Step 1
Find a mail order company that offers a wide selection of menu choices. Consider a vendor who will mix and match recipe combinations in lieu of cookie-cutter-style frozen entrees.
-
Step 2
Review the mail order company's history. See how long it has been in business and how many meals it delivers per year and to how many customers. Evaluate the food specialists who work there by checking out their credentials. Do business with companies who employ nutritionists and staff members who are experienced chefs working in the Mediterranean style of cooking and diet planning.
-
Step 3
Ensure the quality and freshness of the food. Go with a company that can guarantee the authenticity of its products and offer you a refund if you are not satisfied. For instance, ask if the company cooks with extra virgin olive oil and uses real herbs instead of processed ingredients.
-
Step 4
Save time and money by ordering a family-style meal plan. Arrange this if the food service provider offers a wide selection of beef, chicken, fish and vegetable dishes to meet the nutritional needs of your family. The added benefit of choosing a family plan is that most companies will provide bonus meals, starter dishes and breakfast items included in the total price.
-
Step 5
Order your food online through specialty sites like Ayhan's Mediterranean Marketplace or Dine Wise (see Resources below). These sites have the added benefit of allowing you to order both food and nutrition-related materials like books. You can also find a selection of recipes designed to be used with your ordered goods.
