives, put your favourite meals in the fridge first (so they defrost), and store the rest in the freezer. As you eat a fridge meal, move one from the freezer to the fridge to defrost next.
Oven method (recommended): Preheat to 180 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Celsius fan-forced). Place defrosted meal in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil. Heat for 25 to 35 minutes. Remove foil for the last 5 minutes for a golden finish.
Microwave method (quick): Remove outer packaging. Pierce film lid of tray before heating or transfer contents to a microwave-safe container. Heat on HIGH for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir well, then heat for a further 1 to 2 minutes if required. Stand for 1 minute. Stir before serving.
