I cooked our second of this month's three #Gousto meal kits.
Sicilian Meatballs with cheesy potatoes.
Again, very filling. Excellent flavour. Cooking was a bit of a challenge (for me).
I'm deducting one point because I hate touching raw meat🤮, so it gets 9/10 from me. -

I've cooked and eaten the #gousto Basa à la Menuèire. The fish was fried in a simple coating with a lemon, parsley & caper sauce; there was a potato & spinach mash to accompany it.
It was easy to prepare, and very filling.
While I was cooking it, I was thinking it would be dreadful - the mash looked unappealing.
But, it was actually pretty good, not outstanding, but good.
I'm giving it 6/10 and Sacha says 7.5/10 -

CW: Description of food
I've cooked my final #Gousto meal for this month.
A Mongolian - style lamb stir fry with garlic rice.
I'd give it a generous 7/10 - slightly confused instructions, plus, it was more cooking than I'm comfortable with. I'm not a great fan of lamb in general though.
But, it was tasty and very filling. -

I've just cooked and eaten our second #Gousto meal from this month's delivery.
A splendid and very filling Moroccan style chicken stew with couscous.
Very easy to prepare.
The only waste was the packaging (as usual). -

Like @Erased_Citizen I woke up confused about what day it is, or might be. My computer thingy says it's definitely Saturday. The computer never lies (or so they used to say).
My tiny brain is struggling with a bit of normal functioning at the moment, particularly remembering things that have happened recently. I'm going to try writing stuff down for a bit.
Yesterday's gardening left me with seriously painful arthritic thumb joints that aren't completely clear this morning. That's old age!
Our monthly #Gousto recipe box came yesterday. I cooked a really good Hunter's Chicken with sweet potato mash. It had spring greens with it - something we'd not normally eat - they're ok but I took them out too soon and they weren't as hot as intended.
Today I'm hoping to get to the Petanque club, but the weather forecast isn't great, and I've heard a suggestion that there's another competition on at our club but I can't find anything online.
Enjoy your day whatever day it is.

I've cooked and eaten our second Gousto meal kit.
Meatballs in onion gravy with mashed potatoes and crispy kale.
Far too much faffing about for me.
It went down ok, and there was plenty of it.
Apart from the packaging the only other waste was some of the kale that I couldn't get in the air fryer.
I'd give this one 5/10 -

I've cooked and eaten a splendid chicken risotto meal kit from Friday's Gousto delivery.
More 'cooking' than I'm used to but the instructions were clear and there was no waste other than the packaging.
It took a bit longer to prepare & cook than the instructions suggested.
It's been well received by Sacha, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and quite enjoyed making it.

CW: Meal Kit Review - food mentions
Inspired by our daughter giving us her unwanted Grubby meal kits, I ordered a couple of Gousto meal kits for ourselves.
They've just been delivered.
The delivery by DPD was bang on schedule, the box was undamaged. The contents were in great condition with the cold pack still frozen solid. The ingredients seem to be good quality.
I chose two meals - a chicken risotto, and a meatball meal with mash & onion gravy.
The recipes look straightforward, if not exactly child's play.These weren't cheap at £7 per person before the Introductory discount - but I think it's a price we might be willing to pay for the variety of meals we'll get and for meals that I can prepare (as opposed to my wife who's increasingly finding meal prep a major thing with her disabilities).
We'll see how they turn out.

Love to get an email from #Gousto, 3 days after my box arrives, to say an ingredient I've already eaten is "not be safe for consumption" 😶

I started using Gousto a couple of years ago and I enjoy my time in the kitchen cooking up the recipes provided.
The fresh ingredients are always good quality and the step-by-step instructions are ideal for me.
I have to admit it’s a lazy way to cook - and might be cheaper to buy the ingredients separately; but that’s the whole point. I wouldn’t do that.
I like the convenience.
It’s highly flexible too; it’s easy to stop and start as necessary, depending on circumstances.
Fancy trying it?

My 30 second #Gousto review. Lots of tasty, easy to cook recipes. Quality of fresh ingredients variable, we've had to replace some. Squeezing all your other ingredients out of tiny plastic packets feels like the end of civilisation.

OK. Prepare yourself. It doesn’t quite look like the original picture!! 😂
But, and this is the important bit, it tastes great and it all got eaten.
To my mind, that’s a success.There’s another Gousto meal tomorrow...

Tonight I’m attempting Plant-Based Creamy Leek & Mushroom Pie.
Not sure it will look like this though !!

This delicious fish stew was the result of my efforts this evening.
Fun fact: When you've slightly zested your thumb and the recipe calls for you to juice a lemon, shit gets real pretty fast.

Right, headphones on, let's get cooking!
