As part of my scheme to quit spending precious weekend time at the supermarket, I have been trying out having vege boxes delivered. I chose this company, as they deliver right to your doorstep, and we've been getting a seasonal fruit and vegetable box. The produce is all organic, and locally grown - another win! Though this means you don't know what you will end up getting, which is an exciting surprise, but can also be a bit challenging when you end up with an abundance of silverbeet that you're just not that into.
Luckily I have plenty of foodie resources for inspiration, such as this magazine from Mr Jamie Oliver. Lots of delish ideas are within these pages! I think I love the design of his publications as much as the recipes.
Awesome post, I had OOO0BY (out of our own backyard) boxes delivered when I was in Auckland, NZ - they were fantastic and like yours full of surprises and some interesting things to give a go - like bamboo shoots and atrichokes! Loved it - they came with recipe ideas and a breakdown of the growers. Most was organic and locally sourced. Now we are back on our own block I havent brought fruit and vege for a year ... maybe a friendly organic neighbour might be happy to pass produce your way out of their backyard!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get bamboo shoots and artichokes - very exotic! That's a great idea having recipe ideas included with the box. Your own block sounds like a dream come true! As does not having to buy fruit and veges ever! We have a feijoa tree outside our apartment so that's about as close as I get to harvesting my own produce!
