Most weeks I write out a menu and a specific shopping list so we buy only what we need.
HelloFresh does this for you, packs your box and delivers it to your door.
The promise is easy, fresh, quick dinners to cook from scratch.
So when I was offered to try a 3 meal box I was super excited.
It was such an excitement when the box was delivered and the kids helped unpack.
Our first meal was braised cabbage and beetroot served with pork.
Very tasty, easy to cook and great fresh ingredients.
Also the amounts provided for all the dishes were very generous, leaving plenty of leftovers for work lunch the next day.
The quality of the ingredients were very good, and it was so convenient having the exact quantity required.
The recipes are very clear to follow and its great to have the nutritional information.
Mushrooms are a favourite in our house so this one went down a treat but my daughter did say my gnocchi was better (lucky! - good to know homemade gnocchi is worth the effort).
The third recipe we cooked, a fish tagine, was my favourite.
How awesome is this chermoula you make with loads of herbs, garlic and spices.
The fish is marinated and the vegetables cooked with a rich sauce, it all comes together at the end so the fish is cooked just right.
I would really love to be able to order a box on those weekends when we are away and don't make it to the markets, would be fabulous to have a box arrive on your doorstep on the monday evening.
It would really suit couples or families that work full time.
The meals are quick and easy to make, and taste great.
It is not crazy expensive and you eat such an awesome variety of fresh food.
Check out the current weeks menu, bet it sounds delicious.
The meals are really interesting - such variety. I'm impressed (though glad to hear your gnocchi is better than these guys - nice call E).
ReplyDeleteit was longlife packet gnocchi, actually tasted better then i expected.
DeleteThese look like great ideas for when you don't have time to cook!
ReplyDeleteIt sure sounds like a good idea, I wonder how they go with food InTolerances and such issues? The tagine looks lovely- yummo!
ReplyDeletethey don't offer boxes for such issues, i don't think.
DeleteAw, so lovely that your daughter prefers your gnocchi!
ReplyDeleteDitto the last two comments: they should think about implementing special diet menus and your daughter is the best!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting review! And I'd imagine there's no wastage there too :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome review! I don't think I'm ever going to be that organise to plan my menu ahead! We always are so last minute!
ReplyDeleteI love the selection of meals! I don't know which one to choose!
ReplyDeleteHey, food really does look amazingly fresh and delicious I'm really tempted to order a box to try now because I often find I don't have the time to do my shopping. Will hop on to the website now, thanks! =D
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the beautiful fresh produce that they provide! I think I need to look into this..!
ReplyDeleteInteresting review... they contacted me too, but I am not sure.
ReplyDeleteSounds really convenient!! Did you get to choose which meals you got to try? Because it looks like a really good selection :D The fish tagine looks amazingly tasty!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe ingredients do look nice and fresh! One of my friends is trying this at the moment.
ReplyDeleteSuch a convenient way of getting dinner together. I often over buy ingredients for meals and end up with too much wastage... and my meal planning looks a bit sorry at times so this looks like a great problem solver!
