Itinerary:

You MUST sign up and pay with Dinner Revolution directly for this event. Space is limited and Dinner Revolution will manage enrolment. Once you have paid, forward me your confirmation and I will add you to the list.

Between Christmas shopping, finger food with egg nog and rushing from party to party, where do you find time to cook, much less make healthy, great tasting meals? The answer is Dinner Revolution!

This is a new service for those that love to cook but hate the prep work! Their recipes are created with help from top tier professional chefs. Each is crafted with the portion sizes and content of the Canada Food Guide in mind. This is ideal for people who would like help with meal ideas, don't want to shop and chop, enjoy great food but don't want to eat out at exhorbitant costs all the time.

Here's how it works: each person must choose at least 6 items in advance (paid in advance directly to Dinner Revolution). On the day of the event, show up, and all the ingredients will be waiting for you in their professional kitchen stations. We'll rotate through the various stations, depending on which items you chose, assembling each. Then you take your items home in a cooler, and cook them at your leisure. Full cooking instructions are provided, and all the items are designed with freeze storage in mind. Please bring a cooler to take your creations home.

Check out this story in VUE Weekly!

Each participant must choose at least 6 items. This can be any mix of half size orders, full size orders, or "extras". Each item serves multiple people (2-3 for half orders, 4-6 for full orders). Note that "extras" (side dishes and desserts) are already prepared, so it's no fun if you choose only extras. Also note that while it may seem expensive to pay $80 for 6 half order items, remember that each half item serves 2-3 people, so it works out to $5-$6 per meal.

Once you have decided on what you would like to make, please follow this LINK to input your choices and payment information. Alternatively, you may call 780-461-4002 and book your items (please identify yourself as being with the EOC group on Dec 15th, 1PM). Detailed descriptions of each item with picture, cooking instructions, and nutritional information is available on the website.

If you have any questions about the event, please contact me directly. Otherwise, contact Dinner Revolution for questions about their items. Note that the physical space in the group kitchen is limited, so we can't bring a non-paying friend to help us cook. If you absolutely need a helper, please contact me and I will try my best to work something out for you, but I can't promise they can be accommodated.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Dinner Revolution is located at 1927-105 St. Please see map below. It's accessible via Calgary Trail and 23 ave. This may not be the easiest location for public transit, and note that you will have a bunch of food to take home after the event. I can try to coordinate rides for people if you let me know ahead of time, but I can't promise anything!
