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.
