I learned my love for cumin and coriander early. In fact, every ingredient seemed like a fair game.

I’m a bit of a kid, but that’s true. Packaged home ramen has been a food for a long time and I am proud to be able to eat. And this was Tuesday, Tuesday after working hours. However, by the time I drizzled over the drizzled chili oil over a bowl of pork chick arrogant sprinkle, I topped it with a lightly tapped chest of sesame-grilled chicken breasts. Not only was the dinner delicious, I did something. Tuesday. Without trying hard.

This is the promise of a meal kit like Hellofresh. That’s why people pay more than groceries, but less than a decent delivered meal to receive it. It’s a promise of a better, yet still manageable homely vision. It involves making a well thought out meal without actually imagining it.
