Simply cook is a company that deliver uniquely blended ingredients that You won’t find in the supermarkets!) and recipe cards straight to your door. You get 4 recipe kits for 2 – 4 people. (Note: Fresh ingredients are not included, just the recipe, seasoning, oil etc.)

Their boxes are designed to fit through most standard letterboxes so you do not have to be home to take receipt of your order.

You are in control, you can order how often you like, starting at every week and up to every 6 weeks.  As they only supply the dry ingredients, I only subscribe on a 6-weekly basis, when I fancy something original.

As the ingredients are uniquely blended it does mean if you ever want to make the meal again, you would have to buy the ingredient pot again (the only bad point).

You can change, pause or cancel your subscription at any time online. You either log into your account and cancel or email Simply Cook. No commitment and hassle-free.

I bought my first box and as I did not know what to expect I went for the x-small box. I was amazed at what I got for 99p (£10 off my 1st order). I got: 3 large, beetroots, 4 satsumas, a punnet of grapes, 2 avocados, 1 ear of corn and 2 large baking potatoes! You could not get 1 of those items for 99p at a supermarket.
