"One of the great things about Padella’s meal kit is that it comes with how-to instructions on YouTube, meaning you can just point at your laptop screen and say ‘let’s just watch what this nice man Tim is doing and copy him’. Their legendary 8-hour beef shin pappardelle is now available to make at home with their pasta kit that even includes organic butter and San Pietro 24-month aged parmesan, so there are zero trips to the shop required. You can handle the hot water and sieving whilst the little ones handle the measuring jug, stirring, salt, and plating. The £15 kit is for two so you might need to place a double order, or feel free to mix it up with the gorgonzola stracci kit." - heidi lauth beasley
