See now that’s what I’m talking about!!!
Tonight I put some spaghetti in a pot for 6 minutes and then threw in some salmon and peas and let it keep going for another 3 minutes or so. Then I drained it and drowned it all in a mustardy sauce I whipped up. Only one pot needed to be cleaned for this dinner and with waiting for the water to boil, it took me about 20 minutes in total to do. No chopping!

Made a quick dinner tonight (would have been quicker if not for our late Tesco.com delivery, grrr) – one pack of their Finest pumpkin ravioli which cooks in 4 minutes plus a brown butter & sage sauce (Mario Batali’s recipe). It’s enough for 2, and you can take the rest to work. Technically uses 2 pots, but if you cook the ravioli, drain and let it relax while the butter browns, you could get it down to 1 pot. No chopping involved. Boom.

I do like HelloFresh food…it’s just the work I can’t deal with!
Spiralizer…gave it a try the other day. Tasty. I need to work on the water content of the courgettes though. Messes with everything. Blog post forthcoming, I promise!

Thank you for sating my curiosity about this company.

Room for a pun?

Dorothy Parker (when her doorbell rang): “What fresh hell is this?”

Krista Passport-Delicious (in a different context): “This is what Hello Fresh is.”

Sorry…

How did you get on with the Spiraliser? Please post about it. Please. I’d love to read PD on that. But maybe it’s not in keeping with the blog’s remit. If you need good recipes: http://www.inspiralized.com (Limey joke that doesn’t translate: we call zucchini pasta “courgetthi”).
