What do you get when you mix the best ingredients from local, ethical suppliers, a Leith-trained chef, a foodie with a head for business and a gap in the market for convenience? 

Let us introduce you to ByRuby – the creators of DELICIOUS, hand-made frozen meals that are ready when you are.  

Let’s be honest – sometimes you just don’t feel like cooking from scratch. You’ve had a busy week (when isn’t it?), you’ve had some difficult news, you’ve been poorly… you’ve just had a baby! There are countless times, some big, some small, where we just can’t turn our hand to peeling potatoes and chopping onions.  

But, at the same time, not having the means or motivation to cook doesn’t mean you want to compromise on a good quality, healthy and delicious meal. 

At DBHF, we believe that food is medicine for the soul; we’re a team of foodies, so it’s important to us that we choose suppliers who match our ethos – thoughtfulness. One of the (many!) things we love about ByRuby is that they were founded on the same idea as DBHF; to give new mums something they actually needed. 

“When I had my first baby, my sisters filled my freezer for me with a batch of nourishing and tasty food; they couldn’t have given me a better present. Being able to reach for something delicious and convenient was a Godsend!  

Once I was through the early baby fuzz, I thought how nice it would be to be able to do what my sisters did for me for friends who lived further afield and were in a time of need.  

With my Co-Founder and brilliant chef, Ruby, we started ByRuby in 2018. Our mission then and still is now, to fill people’s freezers with delicious and nourishing handmade food cooked with only the best ingredients. 

For anyone going through a tricky time where cooking is at the bottom of their list but enjoyment of food and nourishment is at the top, we create handmade frozen pre-prepared meals that deliver delicious quality heartiness every time, ready when you are.” Milly Baggot, Co-Founder (& foodie) 

So, what’s on the menu? It’s jam-packed with delicious, comforting dishes we all know and love. From classic pies like Fish Pie, Chicken, Leek & Bacon Pie…and Cottage Pie! To British Chicken Tikka Masala, Grass-Fed Beef Bourguignon, Coq Au Vin and Lasagne. There’s enough variety on the menu for the whole family to enjoy, time and again.  

And, the best bit? Your friends and family members won’t be receiving the meals in their DBHF gift boxes – you’ll be purchasing gift vouchers for them, so they can choose the meals they want and place their order whenever they need a helping hand the most.   

Whether you know a new parent, someone who has suffered a bereavement, is going through a tough time or simply needs a little help just now, we believe ByRuby vouchers are a brilliantly thoughtful addition to any of our gift boxes. 

Bon appetit.
