Recipe boxes have been around for a while now, i’ve always been tempted but then get to the checkout page and think “Nah, I could make that cheaper myself.” That was until a friend (thanks Ryan!) introduced Ed and I to Gousto, and gave us his referral code that got us a whopping 60% off our first box and then…
