3 New RICARDO Meal Boxes to Help You Brave the Winter

The days are colder, the sun isn’t always present, the second wave drags on… In short, we need a break from the kitchen! After all the positive comments we received from our meal boxes this past fall, we wanted to bring back the experience for the colder weather. We’re therefore launching three new RICARDO meal boxes this season. The perfect remedy for those winter blues!

Choose among our three offerings: Brunch Box, Gourmet Box or Comfort Box. These themed meal kits include dishes ranging from bold to revisited classics, ideal for giving yourself a break from cooking. You’ll have everything you need to spend precious moments together around the table, including for Valentine’s Day and the upcoming March Break. Ready to enjoy?
