Service: Blue Apron
Price: $59.99 for three meals serving two people each
Overall Impression: Great for busy weeknight meals and to shake up your cooking routine.
The kit contained all the ingredients needed to cook three meals, each feeding 2 people, complete with recipes with step-by-step photos. Blue Apron also offers plans to feed 4 and 6 people, as well as a choice between the meat and fish or vegetarian meal plans. Delivery times range daily from 8am to 8pm and 6pm to 8pm, which suited my work schedule the best.
Blue Apron sent me a email telling me what my meals would consist of. My week’s dishes included Chicken and Mixed Mushroom Forager, 5- Spice Pork Buns, Asparagus & Spring Onion Tart
My meals came neatly packaged in a cardboard box lined with ice packs to keep the contents fresh for a few hours. I arrived home at 4pm to find my box had already been delivered, but the ice packs kept everything cool. Because Blue Apron includes literally everything needed, making dinner is almost as easy as ordering it in, without the guilt. I liked being able to preview the menu first to make sure I’d actually want to cook the dishes on it, and to know what I was going to cook for dinner a few days later, a rare occurrence for my usual spur of the moment cooking schedule.
The step-by-step color photos included with the recipes showed major steps in the process and each started with instructions to prep all the ingredients before cooking.
Blue Apron Meal Delivery, $59.99 for 3 meals for 2 people at Blue Apron (other plans available, all at $9.99 per person, per meal)
