Cook restaurant quality meals!
Each box comes with 4 recipe kits and 4 step-by-step recipe cards.
Following the recipes, you combine the kits with 4-6 items from your fridge or cupboard.
Then in just 20 minutes  you'll be enjoying a delicious meal for 2-4 people.


First from this box I cooked the Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles. In this kit you get Chilli Oil Mix, Dan Dan Stock and Sichuan Style Paste.


We've had this dish a few times and it always goes down a treat. The flavours are really nice and work really well together. We always enjoy this dish.

Next cooked from this box I cooked the Mexican Pulled Chicken. In this kit you get Spicy Wedge Seasoning, Chipotle Paste and Mole Sauce.

This is another dish we love and we've had it quite a lot. I love the flavours, they all work perfectly together. As you can see we have different potato wedges because Skye doesn't like sweet potato. I also have to tone down the spices as Skye doesn't like spicy food so I always try and make it mild.

Next from this box I cooked the Thai Red Prawn Curry. In this kit, you get Garlic Paste, Thai Red Paste and Thai Red Garnish.

The flavours always work really well together for this dish. Skye enjoys prawns now so she also enjoys this dish. This has definitely become a favourite for us.

Last from this box I cooked the Japanese Seared Steak. In this kit you get Steak Rub, Shichimi Rice Stock and Shiro Miso Paste.

This is another dish that we always love and enjoy. The spring onions and mushrooms in the rice really adds flavour. The sauce really elevates the steak. This is definitely a delicious dish.

Now let me get to the business side of the Simply Cook boxes, each box comes with 4 recipe kits which include 3 pots of sauces, herb, stock etc, as well as 4 step-by-step recipe cards, that contain the full list of ingredients you'll need, and alternatives etc.
You can choose which dishes you would like in your box, or you can leave it to the Simply Cook gang and let them randomly pick your dishes to enjoy. You can set your preferences whether you're wanting something mild to spicy, something family friendly, there's recipes from all around the world.
You can choose how often you would like your boxes, whether that would be weekly, fortnightly, or even every 4 weeks. You can also change, pause or even cancel your subscription at any time.
Each box is £11.78 or £9.99 if you click ship now, with your first box being a trial price of £3.
If you are interested in making your own Simply Cook subscription, then head over to the Simply Cook website, to check out more details as well as their big catalogue of dishes to make.

Here is a code to help you on your way and to get you your first box free:

See you soon!

Today's song has been used on this day for the past 7 years. If you've been following this countdown for the past 7 years then you'll know what today means.
Today marks 7 years since Jonghyun's passing and there are still certain songs and performances that I can't watch. It may sound silly too but it really doesn't feel like it's been this long.

I remember that when I was younger, I thought this song was sung by Elvis Presley. When I saw the M/V I realised how wrong I was.
This is a song that I've heard as long as I can remember, so it's definitely up there with the classics.

I think this song you can get away with all year round as it doesn't necessarily sound like a Christmas song. But that doesn't stop me from including it in my countdown.
It first made an appearance back in 2017, and is making it's 5th appearance on my countdown.

I'm sure everyone knows this song, but I've not actually used it in my countdown since 2016.
I think this is definitely a classic Christmas song.
