Hundreds of thousands of Americans have used meal kit delivery services in the hopes that, yes, they can.

Meal kits are disassembled dinners: Recipes and pre-portioned ingredients delivered directly to your home. (But they still require all the chopping and sauteing before you can actually enjoy the meal.)

The kits come from a host of startups, including Blue Apron, Plated, HelloFresh, Chef'd and Marley Spoon. Subscriptions vary slightly for each service (and some are a la carte, like Chef'd). Blue Apron, the category leader, touts a price per serving of $9.99 on its two-person plan.

But more than just simplifying your shopping, the services promise a boost of confidence http://cooking101.net
