TORONTO, Aug. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goodfood Market Corp. (“Goodfood” or “the Company”) (TSX: FOOD) has partnered with Michelin-starred restaurant St. Lawrence to bring Canadians exclusive meal-kits for a limited time only.

As the #1 Canadian Meal Kit Brand, Goodfood delivers farm-fresh ingredients and chef-curated meal-kits directly to consumers’ doorsteps, encouraging them to discover new recipes and cuisines. The new partnership with one of Canada’s most celebrated restaurants, St. Lawrence, further demonstrates the brand's commitment of delivering high-quality meals to consumers, providing them with an elevated dining experience.

Developed in collaboration by St. Lawrence Owner and Chef Jean-Christophe (J-C) Poirier and Goodfood Head Chef Jordana Rebner, Goodfood subscribers across the country will be able to order the limited-edition Lemon Chicken Piccata and Steelhead Trout “En Papillote” meal-kits as of today. The latter recipe is also featured in Chef J-C’s new cookbook "Where the River Narrows”, which is heavily inspired by his Quebecois heritage and features a number of dishes on the St. Lawrence menu.

“I opened St. Lawrence as a heartfelt homage to my hometown of Saint-Jérome and to share my love of Quebecois cuisine,” said J-C Poirier, Chef and Owner, St. Lawrence. “Through my partnership with Goodfood, I’m excited to bring some of my favourite recipes to Canadians’ doorsteps, while helping them to feel more confident in the kitchen and of course, enjoy the pleasures of cooking.”

Based in Vancouver, St. Lawrence was proudly awarded One Star by the Michelin Guide last year (2022). Now, with easy-to-follow recipe cards and pre-portioned ingredients, Goodfood is giving Canadians the confidence to cook a Michelin Star dish and elevate their at-home dining experience.

"At Goodfood, our priority is to make cooking elevated and delicious meals feel accessible rather than intimidating,” said Jordana Rebner, Head Chef, Goodfood. “Having launched meal-kits with Aloette Go earlier this year, this is our second restaurant partnership and is a testament to our commitment in helping Canadians build their cooking skills while inspiring them to explore new recipes.”

Featuring fresh locally-sourced ingredients, the St. Lawrence meal-kits will be delivered nationwide between September 11^th – November 3^rd. Canadians can visit makegoodfood.ca to order their meal-kits, and browse the wide variety of meal-kits available, including new paleo, keto, vegetarian and most recently, organic protein options.
