Hello Fresh gives the additional option of including a dessert with your Christmas dinner box

The Hello Fresh Christmas Box menu contains:

  • Butter-dipped turkey with fresh rosemary and lemon
  • Succulent pigs in blankets
  • Fluffy Rosemary Roasted Potatoes
  • Hazelnut bacon Brussels sprouts
  • Seasonal fill
  • Spiced red cabbage simmered
  • Purple sprout broccoli
  • Roasted Root Vegetables with Thyme and Sticky Maple
  • Rich festive sauce

Optional dessert:

  • Chocolate Orange Cheesecake Pots with Maple Hazelnut Crisp

  • Christmas cheese board

“When Hello Fresh approached me to test the box, not only were my family worried, they didn’t think I could do it. To be honest, I’ve seen how stressed my dad can get, so I doubted myself. culinary skills.But breaking the norm of baking banana bread and making candles like other people have perfected for closing, why couldn’t you try a roast?

Luckily the box comes with some incredibly clear instructions and all the ingredients weighed to perfection, with something odd that you have to measure yourself.

I took the approach to prep a few things the night before as suggested, but there is a run order in the back of the instruction manual if I wanted to make it all day of, which I would have done if I had actually been cooking. for my family or friends, instead of for me.

Who can resist roast potatoes?

You may have made too many potatoes by cutting them a little smaller than the suggested size, but this can vary depending on what size you receive inside your box once it arrives. But for me, the roasts are the best part.

Now you might be thinking ‘did you cook a meal for four for one?’ Yes. Yes, I do. And I was actually able to make six hearty Christmas dinner servings that are currently in my freezer, ready for when I want to eat one again. And in fact, I can’t wait because the food was really delicious without a piece of dried meat in sight.

I would honestly recommend this box to anyone cooking for a smaller gathering this year, with social distancing in mind. Once again, I was impressed with the quality of the ingredients, and for someone who is not usually a fan of Brussels, this might have been my favorite part of the dish. “

Hello Fresh aren’t the only ones taking the stress out of Christmas cooking, as Morrisons has released a Christmas dinner box for four and it’s available to buy online. The 16-piece box is designed to take the stress out of holiday shopping.
