I purchased it using a code also. I have to say that I loved the service.
I chose the glazed drumsticks with rice noodles and glazed carrots with hanger steak. Both were very delicious. I hate, hate, hate carrots but decided to try it from plated because I thought that it would be the ultimate test if they made me love carrots. They did, and I even tried to replicate the recipe the next day. I also thought that they made everything really easy, and both recipes took maybe 30 min to make.
I do agree that the service is a bit too expensive to subscribe to. I could afford it, but it's more of a luxury item as opposed to a convenience item to me that I don't really need in my life. If the price went down, I'd definitely go back.
