Taste.com.au and Coles team up to help ease weeknight meal planning

Taste.com.au's Dinner Heroes

Taste.com.au has launched its ‘Dinner Heroes’ campaign in partnership with Coles, targeting weeknight dinner challenges with themed recipes from its food team.

Taste.com.au has launched its national ‘Dinner Heroes’ campaign in collaboration with Coles, aimed at simplifying weeknight meals for Australian households. Running from 16 June to 13 July, the initiative returns as part of the brands’ annual winter campaign to support home cooking.

The partnership leverages audience behaviour insights and survey data to address key consumer concerns, cost, time, and complexity, through daily themed recipes.

A different approach for each day

The campaign features Taste.com.au‘s food leadership team, including Food Director Michelle Southan, Digital Food Director Amira Georgy, Deputy Content Director Jade Dunn, Senior Food Editor Elisa Pietrantonio, and contributor Brendan Pang. Each contributor has been assigned a weekday to align their culinary strengths with a specific consumer need:

  • Budget Stretcher Mondays – Addressing the cost of living

  • 5 Ingredient Tuesdays – Emphasising simplicity

  • One-Pot Wednesdays – Offering hassle-free convenience

  • 20-minute Thursdays – Providing quick solutions

  • Fakeaway Fridays – Delivering delicious alternatives

Laura Simpson, Content Director at Taste.com.au, said: “Featuring our top team of food experts for the first time, the initiative is guided by their expertise and insights from our annual dinner survey and audience behaviour data. They have created a series of simple and delicious recipes that will connect with Australians and make dinner choices easy for everyone.”
