Most of the negative reviews here are about delivery. Mine is actually just about the product. I can only imagine that this is aimed at people who have never shopped and never cooked, and seem to think there is something amazing about cooking average food using a recipe. We trialled Gousto having been very impressed with the quality and taste of the recipes from Simply Cook. Their simple additions to recipes elevate a home-cooked meal to restaurant quality with no extra time or experience needed. We thought that this would be the same, or maybe even better. The recipes are average at best, written in a disjointed and haphazard way that leaves things ready too early and left cold at the side (deliberately). There is a huge amount of packaging and plastic waste, and the short expiry dates mean you better get eating as soon as your package arrives. Also, I’m not sure how they decide what counts as “store cupboard” items - for instance, they give you a tiny pouch of dried chicken stock, but you have to provide your own flour... fine by me but seems disorganised and inconsistent. The most disappointing thing is how truly average the meals are. There is not one ingredient that seems premium or flavoursome to add a “wow” to your dish - it’s just plain old standard supermarket fare (for instance, generic “Italian hard cheese”) with some very expensive recipe cards thrown in.
