If there’s anything we learned after living in the pandemic era
(and simply busy schedules), it’s that we’d sell our souls for meal kit services.

But not just any service. We want rich flavors, quick and easy meals and a variety of dinners, appetizers and more that keeps things interesting and delicious.

Luckily, Gobble is the meal kit that should be put on your radar (if it’s not already, that is). Not only is it one of our favorite meal delivery kits that we tested this year, but it’s also a destination for gourmet, freshly prepped 15-minute meals that is one of the best delights to appear on your doorstep.

“We out-cook our competitors through convenienceand flavor,” Danielle Platz, director of marketing at Gobble, told the New York Post. “Most meal kits specialize in one or the other, but Gobble does both. Our chefs do all the prep work—like simmering sauces, marinating meats, and chopping fresh vegetables—so that anyone can make a gourmet meal in 15 minutes.

What’s more, Gobble’s mission has always been to bring families together through its delicious food offerings. “We offer family-oriented options like Meal Kits for Four and Kid-Friendly recipes and were voted No. 1 Meal Kit by “Parents Magazine.” At the end of the day, we want something you can count on, and that’s eating home-cooked food with your loved ones.”

Not only does Gobble marry the convenience of takeout with the freshness, health and satisfaction of a home-cooked meal, but each of its recipes is carefully curated by Chef Thomas Ricci, a 30-year culinary expert.

Oh yes, you essentially have a personal sous chef from afar.

Some mouthwatering recipes include chicken scallopini with a creamy lemon garlic sauce and harvest rice medley, seared salmon with roasted brussels sprouts and a balsamic reduction and chicken tortilla soup.

And, if you want to know the tried-and-true favorites, see the curated list Gobble exclusively shared with us:

Not to mention, with some recipes, you have the option to personalize them, sometimes replacing shrimp for chicken or selecting a type of fish for dinner.

Plus, new seasonal menus are released weekly and include a slew of options that are sure to please your palate. From low-calorie options and global cuisine to comfort classics and vegetarian options (and kid-friendly meals) the restaurant-like quality you’re receiving in a customized manner is unmatched.

Each week, members select from 12 to 15 entrees, along with a rotating menu of sides, soups, salads, breakfasts, desserts and premium kits.

“Gobble has a strong mission to help busy families make dinnertime special again,” Platz adds. “We’re the only meal kit in the market that combines 15-minute cook times with quality, flavor, and homemade goodness. We don’t do preservatives or additives; we do fresh, restaurant-quality meals.”

Ahead, find a sampling of recipes you can find at Gobble. Please keep in mind that the menu changes, per the brand working with a chef to ensure wholesome, fresh meals will be added to your weekly dinner calendar:

“Our secret sauce is the sauce,” Platz notes. “We believe that good food begins with the highest-quality ingredients and that good ingredients make all the difference. We prep everything from premium sauces and compound butters to sous vide meats, so all you have to do is stir and serve.”

As far as pricing goes, Gobble meals are relatively affordable and start at $11.99 per serving. Members can select from two- or four-person plans (the latter a perfect solution to have leftovers for the week) and can choose from the Classic or Lean & Clean Plans:

“Gobble is all about flexibility,” Platz says. “We offer a range of options personalized to your taste and dietary preferences: Classic, Lean & Clean, and Vegetarian.” That said, whether you’re looking for plant-based recipes or lean proteins and rich flavors, you’ll always have complete access to the full menu — a menu that rotates and makes you excited for dinnertime.

More, Gobble offers premium dinners, meal kits for four (great for the family!), sides, soups, salads and — drumroll please — breakfast, too. 

Joining Gobble is easy. You select your meals and the service will deliver all the pre-prepped ingredients to your door. Impressively, Gobble uses AI to help hand-deliver your food.

“We’ve built an expert machine-learning algorithm to understand your meal and taste preferences over time,” Platz adds. “In other words, when you interact with Gobble — from browsing the menu to adding breakfasts and sides to adjusting your proteins — our AI will gather these insights and continue to develop your individual taste profile.”

As far as managing your account goes, Gobble offers another tier of personalization, allowing you to pick your meals to fit with your schedule. “Whether you’re going out of town or just out to dinner, you can pause your weekly box anytime,” Platz explains. “Some of our members will order boxes every week and others, every other week. What matters is that you’re in the driver’s seat.”

Gobble delivers nationwide, with the exception of Montana, Alaska, Hawaii, and with limited service to Nebraska, New Mexico, and Kansas

Like any venture, the first part is brainstorming. “As a team, we collectively imagine what kind of dishes our members would enjoy — whether the meals are new to their palette or reinvented from their favorite restaurant experiences,” Ricci told The Post. “Our menu focuses on seasonal ingredients, along with techniques acquired from our culinary team’s professional experiences.”   

Then, Gobble conducts extensive research into each component of the meal. “We ask ourselves, ‘how does this ingredient work in conjunction with other components of the meal?’ ‘Can it be enjoyed as is, or does it need to be less spicy, salty, or acidic to give the members the option to truly personalize the final step of cooking the meal?,’” Ricci notes. “Each palate is different, so we want to create a combination of components that fit the needs of most while adding ingredients that we predict will highlight or meet the expectations of others.”

Plus, once the brains and the flavor palette mix together, the taste-testing process is extensive before it’s available to recreate from your home kitchen. “Each meal is cooked a minimum of five times before it’s considered menu-ready,” Ricci explains. “Every day in the Gobble kitchen, our chefs analyze our recipes for accuracy in heat, timing and cooking equipment.”

Not to mention, the Gobble team is constantly assessing if certain ingredients are suitable to travel overnight and if it’s meal-user or kid-friendly.

When warmer temps arise, we’re thinking of cookouts, refreshing foods and light yet hearty meals. While Gobble offers fresh, seasonal ingredients on the menu year-round, this is the season where Gobble’s in-house team of chefs will be preparing its annual grill kits, which have always been top-sellers. This summer, our chefs will be prepping our annual grill kits, which have always been top-sellers. 

“You’ll find dishes like Grilled Lamb Chops with Romaine Salad & Italian Salsa Verde and Grilled Filet Mignon Kebabs with Turmeric Rice alongside seasonal sides like Summer Truffle Mac & Cheese, and Fougasse Bread with Spinach Artichoke Dip,” Platz lists.

Outside of Gobble’s membership offering, the brand is  introducing a brand-new 4th of July BBQ Box with no subscription required. “You’ll get a homemade BBQ spread packed with grass-fed proteins, grill-worthy confits, and compound butters — all delivered to your home or Airbnb,” Platz highlights. You can sign up for the Gobble mailing list to stay tuned!

If the freshness factor and incredible value don’t sell you enough, Gobble is the ideal solution for young professionals, dual-working households, busy families and anyone who’s looking to spend less time in the kitchen.

“We’re proud to be one of the only female-founded companies in the meal delivery space,” Platz says, on a concluding note. “Our founder, Ooshma Garg, created Gobble to solve the universal mealtime question: What’s for dinner? She was inspired by the importance of eating together with loved ones without having to sacrifice time, flavor, or nutrition. And really, who doesn’t want that?”

With Gobble, you can have the luxury of trying new recipes you’ve been meaning to get to on your Pinterest board but simply haven’t had the time to (we’ve all been there). And, I give it five stars as one of the top meal kits I’ve tried.
