A good concept but in our experience it was executed with a number of flaws in both the delivery, I…read morehad to chase it twice, and food when it arrived. 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 really wanted to love this place and I've given it three tries now, but unfortunately, my…read moreexperience has been less than I'd hoped for. The menu descriptions always sound amazing, but the drinks I've tried just haven't matched up. They tend to taste watery and bland, with only a faint hint of flavor. I've tried the Fruity Pebble and Strawberry Cheesecake meal replacement shakes, a Strawberry Banana kids smoothie, and most recently the Nutter Butter (without the cookie topping). Each time, the flavor just wasn't there maybe it's the protein powder being used? On my last visit (Tuesday around 1 PM), the atmosphere also felt a little off. The shop was very dim, no music or TV on, and I wasn't greeted right away even though it wasn't busy. For a meal replacement shake and kids smoothie, I paid $20.72, which felt like a lot for what I got. That being said, I think this place has a lot of potential. The ideas behind the drinks are creative, the branding is fun, and I know people are looking for healthier options like this in the community. I'd love to see management take a closer look at recipes, ingredients, and overall customer experience. A few small changes could make this spot amazing I'd be more than happy to give it another shot down the road!

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.
