FreshCooking

What's in the box: Pre-portioned fresh ingredients and a step-by-step recipe for each chosen dinner, with optional soup and dessert add-ons.

FreshCooking is a Polish meal kit service that sends pre-measured ingredients and step-by-step recipes so you can cook dinner yourself. The company makes a point of saying it is not a boxed diet catering service, so nothing arrives ready to reheat. You pick from 1 to 5 dinner dishes. Each dish makes two portions, and two portions is the minimum order. You can scale up to 4, 6, 8 or 10 people, and the site asks larger groups to phone in. Besides main courses, the menu has a soup of about five portions and a dessert of roughly 1000 g, such as a banana split cake. Orders close at 13:30 and arrive overnight from Friday to Saturday. That timing suits weekend cooking, but it means only one delivery slot a week. The company says a dish will not come back for three months and that ingredient amounts match each recipe, so you don't end up buying full packs you won't finish. First-time customers can use the code DlaCiebie for 10% off. One caution: the dishes on the menu show cook-by dates from 2022, and the site doesn't make clear how often the range changes now. Check what is actually available before you order. The site is in Polish and the service is aimed at households in Poland.
