Food box meal reviews

Next weeks is heading in the same direction after they deduct the missing items and the meal credit they’ve given me for the delay - is this usual? At this rate I can’t see how they make any money? They’ll be paying me to eat if this continues any longer!

We have been on:off using gusto since last October and the only thing I’ve ever had missing was an onion. Think you have been unlucky. But they are probably at lot busier right now with lockdown.

I've been trying out the Pasta Evangelists box over the past couple of weeks as they have/had a 30% off your first order offer.

So far I've had:

Orecchiette with Broccoli & Chilli Sauce
Pumpkin & Sage Triangoli with Wild Rocket Sauce
Orecchiette with Sicily's Pistachio Pesto
Vegan Ragù Lasagne "alla Bolognese"

Everything has been delicious! But it's a bit too pricy for me to do on a regular basis as it's around £7 a portion full price. I'll probably get them every so often for special occasions.

Gousto and went for these:

I will of course update once we’ve sampled. I’m looking forward to trying something different.

Please can I ask for some advice -

We’ve just made Goustos no chicken butter chicken vegetarian recipe, which was delicious, but we have quite a bit left over that I was going to offer to my neighbour to either freeze or reheat.

But I don’t really understand these things and I don’t want to poison anyone! Is it ok to reheat/freeze and reheat these sort of things?

There's nothing there that hasn't been defrosted so I would assume it would be safe to freeze.

Just had steak taco salad and it was so good. I don't normally get the steak as you have to pay extra for it and I'm tight but it's DH birthday today and ad we couldn't go out I thought I would treat him. The steak was delicious.

Thank you Anne, 👍 would you just tell them to thoroughly reheat in a pan, oven or in the microwave? (Not sure they’ve got a microwave)

Ooh, not sure as it's a meat substitute. I tend to use oven or pan for reheating. Wonder if anyone else would know.

Ooh, will remember that as I also never pay extra.

Got my first box coming tomorrow, which I’m looking forward to. However, I’m struggling to choose four meals for next week, there’s not much that takes our fancy!
