Chef’s Plate Review – Asiago & Pesto Flatbreads

Chef’s Plate is a subscription service that delivers chef-designed recipes and fresh ingredients each week. There is no subscription or membership fee to join.

Have you tried Chef’s Plate yet? If not, you really need to. This is a recipe delivery service for us Canadians. It is similar to Hello Fresh & Blue Apron which are US-based recipe delivery services. I get a Chef’s Plate delivery every week and it has completely transformed my dinner game. If it weren’t for Chef’s Plate the BF and I would be living on spaghetti and takeout. Our lives are pretty hectic right now, and there’s absolutely NO way I would have time to grocery shop, and meal plan on my own.

Here’s a look at one of the recipes I made for the BF last week. I try to order Vegan friendly recipes as often as I can, but I also order regular recipes for him…….he’s a big guy, I can’t expect him to live on tofu and salad….
