Great concept falls short
We were really excited about trying new dishes. We loved the idea that ingredients we don’t normally have on hand would be included. We both love to cook, so preparing meals together was fun and rewarding. Ok However, very disappointed in the quality, which seems to be going downhill. Missing ingredients, poor quality ingredients all lead to disappointment. Example: peach provided for a peach mango salsa was hard as a rock. Luckily I had a nectarine we used. Another dish called for shallot. I didn’t get one, but had a leek. Not sure if the just ok result was a result of that. A lot of the meat- especially beef- was an odd cut- thick on one end, thin on the other- or one steak thick, one thin. Doesn’t cook evenly. There were other issues, none really resolved. Yes, I got a $2 credit for the rotten cucumber, but that didn’t help me that night. Yes, I got a $2 credit for the missing chili spice, but a jar cost me $5.69. Many of the recipes were absolutely delicious, but about 1/3 of the meals I paid for were impossible to prepare as per the instructions.
