    I enjoy the food and the recipes have a pretty good variety. They tout the fact that you can keep the recipes and make them again with ingredients you get the old fashioned way, but there’s always that one obscure ingredient (of which you only need a little) that makes it tricky. They expect you’ll have some ingredients on hand, like butter (lots of butter, actually…)

    And of course, with the preparation of dividing things out, extra packaging, shipping, etc… It does get expensive. That’s a large part of what held me back from getting it routinely. I also remember some pricing/customer service shenanigans that were annoying but can’t remember what.

    But when my daughter was in NICU long-term (doing well now!) a friend abroad got us a gift card or whatever to help us with meals. It was pretty nice for that unique time.
