PC Chef collaborated with seven restaurants so that their signature dishes could be made by the average home chef. The meals are centered around beef, pork, chicken or vegetarian and vegan options, and they include everything from pizzas for two to curries and pitas. With La Carnita, PC Chef is now offering [Mexican Street Corn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-recipe-kits) and there's also a [vegan-friendly Fresh Beyond Cheeseburger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tocaya-buildyourown-meals) that makes a satisfying plant-based meal with garlic mayo, vegan brioche buns, melting vegan cheese and other classic toppings plus and potato wedges to enjoy on the side.
