🎄 It’s nearly that time of year again…

We’ve been busy behind the scenes getting this year’s GDT Christmas menu ready, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Christmas orders will be opening soon, so keep your eyes peeled for the big reveal. 👀🎄

We have a feeling you’re going to like what we’ve got planned… 💚

🌻 A little something extra in this Sunday’s box!

To celebrate our partnership with The Good Oil, every GDT customer receiving a food box this Sunday 4 October will find a 500ml bottle of their extra virgin New Zealand rapeseed oil tucked inside to try! 💛

Made right here in Canterbury from rapeseed grown across the South Island, it’s a local product we’re really happy to support - and we’re excited for you to try it too.
No need to add anything to your order - your bottle will be waiting in your box. 🌱

A little extra from The Good Oil + GDT, with love. 💚🌻

🌻 Supporting local, wherever we can!

If you’ve ever driven past a sunflower field like this in the South Island, there’s a chance those sunflowers were destined to become The Good Oil! 🌻💛

Their sunflowers are grown in partnership with farms from Canterbury to Southland, before being cold pressed right here in Canterbury. They also produce rapeseed oil from crops grown across the South Island.

The Good Oil is one of the local suppliers we’re proud to use at GDT, with their locally grown oils featuring in some of the house-made sauces and condiments we create for our food boxes. 🌱

We love supporting local producers and suppliers wherever we can. There’s something pretty special about knowing ingredients grown in fields like these can eventually make their way into the meals our customers are cooking at home.

It’s just one of the many little choices we make to put extra care into every GDT box! 💚

New to Green Dinner Table? 🌱 Here’s how it works!

We make it easy to cook delicious vegan dinners at home - without the meal planning, supermarket trips or “what are we having for dinner?” debate. 🙌

🌱 We plan
Each week, our chefs create a fresh menu of nourishing, flavour-packed vegan recipes designed to be easy to cook at home.

🚚 We deliver
We portion out the ingredients you need and deliver them straight to your door - so there’s less shopping, less prep and less food waste.

🍽️ You cook
Follow our simple step-by-step recipes and turn your ingredients into seriously good vegan dinners. No chef skills required!

Choose from 3, 4 or 5 dinners a week, with options for couples and families. Gluten-free options are available too.

📍 Delivering across Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.

Whether you’re vegan, trying to eat more plant-based meals, or just want to make weeknight dinners a whole lot easier, we’ve done the hard part for you.

Think you know black bean enchiladas? 🌱😍

Last week our customers made these Black Bean Enchiladas with spinach, lime sour cream and pickled jalapeños - and just look at them! 🤤

You might have had black bean enchiladas before, but you haven’t had our black bean enchiladas. 😉

Packed with flavour, completely vegan and exactly the kind of dinner we love delivering to our customers each week! 💚

We’re thrilled that Foodprint is back! 💚🌱

We were so sad to see Foodprint close earlier this year, so we’re very happy to hear the food rescue app has been given a new lease on life!

Foodprint gives businesses a way to find a home for perfectly good surplus food rather than letting it go to waste - something we’re obviously big fans of at Green Dinner Table.

And it means GDT is officially back on Foodprint too! 🙌

We make our food boxes to order each week to keep waste as low as possible, but occasionally we end up with a spare box. When we do, we’ll pop it up on Foodprint for someone to rescue - so keep an eye out! 👀🌱

It’s great to have you back, Foodprint NZ!💚

Foodprint is getting a second chance after Delivereasy acquired the food-rescue app.

One of our customers sent us this photo after making our Mediterranean kūmara & chickpea salad, along with this message:

“Just wanted to say the Mediterranean kūmara chickpea salad is still one of my all time faves.” 💚

Messages like this are always so nice to receive, especially when they come with dinner photos!

Thanks so much for sharing this with us. 🌱

If you’ve got a favourite GDT recipe, tell us what it is! And don’t forget to send us your dinner pics - we really enjoy seeing what you create at home. 📸

Chana Masala is on the dinner table this week 😍

Served with basmati rice, vegan yoghurt and a sprinkle of toasted coconut, this recipe is full of warming spices and so much flavour! 🌱

We focus on the little details that make a dish delicious, so everything you need is included in your GDT box - from perfectly portioned spices to all those finishing touches that bring the meal together.

We hope our customers love it as much as we do! 💚
