Les Commis: a home-delivered recipe box, seasonal, local and mostly organic

Diététicienne

To combine a balanced diet with time savings, more and more of you are turning to meal kit boxes. Raquel Barros, dietitian-nutritionist, took a close look at Les Commis' recipe boxes, which are composed of seasonal, local, and mostly organic products.

Weekly recipe boxes with local, seasonal ingredients

Les Commis est une entreprise française fondée en 2012 par Cyril Francin et Clément Chanéac. Elle développe d’abord un concept de kits gastronomiques, et depuis 2017, propose des recettes du quotidien sous forme de paniers hebdomadaires. 

The ambition of Les Commis is to make cooking accessible to everyone, even to the busiest, with recipe boxes delivered to your home. I find the slogan appealing: “Health. Happiness”. 

The principle is simple, healthy and sustainable: 

  • 90% French products, 100% seasonal produce, 60% organic products, with full traceability via QR code (in my opinion, this is the biggest advantage of these boxes).
  • 24 recipes to choose from, refreshed weekly, including 50% vegetarian.
  • Options for all profiles: kid-friendly recipes, Thermomix recipes, low-GI or gluten-free, for example.
  • Adjustable portions to avoid waste.
  • Recyclable or compostable packaging, to limit plastic.
  • A subscription with no commitment, which you can pause at any time.

Simply select your recipes based on the number of meals desired per week and according to the portions you want: 2-3 or 4-5 people, or more than 6 people.

You receive all the ingredients at home, already weighed and portioned, along with illustrated recipe cards. Deliveries are made throughout France by Chronofresh. Or, in the Paris region, by MyTroopers and Cargonaute, on the same day if needed.

What about the nutritional quality?

Quality ingredients

The priority given to local and organic is a real strength. A choice that benefits health, the environment and consumer trust. Few services go as far in transparency.

The fact that half of the recipes are vegetarian promotes a more varied diet, which I regularly recommend to my patients. 

Finally, low-GI or gluten-free options make it possible to broaden the offer to specific profiles, without compromising quality or variety.

Note that the time required to cook each dish is estimated at 20 minutes, as with other brands with similar offerings.

An interesting nutritional balance

The recipes are designed to be balanced, with varied protein sources: meats, fish and plant-based alternatives.

I observe a good balance between proteins, carbohydrates and fats, fiber and micronutrients.

These meal kits allow nutritional quality to be placed at the center of one’s daily diet, without any sense of guilt or frustration. 

Healthy products at affordable prices

The price of the boxes depends on the number of servings and the type of recipes chosen (classic, signature or premium). The price is then reduced: the more servings you order, the lower the price per plate.

I’ll give you a concrete example, using prices recorded in August 2025: a box for 2 people with 5 meals per week costs €76, i.e. €7.60 per plate. If I choose 6 meals for 2 people, i.e. 12 servings, the price is €84, or €7 per plate.

The price is slightly higher than other meal boxes. However, this can easily be explained by the premium quality of the ingredients. If you want to prioritize quality, seasonality and organic produce, it’s worth it. 

In summary, Les Commis are undeniably part of a current trend: eating better, reducing waste, and simplifying meal preparation.

If you’re undecided between different brands, choose based on your dietary priorities and your budget. An introductory offer lets you get €90 off the first 4 Les Commis boxes, maybe the chance to make up your own mind!
