New York Times will soon deliver meals, not just newspapers - CNET

When thinking about ways to save the media business, we sure didn't consider food delivery. But the New York Times did.

The company on Thursday said it has partnered with El Segundo, Califoia-based startup Chef'd to sell meal kits to cook recipes from the NYT Cooking site. That means all those fancy meals you read about in the newspaper and online can soon be on your kitchen table. All you have to do is order recipes you like, and Chef'd will deliver the fresh, ready-to-cook ingredients to your home within 24 to 48 hours.

You'll have two ordering options. For one, you can choose and reorder one-off meal kits at any time from the collection of NYT Cooking recipes. The other lets you sign up for a subscription to receive as many meals a week as you want, and you'll be able to swap out, add or delete any meal from your order. NYT Cooking and Chef'd will offer meal suggestions based on customer preferences, and recipes will be updated often that are focused on trends, seasonal items and holidays, the publication said in a press release.
