HELLO FRESH vs. HOME CHEF | Which is better? (Family of Two) 

If you don’t have anything helpful to add to this conversation, don’t waste your time ♥️

He just likes food 😂😂

I ditched hello fresh and blue apron for the fact of way to many dishes needed and way to much prep work! I get home chef couple times a month and so far I enjoy it! Price is pretty much the same for all but I liked the Home chef simplicity the best. I have my home chef delivered on Monday’s . You can pick any day of the week for service.

You are the only person I’ve ever seen do a comparison on the dishes at the end and I feel like everyone forgets about that!!! I love that you included that bc that was a HUGE deciding factor! Thank you!

To halve an onion is an action. To have a half of an onion is to have 50% of an onion. I hope that makes sense!

With helllofresh the ingredients list seems to specify how much of an ingredient you are meant to use, if it says 1 onion then it's safe to assume you're supposed to use the entire onion. Sometimes they will specify say, 1/2 of a sachet as an ingredient, and then have you split that half a sachet between different parts of the recipe but ultimately you'll end up with half a sachet left over. When it comes to the onion, when it says "halve, peel and thinly slice" I think it means "halve the onion, peel both halves and slice both halves". I don't know about the garlic but for me they've always sent a head of garlic that usually provides a clove or two for all of the recipes that week and then some.

We have used Hello Fresh for 5 months and we learned that they had complicated recipes to extremely fast/easy prep. The recipes were delicious and very healthy and more than adequate portion wise. Lots of interesting international recipes that were very enjoyable. As for clean up We never noticed there were too many bowls,pots,pans, but we are seniors with a dishwasher.i recently got very ill ( can’t stand for long periods) and hubby had no cooking experience-so Hello Fresh with me as a mentor is perfect for us.

Thanks this was helpful. i was debating which was better hello fresh or home chef as i have been gettng home chef and i like how it comes in the containers with all ingredients included and hardly a mess. So i think i will stick with home chef and the food is actually really good

thank you kindly. i got a gift certificate. one thing you may forget is some people do not like the research the recipes then buy extra "ingredients" and spices are expensive at $8- $ 12 per ,and shopping for 1 person is super expensive ,cause wasted food products at the purchase. the value at $3-4 per is cheaper then frozen which has VERY high sodium,and preservatives.

This was very helpful my husband and I wanted to try new dishes so this really helps I just ordered mine from hello fresh I’m kind of excited 😊

I've always wanted got try hello fresh... seems like a good company!! Love this video thank you for making this! Keep it up gorgeous!

thanks for the video, I too have tried both and agree with you on almost every aspect. keep up the good work.

I really appreciate you taking the time to do this comparison, I also appreciate you not chewing in the microphone like all the other people that did these videos

I've used both services and completely agree with your assessments. The only thing I disagree on is that Home Chef is for beginners. I don't know if at the time of this video that they didn't have different levels to their meals or not but now they have beginner, intermediate, and expert level meals. For the expert meals they take quite a bit more work to complete.

the "half and peel onion" gets everyone every time lol They're just saying to half it so you can peel it, then slice or chop the *whole* onion. I think the onion was the vegetable most people had trouble cutting on that series on Epicurious hahaha ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KdD2Vm3pzeo.html maybe that's why they give extra onion details

Omfg lmao... your man had me dying laughing in this video. But thanks for the info for real... but he had me in tears

I have the same issues with my migraines. they are called auras, they are warning signs of a migraine. Great review btw! ive had both but trying to decide which I should stick with.

You are sweet! I love the frankness and honesty. Two kids trying to make it work with cooking!

thank you! the video helped me decided what on which to get

You did a great job with your reviews, I’ve been pondering these meals myself. Thanks for giving me a more informed opinion. Glad your honey enjoyed this, his reactions were honest, thanks again😎

I love hello fresh.. I’m going to try home Chef in a few weeks to see how I like it.. their making me wait til May 12

I loved how he loved everything so cute haha anyways thanks I’ll be ordering home chef

Great video! Helped me pick which one to use. Also, go coogs! Saw the UH shirt 🤗

This video was super helpful!! I signed up for homechef because I suck at grocery shopping I usually go towards the junk more than anything so I’m super excited about starting to cook more and needed others opinions on it

If you don’t know yet you can change your meal preferences in hello fresh between 8 types of meal settings. I love hello fresh and it teaches you how to really cook food not just mix a few things and call it a meal

I have been using Hello Fresh for a few months, and it is so true my Kitchen is covered in pots and pans and OMG so much salt and pepper seasoning, but its all good. I enjoy the cooking. I am trying Home Chef in a few weeks, looking forward to the comparison. Thank You for the feedback and info.

Good review!! I also got a little confused with my the Instructions I got my first box today

Very good video and assessment of the two meal kit services. I agreed with most of what you said. I prefer Home Chef for the very reasons you said....less ingredients and less prep as well as less clean up. Hello Fresh has more interesting meals but too much work so I probably won’t rejoin. Seriously thinking about rejoining Home Chef. You said you could cook Home Chef on your own and I guess I could, too but with the meal kit, you have all of the ingredients you need without having to go to the grocery store. And no waste of an ingredient that you buy for one meal but there’s more left that might be wasted.

Thanks this helps a lot. I didn’t know what should I go with.

I get hello fresh and i had the option on what i like to have ...i beli e before you pick your meals they ask if you want meat. And choices of meats as in beef pork , fish..etc and the veggies as well ...but it is. A little Confusing in the beginining i give you that...but i love it ...

I get those dad gum migraines of the eyes, and it's neon swiggles that start in the right corner of my eye, then fills my entire vision in both eyes. Hate it! Thanks so much for the video. Looks yummy!! I will seriously consider buying this brand because of you! Eat on time, eat enough and avoid noise and that darn bright sunlight.

I clean as I cook so I'm not left with a mess afterwards

This is the review we need! Thanks

heyy love ur video quick question. with ur home chef box did it come with a binder bevause im doing a lot of research before u try this for my family and some videos I see it come in the first box and some I didn't thays why I'm asking.. great video... loved watching deff got a new follower :)

Thank you so much for the review really helped me decide. I was scrolling through the comments and there is some unnecessary rude comments but just ignore those. Really appreciate your review. 🙂👍🏽

You two are so cute, you remind me of my son and his gf they just moved out and I wanted to get them something

I feel the same way watching your video! I love to cook and they seem to make a lot of dishes, im sure over time we would get to know the recipes and wouldn't have to look anymore and maybe cut down on dishes? . Thank you! I appreciate the time and effort you guys put into this :) Blessings

What are the prices like?? Love the video by the way

Some ppl like more onions and garlic in their food so they add more. Just save it for later.

thank you. I was close to ordering it but I dont want to have all those dishes every single night, especially when you have no leftovers. Seems like that makes it expensive. Sometimes I spread leftovers into 3 days.

I really appreciate how real your reviews were. We are trying Hello Fresh but considering something else. This review helps.

Thank you for doing the video!

It seem like home chef come with more food

I have been a subscriber of Home Chef for about six months. Love the meal choices, the oven ready option and good price. While they produce and ship very reliably, the shipper they use Ontrac fails to deliver within two days so product is destroyed and my account is credited. Very frustrating, Home Chef customer service says sorry but problem continues week after week I think I have received maybe only a fourth of my orders. Ironic that Home Chef is loosing a customer because of their shipper Ontrac

i chose my own recipies for my hello fresh order. im ok with the cooking. the thing i dont like about home chef is its basically paleo. just meat and veggies. we need a side dish like pasta or potatoes or rice risotto or something.

You described exactly what I have; bright spots, cloudy vision, headache. So I went to the eye doctor. He said it was an ocular or an optical migraine.

I totally agree with your review of Hello Fresh. It's more prep and way more cleanup than I really want. The food is delicious. I do feel like it's restaurant quality with the layers of flavor. Several times after finishing, we'll say "well that was a great appetizer", so yes I also agree that the portions seem smaller. But in reality it's probably what we should be eating. I also rarely use the salt they say too - way too much and I have learned to adjust the spices, flavor to our liking.

Your partner is adorable, he just loves whatever you make 🤣

Have you tried blue apron?

bibimbap (very traditional and popular Korean meal) hehe Your husband/boyfriend is adorable eating your food haha - my husband is always the 'critic' (not in a mean way, just always trying to be 'helpfully constructive' to the point of annoyance sometimes lol) One thing I do like about hello fresh vs a lot of similar services is they seem to be a bit more environmentally friendly with the packaging. I hate getting a bunch of heavy plastics for a tiny serving of sauce. GreenChef was one of the worst for that.

I didn't see anything that compared prices, or even any info on the pricing of either service.

Tell hubby Thank You for your Service! I was in the Army for 20 years and recognize your awards 😀

Did you feel like the portions filled you up?! With hello fresh the portions where smaller but did you feel satisfied/full?!

hi, i just started watching and realized you said something about your migraines, i too get them. I had a hole in my heart that is very common. I actually had a stroke at 25 from it. Not saying im a doctor but i had PFO closure and no longer have migraines with vision splices.. :)

I need to ask where did you bought that couch? Really nice lol :)

Thanks for this video it helped me definitely decide

I almost think about order home chef this month. I should have. I better wait maybe next month.

I just started Home Chef, I considered Hello Fresh but I had gotten Every plate for about a year and remembered all the prep! Hello Fresh and Every plate are the same company. So I’m hoping I like home Chef more!😂 I don’t mind some work, I just remembered a lot of 45 minutes to a hour with Evey plate. Looks like Home Chef has a variety of difficulties.

Eating while laying in bed? 😂 Don’t make it a habit lol I’ll try Home Chef next week. Thanks!

I get those kind of migraines and it sucks. The 1st time it happened I had no clue what was going on. I already have really bad vision and am terrified of losing my eyesight.

Oh this is just precious...he loves it all...lol

you got the binder in Home chef box?

dang im torn. I want it to be simple and flavorful lol

OMG u are so perf gurllly... wow.... like wow.... love this review

I believe it is ridiculous how much clean up Hello Fresh requires. One meal & ten different pots, pans, and dishes. It is exhausting.

Cut the onion 🧅 in half, peel and chop both halves

What was the price difference..

Every now and then I get those migranes too. I don't know anyone else who see those dots other than me lol. So I am glad to know of someone else who gets them too. But for hello fresh, me and my wife are just starting off with it. We only had one meal so far, but are also going to give other companies a try too.

Thanks for the video. Go coogs!!!

Really like the music!

I love this video! Thank you girl for helping my bf and I decided which one would work better for us! 💓 we just ordered our first meal today! #Cheersto2021

Thanks for this video and your honest review. I'm divorced and work at least 14 hour days, six days a week, so going grocery shopping and cooking aren't things I necessarily have much time to do. In my circumstance, I believe Home Chef would best suit my needs. Thank you again!

pretty nice. your are the chef now..

This is a great review! We’ve tried hello fresh and cancelled. Now we are considering picking it back up or maybe trying home chef.

ive so far tried. hello fresh. blue apron and Freshly. blue apron tasted the best out of all of them so far. Im still getting food from dinnerly and Homechef.

You are very pretty

Lol...he reminds me of me...he just likes food like me lol.

I DO THE EXACT SAME! lol migraines are the worst

I just recently started both of these services, too! Would love for you to stop by and see my review, too!

Sounds like the headache you were having is due to not drinking enough water ... stay hydrated!!!

Thank you so much for making this video!! Very helpful! My husband usually cooks but has been so burnt out from work, and I’m 8 weeks pregnant and can’t stand up for longer than 5 minutes at a time...so we’ve been talking about doing a meal delivery type thing to save time and actually have real meals to eat! I’d love to see you do the same type of comparison with other meal delivery brands! Again, thank you!! 😌

I got the burger also, too greasy.

No contest homechef is a lot better. Hate hellofresh, food is nasty&, website is jacked,

Your boyfriend (husband?) is H-A-W-T! Lucky girl lol ;)

I love home chef

If You’re reading this, Jesus loves you and died for your sins. Repent because He’ll be coming back soon.

Definitely a Marine lol

Can get over how great her teeth are..

I almost feel like this simply isn’t a service for you. These honestly seem much more geared towards single guys more than anything. Someone with even a medium amount of cooking experience probably wouldn’t find much use from these.

For the price I would rather go to frozen food dinners and less work 😂

Not your husband liking everything 😂 it’s a man thing, I’m so much pickier lol

Pet peeves seen an adult not knowing how to use knife properly to cut food on plate.
