So, Rob. Gousto - verdict?

It's pretty good. There are a fair amount of options to choose from, the instructions are easy to follow and on the whole they turn out very nicely. I'd say it's worth a go if you're interested in trying some cuisines you wouldn't normally know how to cook, or wouldn't have the required ingredients. We have been scoring each meal too, and the lowest one has been a 6/10 - they're mostly 7-7.5/10.

Lemony orzo primavera with toaste pine nuts for us tonight (gousto recipe). Reasonable but not mind-blowing - 6.5/10.

I like paneer in curry. We do it with peas.

This one could probably have done with peas and a slightly milder sauce - it was hard to appreciate the paneer in it since you couldn't taste it!

A bit like tofu, it doesn't really have a strong flavour.

Cheese on toast for dinner.

Vegetable chow mein (take away) for tea.

That was last night.

Hahaha. Not last night, I'd eaten so much during the day I did without, but I'll have some next time.

Lunch: quiche and salad.
Tea: no idea! Mrs N. is cooking and it's a surprise.

Sunday dinner was a lamb grillsteak (Sainsburys), mashed potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and gravy.

Lunch: quiche and salad.
Tea: no idea! Mrs N. is cooking and it's a surprise.

Mrs N.'s surprise is that she's too tipsy to weild a kitchen-knife so it's dirty take-away pizza.
