Why are the benefits of Gousto recipes?
Quality
The ingredients are always fresh and organic where possible, and even arrives perfectly pre-measured so you won’t have to waste time portioning out the right ingredients for every recipe.
Gousto also ensures produce is from trusted suppliers and all fresh meat is 100 per cent British.
Less time meal planning and shopping

Plus, if you’ve got a family of fussy eaters, the list of recipes Gousto offers might inspire you and your family to venture out and try new recipes from around the world.
Healthier meals
You may have a goal to get a little healthier, or shed some pounds before you jet off on holiday this summer.
It’s sometimes a struggle to find the time to cook healthy meals packed full of veggies, getting yourself a subscription meal kit could make your diet a lot healthier.
Having fresh veggies delivered to your door with easy-to-follow recipe cards means you have to cook the goodies that end up in your fridge.
Less waste and better for the environment
Originally meal kits gained a bad environmental reputation because of the packaging used to transport the food and plastic waste they sometimes create.
However, a new study by the University of Michigan has found that the greenhouse gasses meal kits produce is actually one third lower compared to meals bought and cooked from a supermarket.
It turns out that meal kits with exact quantities of pre-measured ingredients means less will end up in the bin, compared to buying all the ingredients separately from the supermarkets.
Gousto has also pledged to reduce the plastic packaging in their boxes by 50 percent by the end of 2019.
Gousto delivers precise ingredients and easy to follow recipe cards.
Free delivery 7 days a week, 40 weekly recipes and prices from £2.98 per person.
