Received two free weeks as a gift so I thought it would be great to try this type of service. On the plus side, the meals for 2 people were more than sufficient. The quality of the food is excellent and the combinations of seasoning, etc. makes for an excellent meal.
On the down side, the prep time is WAY off and I have been cooking for 36 years. My children also use Blue Apron and have said the same thing. It is not fast, especially after a long day. The good thing is you know you will have all the ingredients. You have very limited menu choice and so it does not meet up with preferences or allergies to well. I do think the packaging is not clearly marked as how to recycle. You have to go on the website to get the information. Contacting them is also not very easy. I had a hard time cancelling my membership and received unwanted boxes.
All in all, I may use Blue Apron again, but I am now using Hungry Root and like their system better.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
