Shirley: 'Before the Allerhande Box was launched, an Albert Heijn meal box seemed useful to me. What a luxury:having your groceries delivered together with your meal box, so no extra visit to the supermarket.

In practice, that turned out to be as ideal as it sounds. The meal box comes with the Albert delivery service, which means that you can have your package delivered from Monday to Saturday. You can choose from different time slots. With my office working hours it was even possible to have the box delivered before working hours.

The Allerhande box looks neat. The ingredients are chilled, fresh and the herbs are included in small bags. I thought it a luxury not to think about what to put on the table for three days. In addition, the Allerhande box is a good way to try new recipes and expand my repertoire. You can find the recipes in advance on the website, but you will also receive them with the box, printed on sturdy cards that you can easily keep. Very handy, because I will probably make two of the three recipes myself.'
