I recently heard about these businesses that deliver pre-measured and, they say, fresh ingredients, along with recipes for you to cook at home. It sounds sort of like a private cooking class for those who are bored with going out or just might want to learn something new.

I have been reading their websites and as far as I can tell you can cancel anytime. (I sure hope it's not like trying to break up with the Columbia Record Club was.)

Although it is unlikely to become a way of life for me, I am thinking it might be fun to give this a try. It is not inexpensive but compared to going out it could be a relatively reasonable cost.

Does anyone here have any experience with any of these home-delivery cooking class things?
We have tried Plated, Hello Fresh and Blue Apron. BY FAR the best is Hello Fresh. The ingredients come all boxed neatly and the portion sizes for the meals are generous. If you use Groupon, you can usually get 6 meals for 2 people for about $69 total. The dishes are different and really taste yummy. These meals are fresh and come right to your door, saving you time shopping and gas money. The meals are pretty gourmet.

Do not try Plated. They will keep charging your credit card long after you cancel.

If you want to try Hello Fresh and you get your friends to sign up, you can get some pretty good discounts.

Best of luck!
