Product Description
We love to cook. But every night? No way! On the other hand, we don't want to eat out or have frozen pizza. On the nights we don't cook, we want something delicious-a balanced meal with quality ingredients. Come to think of it, what we really want are home-cooked meals made by somebody else and delivered!
Welcome to co-op cooking, possibly the best idea since Pyrex with a lid. With the plan set up by Dinner at the Door, you cook one fabulous dinner a week and have two or three equally sensational meals delivered to your door, hot and ready to eat. If you love to cook but the pressure of doing it every night gets you down, a dinner co-op is for you. Instead of slamming together three or four 30-minute dinners a week, you can take your time crafting one superb weeknight meal and enjoy receiving the other meals automatically.

This book makes me want to cook! October 10, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
You don't have to be in a dinner co-op to LOVE this cookbook. The photographs are beautiful and enticing - they make your mouth water. Some recipes are elegant and adventurous, and some are quick and simple. Most recipes feed around 12 people, and in my family that is leftovers for one day (and maybe a lunch or two). The recipes are also great for entertaining a crowd. All recipes call for wholesome, healthful and delicious ingredients. These author/chefs are very thoughtful about the art of creating a meal, and their sage advice throughout the book is as valuable as the recipes themselves. The "special ingredients" list has changed the way I stock my pantry. If you own this cookbook you WILL be a better cook (I mean chef!)

I think the concept of neighborhood co-op cooking is very "NOW". As a married woman in my thirties I sense a subtle change in the way people like me are beginning to view meal-time. We love the idea of providing delicious meals for our families while expressing our culinary creativity, but who has the time to do that everyday? After reading this book my husband and I are seriously considering this co-op model. The guidelines are very easy to follow and the book is written with a sense of fun. I especially like the authentic comments from people that are actually in co-ops. They give a man-on-the-ground perspective of what it feels like to participate in one.
The recipes are very fresh and modern and you can tell that they were chosen appropriately to get beginners to feel comfortable making and delivering the meals. GREAT BOOK. A MUST READ FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING STARTING A COOKING CO-OP!
Inspired me to start my own co-op! September 28, 2008

I'm in week 3 of my own neighborhood dinner co-op. Our group used this book to plan and coordinate the whole thing. Many of the recipes I've used so far (ginger-apple coleslaw; pesto with chicpeas and greens, and layered chicken verde) have come from the book. I've found it so helpful to have a guidebook that answers all of the questions that had kept me from getting in to a dinner co-op before.
The forms in the book are superhelpful and the photos are fabulous. If you are serious about starting or just want another fantastic cookbook to add to your collection, I highly recommend "Dinner at your Door."

My children love trying new ideas (of course they are teenagers) I have them help prepare and deliver just once a week. It's always a treat when the meals arrive at our house.
The book gives the options of how to handle likes and dislikes
Terrific Guide and Great recipes August 23, 2008

This book is a great roadmap to starting your own cooking co-op. What could be better than only having to cook 1-2 times a week. These dinners brought to your door would make you feel like you were eating out at a restaurant everynight of the week!
