Subscription Meal Box Review - Home Chef

Subscription Meal Box Review - Home Chef

Round 2 of my meal box reviews is Home Chef. Honestly, it's a little cheaper, but the food was a little bland for my pallet. It wasn't packaged as well and FedEx left my box on my doorstep instead of at my apartments office. I live in the ghetto, so luckily it was there when I got home. Also luckily it wasn't too hot out.

Everything was separated by baggies, which probably allows them to use smaller boxes, but I really liked those boxes.

Home Chef did supply a nice little binder for all of the recipe cards, which was a nice surprise. I 3 hole punched my Hello Fresh cards and added them to the binder as well.

My first recipe in this box was Baja Fish Tacos with Sriracha Slaw and Pickled Onion.
The slaw was much better in this one. No bitter cabbage. I had trouble with the tempura batter on the tilapia though. Several times in the recipe it said to make sure the batter was thin, which I did and I think in a deep fryer it would have come out great. Pan fried, however, it stuck to the pan and I ended up scraping the batter off the pan and just setting it in the taco with the fish. These were tasty and filling, but nothing really stood out about them. If you are ever in Little Rock and want some REALLY good fish tacos, the Flying Fish is the place to go.
