Question 1

Do your recipes really take just 10 minutes to prep?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our recipes use pre-cut ingredients and seasoning blends whenever possible to reduce time.  If you’re new to the recipe or a bit rusty in the kitchen, it may take closer to 15 minutes the first time you make a dish.   Every recipe is rigorously tested for accurate prep and cook times, so it really shouldn’t take you more than 10 minutes once you’ve made the dish a couple times. Don't believe us?

Question 2

How many people do your dishes serve?

Accepted Answer

Most of our dishes serve 3 to 4 people. The "yield" listed on each recipe is the number of times a dish can feed your entire family.  That means "1 meal" will feed your entire family once, and "2 meals" is enough food to feed your entire family twice. If you're serving just 1 or 2 people, we recommend selecting leftovers so that you get access to more dishes.

Question 3

Are the ingredients you send full-sized or single serving?

Accepted Answer

All the ingredients we use are available from your local Whole Foods, which means you'll receive full-sized bottles of spices and seasonings.  We've designed our recipes to minimize food waste and reuse ingredients where it makes sense.   The prices we show are based on these full-sized items, so your future orders will be cheaper since you don't have to buy them again.

Question 4

Do I need a subscription?

Accepted Answer

No! You can order just the dishes you want, whenever you want them. There are no subscriptions or forced weekly ordering of meals. Just create a free account and order away.
