Lily at age 84 was struggling with the fact that she couldn’t cook any longer and was worried about how to eat healthily without preparing her own meals. With health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes and glaucoma she knew that nutrition was key to living a long and fruitful life. She sought us out about 8 years ago when she was slowly starting to lose her ability and energy to cook. She used to cook and teach others how to cook -- Dishes such as quiches, sugee cake and more. Being a lover of food, she knew she still wanted to eat healthily but needed a service to make that easy, accessible and delicious for her.
She was thrilled when she found us as we took away all the hassle of worrying about what to eat. “Your service made it very easy for me to ensure that I get food every day and I don’t have to worry about whether it’s good for me,” she said. “I suffer with high blood pressure, diabetes and glaucoma but I know that when I eat your meals, I am feeling better. I have never once gotten bloated when I eat your food and when I take a day off and eat something from the nearby shops, I immediately feel bloated for the day.”
What Lily found the most exciting about our offerings was the fact that our food took her on a constant journey. “I see all these interesting dishes, with names I can’t pronounce, and I love to try them all. It’s like I get to travel with all these meals, and I can go on a journey.” Some of Lily’s top favorites are the Kimchi Fried Rice, Moroccan Tagine, Greek Couscous Salad, and the Chapati with Spinach Dal. “These are dishes I would have never had access to or previously tried, but it became fun and exciting for me to try everything on your menu and to see what shows up on the day. Some I absolutely love, and some are a bit too different for me, but that’s what makes it interesting.”
Through our menu she has tried grains such as quinoa, millet, and couscous which she would have never had in her lifetime. “All your offerings were new to me, but as I ate them, I realized that all these grains help my gut. I never bloat with your food, which lets me know that I am eating well.”
“I love that the food is reliable and arrives at the same time every day and I know that whatever dish I have chosen, it will be good for my health. At 92, I still feel healthy and strong, and I believe it has a lot to do with eating your food daily for 8 years,” she says. “I will continue to eat your food for as long as I can, and I enjoy the fact that you are always changing the menu giving me so many options to choose from.”
It has been our privilege to serve a customer like Lily. She inspires us and she makes this journey of ours so much more heartfelt and valuable. We set out to make healthy eating affordable, accessible and delicious, and this is one customer it has truly benefited from and understood our mission.
