The Gousto Subscription
A major positive to sign up with Gousto is that you are not tied into any fixed subscriptions. It is incredibly flexible. You can choose to pause your delivery by just clicking a button in your account (as long as you do so 3 days prior to your scheduled delivery, check in your dashboard if you are unsure).
You can choose between ordering for 2 people or 4 people. You can choose to order 2, 3, or 4 recipes. Again, this can easily be changed to suit your weekly plans via your dashboard.
Gousto recipe box review: Ordering
Gusto does let you explore its recipes and prices before you sign up for anything. Clicking Get Started on the homepage pulls you into choosing a box size and delivery schedule, but you can skip straight to the food by clicking Choose Recipes at the top. There’s also a Box Prices link for skipping straight to the bottom line.
You can even browse each recipe in detail before ordering anything. Click a photo to see an illustrated breakdown of ingredients, cooking steps, nutrition, and allergy info. Clicking Add Recipe doesn’t commit you, either – you can alter portions and choices as much as you want.
The Gousto Delivery
Once you have been through the ordering process, you will know your delivery day. On the morning of your delivery, Gousto will send you a text message to let you know it is on its way together with your tracking code so you can see where it is.
