Home Chef Meal Delivery review
I have been using Home Chef for a few years and love the variety. The portions are more than adequate and the directions are easy to follow. My only complaint is with the vendor they use for shrimp. They do not vacuum seal and the bags almost always leak -- YUK! Last summer due to shipping delays, the ice packs would come completely melted, so I stopped delivery for a few months during the hot weather. I believe the problem was with FedEx, not Home Chef and I am now getting them on time and adequately cooled.

Home Chef Meal Delivery review
The packing is the key. The food is on top on the ice packs and the container is left in the sun from the delivery company. Put the food in between ice packs so that the sun does not warm the product before the customer has a chance to take it inside their home/refrigerator.

Home Chef Meal Delivery review
I ordered 3 meals for 2 people. All of the veggies were fresh, herbs were fresh, meat was chicken and pork chop. I loved that all of the items were packaged together with a label telling you which veggies/spices goes with the recipe card. I only cooked one meal because I had to work over so I gave them to my sisters to try. Our meal was goo and my husband is a picky eater. Everythings was fresh.
