Cooking can be pretty time consuming. It takes more than just the time preparing the food – there’s also finding interesting new recipes, planning out your week’s meals, and of course buying all the ingredients you’ll need. But buying pre-prepared meals just isn’t the same as making your own home-cooked meal.
There are plenty of services which send boxes of fresh produce straight to your front door. But what happens if you don’t know what to do with it all? Meal kit delivery services like HelloFresh deliver food boxes filled with most of what you might need, in the right quantities, for you to prepare meals based on their recipes. Could HelloFresh be your secret ingredient for cooking fresh, fun, and healthy food?
What is HelloFresh?
HelloFresh aims to help make cooking more convenient by giving customers the tools they need to create healthy homemade meals. Each week, the company puts together boxes of fresh ingredients to go along with their own recipes. The packages are then delivered to major metro and rural cities across Australia.
HelloFresh first began in Germany back in 2011 and is now one of the biggest players in the rapidly growing market for fresh produce delivery services. Its menu is designed to offer new and interesting recipes that aren’t too complicated for the average home cook, with new recipes also available to keep things interesting.
How does HelloFresh work?
Each week, a delivery box is brought to your door containing ingredients for a new set of recipes. Your box will have everything you need to prepare the meals, except for any assumed pantry items (e.g. oil, salt & pepper, soy sauce, white wine vinegar, eggs, milk). Recipes are posted online a week prior, with notice given to subscribers of what ingredients are assumed to already be in your fridge or pantry. That gives you time to buy any staples you don’t yet have.
There are three types of boxes to choose from:
‘Classic Box’ – comes in either three or five meal packs to feed either 2 or 4 people
‘Veggie Box’ – makes three meals to feed either 2 or 4 vegetarians
‘Family Box’ – makes four meals to feed 2 adults and 2-3 kids
If you’re not keen on the upcoming week’s menu, you can simply pause your subscription for a week. You’re not locked into any regular contract or subscription length, so you can make any changes or cancellations you like up until the deadline.
Does HelloFresh offer any promotions?
Existing customers can take advantage of a free delivery promotion which allows you to send boxes to friends and family for free. To be eligible, log into your account and click on the ‘Free Box’ tab located on the left-hand side of the page. A little red number inside a circle will then show how many boxes you can send. But this promotion is only available to customers who reach certain milestones.
However, Blessing CALD will offer a promotion code for our readers which can receive the first HelloFresh meal kit FOR FREE! This means if you get the same plan that we got you will only be paying $20 for 3 dinners for two people. How good is that?
根據維州婦女健康組織(Women’s Health Victoria)的報告,對於處於不利地位和地區的維州人來說,墮胎的機會仍然有限,迫使一些人要跋涉數百公里,花費超過 1,000 美元才能獲得治療。
該報告分析了30,000通電話和服務提供者的資料,發現那些處於高度劣勢地區的人更有可能在9周後尋求墮胎,這縮窄了他們的醫療選擇,因為藥物墮胎只提供到9周,而手術服務則集中在城市。
三分之二的地方政府缺乏手術墮胎服務提供者,生活費壓力進一步限制了墮胎機會。
財務不安全是受訪者最關心的問題,許多人為了獲得必要的生殖照護而掙扎。
儘管維多利亞州在生殖健康方面取得了進展,但維多利亞州婦女健康組織(Women’s Health Victoria)仍強調需要解決系統性的不平等問題。
4. 在維多利亞建築局進行嚴厲的審查後,新的監督機構將取替維多利亞建築局
由維多利亞建築局 (Victorian Building Authority) 執行長 Anna Cronin 委託進行的一項新審查顯示,該局在處理業主因物業存在缺陷或未完工而提出的投訴時存在重大失誤。
該報告概述了監管不力、延誤、遺失投訴,以及對投訴人的輕視態度,導致業主面臨嚴重的經濟和情感困擾。
該審查報告強調了重複或忽略投訴,以及缺乏技術檢查等問題,其結論是 VBA 缺乏監督,使得不合標準的工作和不道德的行為得以猖獗。
作為回應,維多利亞州政府已宣布計劃以一個更強大的監管機構取代該機構,將監管、保險及爭議解決合而為一。
規劃部長 Sonya Kilkenny 將詳細介紹這項改革,並承諾加強處理和預防建築缺陷的權力。
5. 保護澳大利亞戰鬥能力的能源計劃
澳大利亞政府公布了一項新的 「淨零防禦戰略」(Defence Net Zero Strategy),以減少軍事行動對環境的影響,同時仍能保持其防禦能力。
該計劃由國防工業部長 Pat Conroy 發佈,將氣候變化稱為國家安全問題,並敦促軍方採用更多可再生電力、轉用低排放燃料、提高能源效率,並探索在國防土地上進行碳封存。
與此相輔相成的是「國防未來能源策略」(Defence Future Energy Strategy),該策略概述了向低碳能源(如可再生柴油和可持續航空燃料)的過渡,以及長期選擇(如氫氣和空運及海運使用的電氣化)。
國防部長 Greg Moriarty 強調能源自給自足對國家安全的重要性。
該戰略與澳大利亞的淨零目標一致,旨在降低長期能源成本,同時保持軍事準備狀態以及與國際盟友的合作。

三分之二的地方政府缺乏手术堕胎服务提供者,生活费压力进一步限制了堕胎机会。
财务不安全是受访者最关心的问题,许多人为了获得必要的生殖照护而挣扎。
尽管维多利亚州在生殖健康方面取得了进展,但维多利亚州妇女健康组织(Women’s Health Victoria)仍强调需要解决系统性的不平等问题。

由维多利亚建筑局 (Victorian Building Authority) 执行长 Anna Cronin 委托进行的一项新审查显示,该局在处理业主因物业存在缺陷或未完工而提出的投诉时存在重大失误。
该报告概述了监管不力、延误、遗失投诉,以及对投诉人的轻视态度,导致业主面临严重的经济和情感困扰。
该审查报告强调了重复或忽略投诉,以及缺乏技术检查等问题,其结论是 VBA 缺乏监督,使得不合标准的工作和不道德的行为得以猖獗。
作为回应,维多利亚州政府已宣布计划以一个更强大的监管机构取代该机构,将监管、保险及争议解决合而为一。
规划部长 Sonya Kilkenny 将详细介绍这项改革,并承诺加强处理和预防建筑缺陷的权力。
5. 保护澳大利亚战斗能力的能源计划
澳大利亚政府公布了一项新的 「净零防御战略」(Defence Net Zero Strategy),以减少军事行动对环境的影响,同时仍能保持其防御能力。
该计划由国防工业部长 Pat Conroy 发布,将气候变化称为国家安全问题,并敦促军方采用更多可再生电力、转用低排放燃料、提高能源效率,并探索在国防土地上进行碳封存。
与此相辅相成的是「国防未来能源策略」(Defence Future Energy Strategy),该策略概述了向低碳能源(如可再生柴油和可持续航空燃料)的过渡,以及长期选择(如氢气和空运及海运使用的电气化)。
国防部长 Greg Moriarty 强调能源自给自足对国家安全的重要性。
该战略与澳大利亚的净零目标一致,旨在降低长期能源成本,同时保持军事准备状态以及与国际盟友的合作。
