That's why our menu spans everything from Indonesian Rendang and Jamaican Stew Chicken to Italian Lasagne and British classics, with new dishes added every week. How it works: Sign up to a weekly subscription, choose a box of 6, 8, 10 or more meals from our rotating menu, and receive them frozen at your door via DPD. Meals are ready in 3 to 8 minutes in the microwave or oven. You can skip weeks, pause, or cancel any time through your account. Our meals are: - Cooked by independent chefs in registered UK kitchens - Frozen for freshness, no artificial preservatives added by us - Portioned as single servings, ideal for busy people, families, and anyone looking to eat well without cooking - Priced from £7.60 per meal, with free shipping on your first order We started as a London Facebook group connecting chefs with food lovers, grew to 30,000 members in months, and today deliver nationwide.

HomeCooks offer a lovely selection of Vegetarian meals from many types of cuisine. I enjoy the eco packaging they come in and that they are delivered in good condition and on time. I removed one star as they do not include any British type Vegetarian meals, eg Cottage pie, Vegetarian roast dinner, Veggie Sausage mash, Root Vegetable casserole etc

Hi Jane,

Thank you so much for the kind review, and really fair feedback on the British vegetarian gap. I'll pass it on to our chef team so we can look at expanding that side of the range.

I will wait and let you know once I have received my food

A lovely taste

Just received my first order and tried the Lithuanian meal first. As someone from Lithuania, I was really curious — and it genuinely tasted lovely! Great flavours, nicely presented and a really nice idea behind the meals. Looking forward to trying the other five! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The meals have been great

The meals have been great. I found microwaving can make them a bit disappointing, things like rice tend to clump together in a solid lump, and I wish they would make a recommendation about whether to microwave or oven cook for each meal but otherwise can't fault them.
