Chef’s Plate Review – Purple Rice Stir-Fry

Their recipes begin at $10.95 per plate for the 2-Person Plan and $9.75 per plate for the Family Plan. A Year of Boxes pays for this subscription.

I have been reviewing Chef’s Plate on a regular basis for the last few months, and you all know I am obsessed with this meal delivery service. But for those of you who are new to the concept, here’s how it works:

1. Sign up for a subscription – delivery available to Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta & Manitoba
2. Choose the 2-person plan or the family plan
3. Choose to receive 2, 3 or 4 meals per week
4. Choose your delivery date – Tuesday or Friday
5. Choose your recipes
6. Receive your ingredients in a refrigerated box, portioned and with step-by-step cooking instructions

Here’s a look at one of my recipes from last week:
