I tried it myself. The advantage is that you get to cook something that is different than the "usual" household ingredients (at least for me, it was anyways). The recipes are accurate and surprisingly tasty too. It is good when yourself + spouse works longer hours and don't have time to research different type of food to put on the table.

However, the portions are a small and packaging is wasteful. The recipe preparation time is for someone who's made the dish before and therefore not accurate.

After trying it once, you can just re-use the recipe and get everything from the supermarket yourself at a fraction of the cost/packaging waste.

IMO, they are selling a take-home cooking class. I would still consider ordering from them again when we get bored of the food we make at home.

Aside from the price being high without the discount I haven't really heard any negative reviews about their food itself which makes this business a fast pace growing business model.

It's just personal grocery shopping or modified grocery gateway, groceries delivered to your door, and they think of what you should cook. And it leaves such a huge carbon footprint - all the packaging for small amount of grocery and delivery.
Hmmm... I think the biggest value is they think of what you should cook. Honestly, I don't think I'd pay to get groceries delivered but I'll pay if someone can provide suggestions put them together to make a dish. I agree with the wastefulness though -- they put one clove of garlic in it's own tiny ziplock bag :facepalm:

The portions are small, but will be a bit more filling if you use all the butter/cream/mayo they provide with the meals.

I usually prepare extra portion of vegetables in addition to the delivered portion.

The wife cooked the flat iron steak with polenta and collard greens and it was really good! The portion size is actually not that bad. Probably going to refer her to get 2 more meals for next week!

If you don't live in the GTA, does Chef's Plate use FedEx/UPS overnight or something to ship your order?

At this price it's a no brainer, and as others have mentioned, you can start and pause at anytime.

Having said that, I won't be using them again. The food was actually very tasty, except that my chicken arrived "off". I realize this sort of thing can happen, but I emailed the company to let them know, and I have received ZERO response. Not impressed with their customer service.
Just a follow up to my above post. Just logged into my Chef's Plate account and noticed an extra 2 free meals to compensate for the problems I had. Good to see that they guarantee their food. Will give them another shot.

They use their own personal drivers, they don't use 3rd party companies. The box comes insulated with gel packs but they are packed in such a way they need need to be upright. If they used Fedex the box might comes mangled and that is just a nightmare.

I got the 4 free meals thanks to another RFD'er and one of them was the flat iron steak. I didn't care much for it. Quality ingredients, just wasn't my kind of thing I guess. The portion size was good though. I would never pay for this service, at least not full price. I may refer some friends and get a few more free meals, but then I'm going to cancel. Most of the meals I've seen just aren't all that appealing to me. I guess my tastes are much more basic.

...I'm set up for a Tuesday delivery of the Maple/Mustard Pork Chop and Tilipia Piccata meals for next week (on the $6 meal plan).

I try and eat a mostly gluten/grain/potato-free, so this has been one of this first weeks that I've been able to order something (two meals) and not end up with a side dish that's going to be wasted.

Thanks op! Never heard of Chefs Plate until reading your post. Didn't want to p off the mods so I googled a referral code and now have the 4 free meals on my account. @ $3 for a fresh meal , hopefully we'll be licking our plates clean lol

Didn't like this weeks menu, so pass this week for us.

Also read on the site that the products stay fresh in fridge for a few days. One can potentially order on delivery day and cook at another time that is more suitable to ones needs.

Thanks again!

Thanks, I figured as much.

If you're in the GTA, sure I could see them personally delivering. But no way they would be able to service all of Ontario and personally deliver the orders themselves. They aren't THAT big, heh.

Guess my first order will be coming via FedEx next week!

Good point. I'm just wondering if the food they provide is better (ie: healthier, organic, etc..) compared to what's on the supermarket shelves ?
