This is awesome @emilylafave, Rob. What's the pricing like? I didn’t see much on the site. As a South Indian, I couldn’t be happier. Dosa is my staple food and I miss doing the original batter in SF.

@cherianthomas hey! it's $60 a week, you get 4 - $15 dish credits to choose the dishes you want. delivery included. As for dosas - just curious, do you usually make from scratch?

@emilylafave Thanks for the price point. I make Dosa batter from scratch. In fact today morning too. It’s a two-day process to ferment and the lack of authentic Indian brown rice makes it difficult for me to do this in SF. And this is my usual chutney recipe http://ccmbr.tw/chutney

As someone who makes the same meals* week in and week out, I really wish things like this were available in Wisconsin. Forage looks awesome. * frozen pizzas, sandwiches, hot pockets, etc.

@_ryangilbert Definitely try Blue Apron in the meantime. Great way to try new recipes and get high-quality ingredients.

Strikingly

I think that average person has come to accept cooking as something that just sucks: picking recipes from literally 1000's, hard to take risks with a meal because you need to eat something & can't cook again and all of the supply chain logistics (how much basil will I need on Friday?). We default to picking safe recipes that we know we can make, that don't require us to learn new skills or new ingredients, only take recipe suggestions from friends and buy staple ingredients that go into recipes we know we can make thereby reinforcing the cycle. This is a market that has many customer segments. High end foodies (I hate that word), food adventurers, hobbyist cooks, price sensitive customers, time sensitive customers, young professionals, families, etc. Who is Forage targeting, @emilylafave ?

I've used Forage a couple times now, they deliver all the ingredients and instructions -- the meals are famous dishes from local chefs. A great way to learn and cook amazing food.

We have been using forage since the alpha launch, having used many of the other preparation and delivery services. I love forage for one simple reason: It makes me and my wife feel like heroes. I’ll ’splain. I’m an accomplished cook and my wife is an intermediate cook, we both work full time and while we have time during the weekdays to bang out a meal, we don’t typically have enough time to develop serious flavor. Forage works so well for this on both skill levels. For me I get restaurant dishes with the most time consuming part of the flavor development already done, for instance the stock from Hapa Ramen which takes hours to get right. I get to deliver that dish and in the process deconstruct the way it’s put together which educates my own cooking. For my wife, she is thrilled to be cooking restaurant quality meals in 20 minutes with intermediate skills. We’re hooked.

@Emilylafave brilliant. I agree that as a hard-core, world-traveling, salt-tasting foodie this is a great service not only for time-saving tasty home-cooked meals but also for idea generation and a peek into recipes you would not normally try.

@mark__a yes for sure! That's where the cuisines are really fun. Working with DOSA one of our South Indian restaurants, I'm cooking with dosa batter (they ferment it overnight) and tasting tamarind chutney, perfect balance of sweet and tart. I'm now a bit obsessed with tamarind. :) And also learning the trick to lots of restaurants salads is slowly infusing olive oil with garlic and drizzling on top. So much more flavor. I could go on...clearly. :) I look forward to having you experience Forage with us!
