We particularly appreciate that Gina uses many of the same sources my husband and I, both old...um...well seasoned home cooks who support local sources and have for decades been focused on healthy eating, choose to buy when cooking ourselves. And I appreciate that when I need a break from cooking, which I love to do and it keeps me sane, I can get delicious and good for us meals delivered right to our front door in glass containers in an insulated cooler bag. We tried a couple of other local food delivery services that didn't do as they promised in food quality or process. Clean Cuisine by Gina gets it right every time. THE OPTIONS: When you order you choose from a set menu that is either omnivore or vegetarian, both menus change weekly, or "build your own bag" which is what we choose to do making selections from both menus. Many, maybe even most, of the options are also gluten free. My husband and I lean vegetarian about 85% of the time and when we do use animal proteins we are so choosy about sourcing that we particularly appreciate Gina specifies her source for them and they are ones we also use. (You know those people from that Portlandia Colin the Chicken restaurant comedy bit, "Is your chicken local"? That's us. :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErRHJlE4PGI ) THE PROCESS: Order by noon on Sunday and Tuesday deliveries are sometime between 3p and 7p, depending on your location. The food is delivered cold, with ice packs, in glass containers in an insulated cooler bag. On either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning you'll receive in your inbox a link to a fun video of Gina describing the week's options. ( Like this one as example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRhWcoIK5Pw ) When you're finished with the good eats, wash out the glass containers and put them along with the ice packs back in the insulated bag and schedule pick up for an ensuing Tuesday. Simple. MAGIC WAND SUGGESTIONS: If I could wave a magic wand, I'd have them list the ingredients in the dish in the description on the order site. One can email to get it in advance and ingredients are listed on card inserted with order at delivery, but for purposes of allergy and preference both considered ahead of order, it would be helpful to know on the site. Also, an observation is there are times when the image on the order site does not match the item delivered. For grounding example, the braised short ribs shown on site perched on a mound of mashed potatoes all in a pool of lovely gravy in reality came on top of mashed potatoes with gravy spooned over all. It was a delicious dish, and a treat for us as I seldom choose to cook beef at home, but it didn't plate up anywhere near the photo since gravy was minimal and not separate for serving. TIP: The glass containers for the entrees intended to be served hot are oven safe but they are so well packed, as in full, that the heating times on the insert cards are substantially understated if you choose to use the container in the oven. We've found it it works best to remove the contents to heat in a larger dish. DELIVERY FEE: $15 but is waived with minimum order of $75. Pick up is included in price.

Our family of four took a private class with Grace, with a focus on making bibimbap and ssamjang…read more(bibimbap sauce), both veggie and beef versions. Grace was knowledgeable, fun, and entertaining. She was super patient with our relatively inexperienced teens, demonstrating how to use a knife and work with different vegetables and herbs. The food we made with her help was delicious, and we left with full bellies, a set of simple recipes, and four mason jars of tasty sauce that we've already used to make another meal at home. If you enjoy Korean cuisine, we highly recommend Grace's classes. She also caters events and sells her sauces, marinated beef, and meal kits that we would buy regularly if we didn't live in San Francisco.

I bought kimchee from Grace at a farmers market this summer and really enjoyed it. Recently I…read moreordered more online, but and showed up to pick up the order only to discover it was an apartment complex and she hadn't disclosed the full address on her website. She did not respond to my calls or text messages so I could pick up my order.

See my photos that I detailed with captions. As example, key ingredients as described in the order photo and write up were missing with no substitution. I appreciate what this young woman, cook and health advocate is trying to accomplish in healthy meals, home delivered, with option of ad-hoc or subscription ordering. But it fell enough short for our one try that we didn't order again. Also, I'll note that she calls herself "chef" but has no formal training. But she came to be passionate about the role of good food in health due to a personal health crisis and it is a good thing to want to carry forward the learning she had to help others. Last, I think she has recently taken over a once failing restaurant space in the North End of Boise and renamed and recrafted it into a restaurant of her own. It carries a different name than Haute Foods.

I was soooo excited to try out Haute for the macro meal delivery service. The pros are that it was…read morevery easy to order and the team did a great job accommodating my dietary needs. I choose the chef's choice option and for almost everything, flavors were great. One of the meats was over salted but not inedible. The sauces were all very delicious. The cons: only received 13/15 meals ordered. Since each meal is upwards of $15, this was a significant shortage. Three of the meals had undercooked beef (not rare steak, but tough bulgogi cuts), so that was only 10 out of 15 edible meals delivered. The turmeric cauliflower had a sandy texture I couldn't stomach. I was told by the team that I should have reheated it for 20 minutes in a cast iron skillet, rather than microwave. The meals were not labeled and there were no instructions on reheating, so that was just confusing all around. If you order the chefs choice, you have to request your itemized receipt to see the macros and the macros for the protein will be missing, so you'll just be on your own in terms of calculating macros and calories for your meal. Fine, but not the product they're selling. The team has been somewhat responsive as I've brought these issues up, but I'm still waiting to hear if/how I will be compensated for the 5 missing/undercooked meals. And it doesn't help the issue that now I have to go to the grocery store, cook, etc when I had thought I had that all taken care of for me by paying a premium to Haute. I asked for a credit for the following week as the food was decent and the service (if it actually is executed as billed) is a great, convenient concept. UPDATE: the team offered additional meals to compensate for the missing/undercooked food. I was fine with it as I really wanted to continue the service, but a credit would have been a much better solution.

The use of leaner meats like turkey and white-meat chicken is appreciated. For diabetes it is great to have food that is not sweetened with sugar and slower-digesting basmati rice that does not spike blood glucose the way polished white rice does. Ten meals per week do get consumed, so having them fresh not frozen and completely without preservatives never becomes an issue. The green smoothies combining spinach, chunks of pineapple, a little coconut, and mint add fiber in drinkable form. Everything is great! Bravo Aundrea for providing food that is not ultra processed and full of emulsifiers, dyes, artificial flavors, etc. Let us know if you ever develop a vegetarian/no meat menu, since it just might help to regress coronary artery plaques full of saturated fat. Thank you, Fed Up Kitchens!

I had to know who made the food, just like reviewer Andrew H did 6 years ago, because it was…read morefantastic! Event food can be just so so but not with **Horsewood Catering.**It all was so good! The thought that went into the menu and the dishes was tremendous. The plates were unique and flavorful. The Idaho Mac was my personal favorite. It was cheddar cheese sauce with cavatappi pasta, potatoes, bacon and green onions mixed. Pasta and potatoes what? Oh but It is so good. It pairs so well with the tri-top they served. The carved tri-tip was also delicious. The garden vegetables and sourdough bread & butter divine. The one of a kind peaceful belly salad of mixed greens with nuts, cucumber, bacon, goat cheese and more with some wonderful vinaigrette dressing. Tasty as can be. Another rarity in events is that all the dishes are scrumptious. With Horsewood catering this in what happens. I heard no complaints about the food. The only downside was they were in charge of ice water and did not have water ready and available when attendees arrived in warm weather. Had they had that predone and set out for people they would have been sheer perfection. In any case they were five stars for food. I wouldn't hesitate if they are a choice for catering your meal or event. I wish I had gotten another bite of everything!

I love, love, love what Life's Kitchen does for their students! This is like a test kitchen, but…read morethey hit the mark! Servers and cooks are students. Expect some awkwardness and maybe delays. They occupy an old Marie Callendars restaurant, still nice, clean, comfy. I've had both the Chicken Sandwich and the Turkey Club. Both are delicious, however, the turkey is like in shards, not a piece of meat, but shavings. A little weird. Tips do not go to servers, but to the program, which is great. They also do catering. The food quality is great, so give them a try.

Life's kitchen is a great experience. Plan some extra time for lunch…read more I've lunched at LK a few times. The one thing to be aware of is that they're learning and it can take extra time to get things right. On our most recent visit, it took 45 minutes. The server explained that we were the first to order the daily special and it took a few tries to get it right. The Daily Special A dish that one of the students (the cook for the day) has dreamed up for the day, so it may not have been made but once prior to your visit. When you pay, you are asked to "Pay what you think it's worth". The special Philly with homemade cheese sauce was indeed incredible and worth every cent of being the best thing on the menu, so I paid top dollar! The good: Everything but the time it can take to get lunch. The meh As stated ya gotta plan 90 minutes for lunch. The bad Nothing to report.

I've never been a catering customer, but I have been a guest often at events catered by 3 Girls Catering. Everything looked and tasted great! I was impressed by the presentation. So my review today is specific to ICONIC, which is their new restaurant & venue. Their location on Glenwood happens to be on my route to and from work. I stopped by on a recent weekday to get some dinner for takeout. I got two ridiculously good sandwiches: turkey with pesto & sharp cheddar and ham with brie and a fig jam. My dad and I couldn't decide which we liked best. They were hot, well-assembled sandwiches with flavors that we really enjoyed. They have a nice ramp into the front door if you need accessibility. Ample parking in the lot.

Otherwise, I would highly recommend them.
