New York Times to begin food delivery

NYT, Chef'd decline to comment on details regarding the partnership's revenue structure

The New York Times is set to partner with Chef'd to prepare meal kits with recipes from NYT Cooking website.

Speaking to CNNMoney, the American daily newspaper confirmed that while Chef'd will be in charge of ingredients, delivery and logistics, NYT will be providing the recipes.



Though the to-be partners declined to comment on details regarding the revenue structure of the partnership, reports revealed the partnership is likely to begin early this summer.

Further, the service will be available in all 48 continental US states.

Chef'd is a year-old startup, which delivers pre-portioned ingredients for recipes and is based in El Segundo, California. It currently has two distribution centres where it prepares meal kits.



According to founder Kyle Ransford, "Chef'd delivers hundreds of thousands of meal kits every month." It gets food directly from food manufacturers, distributors and farms.

To begin with, of the New York Times' over 17,000 recipes, only 'a handful' will be available. The company hoped that the service will eventually be directly available on NYT Cooking.
