So delicious! I never ate quinoa before and now I’m glad I did. One of my favourites!

Double Smash Burger
I ordered it every week, it's not the best but you just always goona want to eat a burger sometimes, maybe can try to change or add the souce to mayo or something else

Blackened Shrimp and Cheddar-Pancetta Risotto
When I choose the plan I choose the option avoid pork but it has pork inside

Blackened Shrimp and Cheddar-Pancetta Risotto
This was such a treat - I’ve never had risotto before. I love the variety of dishes on this platform. I only wish there were more veggies. Would it also be a culinary crime to add quinoa?

Southern Fried Chicken Thigh
My all time favourite. Honey sauce is delicious. I order extra portions to freeze for later.

Southern Fried Chicken Thigh
The sauce isn't as good as is was, it's very watery now.
