Picture this: It’s a Wednesday night and you’re staring into your fridge, preparing to make the same tired chicken-and-rice-with-vegetable dinner you’ve made on 300 other Wednesday nights. But it doesn’t have to be this way: It’s time to close the (cook)book on routine and rote dinner recipes and reignite your taste buds with creative dishes that sizzle (literally and figuratively). And no, that doesn’t mean restocking your pantry with expensive oils and obscure spices, or spending hundreds at the grocery store on produce and fancy little garnishes that’ll just end up wilting in the fridge.
Imagine being able to whip up tasty, homemade dishes — like a pub-style burger on a pretzel roll, crispy buffalo-style chicken salad, or everything-crusted mahi-mahi with a side of sautéed broccoli — without ever stepping foot in a Trader Joe’s to pick up ingredients. That’s what can happen when you sign up for Home Chef’s meal delivery services.
How does Home Chef work?
Think of the meal-kit delivery service as a culinary companion that promises to end cooking monotony and open doors to a whole new world of flavors and techniques. The company helps simplify cooking by delivering chef-designed recipes — and all the pre-portioned ingredients you’ll need to make them — directly to your doorstep. You get to choose how many meals you’d like per week, and choose the exact dishes you want, from a diverse menu that rotates weekly. You can also personalize your meal kits to suit the size of your family and your dietary needs: Home Chef serves up recipes that cater to vegetarian-, keto-, or family-friendly cooks.
One of the least appetizing parts of trying out a new recipe is wasting ingredients, like when you have to buy an entire tub of gorgonzola, but only need a quarter cup for that Cobb salad you’re chopping up. Home Chef takes the hassle off your hands, by meticulously portioning out the required ingredients for you ahead of time and sending over only exactly what you need.
Our favorite part of the process? Your meals aren’t filled with tons of preservatives. All the ingredients are fresh and ready to use as you follow along with Home Chef’s easy-to-follow recipe printouts. Plus, you can cancel or pause your orders at any time.
If you’ve never tried a meal-kit service, trust us when we say that they’re convenient, cost-effective, and take care of so much prep work. Because time spent ingredient-shopping, chopping, dicing, measuring, and scooping is time you could spend enjoying your meal (and time with your family) instead — on a Wednesday night, or any other one.
