A week on LIDL after this Mike lad 👍🏻👍🏻
IDEA A week on soups and stews. Fall is coming for timing. Homemade in your soup cooker or ready mix stuff.
Oooooooo yes!!
Their mushroom and thyme rissotto is really good as well. One of the nice things is that you get to keep the recipe cards and you can then just make whatever you want afterwards. Just buy the ingredients. I also suggest the mozzerella, tomato jam, zucchinni pannini.
I tried Hello Fresh recently and it was good to have new meal suggestions. However I just couldn't justify the price. If I took the meal cards and bought the ingredients in Aldi I would have probably spent a third. Also consider what happens if you are not at home when the delivery arrives. Mine was left in the street in the rain ( not Hello Fresh 's fault but still annoying).
Hello Drenched
I thought it was like a cooler inside? I heard it was supposed to stay good for the day as long as it’s not in the sun (doesn’t help it getting rained on). But I’ve never ordered before. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time because I’ve never cooked anything before… not even something simple. I feel like it might be worth the price for a beginner like me because of the directions. But I haven’t seen too many vegetarian dishes.
@@manda.watching.UA-cam Yeah it comes with ice packs in a bag to keep it cool for 24 hours
You should do a week on … to good to go look it up buddy
Hello Mike and grace fabulous to see you back on my favourite weekon.im going to pay particular attention to this week on I have heard quite a bit about hello fresh but I was never to sure about it.now thanks to you I will see what the food is really like.so a huge thank you for this I'm genuinely looking forward to it! Peace and love 💛
I was so worried when Basil wasn't there throughout the video. Your meal looks lovely, thanks for doing this, I've been tempted to try it in the past, going to have to give it a go after I saw your lovely dinner.
Yes another week on looking forward to this week 🤗
when are you going to give us a guided tour of your New house tour then Mike.? how is basil doing Mike. 🐈 🐾
I thought that’s what he was going to do when he said about something much requested and hotly anticipated.
He kind of already has
Always love a week on
So excited for this. And no need to apologise for possibly overstating the requests for this week on. You never have to apologise because unlike others, I’ve never had to hear you say “A lot of you have been asking about my skincare routine.”
I can imagine him doing a satire of that around his actual skin condition.
Absolutely love your week ons,
He is back! Love you and Grace(Basil ofc)! Keep it up
Glad to a new week on thanks for sharing Mike and gracie yay we gets to see basil😁😁
Great review, i have actually written the recipe down, and will continue doing so, lol, Thankyou.
Wow looks fab Mike great effort made from u and gracie👏👏
A week isn't a week on without the gorgeous Basil😚🐈⬛🖤🐾
A week on greggs!
Yay a new week on.
Hello Fresh is good for people who are too busy to go to the market to get groceries or somebody wanting to try out different types of foods or cooking methods.
For everybody else it's terribly expensive for what you actually get but you keep the recipe cards for when you actually want to make those things on your own.
Anyone else get a Hello fresh ad before the video started 😂
Glad to see this, quite keen to find some kind of meal service.
Yay another week on I always get excited when I see these and also I get to see Grace and Basil as well hope you are feeling better Mike, I am thinking of having Hello Fresh again they are quite healthy meals and I am going on a health kick after my holiday
Good idea! Did anyone else have a hello fresh ad before this video? 😂😄
My friend in work used hello fresh. She brought in leftovers. I had the red lentil & spinach dal. I downloaded the recipe and now make batches of the stuff for myself and my Mum too. So easy and tastes great. Lentils, passata, curry paste, stock, shallots, garlic & spinach. Use mainly frozen bits...so easy...#notspon
Got a hello fresh advert as the pre roll for this video, appropriate!
cheers mate, I absolutely love the videos where you cook from a recipe with instructions and shit.
hope cathy mitchell does another volume on Dump ephemera
Love the Bubble Bobble cab!
I've got an orig 80's generic cab running MAME.. need to get a new jamma board though.
I got to level 72 once... got lucky on the umbrellas.. 🤓
I did Hello Fresh for a while but like a lot of comments, it was difficult to justify the cost for me personally although most of the dishes were really tasty. As it's just me, I would buy the 3 meal box and get 6 days out of it, but like you found with the risotto, some recipes I could definitely get a third portion from. Looking forward to catching up on the rest of the week so far!
YESSSSS a new week on. I'm not joking Mike when I say it's the show/video/media we most look forward to in this house
Your teeth look great Mike! I know the trays were painful, but your smile is even better than it was before!
The ad in the video? Yep, Hello Fresh 🤣
Such a great couple 💑
And Grace is gorgeous
As an Italian i can tell you that that is not risotto, risotto is made by adding the stock bit by bit. That's boiled rice. But meals look nice
You have to try a "real" risotto in a good restaurant! It is so delicious! There is a big difference in the preparation for a genuine risotto. It's made on the stovetop only and liquid is added in small amounts at a time on low to med. with constant stiring. It makes for a much creamy consistency.😊
Hurts to watch "risotto" be prepared like that. Not sure why they wouldn't tell you how to do it properly.
😩 As a chef I’m crying, screaming about the Risotto, you’re supposed to have a separate pot of warm broth and add it in one cup at a time while stirring until it’s all absorbed, then repeat. It takes about 20-30 minutes for the Risotto.
Crying too
I feel the exact same way. Pot of hot stock simmering on the stove and adding it in slowly until it thickens, rinse and repeat until its a creamy texture, then add in a generous amount of butter and some hard cheese such as parmisan. A little bit of effort but totally worth it. Risotto also reheats well so I make enough for 2 nights and just reheat in the microwave
@@cazzadeathgirl - I soak Porcini mushrooms in the warmed broth to rehydrate, so I get a rich mushroom stock and add that to the Risotto, then I remove the porcini mushrooms and chop then add to the finished risotto. It’s wonderful.
@@10191927 this sounds delicious, mushrooms are something I really enjoy. I'll keep a look out for dried mushrooms and try this
Literally doing Hello Fresh this week... only because it's 50% off first box... gonna try and do the recipes with supermarket shop like Aldi or Lidl because the cost shoots up for Hello Fresh.
No way could I afford it, looked amazing though, Gracie has lost so much weight since I started watching you, you’re looking really good Mike
Gonna look forward to the rest of the week
Some of these are high effort and can take up to 45 minutes. Me: hides the beef ragu that I simmered for 8 hours, and the potato terrine that I spent 1hour on preparing, 2 hours on cooking and 14 hours of chilling. Yes I might be a chef but these 2 are quite simple they just take time.
I looked at it, but they don't deliver to the Highlands of Scotland 😞In fact, none of these 'food' companies do. Hope you get plenty of kickbacks though.
People keep asking for it, so here's a week long ad!
I used to make Risotto in the restaurant at the cooking school I went to. It wasn't a baked Risotto, I've had loads of them but cooked on the job.
Wtf 🤣 I just got my hello fresh box today and searched your name yo see if you've none a week on hello fresh yet and here you are doing it this week!
I did hello fresh for a few weeks, and it was honestly not too bad.
Poor Basil didn’t get any chicken 🤣
Just had a hello fresh advert..
I’ve tried both Hello Fresh and Gousto and prefer the latter, although there’s not much in it
Oh no! You got food poisonning on your honeymoon too? I was lucky, as I was sick only the last day of our trip, but man, that was no fun at all! I ate a paella in this lovely and quaint little restaurant by the sea, but one of the mussels in it was bad, so yeah, not fun memories. Since then, I haven't been able to eat fish or seafood without being sick. I can manage a bite or two, and I can still have Worcestershire sauce and even the tiniest amount of fish sauce, but no more paella for this lady. :(
So is this going to be a week on Grace cooking or are you actually gonna have a bash at cooking one yourself Mike ? 😅
How do you order for 7 days. Can you do it on one account as it only gives option for 5 days. Or do you order over two accounts?
That's defo not the way I cook Risotto? Or seen it cooked this way lol. Normal Risotto you gradually add the stock in small stages and wait till the rice absorbs it and then add some more and keep doing it until all the stock is gone and rice cooked perfectly. To me this is just baked rice not really Risotto - a bit of false advertising lol
Exactly! Or at least leave the the rice on the stove and wait for it to absorb the stock. What’s the point of putting it in the oven?
So people like Mike have less of a chance to mess it up lol
I agree My dad is a chef and nearly fainted when he found out hello fresh recommend this way of cooking risotto 😂😂 xxhe said it's offensive to Italy 😂🤦🏻♀️ xx
A week on lettered food only 😂😂
Is it worth it to try with the 65% discount?
love seeing Mike’s wife
They need to have a strictly-carnivore version called Hello Flesh…
A week on grace meaning she could choose all her favorite meals for you so breakfast snacks di er you have no say in it or the portion size 😉
Do they send literally everything you need for the meal.. as in I'm not going to realise I need to pop shop for some weird herb or sauce or something?
Dang! I'm hungry!
Here's a Week On that the missus has NO problem joining in on.
I work or hello fresh nowadays at the 2 Sisters food group in Llangefni Anglesey. I've handled your chicken!
I used them to learn cooking after 51 years. :D You can at first totally focus on the preparation of the meals without having to shop for everything yourself. The quality of everything was pretty good and I actually now enjoy preparing my own meals, after a day of scripting stuff it's great to "come down".
I did it for the last four months and now am ending it, this week will actually be the last packet. From now on I'll re-cook my favourite stuff from them and also try other dishes. That's another thing with HF - keep the instructions and you end up with your own cooking book and you know how everything in there tastes. :)
I'm interested in this after seeing so many ads for Hello Fresh
Wish they sold skin-on chicken breasts in the supermarket.
I've never really seen the appeal of Hello Fresh to be honest. I've looked into it a few times but I just don't see who its really for. Because I mean if you like cooking, there's lots of easy recipes online and in books etc and you could just order your ingredients online on any supermarket website or even Deliveroo so the convenience isn't really there either. Then there's the cost so it doesn't really save money either. If anything I do like that its all portioned to avoid waste but other than that I am just not sold on it. Could just use a meal prep company and have everything done for you.
I found they've been the perfect way for me (surely not for everybody) to finally learn cooking at over 30 years of ready made and fast food meals. I was able to focus on the cooking part at first without having to worry and coordinate where to get what from. If you have never done that before, it can seem a bit overwhelming. (I know, 1st world problems, right?).
Now I have a cooking book full of meals I know I *can* cook and what they taste like and I re-cook whole meals or parts of them with self bought stuff. I learned a bunch of things I can now do from the top of my head, without instructions - like making some quick salad sauces that actually taste nice. I learned some tiny things right along with the rest - like giving sunflowerseeds a short roast in the pan before you put them in a salad. Yum.
And last week I cooked my first two "non HF meals" with recepies from the net.
I used them 4 months or so, the cost is somewhere between buying everything yourself and ordering out, quality is good. So for me it totally had a use. :)
IF, however, cooking isn't something new for you and you also have the time to shop yourself and where to get stuff and all that there isn't really a reason for the service, that's true. Except maybe for trying out meals without having to buy some bulk ingredients you then have to throw away, because it turns out you don't like it at all.
Did u get the new client discount…..
Go the shops they have it all there thing is you just have think for ya self for an HR
Yeah sure Hello Fresh looks good and it probably tastes very good but I'm not rolling in that UA-cam ad revenue and sponsorship money so I can't spend 9 euros on a meal on the regular, and that's for the 6 meal deal (3 meals is more like 12 euros).
Is it weird I panicked when I saw you pour all the stock into the risotto at once? I was always told slowly add when absorbed and never stop stirring. A risotto for me can take around an hour to make and that means a full hour of stirring
A week on spar shop food and drink???
It's meant to have a lot more moisture which you destroyed putting it in the oven
Hello fresh creates so much package wastes that any food waste it saves is completely negligible D: Also from when i tried it, it really just comes down to heating some veggies, heating some meat then using the prepacked sauce to make the rest of the meal.
No basil?
Misses and me did this for about a month, had to give up because of the missing items from the box, how can you have a sausage casserole when you don't send the sausages
I just recently got hello fresh for the first time this past week. Got 4 meals and 2 of them were really good and 2 of them were average. Disappointingly, they left out certain ingredients that were supposed to be included with some of these meals, and they also gave us chicken instead of pork for some reason on one of them (also one of the chicken packets got pierced during shipping and made the things in the box all sticky). Seems like a quality control issue. Not saying this happens to everyone, but that was my experience with them :/
@Meiloe good to know, thanks!
Not enough plant based options or i'd use them. Gousto are good. X
Really? I thought they had a vegan plan.
You are using a drizzle of oil (olive, canola, vegetable) in the pan before you saute or fry anything, like the instructions say, I hope?
Can u do a week on the Asda. Range ?
Wait... is that @Atomic Shrimp in the background foraging?
Alphabites. Alphabites. Alphabites. Alphabites.
A true risotto needs the liquid stirred in a little at a time to become creamy. Not sure why the instructions had you add at one time and oven cook, that's basically just cooked rice.
Please do A Week On Ulcer Diet
Arcade machine?
I did hello fresh for about 6 months and by the end of it I felt all the joy of cooking had been sucked up
some of the meals lacked enough sauce and a lot of meals felt a bit the same that being said i do have about 80 recipe cards if i do ever get suck for meal ideas
Do they have quantities on the recipe cards?
@@gary-qg4vs they do but i feel like they could give us more ingredients for the sauce
Do they take food stamps?
The risotto needs to be looser.
is hello fresh wurth the praase
Surprise surprise gracey doing most of the work again lazy mike
I tried to go on the site but it said it expired
They aren’t upholding your offer you’re putting out sadly
I’ve heard the same thing from other tubers, you do a video and get a link then ….
I wonder if this review is untrustworthy since he did put an affiliated link of hello fresh in the description
I can't get Hello Fresh because I live in the region of outer space known as the Scottish Highlands.
Have you ever thought of getting Basil another cat friend?
Grace you are so pretty x
That's what you get for going to KFC on your honeymoon lol
the chicken portions where not of equal size. you should look at the cost of hello fresh vs just buying the items to make it yourself.
when you look at the 2 people for 4 days is almost £40. making each day being £10. I am very sure if you just go buy the items yourself you will be able to make 3 meals a day for 2 for £10
May be you should set a £10 a day budget for 2 to 3 meals as a challenge.
That is not risotto .lol
Announce 1080p
I used to do Hello Fresh too, but unlike a lot of the comments, it wasn't the price that eventually put us off but the repetitiveness of the menu choices. After a while, you start to notice the same options appearing every 4,5-6 weeks so ended up getting bored of it.
Just as an FYI, you don't fucking bake risotto.
I wish I could afford Hello Fresh, but it's definitely not for low income families. It's more of a luxury service. I did, however, take one of the recipes from their website and buy the ingredients myself (at a much lower cost) and make it. It was the "Classic Beef Chili" recipe and it was absolutely delicious. I thought using Poblano peppers would make it too spicy, but it was very well balanced.
I would actually recommend anyone thinking of using this service to instead go to the Hello Fresh recipes page, make a list of meals for the week, then just go buy the stuff yourself. It's a tiny bit more work, but it's hundreds of dollars cheaper.
Awww tried getting one of the recipes. They tell you what ingredients you need but not the amount 😞
@@Bessie66 Try looking at the recipe pages on their own website. They might've updated since you've been there because it now shows all of the amounts you need. And they have quite a lot of nice ones, I must admit.
Just look online as there is plenty of cooking recipes out there you don't need Hello fresh to look for recipes.
@@Lilly_Belle ahh Thankyou blue 👍
It is a luxury aimed at people who work long hours and can afford a little extra (at that point, time becomes more important than money).
If this is sponsored its going to be expensive
