Too busy to come to the kitchen?
Let us assemble your meals for you!  For $35 we'll assemble and freeze your 12 meals ($30 for 6 meals). All you have to do is come to the kitchen and pick them up. Great for those months when you are just too busy... Pls note: due to the extra work required, there will be an additional $5 charge for splitting meals if we assemble them for you. Thank you.

All-Natural Meats
We always use all-natural chicken, and we use all-natural pork when available.

Dinner by the Dozen REWARDS
We want to thank our customers who come regularly to Dinner by the Dozen. Simply keep signing up as usual and for every 12-meal session you pay for, you get a punch in our rewards card. When you have 6 punches, you get 6 free meals.  We keep track of your sessions and will let you know when you qualify for freebies. Thank you for your patronage. Read more.

We do all the menu planning, shopping, chopping, dicing and cleaning. You simply sign up in advance for 12 meals and show up to assemble them (i.e. measure ingredients and put them in containers). You can leave out ingredients that your family doesn't like. The assembly takes approximately 2 hours in a friendly, fun environment, and you go home with 12 meals, ready to freeze. Then, during the week, all you have to do is thaw and finish cooking (we provide easy cooking instructions). This is a great way to learn a few tricks to improve your cooking, and try new foods too.

Just imagine: less time spent grocery shopping, an answer to the "what's for dinner?" question and the ability to serve your family something that YOU made, without the hassle! And the sessions are fun too!

12 or 6 meals?  You decide: sign up for 12 or 6 meals. For those with limited freezer space, the 6-meal option may work better. But the 12-meal option gives you the best deal.  Space is limited, so e-mail or call us to reserve a spot! 

The cost? For meals that you assemble, the cost is $227 for 12 meals and $125 for 6 (with tax, $234.95 and $129.38 respectively).

If you want us to assemble your meals, please add $35 for 12 meals and $30 for 6 as a service fee. In addition, if you'd like us to split your meals when we are assembling them, there is a $5 flat fee to account for extra packaging and labor.

There are other cooking schools and "make and take" or meal prep services in the Denver/Boulder Metro area.  What makes Dinner by the Dozen special?

• The quality of our service: since we are not a franchise but a proud small business you will receive personalized attention every step of the way, from registration to meal assembly to check-out. Ask us questions and we will reply promptly and provide as much information as possible. Also, since we want you to learn and become more comfortable in the kitchen, we provide lots of hands-on practice, useful information and tricks. Think of us as a cooking school where you learn stuff you'll actually use!
   
• The quality of our recipes: all recipes are personally tested by Dinner by the Dozen's owner or manager, both culinary school graduates. We only offer recipes that we would serve our family and friends -  no mystery casseroles here.
   
• The quality of our food: we offer restaurant-quality ingredients. We always use all-natural chicken (and use all-natural pork when available), extra virgin olive oil, gourmet spices and fresh ingredients as much as possible. And all at a very reasonable price, comparable to other meal prep services.
   
• And we are also lots of fun! Latin music, anybody? And you even get a small gift every time you cook with us.
