Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I choose my own meals?
Our menus are pre-set. Each bundle follows a rotating weekly menu designed as a full, balanced progression. No two meals are the same within a 4-week period. Have a look at it here.
This takes the guesswork and planning off your plate, ensuring you receive a varied, nourishing, and comforting set of meals automatically.
Do you cater for dietary restrictions?
We offer a set, non-vegetarian menu rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic, and Southern European traditions.
Because we follow a set menu, we cannot accommodate individual dietary changes. However, we share a full allergen overview every week that details the 14 EU-recognized allergens, so you can easily review the dishes before your delivery.
If you have a food allergy or dietary requirement, please review the allergen information carefully before ordering.
When will I get my order?
All deliveries are made on Mondays, and delivery is always included in your package at no extra cost. To get your meals on a specific Monday, please note our order timeline:
Cut-off time: Place orders by Thursday at 12:00 PM (noon) to guarantee a delivery on the following Monday.
Advance planning: You can reserve your preferred start date up to 6 weeks in advance.
Can I change my delivery date?
Yes. If your due date shifts or your plans change, you can easily update your start date. Just reach out to us, and we will help you find a new Monday delivery slot that works for you.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Because our seasonal menus are freshly prepared to order, cancellations and refunds are available until 12:00 noon on the Thursday before your Monday delivery. After this deadline, your order is confirmed and can no longer be canceled or refunded.
We know babies don’t always follow a schedule. If your plans change, we’re happy to pause your order or move your delivery to a future Monday that works better for your family. Simply get in touch with us as soon as possible, and we’ll do our best to accommodate the change.

FAQ - Our Service
What is The Apron Hour about?
The Apron Hour is a postpartum meal delivery service designed to make the weeks after birth a little easier. We prepare nourishing, ready-to-heat meals for parents in the newborn phase and when life gets busy. So there is one less thing to plan, shop for, or cook during the early postpartum period.
Our meals are freshly prepared and delivered directly to your door each Monday.
Who are The Apron Hour meals for?
Our meals are created especially for new parents during the postpartum period, but they can be enjoyed by the whole family and everyone who needs support.
You can choose nourishment for one person or select a duo option so both the recovering parent and their partner are taken care of.
Please be so kind as to reach out to us if you would like to have a family tray.
What is included in a postpartum meal bundle?
Our Essential Nourishment bundle provides five nourishing lunches and five comforting dinners per person, plus 500 ml of slow-simmered bone broth.
If you are looking for more comprehensive support, The Golden Month also includes breakfasts, snacks, and our herbal tea blend as part of a four-week postpartum nourishment plan.
What kind of meals do you prepare for postpartum?
Our menus focus on warm, comforting, whole-food meals made with ingredients selected to provide satisfying, practical nourishment during the weeks after birth.
