While we have been here in Abu Dhabi we have tried meal boxes before, but they have never really been a complete success. Still, we have decided to try yet another type and so far, it seems to be a hit!
It is called Spring, and it is almost like cooking by numbers!
Twice a week, we get a cool box outside the door, with either 2 or 3 meals in each. Meals that we have picked out ourselves from their menu. I try to pick things that I would normally not cook myself, to try things and get some more recipes to add to my menu bank.
Each meal comes in a box with all the ingredients marked and ready to be cooked.
It really couldn't be easier, vegetables are washed and chopped, and all ingredients are measured and separated into vacuum sealed bags, each with a number that corresponds to a specific step in the recipe.
We have enjoyed all of the meals we have tried so far, some more than others sure, but they have all been tasty. Another thing I really like is the very little amount of wasted packaging. This has been a gripe of mine with other meal boxes, but here all the plastic is biodegradable, and the cardboard boxes by Spring. We just leave them in the cool boxes each time they gets picked up.
Sure, it is not cheap. But. Apart from all the things mentioned above, I also do enjoy that I can adapt our order week by week, depending on how many days we want, and for how many people. This service does help us, as we have ended up going down the 4pm "hm... what are we going to have for dinner today... let's go to Waitrose and get something"-route too many times. Which is also not cheap, at all.
So, we will continue to "Spring" for a bit yet!
