I actually did all the prep work as instructed and it made the cooking of the dishes go seamlessly. One thing I loved about Blue Apron is that it encouraged me to be a more organized cook. I rarely follow recipes when I cook so I enjoyed not really having to think and just getting lost in chopping, sauteeing and following along with the pictures. The step-by-step directions make it really simple to successfully cook the meals.

Who really uses a whole carton of heavy cream when you buy it and how many jars of spices do you have in your pantry that you’ve barely touched?

I really love that they send this to you in such small amounts. Meals can be prepared in 40 minutes or less.Īlong with the ingredients you get a little paper bag of “knick knacks” that has any miscellaneous stuff you might need in small amounts to make the meal such as sauces, butter, spices, etc. The recipe card walks you through how to prep, cook and present your meal.

Everything was cold and fresh when I removed it from the packaging and I was pleased to find the chicken, fish and steak vacuum-sealed, which helps extend shelf-life.įor each meal you receive a recipe card with step-by-step instructions along with all the ingredients measured out in perfect amounts. Blue Apron sends you a selection of these meals based on your indicated dietary preferences.Įverything arrives in a box packed with coolers and ice packs on your set delivery date. You can choose between two- or four-person serving sizes and you receive just the right amount of ingredients to make the recipes.Įach week, Blue Apron features six “what we’re cooking” recipes for two-person plans and four recipes for four-person plans.
