Recipieces

I received an email last week from Teresa, one of the partners of Recipieces, asking me if I would like try a Ready-​to-​Cook Gourmet Meal Kit (for two).
Yes!
There were quite a few meals to choose from (ahi tuna, steak, chicken, pork tenderloin, crab cakes, lamb chops, crêpe gratin, etc.) along with side dishes (snap peas, mashed potatoes, spaghettini, grilled carrots, flatbread with goat cheese, gnocchi, salads, rice, etc.).
Teresa delivered my box Tuesday evening. I ordered NY Strip Steak with Green Peppercorn Cream Sauce and Mashed Potatoes with Nutmeg and Chives.
I weighed the box as it was heavy … it was 7 pounds! I made it for supper last night.
The recipes and some goodies were at the top of the box … mints, seeds for tomato plants and seed paper
A cold pack and insulation kept everything cold ’til I put it in the fridge. Everything was measured and labeled in order of use. The recipes had pictures that clearly showed what to do
Here are the ingredients and recipe for the NY Strip Steak with Green Peppercorn Cream Sauce … AAA New York steak, beef broth, olive oil, butter, shallots, white wine vinegar, pear juice, whipping cream and green peppercorns in brine.
Here are the ingredients and recipe for the Mashed Potatoes with Nutmeg and Chives … Yukon Gold potatoes, sea salt, half & half, butter, nutmeg and chives.
It took about an hour to make it. My peppercorn sauce didn’t look quite like the one in the picture but it was good nonetheless. So good, in fact, that there was some leftover and we are going to use it with something else for supper tomorrow. I love love love mashed potatoes and these were delicious.
Who is this service good for? Someone who loves to cook but is too busy to shop or hates shopping. Recipieces makes it easy to create gourmet meals by providing all the ingredients AND measuring them out.

This is a fantastic service! High-​end restaurant quality food at home without the shopping or measuring. All that was left was the fun part — throwing it all together and eating. I had the tuna steak and mango salad, both had wonderful flavors and were easy to prepare. The wine delivery is a nice touch too, without too much of a mark-​up. I would recommend this service to anyone who loves good food and treating someone to a delicious meal in your own home — even if it’s just you.
