Dining In: Fresh Canteen Teaches Us To Cook
Let’s face it, most people spend more time watching chefs compete on television than they do whipping up an impressive feast in their own kitchen. We get it, terms like julienne and roux are much harder to grasp than take out or delivery, and, forget about those obscure ingredients that leave you searching the city frustrated and confused. In an age where healthy home cooking is on the up and up, we’re glad a company like Fresh Canteen is coming in to our own kitchen colosseums. Say goodbye to frozen entrees and hello to something fresh and fancy, with this revolutionary new meal delivery service that reminds you how fun cooking can be.
When you hear a knock at your door and see a Fresh Canteen truck, get on your best apron and start practicing your best Julia Child impression. Fresh ingredients and an in-depth recipe are yours to explore and devour. With dishes varying from seared steak sandwiches to delicious sticky wings, you don’t have to be a culinary pro to have picture perfect meals on the table in under an hour. Fresh Canteen’s 30 and 45 minute meals are made for folks who have time for great food, just not the recipe hunting and grocery shopping that usually precedes it.
Whether you’re dining alone or looking to one-up some guests, the step by step picture recipes will ensure you have everything arriving hot to the table. Don’t worry about having a five-star range, these meals are designed to be made with standard kitchen appliances. You don’t even have to worry about whether that tablespoon measurement is heaped or not, everything is accurately portioned. Did we mention everything is seasonal and locally sourced whenever possible? Stop us when you see a downside here.
When we took part, Steak with Shichimi Togarashi Mushrooms and Seasoned Dill Potatoes were on the menu. The Foodies on Foot studio smelled like heaven as steak, mushrooms, and potatoes were prepared to perfection. We were transported to our favourite steakhouse, without having to don our fancy apparel.
With meals coming in at $12.50 a serving, you’ve got room to add fresh flowers, booze, or a four piece band for ambiance.
