Around The World With Bernard Matthews

I quite regularly pick up a few packets of precooked meat when doing the weekly food shop as they are ideal for sandwiches, mixed with salads or served with jacket potatoes. I'd never really thought about using them as the protein in our family dinners however, but I was challenged to do so by Bernard Matthews in their Around The World in Five Days challenge so I thought I'd give it a go!

The idea was to serve a different themed meal each evening for 5 consecutive days using different types of turkey pieces (you can try using your leftover turkey at Christmas too if you wanted). The recipes and food was provided, along with some props, and we actually discovered just how versatile the turkey is, with one meal in particular making its way onto our meal planner quite frequently since.

Marley Spoon Review

When it comes to meal planning each week I can often feel a little bit lost. The same handful of dinners seem to be stuck on replay and I'm concerned exciting new dishes might not impress the family! When I was approached to try Marley Spoon, a service where chefs design the menu then deliver the recipes and ingredients directly to your door, I was eager to give it a go. The food looked far too tempting to resist and it took the hassle away from a trip to the supermarket.

 

 

 

Ordering is so simple. You select the size package you require from 1, 2 or 3 meals and the number of people you need meals for from 2, 4, 6 or 8. You enter your postcode and email, your address and preferred delivery date followed by your payment information then your package will arrive between 9am and 5pm on your chosen day. You can even choose which specific recipes you would like to receive and easily eliminate those that don't appeal to your taste.
