Silvia's Culinary Journey

Born and raised in Bologna, Italy's undisputed food capital, Silvia Colloca grew up surrounded by the sights, sounds and aromas of authentic Italian cooking. Her grandmother and mother passed down recipes that have been in the family for generations, instilling a deep respect for tradition and quality ingredients.

After moving to Australia, Silvia became a beloved television personality, sharing her passion for Italian home cooking through multiple TV series and bestselling cookbooks. Her warm, approachable style has inspired thousands of Australians to embrace the simplicity and beauty of Italian cuisine.

Now, through Providoor, that same calibre of cooking is available to anyone on Australia's East Coast. No hours of preparation, no sourcing specialty ingredients, just Silvia's food on your table.

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.

It appears that your voucher belongs to the old Providoor, which, unfortunately, is not us. :(

We understand how much the original Providoor meant to many Australians, especially during the challenging times of COVID. It provided a way to enjoy high-quality meals from beloved restaurants in the comfort of your home. We also understand that some of you may still hold vouchers from the previous iteration of Providoor, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

When the original Providoor, unfortunately, went into administration, we made the decision to purchase the brand because we recognised its significance to so many Australians. Providoor was more than just a business; it was a source of comfort, connection, and joy during tough times. However, while we have revived and rebranded Providoor to focus on delivering gourmet frozen meals from celebrity chefs, we are a completely new company with a different business model and operations.

This means that we do not have any obligation to honour the vouchers issued by the previous company, as those financial liabilities were not transferred to us during the acquisition. We know this may be disappointing news, but please understand that we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our valued customers.

Thank you again for your understanding and for being a part of Providoor’s journey. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality gourmet experiences, and we look forward to serving you in the future.

Warm regards,
The Providoor Team
