Hands up if you aren’t keen on thinking up this week’s dinner menu, buying the ingredients, and then feeling bad when you have to toss the food waste in the bin a few days down the line.

We see you, and we feel you, because every now and again you just need somebody to do the hard yards for you.

That’s where the team at Daily Dish enter the picture, and co-owner Diane de Villiers knows all about that struggle. She started the business back in 2012, when she was working 12-hour days and couldn’t find time to prepare tasty and nutritious meals for her family during the week.

Since then, Daily Dish has gone from strength to strength, and each week they now offer six different menus to choose from, with each menu featuring four meals (for two people or four people, depending on your needs).

Family Box, Classic Box, Banting Box, Veggie Box, Goodie Box and Pork-Free Box – something for everyone.

Each Monday, the highest quality and freshest ingredients required to make the meals are delivered to your door, perfectly measured out to avoid the guilt of food wastage.

A handy recipe card describes exactly how to prepare the meal, and then you just handle the cooking and eating.

You have until Wednesday, January 20, to order your Dinner Box for the following Monday, January 25, so let’s look at the menu options this week.

Added bonus – order here and score R250 off your first Dinner Box with 2oceansvibe. Yum.

First up is the Family Box:

I need those sweet potato stacks in my life.

Pro tip – hang on to the recipe cards (I’d suggest you go full nerd and pop them in a flip file), and you’ll end up with a number of new dishes added to your repertoire.

Next up is the Classic Box:

Look at you, cooking pilafs these days like a pro.

Before the vegetarians out there lose interest, feast your eyes on the Veggie Box (which was previously the Vegan Box):

I know peeps like to dabble in the Meat-Free Monday, but if you’re looking for a convenient and tasty way to eat vegetarian for a week, you can’t go wrong with that box above.

One of the major pluses of all the boxes is the portion control, with meals perfectly balanced. If you’re a fan of the Banting diet, then the Banting Box will hit the spot:

That’s a pizza with just 12 grams of carbs per serving – boom.

To finish, there’s the Goodie Box:

And the Pork-Free Box:

Four meals that usually take around 30 minutes to prepare, with all of the ingredients delivered to your door, and not a single foot set inside a shop, waiting in the queue whilst the octogenarian in front of you decides to pay all of their monthly bills in one go.

Why do they always pick the ’10 items or less’ queue to do so?

Anyway, enough about that, because if you’re hopping on board the Daily Dish train, that’s a thing of the past.
