For me, the quality of the recipes was poor. It was the kind of stuff I’d make when i’d just moved out from home and was learning to cook for the first time. Boring. Simplistic.
There’s also way too much trash. There’s a big cardboard box, a few ice packs, and a mound of pre-portioned ingredients each in little plastic bags. They cheerfully say you can keep the ice packs and reuse them! How many fucking ice packs can one person use?? Anybody can use a couple of ice packs. No one alive needs 2 new ice packs a week.
If you aren’t a confident cook and/or you need some inspiration for new things to make, it’s totally worth it for a few weeks or months. After that, though, I think most people will outgrow it.
I tried them for a few months and cancelled.
