I bought this when my boyfriend moved in, as a source of quick, relatively healthy and straightforward recipes for weeknights. We're both busy and impatient people who like good food but don't have the time or energy to embark on complex feasts after work. We're gradually working our way through the book and so far I've been extremely impressed. Each recipe serves two people generously (but can be sized up as you wish) and takes between 30 and 45 minutes. There may even be enough left over show more for lunchboxes the following day, but that depends on whether or not one of you is a human hoover. It means you can enjoy the HelloFresh concept without having to sign up to their ingredient delivery boxes - and so far it seems to be the ideal way to cook together, from scratch, and avoid falling into the trap of constant ready meals.
