Food Tasting

Step 1: Choose three dishes to make

Choose dishes you enjoy cooking for yourself, your family, and friends.

• Select dishes that can be microwaved or reheated. Skip fried foods.
• Rice or bread can be included as sides if they compliment the three main dishes.
• Fish sauce, oyster sauce, shrimp paste, or mushroom sauce can all be used. However,
• we do not accept ICE CREAM, SEAFOOD, or SHELLFISH.
• Dishes containing alcohol or cannabis and hemp should not be included

Step 2: Cook and refrigerate

• Cook 1 cup or 8 ounces of each dish.
• Food must be delivered cold (41°F).
• Prepare one cup or eight ounces of each dish.
• A cold delivery (41°F) is required.

Pack your dishes

1. Be sure to use food-safe containers and close them tightly. We will not accept spilled tastings.
2. Put your name and the name of the dish on each container.
3. All containers should be placed in one bag
4. Place two frozen water bottles, ice packs, or frozen zip lock bags filled with water on top to ensure the food stays cold during transportation. Freezing water bottles and zip lock bags takes 2-3 days
5. Write a short paragraph about yourself and include a list of each dish with a short description.

Tip: Seal the paper in a zip-lock bag to keep it dry.

What should I prepare for my tasting?

Choose dishes you enjoy cooking! Find out what your friends and family like best.

What are the serving sizes for each dish?

The cooking amount per dish is 1 cup (8 ounces). Consequently, you will need to bring three small containers containing one cup of each dish.

Who tastes my food?

You will be matched with a taster in your area who is familiar with the cuisine you selected. Your taster will review each dish and provide feedback. Using this feedback, our team will analyze the results and determine if you’re a good fit for the platform.

How are food tastings judged?

The overall taste of your food samples will be judged. Typically, we are interested in flavors that are well-balanced and will retain their essence when reheated.

Is there a timeframe for hearing back after my tasting?

Your results will be emailed within 1-3 days.
