Get to know us
Come and meet our amazing team - the heart and soul behind Dinner Twist and learn more about the story of how we proudly became the pioneers of meal kits in Western Australia.
We have a deep desire to support local businesses, promote healthy eating, and care for our planet. Our mission is clear: to bring joy, ease, and delicious meals into the homes of families across WA.
How Dinner Twist was born
When co-founders and husband and wife team Chris and My embarked on a journey back to their homeland, Sweden in 2011, little did they know that it would be the trip that would ignite a spark of inspiration that would forever change their lives.
"During our stay, we witnessed the pure joy that meal kits brought to families. The sheer convenience of a box filled with fresh ingredients landing at our friend's doorstep, relieving them of the dinner dilemma, was simply magical. At that moment, we knew we had stumbled upon something extraordinary."
