I've cooked and eaten our second Gousto meal kit.
Meatballs in onion gravy with mashed potatoes and crispy kale.
Far too much faffing about for me.
It went down ok, and there was plenty of it.
Apart from the packaging the only other waste was some of the kale that I couldn't get in the air fryer.
I'd give this one 5/10

I've cooked and eaten a splendid chicken risotto meal kit from Friday's Gousto delivery.

More 'cooking' than I'm used to but the instructions were clear and there was no waste other than the packaging.

It took a bit longer to prepare & cook than the instructions suggested.

It's been well received by Sacha, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and quite enjoyed making it.

Inspired by our daughter giving us her unwanted Grubby meal kits, I ordered a couple of Gousto meal kits for ourselves.

They've just been delivered.

The delivery by DPD was bang on schedule, the box was undamaged. The contents were in great condition with the cold pack still frozen solid. The ingredients seem to be good quality.

I chose two meals - a chicken risotto, and a meatball meal with mash & onion gravy.
The recipes look straightforward, if not exactly child's play.

These weren't cheap at £7 per person before the Introductory discount - but I think it's a price we might be willing to pay for the variety of meals we'll get and for meals that I can prepare (as opposed to my wife who's increasingly finding meal prep a major thing with her disabilities).

We'll see how they turn out.

I've cooked another one of our daughter's surplus vegetarian meal kits from Grubby.
Today it was a Katsu fried 'chicken' dish with chips. There was also chopped & marinated chilli & radish.
I found it a bit too hot for my delicate taste buds, but Sacha seems to have given it a big thumbs up.

It was perhaps the most complicated of the three I've cooked so far - but it was far from difficult.

I highly recommend EveryPlate for a subscription meal kit.

It's the least expensive option out there ($5/meal), there are some really good meals, and you can try your first box for free with no commitment (use the link below), so you can cancel after the free box if you don't like it.

I've been using it for a couple years now and I've found it cheaper than the grocery store, with all ingredients fresh and premeasured, so you don't have things going bad in the fridge.

You still have to (or get to) do the cooking, though. I also use it for portion control, to help prevent overeating.

I tried HungryRoot.com at a discount, and I got my first delivery this week. They offer mostly-prepped meal kits as well as groceries.

I've tried two meals so far and I am delighted by the quality of the ingredients and the variety in the recipes.

I have some food restrictions and they can accommodate any single one; stacking them narrows the field a lot more, but you can customize & do some substitutions. I'm tentatively pleased. 1/n
