NY Strip Steak with Green Peppercorn Cream Sauce and Mashed Potatoes with Nutmeg and Chives, Recipieces, Toronto, ON

I received an email last week from Teresa, one of the partners of Recipieces, asking me if I would like try a Ready-to-Cook Gourmet Meal Kit (for two).

Yes!

Teresa delivered my box last evening.

Thanks, Teresa!

I ordered NY Strip Steak with Green Peppercorn Cream Sauce and Mashed Potatoes with Nutmeg and Chives.

I weighed the box this morning as it was heavy ... it was 7 pounds!

I made it for supper tonight.

The recipes and some goodies were at the top of the box.

Mints, seeds for tomato plants and seed paper

The ingredients

A cold pack and insulation kept everything cold 'til I put it in the fridge

Here are the ingredients and recipe for the NY Strip Steak with Green Peppercorn Cream Sauce (AAA New York steak, beef broth, olive oil, butter, shallots, white wine vinegar, pear juice, whipping cream and green peppercorns in brine).

Everything was measured and labeled in order of use

The recipes had pictures that clearly showed what to do

Here are the ingredients and recipe for the Mashed Potatoes with Nutmeg and Chives (Yukon Gold potatoes, sea salt, half & half, butter, nutmeg and chives).

Everything was measured and labeled in order of use

The recipes had pictures that clearly showed what to do

It took about an hour to make it and here's the end result.

My peppercorn sauce didn't look quite like the one in the picture but it was good nonetheless.  So good, in fact, that there was some leftover and we are going to use it with something else for supper tomorrow.  I love love love mashed potatoes and these were delicious.

Who is this service good for?  Someone who loves to cook but is too busy to shop or hates shopping.  Recipieces makes it easy to create gourmet meals by providing all the ingredients AND measuring them out.

I received this Ready-to-Cook Gourmet Meal Kit at no charge in exchange for my honest review.
