All about the Good Stuff
The last year has really seen meal delivery services come into their own, with a wider selection of at your-convenience tastiness than ever before. Always savvy to keep it healthy though, and a new venture from brothers Leandro and Alberto Crolla, Good Stuff, focuses on simple but delicious creations. The Edinburgh business offers up macro-counted meals, cooked by professional chefs and using seasonal ingredients – with prawn red pesto pasta, chicken pad-thai, vegan BBQ pulled jackfruit and halloumi and cauli rice just some of the treats on the menu.
