How It Works

Step 1: Browse & Select Your Meals

Choose from our wide selection of gourmet prepared meals, including comfort food classics, special diet options, and budget-friendly dinners. No subscription required—just pick what you need.

Step 2: Enter Recipient Details

Enter your recipient's shipping address in the 48 contiguous United States, or send the order to yourself. Add a personal gift message at checkout.

Step 3: Review Delivery Options

Check our Delivery Dates & Shipping Schedule before ordering, then choose from the shipping methods available for your order at checkout. Timing depends on the products, shipping method, and current schedule.

Step 4: Follow the Storage and Preparation Instructions

Frozen meals are packed with dry ice in insulated packaging. When the order arrives, follow the included handling, storage, and preparation instructions. Requirements vary by product, and some items require cooking rather than reheating.

• Product-specific preparation instructions, including cooking steps where required.
• Insulated packaging with dry ice, shipped via FedEx or UPS
• Step-by-step heating instructions included with every meal
• Safe handling labels and dry ice disposal instructions
• Personalized gift message for gift orders
• No membership fees, no subscriptions, no monthly billing—pay only for what you order
