Meisterdish – Delivering Urban Home Cooking

April 1, 2017 by Denise Courter

 

Meisterdish - Delivering Urban Home Cooking

FiDi Families was recently invited by downtown Mom, Stella Leo, founder of FabGabblog to test out a new food delivery service, with a twist. Meisterdish is a gourmet delivery with the food portioned out and delivered in simple packaging with easy to follow recipes. So, instead of ordering unhealthy delivery options from your takeout spot, you are able to order restaurant quality food and cook it in the comfort of your own home. And, with the ingredients pre-measured and the recipes easy to follow, its a great alternative to ordering in and instead, cooking healthy and delicious meals at home. 

Meisterdish - Delivering Urban Home Cooking

We had a large group of bloggers and influencers meet up at the Jenn-Air test kitchen and were invited to break up into teams to try out this new concept and find out if it was easy as we were told it would be. My group chose a gourmet recipe that I personally love and have never tried to make at home – Chicken Milanese & arugula her salad. It was actually very easy to prepare and delicious. In all honesty, I don’t know that it was as tasty as what I get at Da Claudio, but it was a very close second.

The team behind Meisterdish are intent on providing healthy and delicious restaurant grade meals to NYC. Some of the other attendees were able to cook the following and all received rave reviews: 

  • Mediterranean Chicken Couscous with Shiitake Mushrooms, Fresh Herbs & Sundried Tomatoes
  • White Truffle Linguine with 7 Pepper Seasoning, Summer Squash & Shiitake Mushrooms
  • Pad See Ew with Chicken, Chinese broccoli and cashew nuts

There are many menu options to choose from and we love the fact that it is not a subscription based program. Plus, we really appreciated the prepped ingredients so we really didn’t have to think too much about what we were doing. It was really simple. We are hoping that Mesiterdish makes its way downtown to our FiDi Families soon. But, I’m a convert and loved it. 

We are also introduced to special guests Hope McGrath, a transformational life coach and stylist as well as Sonal Patel, founder of Card a Mom App – a curated friend matching app, that connects moms for playdates and conversations.

Personal Trainer Food Program – Delivered to your door!

February 15, 2017 by Denise Courter

 

Personal Trainer Food Program - Delivered to your door!

Living in New York City usually means that you are living a busy life, full of work, a busy social life and little time to prepare healthy meals. At least, that is how it is in my household and the one area that tends to fall by the wayside is fitness and eating healthy. So, when I was asked to test out the Personal Trainer Food program, I was really excited. 

It is essentially a healthy meal plan that is delivered to your door with all of the condiments, proteins and snacks, ready to heat and eat. I will admit that the full 28-day plan with all meals and snacks provided was overwhelming. I didn’t realize that it would take over my refrigerator and freezer, in one delivery. However, now that I have experienced the service, I have a better idea on what I would eat and how to order. There is a super simply menu to choose from and you have the option of purchasing the 14 day or 28 day menu plan. Since I have kids and am out the door early, I tend to eat a lite breakfast and its almost always on the go. So, though the omelettes and crepes were delicious, I plan to stick to the lunch and dinner plan. 

The biggest surprise so far, has been the interest of my family in the meals. They see some of the great food that I’m eating such as grilled chicken and steam veggies and they want some. So, I really love that happy accident because my family is taste testing and enjoying healthy food. The food is flash frozen and directions are included. I also appreciate the fact that you don’t need to shop for any additional items for the recipes. Everything you need is included. 

FiDi Families Insiders: Enter promo code PTFMOMS125 to receive $125 off the program cost. 

So far, so good and very excited to be a part of this healthy food program!
