The singular appeal of Takeout Kit is the deliveries can be stored in your pantry until you are ready to use them; nothing perishable is shipped (which means very little packaging waste). The meals we prepared were tasty, more or less Asian-influenced (Thai Crab Curry, Korean Soft Tofu Stew, Tikka Masala), and the individual meal boxes stacked nicely in my pantry. STYLEMEDIA.COM
