The following recipes were provided to me in mailers from new-fangled “meal-delivery” services. I set out to see whether the somewhat experienced shopper/home cook could replicate the execution of these recipes. Knowing full well I wouldn’t be as ambitious with meal planning to tackle these recipes in quick succession during a given week, I wanted to see whether I could come anywhere close to matching the ability of these companies’ economies of scale to achieve varied dinners for my exacting wife near or below the cost of these services, which advertise costs per meal at $10.00, meaning $20.00 for two people. I picked up some valuable other insights along the way. Read all (or none) of them. One things for sure, for folks who hate grocery shopping and crave high-quality meals and variety, these services deliver (literally). That was a bad joke. I will make more of those. I guarantee that.
