Gousto: Lemon Linguine With Crab
I’ve had a couple more Gousto boxes since my last post on the subject. All of the meals have been very nice, but this – Lemon Linguine With Crab – is one of the best I have cooked.
Kitchen Safe
It seems that, during the day, I am only in danger of bingeing in the hour or so after I eat my first biscuit(s). After that, I seem as likely to take another biscuit as anybody else. So setting the Kitchen Safe to 2 hours takes the biscuits out of reach for that danger period of time, but leaves my options open for something later in the day.

Mindful Chef – Fish Pie
So, later than expected. I don’t know why I am not finding time to cook properly, but the days just whiz by.
Mindful Chef
This is the second of the recipe boxes I am trying – Mindful Chef. After my experience with Gousto (which was totally satisfactory regarding what they supplied, but fell down in my execution of their recipes), I decided to wait until this week, when I was on holiday and had plenty of time.
My Pear Tree
As mentioned in previous years, I have an established pear tree growing along the wall of my garage. It is in entirely the wrong position, being on a north-facing wall; which makes the tree perpetually try to grow over the garage to get sun.
Gousto – The Other Two Meals
Recapping, I bought a 3 meal package from Gousto, and recorded what happened with my first meal.
Gousto – Haddock & Chips
This is the first recipe I have tried from the Gousto recipe box. Basically, it is posh fish & chips. The steps described were straightforward enough, and I didn’t feel rushed (however, at 30°C, I did feel hot!). My presentation skills not-withstanding, it looked nice enough on the plate, and it went down very well too.
Gousto – Recipe Box Review
As I mentioned, the other day, this week I am trying a recipe box from Gousto. The box I am reviewing contains 3 different meals, each with two portions; it sells for £34.99, but I am taking advantage of a £25 discount, giving it to me for 9.99.
