Every time I visit my Nana, she pulls me into a kitchen and tries to force me to cook. Or simply calls me up listing all of the family recipes that will disappear if I don’t learn them. The thing is, I’ve never had an interest in cooking. My brother loves it — which I remind my Nana every single time, but I, sadly, do not.

At least, I thought I didn’t.

A while ago I started seeing ads for Chef’s Plate pop up in my Facebook Timeline. I was instantly intrigued, but again, my impartiality towards it made my attention waver immediately as I continued to scroll down the page. Then I went to an event that offered me a discount on the service and I signed up for one week instantly.

The experience was amazing and I’m basically a chef now. Just saying.

When Monday rolled around, I got the delivery in a box insulated and iced to keep the ingredients fresh. The ingredients themselves were measured out perfectly and conveniently packed in ziplock bags that I would eventually use for all the waste as well.

As for the directions? While the recipes themselves seemed complex, making the dish was so much easier than I could have expected. AND FAST. Before I knew it I was eating Mango Chili Chicken and it was good. Like, really good.

Overall, Chef’s Plate gets a 5 star rating from me. It might seem pretty high, but at its cost and convenience, not to mention variety and ease to make, it’s hard not to fall in love with the service.
