Has anyone ordered food from here? :confused:

It looks really tasty, but the prices are pretty steep.:eek: But it's cool that they deliver right to your house!:)

Yes, I had placed an order a few weeks ago it was delivered right to my door in an insolated box with dry ice. Each dish was individually packaged and wrapped. Everything was sooooo delicious! I got the deal for $135, which is a little high, but well worth it. I found the portion sizes quite large so I was able to split most in half, so that allowed me to stretch everything even longer. I'm not sure what's on the menu this week, but I tried the bean and cheese enchiladas (sooo good!), herb cheese stuffed manicotti, chicken salad with pecans red grapes and celery, thai coconut soup, crispy 'fried fish' fillets and vanilla cheesecake topped with raspberry puree. I really couldn't believe how wonderful everything tasted. I would highly recommend giving it a try. I look forward to placing another order soon myself!

It looked yummy from the photos, and the quotes from customers were all good. But as I'm in advertising...tend to be a little skeptical. Thanks for the post! I may have to give it a whirl.

I totally understand! I had never ordered anything like this, especially online, and was a bit skepitical too. I pleasently surprised!

That's the one I told you about in the other thread. They charge way too much to ship to us ($67), so it ends up being over $200 for only a few meals. Rawvolution is much more reasonable. I'm sure the food is good though if cost isn't an issue for you.

I ordered from PureRawCafe a couple of weeks ago and plan to do so again this week and for a week in August. It's wonderful food and it was such a nice break from foraging for a decent meal while traveling. Do keep in mind the shipping charges when you budget though...just email and ask about how much it is to ship to your locale. It can be very dear indeed!

Not one drop was spilled coming from OK to CA. I was impressed! It arrived cold and ready for the fridge or freezer and ordering just breakfast fed me for 2 meals a day all week! I just added salad and a necterine everyday and I was set!

I lost 5 pounds that week too...I kid you not.

I love Rawvolution too! They just use more gluten so I can't order until their menus rotate out of a Nama Shoyu mode once in awhile. If you are nearby Euphoria Loves Rawvolution in L.A. go by and pick something up for sure! They can ship cheaper becasue they have a "to go" location in NY as well.

I do all of my own "cooking" but once in awhile I treat myself...and it's good to try other people's menus. I find it adds ideas and creativity to my own.

Costing is a definately a consideration...

I ordered once from them & it was fabulous...everything! Expensive though...especially the shipping. I figure I will do it twice a year.
