In my search for Vegan food delivery I have found myself reviewing this new prepared food delivery services. This week I ordered four dishes to try out. This week we're trying Mama Sezz.
Here's a bit about the company.
My food arrived in two days because I happened to order just in the right time window. The package comes with a return FedEx label. You have to put all the product back into the box and schedule a pick up from FedEx.
I was so excited to see Mac & Cheese as an option. Of course I tried that first!

We also ordered the raw bread which we did not care for at all. We ended up tossing that into the bird feeder. They loved it.
My mac and cheese was pretty tasty. I warmed it on the stove but I think next time I would do it in the microwave to avoid the mac getting broken up. The flavor was great. I was really pleased.

The next thing we tried was the Moroccan Stew. The smell was incredible. It was extremely hearty and looked amazing. About three bites in however the spice was over the top. I had to stop eating it because it was so spicy hot. This would certainly be something I wouldn't order again.

Our next adventure was the Gardner's Pie.
Well, I had high hopes for this one but again, I was disappointed. The potatoes were loaded with an onion puree that over powered the entire dish. Then the carrots on the top were almost raw. It did not make for a pleasant experience. we ended up tossing the whole thing. :(
Finally we got to the Quinoa Stack and it just didn't look right. We decided not to eat it. I contacted the company to let them know about the quality of the food we received and they were amazing. The founder herself contacted me and we spoke on the phone. She offered me a full refund on my order which I accepted and she included my choice of anything on the site to test out. I opted for some chili and another go at the Mac Attack. This time I'll heat it in the microwave and hopefully it will be better.
I really love the concept behind this company and with this personalized dedication to quality and customer service I believe they will go far. If you have a chance, head over and check out Mama Sezz. I highly recommend them!
This week I'm reviewing GreenChef's Black Rice Stir-fry. Over all I've been pleased with my first week of GreenChef. They are one of the few places that deliver restaurant quality meals that I can prepare in 30 mins and are completely organic and vegan. I have continued my subscription and will have another delivery next week.
My delivery this week as a 2 out of 3 ain't bad deal. The first two were really good. I enjoyed them a lot. This last one however, I'm not sure if I didn't cook the rice long enough or if the Kimchi was just over the top for me but it wasn't something I was happy with. If I was dining out, I would have sent this dish back. It just wasn't for me. It turned out really beautiful though. And perhaps some one with a broader taste may like it. I will say that it has red bell pepper which I hate in it, but I didn't taste the peppers at all. That makes me more willing to try more recipes with them in the future. So over all I didn't lose out completely.
So here's what we got:

We started by coating the sweet potato in olive oil and salt and pepper. They go into the oven to bake while we were getting everything else together.

Hubby diced up the remain veg, while I cleaned the cilantro and got the rice and soybeans together.

After the Bok Choy is cooked we set it aside. Next the bell pepper gets cooked in olive oil until tender.

Next you add all the veg to the pan with the bell pepper and cook

Everything cooks for about 2-3 mins and then you serve. As you can see the dish was lovely.
It just wasn't for me. I'm not sure what it was about it, but there was this spicy after taste that I really didn't care for.

So that's my review. I don't like to end on a sour note (pun intended) so I think I may follow up with another set of three just to get a good over all sense of how this food delivery system works. If you think you'd like to try GreenChef out here's a link to sign up. Portion sizes for the meal for two are very generous. We had extra with each meal we tried.
This is what's on the menu for the next two weeks. I'm really excited about these.
