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!

I have applied for this and hope I get picked, at the moment life is very hectic and we don't always have the time to cook great meals and resort to the freezer for quickness. I hope we get picked as we all love cooking and would be great to spend time together as a family enjoy cooking and eating together. Also would love to do a review on my blog.

Would love to try these- we've tried several of the recipe box schemes like Abel and Cole, Marley Spoon and Mindful Chef, and I love it when we do get them as it totally takes the head space out of the meal planning. That for me is the main bit that makes dinner a chore- planning what to have.
We have never found one which ticks all the boxes so it would be great to find one that did.

@ HelpfulHermione

Oh would live to see some pics :)

I think I got a good Groupon deal for Hello Fresh years ago and then just kinda stuck with them, so this campaign would be a great way to test out the competition. You've certainly interested me with the fact that Gousto have more spicy flavoursome mess, I love a bit of spice!

We already get this box, just popping in to say how awesome it is! Even if you're not chosen I'd definitely say you should order one.
We tend to stick to the same meals again and again but this box switches it up a little bit. Lots of foods that aren't always in your local supermarket! We love it!!
They also change the meals up every now and again (I'd like to say every two weeks but not 100% certain) so you never get the same meals twice but you have the recipe card so you can make it again if you want.

This is such a great idea! I love to cook and try new recipes. We love strong flavours in our household and I get so fed up trying to be imaginative 7 days a week!! A little help would be wonderful.

Ooooh, yes please! We are a family of four with a fussy eater amongst us (ds), so I'm thinking that this might be an excellent way of getting him to try more foods, by helping to unpack, look at the ingredients and cook the recipes.

@Candyperfumegirl here's today's lunch.

There's potatoes and chicken too.

I'll let you know how it turns out!!

I love the gousto boxes and tell anyone who talks about what they are having for dinner. I don’t get them on subscription through I order when I need them which is normally every week.

Done! There are 4 adults in our house- 2 of whom will be moving out shortly to set up home with their partners. It would be great to try out new recipes.

I've made a lot of delicious meals using the Gousto recipes online but have never ordered an actual box so I'd love to be chosen.

Just got an email to say I’ve been chosen - thank you!
It says in the email to choose one but preferably two Annabel Karmel recipes but I can only find one on the site!
Am I doing something wrong?

Ive been picked but I’m not happy that I have to enter my bank details to order.

I know it says the subscription will be cancelled but I’m a bit 🤔 about it?

Survey completed. I really hope I get picked for this... we love home cooked food but sometimes get stuck in a rut of making the same things. Would be fab to get some new ideas and try some new recipes Smile
