Blue Apron has done a great job developing recipes that are well-balanced and flavorful. I was worried that the produce would be subpar, since I wasn’t sure what the delivery process looked like, but everything was of a quality I would have bought if I had gone to the store and picked it out myself.Įvery single recipe was delicious, and I’m sure I’ll make them again. The ingredients were fresh and high-quality. Tasty Recipes and High-Quality Ingredients I would still recommend that you read through the entire recipe before you start - there are a few “prep” things that are placed halfway through the cooking process that I’d prefer to do at the before I start heating anything up. From doing prep all at once to timing each step correctly to make sure everything comes together simultaneously, Blue Apron’s recipes do a pretty good job of creating meals, not just dishes. When you’re cooking on a time crunch or don’t have a lot of experience, it’s nice to know how to pace multiple dishes to be done at the same time. One thing I really, really liked about Blue Apron is the meal-based format of their recipes. I do have some mixed thoughts on the product, and I thought I’d share them in case anyone else is considering Blue Apron for themselves.

Overall, it was a great experience, but I chose not to continue it.

I’ve had a few friends use Blue Apron in the past, and I’ve been curious about it for a while. Last week I got to try Blue Apron with a friend’s referral code.
