Meal kits are a delivery service created to inspire and provide convenience to consumers with arrays of recipes to choose from. All ingredients are pre-proportioned (besides pantry staples i.e. oil, eggs etc) and delivered to your doorstep, ready to cook from the comfort of your home.

Meal kits were created to take the stress and time out of shopping for ingredients, sourcing a recipe, measuring portions and eliminating unnecessary waste. A meal kit takes care of all the dreaded steps often associated with cooking and leaves you to enjoy the fun parts of cooking – choosing recipes, how many meals you require and of course the cooking! 

When using a meal kits service, you will choose how many people you are feeding,  and then how many meals weekly you would like to receive. There are usually options to tailor to dietary preferences such as a vegetarian, or meat and vegetables, with further options such as vegan, low calorie or pescatarian available with some providers. You then choose the recipes you wish to cook for the week ahead. The meal kits are delivered straight to your door with all the pre-portioned ingredients and recipe instructions. It is worth noting typically pantry staples such as milk, eggs, oil aren’t included – however you will be instructed if there is anything additionally required that is not included in the meal kits.
