Tester's Notes: The produce and meat that comes in Sun Basket's delivery looks like it came straight from Whole Foods: it's filled with organic and sustainable produce and meats and generally just looks healthy looking. The recipes don't require a chef's skill, and some of the steps are made easier by some pre-prepping on Sun Basket's part -- like garlic that is already peeled.
Taste-wise, it's better than what most of us non-chefs serve ourselves most of the time, and dare I say even dinner-party-worthy. The sole and squash salad, for example, is a tastier dish than most non-professional chefs might come up with on their own. Dishes like the vegetarian polenta, red pepper and egg recipe do require several steps that will have you swapping out pans, but it's good (and plentiful!) enough to be worth it. All of the packaging is recyclable (and even has handy reminders like "Recycle me!" with instructions on the package.
