I don't understand this cooking concept. Can you
explain it to me?
Sign up to make 4, 8, or 12 menu items through our web
site. Arrive at Dinner Solutions and be prepared to have fun!
We will give you a "how to" and "food safety"
orientation if it's your first time cooking with us, and provide
you with an apron and something to tie your hair back with.
You will then go to the kitchen area and rotate through the
different stations, making the menu items you selected. We
will have all the ingredients for each menu item at the individual
stations with the appropriate measuring cup/spoon, and a recipe
for you to follow. Once you've assembled the menu item, you
will take it to an area to wrap and label. You'll then put
it in the cooler until you have completed all of your menu
selections. When you're done, load all of your items in your
cooler and take home to freeze. You now have a SOLUTION to
your dinner dilemma!
How much does a session cost?
We have two options for you. Choose 4 meals for $65 (approximately $2.70 per serving), 8 meals for
$125 (approximately $2.60 per serving), or choose 12 meals
for $165 (approximately $2.30 per serving). Compare this price
to your local restaurant!
What should I bring with me?
Comfortable shoes and a cooler or a laundry basket.
A laundry basket?!? That's right! You will need something
to put your food in to carry it home. You will want to be
wearing comfortable shoes as you will be standing during the
cooking process.
I'm not feeling so well the day of the session. Can
I come anyway?
Please do not come if you are ill. The Health Department
has stringent guidelines that we must adhere to. We strive
to exceed all Health Department standards. We will be happy
to reschedule your session.
What if I have to cancel?
If for some reason you cannot reschedule, there
will be a cancellation fee of $50 if not cancelled 3 days
before your scheduled session.
How long will it take me to make twelve meals?
You should plan on spending 2 hours with us if you
are making 12 meals.
Are you SURE it will only take me 2 hours? It takes
me two hours to make ONE meal at home!
Amazing, isn't it! We make things easy for you.
You don't have to shop for the ingredients, search for the
recipe, go the store for the one ingredient that you are missing
or dirty up your kitchen. At Dinner Solutions, all of that
is done for you!
Can I bring my children along?
Due to safety issues, we do not allow children in
our facility that are under the age of 12.
But my babysitter canceled on me, and I am scheduled
for a session! Now what do I do?
Call us! We will be happy to reschedule you for another session.
I have food allergies, can I still eat the food,
or come and cook with you?
No one knows better than you what you can and can't eat. If
you are allergic to a specific food, let us know and we can
help you avoid those items. It will be your responsibility
to determine what foods are safe for you and your family.
If you have questions about the ingredients used in our kitchen,
please ask us.
How many people will each menu item serve?
Our entrees will serve 4 to 6 average people. If
you eat like a bird, they will serve more. If you have a big
appetite, they will serve less.
But it's just my spouse and me! Four to six servings
is too much!
Most of our menu items can be split in half. Let us know prior
to your session, and we will let you know which can be divided.
We will also provide you with additional packaging.
I'm planning a dinner party. Can I make two or more
of one menu item?
Of course! You can choose to make up to two of each
item on the menu.
Is there any other way to register for a session
other than over your web site?
Absolutely! You can sign up for a session with us
over the phone as well. Our phone number is (320) 230-1345
I'm not a very experienced cook. Can I actually
do this?
We know you can! Dinner Solutions will make you look like
a gourmet chef. We'll give you simplified instruction on the
"assembly" part of the cooking and instructions
on how to cook the entrees at home when you are ready to serve.
It's foolproof!
I have finicky eaters in my family. Will they eat
the meals I prepare?
We understand that everybody has their unique likes and dislikes
when it comes to food. That is why we put YOU in control of
the spices and seasonings. Love garlic? Add more! Hate onions?
Omit! We provide the ingredients and the recipes but you can
adjust to your families personal tastes.
This would be perfect for my group. Can we all come
at one time?
Definitely! We can accommodate 12 people, and we will reserve
the whole session for you if you have a minimum of 10 paid
registrants. This is a great idea for a baby or bridal show,
a birthday party, your club, a church group, a corporate event
or a girl's (or guy's!) night out.
