One of these is a vegan based company called Vegin Out ,The partners Tim and Dan Boissy have created a company that has attracted customers such as  Andy Dick, Alicia Silverstone, Larry David, Cobie Smulders (Actress-"How I met your Mother") Melody Beattie (Author).

Much of the  food is probably 80% cooked.  Most of the vegetables are lightly blanched to help them stay fresher for longer as the delivery is usually once a week and intended to be enough for a week's supply of meals.

They use  organic raw can sugar, and agave nectar, organic brown sugar, organic evaporated cane juice a sweeteners and their food falls into mid to low level sodium range.  

Although they do not specifically cater to ilnesses, some of their dishes are macrobiotic and seasonal  and  beneficial for those with Diabetes or who simply wish to lose some weight.

The price per week for a single order, which is 9 to 10 meals worth of food, is $110 for L.A delivery and $125 for shipping. 

 For a double order which is  double the amount of food, the price is even more economical at  $200 for delivery and $225 for shipping. Please note that they  do not do delivery of any one, single  meal.  Neither  do they  deliver for one day only, or a few days at a time. They  always deliver on Mondays and a single order which is 3 servings of each of the 8 dishes on theirr menu plus cookies is the minimum order.  The menu changes each week and must be placed by Friday at 5 pm to ensure Monday delivery.

    Their prices are so reasonable for the quality of the food. I am a fan of Vegin' Out even though I tend to raw food at times. Tim's dishes "feel" light and clean, not at all heavy like some cooked vegan food (such as popular vegan restaurants). In fact they make some of the best tomato soups I've ever had. Highly recommended!
