What's in my organic fruit & veg box today!

I would complain to Riverford they have a good customer care mentality.

Riverford do a mini veg box and fruit bag too - which is great - and lasts me and my OH for a week, and definitely worth every penny.

they also CARE about the environment and their customer service

and Riverford have an offer for new customers at the moment - a free Riverford cookbook worth £16 when you try a box..

Surely Riverford Offer should be also posted in Offers Threads here? best wishes

Please, feel free to re-post or post wherever you like - the more the merrier! I'm really new to this malarky - and self-employed so don't have much free time..

I'm foolishly giddy at the thought of what I will get in my box tomorrow

Are these boxes worth it then? I'm away with my family over Christmas (free food and board ) but in the new year one of my resolutions is to eat healthier and buy organic. I love the idea, and as we don't have a car we do a fortnightly shop online so it wouldn't be new to us, but £10 even for the smallest box seems a bit steep? I know it's better for the planet but do they taste better?

I really value the taste and the quality of the food in the boxes and I am comfortable paying a bit extra for that. The only thing I sometimes struggle with is knowing what to do with the contents

I didnt get a box this week,but im getting an extra large next Tuesday...looking forward to it,last delivery had a list of what items would probably be in it,cant rememeber everything,but celeriac and fennel were listed(i'l get substitutes are both are on my dislike list),the usual potatoes,carrots and onions and brussel sprouts in time for Crimbo.
Rummer was it yourself that made beetroot rissoto?..i still have beets needing used up and would be interested in your recipe if you have time to post,thankyou.

Evening :j

Just in the door and rummaging through my veg box . This week we have:

Veg

• leeks
• courgettes
• celery
• cabbage
• carrots
• onions
• red pepper
• tomatoes
• Spinach
• mushrooms
• broccoli

Fruit

• apples
• oranges
• pears

Tonight I am going to create a delicious coconut veggie curry, yum.

Cooking-mama I did make a beetroot risotto but I didn't follow a recipe I just prepared the beetroot and risotto the way they recommended online and bunged it all together :rotfl:

I use Abel and Cole because I can register dislikes, or skip something if I don't fancy it (or still have it left over from previous week)
There are 3 of us, vegetarian, and we end up with about 3 boxes a month. I skip a box sometimes and do a cheaper top up from the farm shop if I only need a few things.

Great quality, and good service. I will post contents tomorrow when it arrives.
