| The Gluten Free Box from Simply Cook |
At the recent launch of the online gluten free review website Gluugle I met Karen (aka The Gluten Free Chef) from Simply Cook.
Following the event Karen sent me a sample box including four recipes and ingredients from their first ever Gluten Free Box.
The aim of the kits is to give restaurant quality food in 20 minutes, with you just needing to follow the recipe and add between 4-6 fresh ingredients.
The Gluten Free Box looks good and is well laid out in the smart packaging. The recipe cards and ingredients contained within allow you to make four interesting meals – Malay Laksa (a chicken and butternut squash dish), Pork and Chorizo Beans, Spiced Butternut Squash Risotto and Smoked Haddock Kedgeree.
The recipes are for two people – and we found there was plenty left-over for lunch the next day (or seconds).
Check out our photos of the four tasty meals below.
