ON THE MENU

Organic food suppliers Abel & Cole refresh their

seasonal recipe box menu with 15 new options

each week. I’m offered nine different categories

including ‘foodie’, ‘speedy’ and ‘light’ but opt for

veggie. There’s six recipes to choose from and a

further three that are vegan. They all look great,

but could be a bit limited if I decide to eat plant-

based all week as I sometimes do.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

Everything I need to cook three different meals is

delivered to my door early on a Monday morning

and I love having my weekend freed up by not

having to do a big grocery shop. I unpack all of the

ingredients for: Coconut & Tomato Lentil Curry;

Roast Squash, Walnut & Feta Couscous; and

Lentil & Mushroom Cottage Pie. There’s quite a

lot of packaging, but Abel & Cole reassure me that

everything is recyclable and returnable to them.
