Gousto review

 The box arrived nice and early and it almost felt like Christmas. It's a good strong box so we are thinking of sorting through some of the Christmas decs and keeping them in the box


Neatly packed

Beautiful fresh produce

This box was inside the carton with all the chilled things

Ice packs in recyclable paper bags

Even the plastic from the ice pack is recyclable

Last night we had the fish and chips and oh my goodness they were lovely.  I've never made tartar sauce before but I'll definitely do it again. To reduce the carbs a tiny bit I roasted some celeriac instead of making chips. It was nice to see Hellman's mayo included and not some cheap nasty brand. There was also a sachet of tomato sauce but we aren't keen on tomato sauce so it didn't get used.  I will stir it into a bolognese some time so it doesn't get wasted.

Great sized portion.  We had roasted celeriac
from my cupboard instead of chips to reduce the carbs a bit


And I finished the evening with a  Ginless tonic :-)

I am looking forward to trying today's meal and I'll tell you what I think tomorrow. Such a pity that they are all so high in carbs though as we would love the convenience of having a box every week.

  3. Thanks for your update on this one & although they sound good, I like seeing your own fresh veg appear for the meals you prepare. I need to get out and hoick out the old summer veg & weed, turn over & get them ready for some winter crops. I have a box fetish too.(giggle). Take care, stay safe & hugs.

    1. I am loving my own produce too but it's been fun trying things I would never have tried. The offers are really good and it's a great way to stay out of the supermarket and avoiding seeing all the tempting treats that add pounds to my food bill. If they offered some nice low carb choices I would definitely continue with the food box
