It's been about a month now that I've been ordering a la carte meals from Sweet Pea. I had been…read moregetting emails for a while, and I finally decided to try them out to help support my intermittent fasting regime. I was looking for more plant-based proteins and foods that would fill me up so I'm not quite as hungry when fasting. I really do enjoy this service. The quality of the food is very good. I love that there is a variety of meal options, and these are rotated in and out at a good rate. I think I've only had one or two repeat meals in the month I've been purchasing. I am not a vegan, but I do like to eat primarily plant-based and the recipes the chef comes up with are quite ingenious. They sound very interesting and have a lot of cultural influences. I particularly like the asian inspired meals, noodle bowls, Indian... last week there was a Moroccan Bean stew, and it looked so good, I let my dad have it because he wanted to try out a meal. I prefer to pick up my order each week. They have a nice curbside pickup system working right now. You can get food delivered for a fee to the Rochester and Buffalo areas. I prefer to save a few dollars and I have made it a part of my Sunday routine that's focused on me. There is only one drawback. Meals come to you in plastic take out containers. They are very durable and great for taking to work. But I wish these could somehow be more environmentally friendly. I do recycle, but I worry it's not enough. If you feel pressed for time in your week and would like to have really tasty, healthy, flavorful meals this is a great option. At $12.00 per meal, it is somewhat expensive, but at the same time maybe it's not given that food prices at grocery stores have gone up. It isn't a frozen Healthy Choice bowl, and you are getting your money's worth in terms of portion size, food quality and nutritional value.

What a gem. I am not a delivery service connoisseur by any means. But when they offered lasagna…read more(plant based) this week, I could not resist. I am an infantile vegan (only 5 months) and lasagna was a meal I was going to miss. Also I have found myself eating a lot of processed vegan foods due to convenience and sweet pea offered a solution to my *problems*. I ordered lasagna, butternut squash soup, muffins, and tikka masala. The muffins were amazing and moist and not chewy like a lot of vegan baked goods. The cauliflower bechamel in the lasagna was also noteworthy. But fast forward to the tikka masala- Wow! The price was right as the portions lasted me all week and saved me so much time. Also the nutrition information is provided and you can pronounce all the ingredients and the calories are reasonable. Also happy with the protein content of all these items! One recommendation would be- I personally added salt to the dishes. I find this common with vegan food though and appreciate that people can salt to taste. All of this, and the meals were dropped off at my door ready to be microwaved. I highly recommend even if not a vegan just a healthy option for those nights you can't or don't want to cook. Also to the other review that this place was pricey and packaging was not eco friendly- do you know that offering eco friendly packaging would subsequently increase costs even more? Unfortunately you can't have it all, at least without paying for it.

It's been several months to a year since that time, and although I've contemplated trying to attempt services, it over all let a bad taste in my mouth.

I love how they offer both individual and family sized meals. I order family size for dinner weeknights then have the individuals for lunch at work. No stress! Their website has beautiful, colorful pictures to show what the meals look like before you order. Very user friendly as well. They meals have been delicious and it's nice because as you go through each week, you take notice of your favorites and you can order them again. Literally the ONLY reason I gave 4 stars is really because of my own taste preference. Many of their meals are super flavorful while some of them can be a bit bland for me. For example some meals come with just raw chopped broccoli. I end up steaming and seasoning it myself for added flavor. But to each their own! I highly recommend this service! Delivery of meals has been seamless as well. Give it a try if you're looking to free up time during your busy weeknights!

He arrived and took over the kitchen effortlessly, making the house smell amazing!! The ladies of the party all wanted steak entrees. I opted for eggplant parm as I don't eat much red meat. We were served Caesar salad and a cucumber tomato salad family style as starters. Fresh bread accompanied our meals and a delicious mixed berry dessert followed. Mark even cleaned up the whole kitchen, leaving it better than it was when he arrived! The prices were appropriate. He does add a travel fee which is completely understandable (we were 40min away). I wouldn't hesitate to hire Mark again for a special event!! Thanks for making the brides night spectacular :)
