Review: Green Dinner Table

Introducing Green Dinner Table - an amazing 100% vegan business right here in NZ!

With so many vegan ready-made meals and meal subscription services popping up, it can be hard to choose the best one. That’s why I’m excited to share my review of Christchurch-based Green Dinner Table, a standout in the world of vegan food boxes. Read on for all the details...


A Few Things About Me (maybe you can relate!):

  • I’m not a fan of cooking.

  • I’m not particularly skilled at it.

  • I’m busy, with work taking priority, so when it’s time to cook, I want it quick and easy.


When I tried out Green Dinner Table for four weeks (gifted), here’s what I discovered:


  1. It’s Effortless: They send you everything you need in one box - ingredients, sauces, all of it. Recipes are emailed, so no more hunting for recipe cards or worrying about splatters.

  2. It Saved Me Money: Instead of reaching for Uber Eats after a long day, I’d pull up that night’s recipe. The meals looked so good in the photos, I wanted to make them instead! Plus, they took less time to cook than delivery, so it was a double win.

  3. I Felt Like a Chef: The recipes are quick and easy, yet some dishes are truly gourmet. I found myself beaming with pride after whipping up such delicious vegan meals!

  4. I Tried New Flavours: I cooked fennel and squash for the first time - and loved them. I also made pho, which I’m now totally obsessed with (see the photo below!).


Here are a few of my favourite dishes that I made using Green Dinner Table’s ingredients and recipes (yes, I actually made these!):


Pho with crispy salt and pepper tofu, coriander and bean sprouts



The meals in the photos below include:

  • Garam masala parsnip, pear and yam soup with confit garlic bread.

  • Pad Thai with smashed tofu, celery, bean sprouts, and peanut.

  • Pasta fagioli with arrabbiata sauce, lemony lentils, parsley and parmesan.

  • Sage and onion sausage, herb smashed potatoes, green beans with onion gravy.



How it works:

  1. You place an order online (if you want to try it out for a week, just put your subscription on hold or cancel it after your first week).

  2. A box of vegan ingredients will get delivered to your door.

  3. You'll get an email each week with links to the recipes you need.


The most bang for your buck:

If you are buying it for a couple (dinner for two, each night), then I recommend getting the Family Plan (for 5 nights a week this is $220). This would be enough for dinner and lunch the next day and works out to be $11 per meal.
