![]() ![]() ![]() Within less than a week, I received my first box. I chose the Meat & Veggies plan for two people with five recipes.Īfter registering your address, a delivery date is automatically populated with a delivery time between 8 a.m. After selecting food preferences, you then have the option to choose a plan for two to four people, with two to six recipes per week. When selecting a plan, HelloFresh offers the following preferences: Meat & Veggies, Veggie, Family Friendly, Fit & Wholesome, Quick & Easy, and Pescatarian. How Does It Work?Įach week, HelloFresh subscribers can choose from more than 60 recipes, which are posted on its website under “Our Menus.” Both subscribers and non-subscribers can view the recipes. The company is part of the namesake HelloFresh Group, which includes other popular meal delivery services such as Green Chef, Factor, and EveryPlate. The fact that you get everything you need - from herbs and spices to sauce that you'd otherwise need to buy full jars of - delivered direct to your door without the need to do an expensive food shop, makes it great value for money.Founded in 2011, HelloFresh is a Berlin-based company that provides its subscribers with meal kits complete with ingredients, seasonings, and handy recipe cards with instructions on how to cook each meal. If you’re a single person, the two person meal kits would be life-changing, as you can have one portion for dinner and the left-overs for lunch. Is HelloFresh really worth it?įor someone like me who loves cooking but needs a bit of a helping hand when it comes to stepping out of their kitchen comfort zone, HelloFresh is great. Nothing was spoiled - and wouldn't be even on a hot day. The team left my box in a specified safe place, and everything is packed with several ice packs which keeps the ingredients well chilled. I was a little worried about my HelloFresh box being delivered when I was out at the office, but I needn't have been. What happens if I'm not at home when my HelloFresh box gets delivered? You can choose from a variety of healthy options, and the portion sizes are good. They're particularly healthy if you're currently relying on ready meals or processed food to help you get through the week. I'd safely declare HelloFresh a healthy dinner choice, with most meals well balanced and containing all the carbs, (tonnes of) fresh veg, protein and fats that you need. Bombay Style Lamb Curry with Potatoes and Green Beans.Spicy Beef Stir-Fry with Noodles, Green Pepper and Peanuts.Mushroom & Bacon Risotto with Mangetout and Leek.Sticky Mango Chicken Wraps with Spiced Red Pepper and Potato Wedges.Veggie Tostadas with Roasted Peppers and Zesty Crema.Indian-Style Chickpea & Pistachio Burger with Turmeric Wedges and Rocket.Duck A L'Orange with Parsley Mash and Roasted Carrots.Rigatoni Caprese with Pine Nuts, Mozzarella and Balsamic Tomato Salsa.Serrano Ham, Parsley & Butternut Linguine with Crème Fraîche.Thai-Style Beef with Peppers, Mangetout and Fluffy Rice.Herby Chicken with Red Onion Mash and Garlicky Green Beans.HelloFresh has definitely encouraged me to be more creative with my cooking. In fact, I've already recreated the risotto by adding some additional ingredients that needed using up in my fridge. I've also kept the recipe cards so that I can recreate the meals in future - with or without HelloFresh. And although everything was pre-portioned to save time (and waste), I still felt like I’d cooked from scratch and had that feeling of great pride at the end. I was adamant that I wanted recipes which didn’t take too long, because despite the absence of a commute right now, I still seem to be super busy. A very minute detail, but worth mentioning nonetheless. My only gripe? Unlike Gousto, which comes with cardboard recipe cards that can be stored in a small red folder, the HelloFresh recipe cards are paper and a little more prone to getting wet and ripped in a busy kitchen. ![]() The ingredients for each recipe came in numbered, recyclable paper bags which were easy to store, and every recipe was clearly presented on a recipe card. My box contained fresh, pre-portioned ingredients for every recipe I had chosen. I love that they deliver seven days a week, because I was able to receive my box just in time for the week ahead to get that organisation in check. My box was delivered directly to my door on a Sunday afternoon. For that reason, the chorizo and sweetcorn risotto (nope, I’ve genuinely never cooked a risotto in my life), Thai-style beef and Serrano ham, parsley and butternut linguine took my fancy. As mentioned, I had been looking to try new and exciting recipes that I’d never cooked before. ![]()
