Fuss-free recipes for the final months of virtual catch ups

A plot thicker than gravy…

A virtual ’80s themed murder mystery is a must. You and your friends will unearth a dastardly plot set in 1985, where there are plenty of scary egos… and even scarier shoulder pads.

Crime-fighting can really work up an appetite, so a one pot stew is a great idea that you can prep in advance and have it slow cooking to perfection while you figure out who dunnit. Try Gousto’s One-Pot Minty Lamb and Potato Stew, which only needs five minutes to prep before you go on camera. 

Dinner date for two

Want to wow a virtual date? Or squeeze in a post-work chat with friends? 

For a low effort but beautifully impressive dish that you can stir up while chatting, try cooking up a classic risotto. It’s easier than you think, but your date doesn’t need to know that. Try Gousto’s Sweet Mixed Pepper & Chive Risotto it’s guaranteed to impress and guaranteed to be delicious. 

Comedy from the couch

One of last year’s biggest perks? Gigs in pajamas. And you’ll no doubt want a jacket potato with it too. 

What better way to top a fluffy baked potato, than with a classic bean chilli? Throw your potato in the oven while listening to your favourite comedy talent online and then whip up Gousto’s Cheesy Black Bean Chilli in just 10 minutes and smother. It’ll bring a smile to your face, even if the comedy doesn’t. 

#ZoomHappyHour 

Pals and pubs, here we come! But before that, boozy Zoom calls need a send-off in style. 

Shake up some of the easy cocktails you perfected back in Lockdown #1 and serve with a perfect pub treat that you can eat with one hand (and perhaps play virtual beer pong with the other…). Gousto’s Loaded Veggie Sweet Potato Nachos are delicious, moreish and perfect for sharing – even if just virtually.
