In today’s Top Chef Meals review, I’m going to take a closer look at this meal delivery service and what it has to offer. We’re going to check out the company’s goals, what the meals they have to offer, and how you can order from them.
Let’s find out if this meal delivery service is as good as it sounds!
Top Chef Meals Review: What Do They Do?
Top Chef Meals promises to deliver tasty and nutritious cooked meals right to your doorstep. You get to select the meal or meals of your choice from a list of more than 75 entrees and rotating specials, all of which just need to be heated and are ready to eat in just 3 minutes.
Choosing your meals lets you customize your order to a certain extent, and this ensures that your food is cooked from scratch using the freshest ingredients.
Here’s what Top Chef’s Meals will bring to your table:
Clean Ingredients:
The meals are made using the freshest ingredients. Since Top Chef Meals prioritize healthy and nutritious meals, their ingredients are all fresh and organic. Best of all they are locally sourced and help other community businesses.
Also, their meat-based dishes are free from antibiotics and poor feeding practices. Instead, all their ingredients are clean and free from trans fats, chemicals, and preservatives. This will make sure what you put into your body is safe, healthy, wholesome, and good for you.
Carefully Prepared Dishes:
All of the Top Chef Meals are made to order, which ensures that everything stays nice and fresh. These made to order meals are prepared by professional chefs so they taste great as well. These dishes also have no artificial ingredients or high-fructose corn syrup and are crafted with your health and nutrition in mind.
Nutritious Meals:
You don’t have to worry about carbo-loading with the meals you get from this service. And there aren’t any empty calories that you have to look out for either. Besides being made with fresh and clean ingredients, they are low in carbs and unhealthy fats and high in proteins.
The meals are well balanced and designed to give you the macronutrients and vitamins/minerals/fiber your body needs.
Comfort and Convenience:
Cooking at home takes time and energy. Tracking down ingredients, shopping, preparing them, and finally cooking them takes a lot of planning and can take hours every week. Most people don’t have that kind of time to spare. On the other hand, frozen supermarket meals are all but soaked in salt, fats, and nasty preservatives.
Top Chef Meals offers you a blissful alternative. Their pre-cooked meals let you pull out the dish you want out of your fridge, heat it up, and have it ready to eat in just 3 minutes. And you can use the time spent on cooking on more important things.
Furthermore, creating an account and ordering meals is pretty easy so you won’t have to step out of your comfort zone!
Ordering from Top Chef Meals
Many people shy away from online meal delivery services because they find that setting up and canceling subscriptions to be too troublesome. This couldn’t be further from the truth at Top Chef Meals. Here’s how it all works:
Create an Account:
To start off, you must create an account with Top Chef Meals. This will also let you review and change your order. Best of all, you can also get special discounts from time to time when you sign up!
Ordering:
The process of ordering your meals from here is pretty straightforward. Simply browse through the menu and select the dishes that you like. You can also customize them for your dietary preferences. Then, choose and customize the side dishes that you want.
Cooking and Delivery:
The dishes in your cart are then lovingly prepared by skilled and experienced chefs using the best ingredients out there. The food is then flash-frozen to preserve the taste and nutrients. A courier service then delivers the meals to your home.
See? It really is that simple!
What are These Meals Like?
It’s perfectly understandable if you’re wary about ready to eat meals. On top of that pre-cooked meals that are marketed as ‘healthy’ are often horrendous. Top Chef Meals veers away from the hippy vegan meals that take time getting used to and prepares hearty and wholesome dishes that you will love.
Moreover, the portions are well-sized. They aren’t so small that you will feel hungry afterward, but they aren’t overly large either. You won’t feel stuffed or sluggish after your meals as the portions are just right.
Low Carb Menu:
Trying to stay away from carbs? Top Chef Meals will have you covered with their almost endless menu of low-carb dishes.
You can either order an entrée and choose two sides or choose something from their a la carte menu. There are also weekly packages that have different meals on rotation, so you can have your lunches and dinners ready to go.
These low carb meals mainly cater to those who are on a keto or paleo diet. The Paleo meals contain 6oz of protein and a side. The keto meals come with 6oz of protein, a sauce, and a side.
Here’s a little snippet of the kinds of dishes they have:
- Chicken Entrees: The Cacciatore, Teriyaki, and grilled Buffalo Chicken looked amazing.
- Beef Entrees: Steaks, Meatballs, and the Homestyle Brisket are perfect for any meat lover.
- Pork Entrees: Stuffed pork tenderloins or BBQ pulled pork? The choice is yours!
- Seafood Entrees: The Seared Ahi Tuna and Shrimp Scampi are mouthwatering.
- Turkey Entrees: Lemon Ginger Turkey Meatballs anyone?
There are also countless vegetarian entrees if your diet doesn’t include meat. These dishes use ingredients like mushrooms, beans, and tofu to make sure you’re getting enough protein in your diet.
I was looking forward to a vegan option, but couldn’t find one. Perhaps somewhere down the road, they’ll introduce one?
Breakfasts:
You can also choose from a huge list of breakfasts that caters to your preferred diet. Paleo breakfasts usually feature egg-heavy dishes with mushrooms and sausages.
Their other breakfasts have healthy options like gluten-free pancakes, frittatas, and scrambled eggs with spinach.
Desserts:
Low carb doesn’t have to mean that you can’t indulge yourself. That’s why Top Chef Meals have included an impressive array of desserts to their low carb menu.
They’re absolutely scrumptious looking desserts like the Chocolate Molten Saucy Cake topped with a decadent ganache. This can be taken right out of the freezer and microwaved to keep the center gooey.
But that’s not all! There are also gluten-free cheesecakes, fruit cobblers, and a lovely gluten-free double chocolate brownie. But if you want to keep things on the healthier side, they even have organic granola and low-calorie oatmeal cookies you can snack on.
Food Therapy:
Besides low carb, paleo, and keto menus, Top Chef Meals also has specific menus for people with several dietary restrictions. They have the same food as the regular menu but modified to meet certain dietary necessities.
- Low Sodium Meals: These meals contain 500mg or less sodium and meet the American Heart Association’s recommendation of consuming no more than 1500mg of sodium per day.
- Diabetic Meals: Meant for diabetics, these meals have restricted carbohydrates to maintain steady glucose levels. They are also low in sodium. Designed by dietician’s these meals will keep you healthy and energetic.
- Low-Fat Meals: On a strict diet? Top Chef Meals provides meals with 3g or less of fat per 100g of food. You can feel full and keep track of the fat you consume!
- Renal-Friendly Meals: Meant for people with kidney issues, these meals were designed by a dietician for stages 3 and 4 of CKD. They have very limited amounts of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. These meal plans help you focus on your health and keeping up your strength without worrying about cooking.
- Gluten-Free Meals: Got a gluten allergy? No problem! All the meals in this program are free from wheat, barley, rye, soy, or any other ingredients that contain gluten. In fact, they specially segregate all wheat products in a separate part of their facility.
- Dairy-Free Meals: These meals are for people with lactose intolerance, or even for people who prefer avoiding all forms of dairy for health reasons. They have no milk, cream, butter, cheese, or whey in them.
Extras:
Besides their regular rotation of meals, Top Chef Meals have a little extra something to offer their customers.
Seasonal Specials:
Chicken kabobs with Jasmine rice and zucchinis and herb Dijon marinade. Sounds fancy right? There are lots of dishes with exciting ingredients that show up once in a while.
Soups and Shakes:
Want a quick breakfast smoothie or a hearty soup to warm you up on chilly days? The dairy-free protein smoothies will give you a great boost of energy and hydration.
And if you want something warm and comforting, their chicken noodle soup or tomato cheddar soup is hearty, cozy, and filling.
Senior Meals:
This service also caters to seniors who can’t cook and have special dietary requirements. You can order online, or through email or telephone–whichever is more convenient. There is also a 15% discount for all customers over 60.
Senior meals contain an entrée of your choice, starch, and vegetable. They are handcrafted to be healthy and suit your dietary restrictions and remove the need for getting groceries or getting multiple dishes messy.
Kids Meals:
Swamped with work and chores? This problem is often compounded if you have young children. The meals for children contain an entrée, along with one side of vegetables and smoothie. The portions are enough to keep your child full and healthy and you can rest easy knowing they are well fed.
Their children’s menu has a variety of entrees to keep your child interested in the food; mini pizzas, chicken-and-waffles, turkey meatballs, and cheese pockets with steamed beans and other vegetables, along with a fresh fruit smoothie.
