Recipe box service HelloFresh has teamed up with TV personality Miquita Oliver to launch the Happy Hour initiative to show how you can reclaim time normally spent in supermarkets, writing shopping lists and preparing dinner. For International Day of Happiness, the recipe pack provider commissioned research to reveal what brings the nation joy, with Saturday lunch as the time when Brits are most relaxed.
The vast majority of Brits consider sharing that food to be the main source of happiness in their lives, above simple pleasures such as drinking a glass of wine after a long day or having a cup of tea in bed. Classic dishes including roast chicken (47%), spag bol (38%) and roast beef (37%) were voted as some of the best dishes to bring a smile to Brits, just behind beloved Fish and Chips (50). %).
Miquita said: “Dancing and cooking in the kitchen with my mum is one of the things that makes us happiest. Spending quality time as a family is rare and special – there’s nothing better than sitting down together and enjoying a hearty meal .”
Recipes are available to buy on the HelloFresh website and app with prices starting from just £3.15 per person.
