A leaflet came through the door today and it looked quite appealing. The concept seems to be Cook meets Abel & Cole (the leaflet could have been mistaken for either) - you choose one of their recipes online, then they deliver a box of all the ingredients you need to make it (organic, of course). They claim the cost is on a par with supermarket ready meals. Has anyone tried it? I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences.

I ordered via an offer with KGB deals. It was fab - everything was fresh and they provided every ingredient down to 3 garlic cloves. It was also exciting opening the box - like a big present. The recipe instruction cards are clear so you can't go wrong and can keep to replicate the meals. They are a little expensive to order normally but I would definitely order again if the offer reappears!
Sounds similar to Hello Fresh, which I've used in the past when I had a week at home alone. All ingredients and recipe cards included, ingredients were fresh and meals easy to put together. Not expensive for what it is, and I had a voucher code which cut the price by 50%.
We tried them awhile back and really enjoyed trying recipes that didnt normally cook and helped with cooking too much food as it is all portioned. Their recipe for the butter beans side that came with their pork loin recipe I do a few times a month with various fish and meat dishes. Found gousto much better than the Able and Cole recipes they recently started doing and like the fact you have a couple of choices to pick from each week.

    • Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!
    • These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January. 
    • Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
