Woop
3 meals for 2 people per week: $149
Make gourmet cooking easy with Woop, which stands for “World On Our Plate”. An NZ food delivery box designed by a Parisian foodie, customers turn to Woop for its restaurant-quality meals. All you need to do is choose your preferred meal kit, whether you want the best international cuisine, healthy eating, gluten-free recipes or family favourites.
Not only will Woop’s meals elevate your plate and palate, but if you have a busy lifestyle, the vegetables are pre-cut, so dinner will still be ready in half an hour. Then, all you need to do is sit back and savour your food, ideally with a wine in hand.
We love the taste and presentation of Woop’s meals. Even though the price-point is higher than other NZ meal kits, we hear that the gourmet experience is worth it.
