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 Greek Halloumi Gyros. In this kit you get Gyros Blend, Fries Seasoning and Mint & Garlic Sauce.


I've linked the Greek Chicken Gyros for this dish as it follows the same recipe, the only thing that changes is instead of cooking the chicken as the first step, you marinate the halloumi and then cook alongside the fries.
Also, as you can see, I had the halloumi, while Skye had chicken as she doesn't like halloumi.
I really like this dish, it's full of flavour as well as being really light and refreshing.

Next from this box I cooked the Coronation Chickpea Pie. In this kit you get Garlic & Ginger Paste, Mango Spice Blend and Coronation Paste.

Heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6.

Prep the filling.



Make the sauce.


Assemble the pie.


Serve!

I wasn't really a fan of this dish as I'm not really a fan of chickpea's, the other flavours were nice but it just isn't a dish for me.
We've had the Coronation Chicken Pie before and I'm definitely more of a fan of the chicken pie.
I also served ours with what I call herby potatoes, which are new potatoes boiled, drained and then herbs and butter added.

Next from this box I cooked the Pad Thai. In this kit you get Pad Thai Paste, Tamarind and Thai Tomato Paste.


We always enjoy this dish, all the flavours work really well together. It's a dish I never get bored of.

Lastly from tis box I cooked the Sausage & Fennel Pasta. In this kit you get Chilli & Fennel Mix, Smoked Salt & Chive and Garlic Vegetable Stock.


Sadly this dish is no longer available. But the flavours were really nice an everything worked well together.

Each box is £11.78 or £9.99 if you click ship now, with your first box being a trial price of £3.

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 Churrasco Halloumi Burger. In this kit you get Piri Piri Glaze, Spicy Wedge Mix and Saffron Seasoning.

Heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6 and bring a pan of water to the boil.

Prep the veg and halloumi.


Make the alioli.



Cook the halloumi.

Serve!


The alioli wasn't for me, I'm not the biggest fan of the flavour.
Skye isn't a fan of halloumi, so as you can see she had beef burgers, while I had the halloumi burgers. I loved them, they were full of flavour. The only downside to halloumi is that as it gets colder, it gets tougher and loses the flavour. But overall this was really nice.

Next from this box I cooked the Balinese Chicken. In this kit you get Garlic Coconut Paste, Balinese Curry Paste and Balinese Curry Garnish.

Get the curry started.


Add the Balinese flavours.


Let it simmer.

Serve!



While I liked the flavours, I prefer a thicker and creamier curry base, this for me was a little watery for my liking.

Next from this box I cooked the Tamil Black Pepper Chicken. In this kit you get Black Pepper Paste, Tamil Style Rice Stock and Turmeric Yoghurt Seasoning.

Heat the oven to 200C/200C Fan/Gas Mark 7 and boil 250ml water in the kettle.

Cook the chicken.


Cook the pilau rice.





Make the turmeric yoghurt sauce.

Serve!


I never thought that I would like rice with raisins in it, but I thought it was really nice.
The chicken was really juicy and tender, and the flavours worked really well, the recipe calls for chicken thighs but I always swap them for chicken breast as I prefer it.
The yoghurt sauce was delicious and worked really well with both the rice and the chicken.

Lastly from this box I cooked the Crispy Chilli Beef. In this kit you get Stir-fry Seasoning, Honey Soy Sauce and Chilli & Garlic Sauce.


This dish always goes down a treat, both myself and Skye really enjoy it. It's definitely become a regular for us.
While I hold back on the spice, it's still full of flavour and never takes me long to devour it.

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 £10.99, with your first box being a trial price of £3 and each box has free delivery.
