I'm thinking I may need one of those food delivery cook at home services for about a month. Has anyone tried one of these? Any recommendations?

We do Every Plate. I really enjoy it and appreciate it for a variety of reasons. Here are some thoughts/comments:

• Our box is delivered on Friday afternoons. It's kind of fun to be exposed to new menus over the weekend. Makes grocery shopping a little easier because there are fewer meals to plan/shop for.
• During full-on Covid, it was nice to be able to count on the full set of ingredients. When doing my own recipes, we'd buy the needed ingredients, but occasionally some items simply weren't in stock, so the ingredients that we had already bought, e.g. produce, weren't really put to good use.
• The directions are decent but the layout of the directions is a little deceiving...prep is not as fast as they make it seem. Probably I need to improve my knife skills. I usually start with adult beverages around 5:00 PM on Fridays and we eat around 7:00.
• Every Plate is somehow part of Hello Fresh. I've heard that Hello Fresh is a tad more expensive because Hello Fresh has done a little more food prep, e.g. produce chopping.
• I WFH so most of the time I'm able to get the box as soon as it's delivered. I've never heard of porch pirates grabbing a food box, but I suppose it could happen.
• The ice packs are always nice and cold (frozen) for the food that needs to stay cold. Even the boxes, ice-packs, and insulation are nice and can be re-used for various purposes.
• We've done Every Plate for ~ 2 years, I think. Only twice was the box delayed to Saturday.
• It's nice to be able to customize the menu, e.g. 2 meals for 4 people each or 4 meals for 2 people each.
• For the menus that we like, we keep the menu card and annotate with ingredient quantity info so that we can make it ourselves (and scale it up/down as needed).

Thank you Caesar4 !

This gets good reviews online too.

I've tried 4-5 of these over the years, and Hello Fresh is definitely my favorite. Haven't ever had a bad meal

I've done blue apron, hello fresh, every plate and gobble. I prefer gobble, most things are pre cut/chopped or proportioned and they're way easier to throw together. Taste wise they were all comparable. I quit all of them because inevitably there would be some damage to the proteins (busted/leaking package). They'll usually credit you or refund you but I got tired of doing that.

Thanks for the replies!
