New Year, New Cooking with Gousto

Let's start 2017 off the right way with some delicious, healthy food! I'm a big fan of the Gousto meal boxes, and after a long day of work and commuting, the last thing anyone wants to think about is having to prepare a meal completely from scratch.

Gousto is here to help, with a whole host of meal ideas complete with itemised ingredients. Gousto takes the hassle out of preparing food for mealtime, with speedy recipes containing healthy, good for you ingredients.

Take the Creamy Butter Chicken with Herby Rice. From prep to plate, this dish took me about thirty minutes to make. In between I was able to do other tasks like sorting my mail and clearing out my inbox, all whilst not losing my attention on the delicious dish cooking away on the stove. (This was between recording the cooking process!)

The dish was extremely tasty and fully prepared using the fresh ingredients provided by Gousto. I felt like I had consumed a decent, hearty meal and didn't need to snack or have dessert once I had finished. This is always the danger when you eat food that is quick to prepare. Eating becomes just another task to cross off the to do list, and not a period of your day where you can sit down and actually switch off from the stresses and strains of everyday life. Our friends on the continent have their attitude to mealtimes completely on point.


I also tried the Fish with Dill Mayo and Crispy Potatoes from Gousto. This was also an easy recipe to replicate, and took about twenty minutes from prep to plate. I added a courgette and some peppers to the crispy potato part of the recipe for a bit of colour and to up my veggie intake. This light and delicious meal was a firm favourite in my household, and it's one which we will be repeating in the future.


Gousto's meal boxes are definitely a helping hand on the path to healthy living. For those of us working the 9-5 or having a schedule which can be unpredictable, the boxes are a practical way to creating delicious meals without the hassle. For some of the recipes you could even prepare the vegetables or sauces ahead of time, leaving you with the easy task of cooking meat or fish or even reheating certain dishes once you are ready to eat.

If you make one resolution for 2017, make a commitment to eating healthily with the help of Gousto!

Thanks to Gousto for sending me a subscription box to try.
