I am collaborating with Hello Fresh, a fresh food delivery service where I get to pick the meals I want from the website or app, and the majority of ingredients are delivered to me to prepare and cook myself.

What I love

  • For my family, given my partner and I both work and have a little one, this does give us some extra meal options so that it’s not the same boring thing each week.
  • Delivery was between 7-9am and was on our door step – It was great to put the box inside before leaving work. If you can’t do that, there’s ice packs inside which keeps it cold all day.
  • You can ‘skip’ a week or multiple weeks – great if you know you’re going away or if you just need a pause.
  • Viewing the next week’s menu and seeing photos of the meals helps. It’s also rather fun to select meals.
  • It’s a good option if you still like to prepare and cook meals, but don’t have much time to shop in store or just need a refresh of dinner ideas.

What I don’t like as much

  • For our beef with caramelised onion sandos and sweet potato fries meal, the sweet potato was substituted with normal potato without any prior warning.
  • Some of the meats expire within a few days, so you really need to cook the meal within a couple of days or freeze it.

Tips

  • Check the cooking card – you will need staple items from your pantry. One recipe needed balsamic vinegar which we didn’t have any of!
  • I recommend starting with 3 meals a week and see how you go.
