We deliver Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for all customers, as well as Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Sunday in specific areas. Deliveries typically arrive between 8am-8pm.

No problem! We’ll drop the box at your door (or wherever you specify in your Delivery Instructions), so it’ll be waiting for you when you get home. No signatures necessary.

If you live in an area where a box could not easily be left, we suggest one of the following solutions:

• Provide the address of a helpful neighbor that will be home during the delivery window and can accept your package for you.
• Have the box delivered to your work place.
• Have the box delivered to a nearby business or restaurant that won't mind you picking up the box at a later time that day.

We have specially designed boxes with isolating wool, ice packs, and cooling material to ensure that everything arrives perfectly cold.

It’s free! You subscribe and delivery is on us!

Yes! Our recipes are created using ingredients that stay fresh long enough for you to enjoy them during the week of delivery. However, there are some ingredients that need to be used sooner rather than later (such as fish). In those cases, we suggest you prepare them at the beginning of the week.

Level 1 recipes are all about simplicity and familiarity. They involve little multi-tasking and may require only 1-2 pots and pans.
Example: Honey-and-Ginger-Glazed Chicken with Snap Peas and Jasmine Rice
Level 2 recipes involve a bit more multi-tasking and concentration. They encourage you to experiment with different ingredients and cooking techniques.
Example: Vietnamese-Marinated Steak with Herb Salad, Quick Pickled Veggies, and Jasmine Rice
Level 3 recipes take it up a notch with the most amount of multitasking and a wide variety of adventurous ingredients and cooking techniques that are still totally doable.
Example: Spring Asparagus and Shrimp Risotto with Meyer Lemon
