Co-founders Myles and Giles go head to head cooking our Rump steak with roasted peppers and artichokes! The Challenge: Who will save more time, food waste and money?
Time
All of our healthy recipes are created in-house by Chef Louisa and take less than 30 minutes from prep to plate. This speedy summer recipe took just 21 minutes vs 34 minutes for the shop-bought version. The reason being, with a Mindful Chef recipe box, not only do you cut out shopping time but prep is also faster, as all the ingredients are pre-measured.
Food Waste
Each year 15 million tonnes of food is wasted in the UK alone, 4.2 tonnes of which is edible! We are tackling this problem head on by sending out pre-measured ingredients, leaving you with zero food waste when you cook with Mindful Chef.
In the particular comparison, the supermarket equivalent lead to 1.4kg of leftovers – this was a mix of perishables and cupboard items, like herbs and spices, many of which we are guilty of not touching again.
Cost
Our rump steak with roasted peppers and artichokes costs £17 for two people, when purchasing like for like ingredients in the supermarket our food bill came to £27.75. That doesn’t even account for ‘extras’ that end up in our shopping trolley.
Whilst some of the additional produce may be used in other meals, the average family still throws out £700 of food every year, proving waste is likely from a supermarket shop.
One Feeds Two
For every Mindful meal sold, we donate a school meal to a child living in poverty through our partner charity One Feeds Two. We’re the first recipe box in the UK to be pioneering this one for one model and together with our customers we’ve already donated over 400,000 meals!
