Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to have an intimate dinner with your partner, but why wait around for a “special occasion” when you can choose to make today one? With Plated, a startup that delivers everything you need to cook chef-designed recipes at home, you can enjoy restaurant-quality meals any day. Here's how:
Let Plated Do the Heavy Lifting
You don't have to search for a recipe or swing by the grocery store after work, because Plated takes care of that for you. Just go to their site and choose the recipes you'd like. On your selected delivery date, a hand-packed box arrives with all of the fresh, pre-portioned ingredients you need to prepare your meals.
Bring Some Adventure Into Your Kitchen
You and your special someone can experiment with new ingredients, check out inventive recipes, and join forces to create something truly delicious—no reservations required. Each Plated delivery comes with clearly laid out recipe cards, and fresh ingredients in just the right portions—if your dish calls for two wild-caught salmon fillets and three ounces of foraged mushrooms, you'll get exactly that.
Don't Worry About Your Wallet
With Plated, you don't have to quietly check your bank balance before feeling comfortable having an exceptional dinner with your significant other. Instead, you can have a worry-free, romantic evening, where your hectic schedule recedes into the background as good food and great company take the spotlight.
What's the special occasion? It's Wednesday.
