About Sunbasket

Recipes are designed by Chef Justine Kelly former executive chef of the James Beard’s The Slanted Door restaurant. Chef Justine Kelly works hand in hand with local farmers bringing fresh seasonal ingredients to each customer’s kitchen. Meals provided are approved by a nutritionist and can be prepared in as little as 30 minutes.

Meal Kit prices start at $10.99 and Fresh & Ready starts at $8.99, per serving. Shipping is $6.99/week. Sunbasket clients are free to skip any week or cancel any time they desire because Sunbasket does not require any contracts or commitment with their customers.

Meal Subscription Services

Sunbasket provides flexible meal plans that can be cancelled or skipped at any time. There is no charge to skip a week. Customers can choose their own recipes each week or select the mean plan suggested by the meal delivery service for them. Recipes come with pre–measured ingredients, which makes for less food waste and easier cleanup.

Sunbasket offers two meal plans the Classic Menu and the Family Menu. With the Classic Menu, customers can choose 2, 3, or 4 recipes a week that feed 2 or 4 people. The Family Plan also provides 2, 3, or 4 recipes per week, but serves a family of 4 with leftovers.

#BUYERBEWARE We "tried" this even though we like another and this food turned out to be NOT fresh and nothing compared to others (will not name because that's not what this is about). The link is actually "TRY.sunbasket.com..." but the assumption on their end is that you're committed/signed up even if you haven't "tried" the food. Was charged first subscription charge before date and now refusing to refund (even AFTER explaining that the food was NOT GOOD). This service market is WAY TOO SATURATED to scam/slam people into your service like phone companies used to do (and got in a lot of trouble for). The other services we've used go OUT OF THEIR WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE HAPPY SO EVEN IF YOU... Read More

I quite enjoyed trying the recipes of Sun Basket. They are very flavorful so much so that I needed to use much lower quantities of some of the flavorings. It was great to try so many "new to me" ingredients and the quality of ingredients was generally very good. I liked everything about the company except one big one. It was next to impossible to reach someone on the phone and it is required to have live communication to have an extended break from service or to cancel the service. Sure, you can cancel anytime --- but how one needs to do this is not disclosed, period. Phone tagging is not acceptable service, period.
