CHICAGO, May 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Peapod, the country's leading online grocer, announces a new partnership with vegan chef, restauranteur and cookbook author, Chloe Coscarelli. By working with Chloe, who shines a spotlight on how delicious plant-based eating can be in her new book Chloe Flavor, Peapod is making it easier than ever for Peapod customers to make delicious and easy meatless meals at home. Chloe's exclusive General Tso's Tofu meal kit features pre-measured and fresh ingredients that can be added to customers' shopping carts along with other grocery essentials. In addition to this meal kit, shoppers can also find four new recipes from Chloe Flavor on Peapod.com, all of which are shoppable - with just one click, customers can fill their Peapod carts with all ingredients.

"My goal has always been to make vegan cooking easier and more enjoyable for at-home chefs," said Chef Chloe. "Vegan doesn't have to mean bland and boring, and I'm really excited to share this General Tso's Tofu meal kit with everyone. This is my first meal kit, so by partnering with Peapod, I'm hoping it will solve some meal time challenges people are facing."
