My own experience             

As it was little early for Christmas dinner, I opted for a classic box for three. I was given a time when the delivery would arrive and was kept informed by email, so far so good.

When the box arrived, the first thing I noticed was the attention to packaging, everything is recycled, every ingredient is measured for the number of people and the recipe sheets are extremely precise. They even tell you how many of your five a day there is in each dish.

My box was representative of typical meals on offer: Sausage Chilli with Homemade Tortilla Chips, Beef Kofta Curry with Sag Aloo, Creamy Linguine with King Prawns and Serrano Ham.

Verdict on the Beef Kofta Curry with Sag Aloo- 45 minutes - 1.5 of your 5 a day the step- 

Remember all the ingredients are measure out for you. The amount of ingredients was generous and though it ended up being a very westernised curry it was nevertheless rather good. It was nice to have a curry with a side dish which wasn't rice.

The quality of the ingredients was excellent. The meat seemed fresher than in the supermarket and as far as I could see all the ingredients originated from the UK. HelloFresh promises organic and seasonal ingredients.

It would take me a little while to get use to such a regimented way a cooking and I struggled with the step by step, I made a few annoying mistakes but looking at the instructions again, it is fool-proof.

And that is a good way to cook a Christmas dinner.
