1. What can I expect?
It's simple! Once you sign up for a session online, you just show up to prepare your meals!
- At Dashing Dishes the atmosphere is fun and relaxing. Each session begins with a brief orientation and then we dig into the meal preparation.
- You move from station to station, preparing the entrees that you have signed up for. All of the ingredients and equipment are right there for you, and instructions are clearly printed at the station. Preparing each meal takes about 10 minutes, and then you move on to the next station!
- At the end of the 2 hour session, you pack up your cooler full of meals and leave the cleaning up to us!
** What to bring: A cooler to take your food home with you!
** What we provide: Aprons, bandanas, Ziploc bags, aluminum trays, recipe labels & at-home cooking instructions! [TOP]
2. Can I split my meals into smaller portions?
Of course! Many of our recipes allow you to split your entrees into 2, two-three serving portions. Simply use a few extra bags and divide them to the freezing sizes of your liking. [TOP]
3. Do I need to bring anything with me when attending a session?
We will provide you with Ziploc bags and aluminum trays for all of your food assembly needs. We also provide aprons and bandanas to keep you and the food safe and clean. You just need to bring a large cooler in order to take your meals home. And don't forget to clean out your freezer! [TOP]
4. I really like one of the meals, but not the other, can I double up on meals?
Yes, you can! We ask that you not make more than 2 of each entree. OR, choose our 8 entree option. This allows you to prepare just 8 different entrees. [TOP]
5. Can I bring my kids? My partner?
Because this is meant to be a relaxing and productive atmosphere, we ask that you not bring your children. Look at it as a nice "time away" from your hectic home life. If you wish to bring your partner, please let us know, as space is limited and we want everyone to be comfortable. In the future, we plan to offer Kids Only and Cooking with Mom or Cooking with Dad specialty sessions. [TOP]
6. The cost per entree is quite low, how can this be?
Because we buy the freshest ingredients at wholesale cost, we pass the savings onto you. We are much healthier, tastier and more cost effective than fast food or takeout meals. [TOP]

The preferred registration method is on the website. However, you are always welcome to call us at 306 502 1169 to reserve a spot. [TOP]
8. What if a meal has an ingredient I don't like or I'm on dietary restrictions?
Don't like garlic? Leave it out. You can adjust most ingredients to your liking. Our meat is pre-portioned for you, but the spices can be adjusted to fit your tastes and needs. [TOP]
9. I have told a lot of my friends about your services, do you have a referral policy?
Yes indeed we do. Once you refer 6 people who attend a Dashing Dishes session, you will receive 10% off at your next Dashing Dishes session. OR. Once you have attended 5 times, you will receive 10% off at your next Dashing Dishes session. Please email us the name of the person that you have referred and we will keep track for you! [TOP]

Yes. If you cancel by noon the day before the session, you can get a total refund.

OR, if you still want to cancel after 12:00pm on the day before your session, we can refund you HALF of your total cost for the session (e.g., $87.50 if you registered for the 8 entree option at $175).
