To save consumers the stress of preparing an entire Thanksgiving feast from scratch, Chef'd teamed up with Austrian-born American celebrity chef and restaurateur Wolfgang Puck to launch a festive and flavorful Thanksgiving meal kit.
The chef-created meal kit included everything from mains and sides to desserts, making it possible for one to effortlessly whip up a feast without having to make a trip to the grocery store. Some of the options that could be included in one's Thanksgiving meal kit order included an Organic Roasted Turkey, Sourdough Herb Stuffing and a Pumpkin Caramel Cheesecake for dessert; in all, the collaboration from Puck and Chef'd offered three mains, nine sides, and three desserts selected from the chef's own recipe archive.
Each recipe was crafted to feed between two to eight guests, with dishes of easy, medium and difficult levels to prepare. To receive their meal kit for Thanksgiving from Chef'd, consumers were instructed to place their order before midnight on November 19th, making it an ideal last-minute option for those starved for time.
