Cooking skills
We assume you know the basics of cooking, that is how to cut and sauté vegetables and boil rice. You will also need the basic cooking tools at home, as pots and pans, a grater, and a colander.
Preparation
We send you enough ingredients per recipe to serve 4-5 people (4 adult portions). However, feel free to choose the appropriate amount of pasta, rice and potatoes for your family’s appetite. The spice measurements are also approximate, so make sure to taste and season according to your family’s liking. Also make sure you keep your groceries in a place where they stay fresh. Depending on the order in which you choose to cook the recipes, it would be recommended to freeze meats, fish and chicken that will be used much later in the week.
In your pantry
In each delivery you will find most ingredients you need for the week’s meals, but we assume you to have certain basic ingredients at home. If we were to deliver every single item we would soon build up an unnecessarily large stock of supplies like spices, olive oil etc. Don’t worry if you don’t have the exact list at home, you can always skip or choose a different spice then is recommended.
