Cooking in some form has been around since man first discovered he could rub two sticks together and make a spark but in our modern day world, where life just spins by faster and faster, it is often seen as a tedious chore and is often replaced by unhealthy fast food.
But stop! Wait! It needn’t be like this! Preparing an evening meal from fresh ingredients can be a relaxing and fulfilling experience. Get the family into the kitchen to chat about their day while the cook does the magic. Play your favourite music.
Let your pre-teen or teenager prepare a meal with your help - you’ll be setting them up in a healthy habit. Little children? They just love to help, stirring this and that, fetching stuff or splashing in the sink “doing the washing-up”. It takes a little more agility, mentally and physically, keeping everything on track but you’ll be glad you did it as it instills a good attitude to healthy home-cooked meals.
If you’re someone who sees “kitchen” and “cooking” as dirty words, the very best place to start is to order a meal kit or two. Everything is measured and prepared and you will have a recipe card to follow step by step. You don’t have to come up with ideas, shop for the ingredients or even chop them but you still have the pleasure of creating a delicious meal that you know is good for you.
Meal kits also create a way to entertain a pre-teen or teenager during those never-ending school holidays - let them do dinner! For the little ones that love to help in the kitchen meal kits at least mean that no one is wielding that extra sharp chefs knife to chop ingredients!
TasteBox was born to instil a love of home cooking in people that battle with the idea of constantly thinking of new meals that can be on the table in under an hour. Think of passing that on to your children by letting them prepare meals using meal kits.
