With 25% of young adults eating all of their meals alone and 84% of adults wishing to eat with others more, HelloFresh is determined to put an end to solo dining with the HelloFresh Supper Club. As ever, HelloFresh offers pre-portioned ingredients and simple-to-follow recipes, with its latest initiative focused on hosting at home and reviving communal dining experiences.
To launch HelloFresh Supper Club, the meal kit company teamed up with Alison Brie to share an exclusive menu that reflects the actress's love of bold, global flavors and culinary variety. Available for delivery the week of April 18-24, curated selections include Pepita-Crusted Salmon with Tomato-Feta Salad & Harissa-Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Garlicky Shrimp Couscous Bowls with Chili-Roasted Broccoli & Fresh Parsley, and more.
Additionally, there's a nationwide contest fans can enter to win a spot in a virtual Supper Club cooking event hosted by Alison Brie herself.
