What's A Meal Kit?
Each week we offer four different meal kit options: Two Meat Meal Kit Recipes and Two Vegetarian Meal Kit Recipes.
Each meal kit recipe can feed a family of 4 (4 servings).
We aim to make preparing our meal kits easy by processing the produce (dicing, slicing, cubing etc.) and portioning spices, liquids and condiments needed for the recipes.
