Mixed-quality recipes and frustratingly incomplete/incorrect instructions
As an autistic person with ADHD, I've found the recipe kits I've had so far to be below average to good. Unfortunately, the good recipe kits are the exception, not the norm. Grubby's recipe/method instructions are difficult for me to follow. And the online user journey for cancellations/recipe kit skips is inaccessible. Recipe-specific issues: Sri Lankan butternut and aubergine curry: Not enough time for the vegetables to be cooked. The butternut squash and aubergines were still undercooked even after my extended cooking time. Creamy mushroom lasagne: The recipe does not inform me how large an oven dish I need. I used a cast iron pot, which meant I had to break the lasagne sheets into half. The lasagne also came out too watery despite using less water than what the recipe calls for. Crispy oyster mushrooms and pesto ciabattas: The oyster mushrooms were not crispy. African-style sweet potato peanut stew: part of the ginger was mouldy, the recipe needlessly calls for a large saucepan to cook rice, and the meal was bland. Kit delivery management I find the user journey for cancellations/recipe kit skips to be frustrating and inaccessible. It seems Grubby makes it intentionally difficult to manage and cancel weekly deliveries. I assumed I would opt into the weeks I want kits delivered, but I was surprised to receive an order with automatically-selected meals when I didn't select any. --- While I did raise some of these issues and received a partial refund and £5 account credit, overall, I cannot recommend Grubby based on my experiences.
