Culiniste is a Canadian weekly grocery delivery service. They offer a once-a-week subscription service where they deliver all the fresh ingredients you need to make 3 meals, in exactly the right proportions. They’ve designed the experience to teach you fun new recipes, discover new ingredients (some can be hard to find!), save prep time and reduce unnecessary waste. By letting them shop for you, they can bring you fresher and higher-quality food than what’s sitting on supermarket shelves, and for better prices! Meal plans are entirely flexible, skip any week free of charge or cancel at any time.
Cost: Small box: 3 meals for 2 people (6 portions total – $59). Big box: 3 meals for 4 people (12 portions total – $115) – Prices include everything (taxes and delivery).
Ships: Ontario & Quebec
Coupon Code: GIRLMEETSBOX – Save $20 off your first box!
Each week there are 6 available recipes and you choose the 3 that you want. If none interest you or you just want to skip a week, you can do that too at no charge.
When the box is delivered to your home, it should stay cold for up to 48 hours. Food is packaged with insulated liners and ice packs, so it should be fine. What’s also great is that all the packaging can be recycled – nothing has to go in the trash!
Each delivery comes with beautifully printed recipe cards and step-by-step instructions.
Cuban Sandwiches w/ Browned Plantain & Tuscan Salad
Cuban Sandwiches w/ Browned Plantain & Tuscan Salad Ingredients
These are authentic Cuban sandwiches made with pork tenderloin, swiss cheese, homemade pickled cucumbers, and dijon mustard. The salad is made with Tuscan kale and sweet plantains tossed with a lime-garlic vinaigrette. This was a new recipe for me to try. It was alright, but not something I'd make again I don't think. The salad was simple, yet very good. Love the plantain!
Creamy Rigatoni w/ Romaine Heart & Cucumber Salad
Creamy Rigatoni w/ Romaine Heart & Cucumber Salad Ingredients
We love pasta, so I knew this dish would be great and it was! Rigatoni coated in a creamy sauce made with parmesan and ricotta cheese and zucchini. A spinach salad to go with it made with romaine lettuce and cucumber drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette.
Walnut Crusted Chicken w/ Roasted Potato & Mesclun Salad
Walnut Crusted Chicken w/ Roasted Potato & Mesclun Salad Ingredients
I've never made crusted chicken before so this was fun to try. I used rosemary, walnuts, and panko for the crust mixture and baked it in the oven with some roasted potatoes, and a side of mixed greens salad. We really enjoyed this meal!
Once again, we really enjoyed making the recipes from Culiniste. I love the meal options each week, how the ingredients have consistently been fresh, and it's a super convenient service! Great for busy families or anyone who loves to cook, but doesn't like to plan and prep too much.
