Blue Apron's recipes are very unique and have a lot of ethnic flavor profiles and spices and things like that but they have all been great, again, if you want to have fun and try new things. I will say this though, if you are picky picky and not open minded about trying new recipes, I don't know if you should sign up. You can also go online and see many weeks out and change any of those too. You can change your recipes up to a few days ahead, which might be convenient if you are worried about what you are getting. That email also tells you what's coming for the next week. Anyway, we get our box on Tuesdays and on Monday I receive an email saying my box is on its way and what recipes are in it. If you have a lot of special food needs, I don't think a meal service is for you. I wouldn't go crazy opting out of stuff you can imagine that takes away so many options for delicious recipes. when you first sign up you can make choices about things you don't want. I have never had anything spoiled or overheated in our box there are "ice packets" in it. You do not know what time the box will arrive, just which day, and you pick which day you want it.
In my experience with other meal delivery services (Plated, for example), the recipe cards have helpful tips that instruct you how to do every single step, no matter how small.
You're told to do multiple tasks at once-which is hard even for more experienced home cooks, and there's a lot of assumption that you know how to chop vegetables properly, know how to add the right spices, and multi-task. But, as I said above, for those who have never, or rarely made full meals, the recipe cards can be hard to follow. You pay upwards of $50 for two meals a week (and that's just dinner), so you'll need to go grocery shopping anyway, and by the time you've bought everything you need, Blue Apron's price doesn't seem very budget friendly.įor the most part, the recipes led you in the right direction. Once I added more salt or pepper or chili flake (you get the point), the food was a little better, but still fairly bland.įor the cost of Blue Apron, I don't feel that the food quality is necessarily worth it. That's likely due to the fact that most of their food simply didn't call for enough spice. The food was always fresh when it arrived and could last a few days in the fridge, or, if you need to wait longer to make certain meals, the food was fine being frozen.īlue Apron's food never tasted bad, but it didn't taste high quality either. Overall, using Blue Apron wasn't the best experience, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I enjoy cooking and Blue Apron's fast and easy to cook meals were a little too simple.
