Goodfood, formerly known as Culiniste, is a weekly grocery delivery service. They offer a once-a-week subscription service where they deliver all the fresh ingredients you need to make delicious meals at home, 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!
They recently rebranded Culiniste to Goodfood to reflect their commitment to not only make recipes that taste great, but also use business as a force for good by donating a meal to a child in need for each box purchased. The culinary team curates awesome recipes for your box each week based on your taste preferences. They then send you an email with details about the recipes. If you'd like to skip the week free of charge or swap your selection, you can do so at any time before Wednesday by visiting "your selection" in the member section of the website.
Each recipe is designed to be a well-balanced, healthy meal that includes protein, veggies and carbs. In addition, each delivery comes with beautifully printed recipe cards and step-by-step instructions. The ingredients come in a box with an insulation liner and ice packs. All the packaging can be recycled. Meals are designed to stay fresh for a full week following the delivery of your box.

We chose the Family Box (3 meals):
Margherita Burger w/ Lemony Zucchini Fries
This was just like a margherita pizza but as a hamburger. The tangy tomato sauce, melted mozzarella and fresh basil went together nicely with the Parmesan-spiked burgers. As a side we made zucchini fries that were baked in the oven. They turned out soft, but were still good.
Stir-Fried Pork Tenderloin w/ Black Bean Sauce & Toasted Cashews
I love a good stir fry and this one had all the right ingredients for that, but the final result just wasn't my taste preference.The stir fry is savoury, salty, garlicky, but I think maybe it was the black bean sauce that I didn't care for.
Chicken Pitas w/ Mint Cucumber Sauce & Marrakesh Couscous Salad
This was delicious and the boys actually enjoyed it, expect for the couscous salad, which we had an excessive amount of leftovers! The chicken is spiced-rubbed in toasted pitas with a yummy cucumber-mint yogurt sauce. It's light and flavourful, great for a warm summer's night. We'll be making this again!
Essentially, Goodfood is the same as it was when it was called Culiniste, but I like the new options for the Classic, Family, and Vegetarian meals. You can also choose between 2-4 recipes per week which you can switch up at any time. All the meals are fairly quick to prepare. For us, it really saves time and it's super convenient! It's a great service for busy families, couples, or single people.
