About Dinner by the Dozen
Food, Menu and "Make and Take" or Meal Prep Process
Q: What types of
food do you offer?
A: Menus change monthly but
typical offerings include poultry, pasta, beef, pork,
seafood/fish, and a selection of vegetarian options and
soups. Please see this month's
menu.
Q: Is this gourmet
food?
A: Sole (the face behind Dinner
by the Dozen) has a strong background in the culinary
arts and this influences our menu selection. However,
our food is definitely family-friendly, and perfect for
an "everyday" dinner. We also include some dishes that
are just a tad bit nicer so if you have guests, you
don't have to stress about it.
Q:
I don't cook. Can I still order?
A: You don't cook? No problem!
If you can read and follow a simple recipe, you can do
this.
Q: How many meals do
I get with each session?
A: You get 12 meals at each
session (hence the Dinner by the Dozen name). However,
we are currently offering an option where you can sign
up for Dinner by the HALF-Dozen (6 meals) if you prefer.
Q: How many people
does each meal feed?
A: 4 to 6 depending on hunger
levels.
Q: What if I don't
have much freezer space?
A: Share the cost with a friend
and share the 12 entrees too. Or sign up for 6 meals
only.
Q: What if I don't
need to feed 4-6 people?
A: Some of the meals can be
frozen in smaller servings if you prefer (but not all
meals can be split). Or you can take them home and share
them with a friend.
Q: Why don't you
offer me the chance to assemble my own meals?
A: We used to offer that
service but in the last year we saw a marked decline in
the number of people interested in coming to our kitchen
and assembling their own meals. most people prefer that
we take care of all the prep and they just pick up their
meals all ready to go. Try the service - you'll love the
convenience.
Q: What do I need to
bring with me?
A: You just need
to bring a medium to large cooler with ice packs to take
all your food home. We will have a few freezer bags and
ice packs for sale at a nominal price.
Q: What happens when
I get back home?
A: You will
take home 6 or 12 meals ready to be frozen. Then all you have
to do is thaw the food and finish cooking or reheating.
We provide easy instructions.
Q: I have some
dietary restrictions and or allergies, can I still
order?
A: Sure you can order! If you
have any dietary restrictions please ask us to see a
complete list of ingredients in advance to help you
select your 12 entrees. If somebody you will be serving
food is allergic to an ingredient, please choose another
dish in the menu since we cannot be held responsible for
allergic reactions.
