BLUE APRON
Leigh Gallagher loves good food and eating at restaurants. But it is very expensive to eat at restaurants every day. She doesn’t like ordering food home because she thinks it is usually unhealthy food and also it gets cold before she gets her food. Now she usually cooks food at home. She gets the recipes and even the ingredients from Blue Apron and she is very happy about it.
Blue Apron is a new company. It is only three years old. They send ready-to-cook dinner kits. The ingredients come to her door. Recipes and pictures are also in the pack.
Ready-to-cook dinner kits are the newest idea in online food delivery. People are usually too busy to go shopping. They say that they can’t decide what to cook. People don’t want to cook at home because of these reasons. They prefer dinner-kit companies. They are very easy and also cheap.
How does it work? Leigh orders meals online. Her order arrives on Thursday mornings. She eats Blue Apron food three times a week. Kits include fresh vegetables and fruits. Recipes change every week. She really enjoys this. It means she doesn’t have to eat the same meals each week. She gets recipes of food from around the world like Korean or Italian food. She learns a lot about different spices and ingredients. She also gets recipes of homemade hamburgers or spaghetti.
Leigh says all the ingredients are very fresh. She says they send the best meat and seafood. This is great because she eats healthy food that she cooks at home.
The kits make cooking at home easier. They also make cooking less wasteful and cheaper. All the ingredients are in the pack and they are all measured. Each Blue Apron meal is about $10. This is really cheap. It costs more than $20 dollars to order food home and about $40 to eat out at a restaurant. Leigh says Blue Apron is good for her health and also for her budget.
