I have been reviewing Chef’s Plate on a regular basis for the last few months, and you all know I am obsessed with this meal delivery service. But for those of you who are new to the concept, here’s how it works:

  2. Choose the 2-person plan or the family plan
  3. Choose to receive 2, 3 or 4 meals per week
  4. Choose your delivery date – Tuesday or Friday
  5. Choose your recipes
  6. Receive your ingredients in a refrigerated box, portioned and with step-by-step cooking instructions
