It's sad to have to write a review like this because we have truly enjoyed the food and service. But they have started adding items to carts automatically and charging you for things you didn't order... See more

I recently reached out CS and I have not heard anything back yet. I was asked for more details about the disgressions and then nothing.
Our first box after reactivating our membership arrived a day late, was missing half of two ingredients, and included herbs and garlic that were moldy and rotten and could not be used This type of huge slide in quality is why we cancelled a year ago (after being longstanding customers) and is why we will not be returning again.

Your ingredients are always fresh! Your packaging is minimal. And we love how all the savory recipes are filling, w/o depending on bread, potatoes and rice to fill the body. So many choices and variety within our vegetarian/ gluten -free requirements. Thank you!
Have been very happy overall so far. Have had issues with onions and cauliflower being fresh on occasion. Otherwise have been enjoying all of our meals!
I really like the tasty combination of ingredients.
Love the diversity of the recipes! Quality of ingredients has been spot on. I only wish there was less packaging.
I love the meals but I am not notified early enough to pick substitutions when there is a problem with supply.

Some of the meals were really great. Fabcakes. Several of the tofu meals. Others were not good at all. A chick pea meal. Tofurkey. I like how everything is premeasured and included. I am happy to try new recipes. The prep time is long though, and that is frustrating when I end up not liking the meal. Worth it for the really good meals.
I had a couple meals bust open during shipping. I sent a message and customer service credited my account right away. Hassle free and delicious meals. Great customer service.
Okay there is nothing more to say than purple carrot is fricken amazing. My mom and I have spent years making fancy recipes that take hours out of all sorts of vegan cookbooks and barely any compare to how amazing and tasty these meals are. If you have the time and the money, purchase purple carrot immediately because otherwise you are seriously missing out... seriously.
We got the wrong ingredients. Because we know how to cook but strapped for time, we made it work.
Seems like you need someone to help right the recipe instructions. (Better methods to cooking things like tofu!) Would love to leave my corporate America job and write for a vegan food service.

Vegetables keep showing up wilted, rotting or Rancid. I'm on the verge of canceling my subscription if things do not improve

Some recipes are kind of difficult but they've been doable. Would like it if there were alternative instructions for cases where you might not have certain equipment like blender, microwave or oven. Also, don't really know how you'd go about contacting purple carrot if there was an issue with order, delivery, ingredients, etc. Other meal services have easier ways to identify concerns without having to hunt down contacts.
Some of the food is moldy by the time I open the box, mainly green beans and herbs. I’ve had to throw it away and supplement with something from my fridge.

Ingredients are fresh, spices are flavorful and recipes are excellent.
The recipes are fantastic, great flavors and lots of vegetables. Just delicious.
Great food, great recipes. Easy to follow, creative, very tasty. We get 2meals but they feed three of us!
Food is really good, a lot of variety and simple instructions. My favorite part is that it’s vegetarian food with actual flavor!
Majority of recipes are quite good and most (not all) of the produce arrives fresh. I'm a little suprised you don't use whole grain pastas in your pasta dishes and that's a change I'd wish you'd make
The chipotle tofu tacos were fantastic! My family devoured them. The potato dish (like a potato pancake w a very good sauce - I can't think of the name) was really a lot of work and it was good.....but not great. Most of the meals are really good - worth the effort. There's been a few that are ok - maybe a bit starchy.
