Grab ‘n’ Cook

I love to cook, but sometimes I’m lazy. Planning and shopping can be fun, but sometimes, for a weeknight dinner, inspiration is hard to find and you really don’t feel like throwing a frozen pizza in the oven or cooking spaghetti. Grab’n’Cook is for those nights. The offer is unique, as far as I have seen in Copenhagen: You can buy the ingredients for a meal, together with a recipe to prepare it at home. They have 8 – 10 dishes on offer, most of which are available for a single person, but they also have a «family bag» for 4. Needless to say, you can of course buy multiple portions.
The choice of recipes is in line with the current trend of «everyday gourmet food», meaning that they are striving to offer their customers something they wouldn’t usually make, but still not too crazy for a normal dinner. Prices start at 45DKK per person, the family bag costs 135DKK for 4.
I have tried both the malt dough pizza with potatoes, bacon and brie and the risotto with mushrooms, and I really enjoyed both. The pizza especially was spectacular. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, neither of the recipes took longer than 30min to prepare and cook, and the result was yum.
What I really like about Grab’n’Cook is that you avoid throwing out ingredients, as everything is measured and counted. You don’t end up buying a whole net of onions or an entire bottle of wine just because you need some for the risotto.
I would like to come back and try more dishes, as most of them sound absolutely delicious, and I would definitely recommend Grab’n’Cook!
