Get recipe boxes delivered to your door with everything you need measured out perfectly to knock up four tasty dishes.

Every week there are more than 20 different meals to choose from - catering for meat-eaters, vegetarians and fish fans - which are then assembled and sent out by courier. Each comes with an idiot-proof recipe card – and I say that because I’m hopeless in the kitchen.

But this week I mastered a half-decent sausage stew. I also ordered baked beef meatballs with tomato sauce and linguine, one-pot smoked fish, leek and sweetcorn chowder, and chicken and kale salad with a ranch-style dressing.

Every ingredient you need comes in its own little labelled packet so recipes are easy to follow and there’s no wastage either.

Each box costs from £34.99 for two people, or from £47.75 for four (some dishes have a supplement). But you get 30% off your first order and can cancel any time after that if subscription isn’t for you.
