After reading details on their website, I ordered 3 meals for 2 people which came out to $36.00 with 40% off discount code. I ordered the following: * BBQ Turkey Bacon Burger * Kale-Corn Grilled Cheese * Heat and Eat Curry Chicken Pot Pie The meal kit arrived as per the email, I received a phone call informing me of the delivery and an email confirming it has been delivered. All the ingredients were well packaged and there were ice packs for the meat products. I received a handwritten card from them as well, which was really nice of them. The recipes were very easy to follow and instructions were clear. The ingredients were labeled accordingly and it made it easy to cook dinner without confusion. Overall, my favourite meal was the Kale-Corn Grilled Cheese - I would personally try to recreate this as I found this full of flavour and delicious. I especially enjoyed the Dijon mustard and combination of garlic with kale and cheese. The BBQ Turkey Bacon Burger was tasty as well, this has encouraged me to make my own burgers; this recipe highlighted how easy it really is. The Heat and Eat meal is great if you're tired after a long day of work, all you have to do is put it in the oven. I would definitely try out Eat Prepd again and recommend to my friends & family. It was a fun experience and great way to try new recipes without having to purchase the full size of each ingredient. If you're looking for a break from your usual meals, try Eat Prepd and get inspired to eat healthy and delicious meals without the hassle of going to the grocery store.

Prepd stops your aggravating "What's for dinner?" routine by making delicious, healthy home-cooking…read moreeasier than you've ever imagined. They create 6 great recipes each week, then deliver these recipes with all the fresh, pre-portioned ingredients you need to cook those recipes, right to your door. Home-cooking has never been easier. Each recipe is pre-tested in the kitchen for deliciousness and is a wholesome and balanced meal. Prepd makes an effort to support local farms and vendors so that your ingredients are as fresh as can be. You can also choose between omnivore meals or vegetarian meals and each meal takes about 35 minutes or less to cook. The head chef at Eat Prepd has been a certified chef for over 20 years and is also a holistic nutritionist and food developer so you can count on the recipes to be balanced and nutritious. At $10 per plate, it is only $60 per week for three meals for two people. You have the option of ordering for one, two or four people. Note, orders for one person are $40 for three meals. You may skip week's if need be. Delivery is free and the delivery area is: 427 in the west, Steeles in the north, Victoria Park in the east and the lake in the south. Delivery usually takes place on a Sunday which is very ideal for me so that I can prepare meals for the week. The meals are delivered in a big cardboard box and each meal is pre-portioned out into plastic bags. It was easy to store the bags in the fridge but I would have preferred brown bags. The recipes varied a lot and I ended up cooking a Greek Chicken Salad, Pesto Shrimp Linguine and Roasted Cauliflower Tacos. Each meal was very easy to prepare and the results were definitely praise-worthy. The Shrimp Pasta was the highlight for me as the flavour was impeccable and it took only 25 minutes or so to cook. It's a meal that I would make again, and thanks to Prepd, I now know how to make it and can buy all of the ingredients next time to impress my guests. I would definitely use Prepd again because the pricing is very affordable at only $10 per plate. The meals options are always quite interesting so that you always have a chance to experiment with new ingredients you may have never used before.

This is not the first time I had returned food that was spoiled (cream cheese on a bagel and other items). I felt Mabel's deserved another chance as a community business. I did get my money back and ordered a coffee. After drinking it, I felt quite nauseous and then worse. I reached out to the owner who did NOTHING about it. No apology, no offer for a free coffee or even regret for the rudeness. Just a refusal to take responsibility: "all our food is fresh, this never happened type of 'fake news', double talk. I will no longer attend this establishment as the food is too frequently sold after its sell by date. A question to the owner: "how long do you think you can take advantage of customers until none of us are interested in supporting you and why do you feel entitled to hard earned money in exchange for spoiled, old food"?

The bakery is still shockingly awful, if the tooth shattering, impressively tasteless "sugar cookie" I got is any indication. Not only was it the worst cookie I've ever paid for, but holy craps, it was seven bucks! Seven dollars for a cookie that tastes like it was purchased from the dollar store in 2023. I could hammer a nail with it. I would bet serious dough that Metro cookies would beat Mabel's in a blind taste test. The service, focaccia, and salad were good, so that's how Mabel's earns two stars from me. It's just so strange that this place is both the worst and most expensive bakery in Toronto. It's like a quantum singularity that somehow remains popular despite being surrounded on all sides by better bakeries, cafes, and eateries.

As I assumed, it was not the 小笼包 that I expected (which is a dumpling with meat & soup wrapped in a thin wrapper). It was Chinese steamed bread. Disappointed, but when steamed at home, they turned out to be good with tasty juicy filling, nice surprise :). The dough was fluffy and smooth as well. I steamed two buns. One of them was just steamed, and I fried the other one. Both were good, and I enjoyed the variations. The size was very appropriate for a light snack. 15 for $15. Not bad. Steamed for 8 mins (for two buns in a bamboo basket steamer) with high heat and turned out great. Recommend to serve with vinegar.

I'm so happy that my first review of the year is a 5-star review!…read more Each year for New Year's, my husband and I just pick up a shrimp ring and a box of mixed hors d'oeuvres from the grocery store. This year I wanted something different... something special. A charcuterie board! Yes. That would be perfect. I was searching around online and found Charcuterie Pickering. They were close, their website was beautiful but most importantly, the reviews were great. I thought at first that they might be a better option for our corporate events but then I saw that they had all sorts of options available, large and small. I couldn't find a price list online so surely they're going to be too expensive for what I was looking for but thought, what did I have to lose by requesting a price list? I reached out via their website and Maria was quick to respond to my query. Much to my surprise (and happiness), the prices were reasonable. Since it was just for my husband and I, I opted for the small 10x10 box. Charcuterie Pickering accepts payment by etransfer and credit card (by phone). As I was paying by credit card, I had the opportunity to speak with Maria directly. She asked about allergies and preferences. Thankfully neither of us have any food allergies and because of that, I didn't want to limit her creativity by choosing any preferences. I wanted her to know that she had complete creative licence and mentioned my love for blue cheese so even that would be welcomed... you know, on the off-chance she may have some laying around. (Okay, so maybe that was one preference I was hoping she would include.) We scheduled our pick up for mid-afternoon on New Year's Eve and she came out to meet us at our car. Honestly, at first I was amazed by the weight of the box but as I peaked through the lid, my excitement grew! It was so hard to wait until later in the evening to have it and truth be told, we did dip into it a couple of times along the way. Our box included an assortment of meats, fresh and dried fruit, crackers, olives, jams, jellies and even honey with the most adorable wooden honey dipper. But there she was... tucked into a corner... the most glorious looking blue cheese! To be fair, that blue cheese was the reason why I couldn't wait and ended up sneaking a couple of bites early. Everything was absolutely fabulous... especially that blue cheese! My goodness, that blue cheese! Picking through the box was like a little food adventure... trying everything, in every combination. It was beautiful. It was delicious. It was perfect. I hope to make this my new New Year's tradition.
