All in Meal Delivery Showdown
This is the fourth in a series of attempts I’m making to replicate meal delivery recipes on my own for anything approaching the same cost and perceived quality of those services. This is a recipe I would like to dissuade others from cooking, even if some box of ingredients shows up on your doorstep. Yes it’s delicious, but damn is it a ton of work! There is lots of technical knife work, tons of prep, and a quick, high-pressure cooking process. Steer clear of it and go buy your own bibimbap from like any Korean restaurant anywhere.
This is the third in a series of attempts I’m making to replicate meal delivery recipes on my own for anything approaching the same cost and perceived quality of those services. This one is as basic as it gets on the surface: chicken, potatoes, and greens. I categorize meals like this as “California Bistro Shit.”
This one is as basic as it gets on the surface: steak and potatoes. It’s seared sirloin steak plus mashed potatoes and some vegetables on the side. It’s a no-brainer weekday banger.
I have recently received a few recipes that 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. 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.
This is a great simple recipe that introduces the home cook to a number of key skills, including blanching, cooking pasta (God save you if you can’t boil pasta), and cooking shrimp. The prep and setup was easy for me, making this a legitimate weekday banger.
