Gousto has asked us to find 100 Mumsnetters to test one of their recipe boxes. Testers will be sent a family box of four meals (for four people) to try out with their family and will then be asked to leave feedback on a thread on Mumsnet. Two of the four meals selected will be recipes from a new family-friendly range launched in partnership with Annabel Karmel.

Here’s what Timo Boldt, CEO and Founder of Gousto says: “For people who want to cook and enjoy good food together but don’t always have the time, ingredients or know-how to do it well, Gousto delivers simple ways to (re) discover the joys of cooking, so you can choose what you want, cook it with confidence and enjoy sharing it with others.

Taking the hassle out of planning, shopping and cooking, Gousto delivers up to 4 meals for the week with the ingredients and recipe ready to make, so there’s no more ‘what’s for dinner’ panic.

This month, we’ve launched a 3-month partnership with family cooking expert, Annabel Karmel to introduce 20 additional family-friendly recipes to our menu. Supporting busy families with tried-and-tested, nutritionally balanced meals, proven to suit fussy eaters, including Heavenly Hidden Veg Bolognese and Mouthwatering Veggie Mac & Cheese – the new recipes will allow you to enjoy cooking dishes which suit everyone around the dinner table.

Each recipe uses Gousto’s fresh, quality ingredients – including 100% British meat, sustainable fish and free-range eggs from trusted suppliers – allowing you to know what’s in every meal and feel confident you’re feeding your family well.”

If selected, you’ll be given a unique discount code to place an order for a box (free of charge). Gousto is a subscription service, so testers will be required to create an account. However, Gousto’s customer care team will prevent the subscription from continuing automatically. You’ll then need to test the recipe box as a part of your daily routine and give your feedback on a thread on Mumsnet.

Testing will be for orders placed on the Gousto website on 10th October or 23rd October, with deliveries taking place between the 14th or 27th October. Please only sign up if you’re available to test at this time.

Please click here to apply.

All selected testers who give the required feedback will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher.

Thanks and good luck!

Have applied! Would be really great to give it a try, we have a fussy four year old who is slowly changing her ways and she would find this very exciting. Fingers crossed!

Hatethinkingofusernames82 · 26/09/2017 19:12

Ah this would be amazing! Think I'd feel a bit like a celeb getting a box of food delivered. Pick me please!!

Candyperfumegirl · 26/09/2017 19:41

@Mumsnet - will thereceive be vegetarian options included?

muminthecity · 26/09/2017 21:02

I'd love to try this - have signed up

KikisDeliveryService · 26/09/2017 21:24

I would love to be picked for this!

Whyisitsodifficult · 26/09/2017 21:29

All vegetarians here can we apply?

Feargalthecat · 26/09/2017 22:42

Done. Would love to be chosen I'd love some new inspiration for winter recipes.

TellMeItsNotTrue · 26/09/2017 23:28

Done, we are stuck in a rut with our meals at the moment, I could do the push and inspiration to try something new and hopefully add to our meal plans

duzzlightyearsmum · 26/09/2017 23:42

I've applied so fingers crossed! We're definitely stuck in a recipe rut so some new ideas would be great!

Stephgr8 · 27/09/2017 00:00

I would love to take part (husband and kids would love it too!)

31weeksgone · 27/09/2017 00:35

Applied; would love to try this.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 27/09/2017 09:41

Would really like to give this a try.

JustineBMumsnet · 27/09/2017 12:55

Hi @Whyisitsodifficult & @Candyperfumegirl

Thanks for your questions on taking part as a vegetarian - we've added a question on this in the sign up survey, but if you've already applied please get in contact - either via PM or emailing [email protected] - to let us know you're a vegetarian (or about any other specific dietary requirements!) as if you're selected we may need to send you different instructions to other testers.

I feel like I cook the same half a dozen meals over and over again. If I try to be adventurous I end up spending a fortune on specific ingredients I don't have in my cupboard (e.g. Japanese rice wine vinegar...) and it becomes a real chore.
I don't mind cooking, it's the deciding what to make and shopping for ingredients that I find dull. This sounds like it could be the answer for us.

EllieQ · 27/09/2017 13:23

Done. We're still cooking the same meals we cooked as students (spag bol, risotto, etc), and while toddler DD enjoys them, it would be nice to have ideas for something new.

Dormouse1940 · 27/09/2017 15:01

Oooh this'd be fab. I've recently rediscovered my enjoyment of home-cooking (now I have far more opportunity!) but my repertoire is a bit tired so I'd love to try something new

GhostsToMonsoon · 27/09/2017 15:03

I think these boxes would be great for self-catering cottages. Could there be some kind of partnership between Gousto/Hello Fresh and, for example, Cottages4you?

SteampunkPrincess · 27/09/2017 17:53

This could be fun, I don't do cooking at all, dh does it all

VinIsGroot · 27/09/2017 18:54

Pick me please ...mumto 2 disabled kids

claza93 · 27/09/2017 19:30

Fab! My favourite hobby - eating!!

Muchtoomuchtodo · 27/09/2017 20:43

Fingers crossed.
We've been umming and ahing about trying these for ages. This might help us to make our minds up!

PepeLePew · 27/09/2017 20:52

Sounds great. Work is crazy and I still need to come home and feed the family. We like trying new things and I'm trying to get the teens to cook a bit more so this would be good for them!

CottonEyedJoe · 27/09/2017 22:55

Done! Hope I'm picked Grin

HappydaysArehere · 28/09/2017 09:24

I wonder how much it costs to sign up in the normal way!

Mimozaaa · 28/09/2017 14:18

How exciting. We would love to try this box 😋
