fresh food as described fresh food as described. not a waste of surplus packaging material. I like the tray on the inside to hold ingredients goes straight into fridge as is. only suggestion would be offering alternate suggestions on recipe cards like if you don't have vinegar what can you use to substitute. I called when I was making the food but the lady on the phone was not able to answer my question that is the only reason for not 5 stars. But i love the recipe cards and plan of keeping all of them to remember and use again in the future.

Good recipes, extra fatty meat, and bad customer service. The recipes are delicious and creative for a meal service. The recipes are the best of all the meal subscriptions. BUT there's too much fat in the ground meat esp the ground beef. They don't stand behind their boxes. As in if there's issues with your box then take pictures otherwise they don't care. They are more expensive than other services too. I don't order as much or as often as I would if customer service were better.

There is no accountability for damaged There is no accountability for damaged, rotten or items missing. I have received bad fish and emailed with no response. The delivery is not consistent. If Tuesday is the assigned delivery day each week I may get a text that it will be delivered, then wont show up for another day.

Best of the boxes Marley Spoon has easily outclassed the competition. As a frequent and long time consumer of Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, Hungry Root and Home Chef’s meal kits I can confidently say Marley Spoon has superior ingredients and recipes. I have cooked nearly 2000 unique meals with the other services. MS has provided techniques and quality recipes with distinctly fresh and speciality ingredients that are a tier above the competition. As far as pricing goes I am still happy with it being 33% more expensive than Hello Fresh and 12% more than Blue Apron. In terms of complexity, you don’t want to be a novice with many of these recipes as tools like the Broiler are not as forgiving as other meal kits’ simple fry, sauté or bake options. It is not the same brand heavy/ grocery experience as Hungry Root, and seems to lack a weekly meal prep option.

Do not subscribe to this service Do not subscribe to this service! On multiple occasions we had issues with ingredients and/or delivery - damaged box, delivery over 24 hours late, spoiled ingredients which made the meal incomplete or unable to prepare. Customer Service is terrible.
