Are these really a time saver for busy women? Should you start using them? Who are they best for – singles? Couples? Or families? Having used a few of these now, I set out to investigate …
According to Wikipedia, a meal kit or meal delivery service refers to “a subscription service that sends customers pre-portioned and sometimes partially-prepared ingredients and recipes to prepare homecooked meals."
Sounds like a dream come true with no more of the horrible question “What am I going to cook for dinner?”.
Leading companies such as Hello Fresh and Marley Spoon dominate the market in Australia. But there are heaps of others that offer a home delivered freedom from the nightly chore of deciding what to cook and where to shop for the ingredients.
The ones I’ve tried have been Hello Fresh, The Chef’s Palate and The Cook’s Grocer (when it was at Rozelle). Here’s what I’ve found out having experienced them.
These can be a great time saver, especially when you’re tired or busy working as well as studying, or out a lot. They also mean your family is getting a healthy dinner meal. Mostly they’re a good choice and make a healthier choice than frozen dinners or greasy take-aways.
