Eating in has never been such an occasion with a prolific selection of high-end restaurants offering delivery and ready-to-make meal kits. The makeaway.
With many restaurants forced to forgo serving sit down customers as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, they're engaging with their customers in new and exciting ways through a range of innovative meal kits to prepare at home.
With this in mind, we rounded up a selection of great restaurants around the world offering makeaways. From the heady heights to Grant Achatz's iconic tabletop dessert to Massimo Bottura's colour-coded cooking fun.
