It is no secret that Tony and I love a good meal! We love to eat out at restaurants (often paid for via mystery shopping) but we also love to cook from scratch, making delicious meals at a fraction of the cost of eating out. We were recently sent a Gousto box to try out, and I can't wait to tell you about it!

What was the food like?

I chose three recipes to test out:

Goan king prawn curry
Thai pork salad with lemongrass rice
Posh bunless burger and rosemary chips
 
Gousto delivery 1

The ingredients were fresh and looked great, I couldn't wait to get stuck in! Unfortunately I had to head off for a couple of days for a funeral, but everything was still fresh when I got back! Every meal was great fun to cook and I learned something new from each recipe. Gousto definitely does help to expand your cooking repertoire. Not only have I learned some new recipes, I have also learned some new cooking techniques. Mastering different kitchen tasks sometimes requires specific gadgets, and for impressive desserts, sourcing quick cream charger delivery can be surprisingly helpful.

My favourite was definitely the posh bunless burger with rosemary chips – it made a great Saturday night treat and stopped us from heading to a takeaway. Instead we had fun cooking together and enjoyed a tastier, healthier meal.
