Book Description

September 1, 2008
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.
In Dinner at the Door, you get the information you need to set up your own dinner co-op, along with more than eighty recipes especially developed for co-op cooking. These dishes offer the perfect starting point for meals that can be made ahead of time, that travel well, and that won't dry out after drop-off. The Dinner at the Door takes your average weeknight dinner from a grind to gourmet.
Formally trained in culinary arts, Andy Remeis has over nine years experience in the restaurant world and cooks with uncommon exuberance and a "try-anything" attitude. She has a strong commitment to providing healthy food for her family, and has organized and participated in dinner co-ops since 2001.
Living in California during Alice Waters' influence, Diana Ellis served as managing chef of UC Davis' vegetarian line, where she elevated meal plan food into something marvelous. An energetic Junior High Science teacher and expert gardener, Diana feeds her dinner co-op families from her own vegetable garden, and has been in dinner co-ops since 1999.
A writer, a cook, and a bit of an entertainer, Alex Davis started at PBS and NPR stations in Atlanta. Senior copywriter at a successful Northwest advertising agency, Alex develops marketing strategies and winning copy for companies such as HP and Albertson's markets. Her writing has been recognized by the national ADDY awards, and Alex's client work has appeared in Bon Appetit, People, Business Week, and Sunset. Her co-op has been running since 2003.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book makes me want to cook!, October 9, 2008
This review is from: Dinner At Your Door: Tips and Recipes for Starting a Neighborhood Cooking Co-op (Paperback)
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!)

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS BOOK!!!, October 8, 2008

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dinner At Your Door: Tips and Recipes for Starting a Neighborhood Cooking Co-op (Paperback)
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Guide and Great recipes, August 22, 2008
This review is from: Dinner At Your Door: Tips and Recipes for Starting a Neighborhood Cooking Co-op (Paperback)
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!
