Miguel Sanchez Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 28 minutes ago, Shandon Par said: We've been using this place recently: https://www.gousto.co.uk/ They have a selection of about 30 or so dishes each day for 2-4 folk. You order a few days ahead and they send the exact ingredients. Sounds lazy but it means you can make quite interesting stuff without any waste. Won't need anything more exotic that salt & pepper or olive oil as they send you everything else with a really easy menu/instruction card. Does it cost extra for them to send you enough food to fill the dish? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The portions are massive and I eat like a horse. Had a lentil cottage pie last night for 4 and it would probably have served 5 or 6 quite generously. They can fire in bottles of wine too.

Had a few things when Ive been "down from Scotland" (not a euph) and its decent fodder, despite being cooked by my stupid sister. Were going to London on Friday so no doubt she'll have another Gousto prepared. Allowing the sort of folk you would normally only trust with plastic cutlery the chance to make proper meals is definitely a strong point of gousto. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purposely made it last night for having tonight as it would hold its shape better and the flavours get more infused. The cut portions were reheated individually and served with chips and fresh salad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white sauce (plus cheese) and the Ragu soon release their moisture. A lasagna eaten the same day it's made just becomes slop....hence it's better to allow it to cool and reheat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-dee Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Not when it's reheated. The white sauce (plus cheese) and the Ragu soon release their moisture. A lasagna eaten the same day it's made just becomes slop....hence it's better to allow it to cool and reheat.plus the flavours need at least a day to come out fully. same as chilli and curry. pointless eating it the day its made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 plus the flavours need at least a day to come out fully. same as chilli and curry. pointless eating it the day its made. I’d say the same for home-made soup, second day soup is always better. Agree on the lasagne, curry & chilli too. Triple NOM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
