Meal Club
What is meal club?
Once a week, I cook meals and invite club members to purchase them and pick them up. Each meal comes packed in reusable containers and are always vegetarian. The goal is to introduce people to new flavors, personal stories, and unfamiliar cultures.
Why are you doing this?
I love traveling and eating the things that make a place special. My way of revisiting a place or a memory is usually through revisiting the flavors of that place. At most restaurants, you are being sold a delicious thing that also (hopefully) nourishes you. In addition to giving you something tasty and nutritious to eat, I want the meals to give you more of an understanding of what it is you are eating. I want you to know where that dish comes from, how people eat it and why it is eaten.
I want you to take the time to travel to another place or another time when you eat these meals.
What kind of food will it be?
Mostly things that I like to cook but don’t do regularly, but are maybe a little bit more involved or that I came across at some point during my travels or food from my childhood that might be hard to find in a restaurant. Everything will be vegetarian. Sometimes there will be egg. Sometimes it’ll be vegan and/or gluten free.
What comes with each meal?
Enough food for a normal size entree. Sometimes it will be rice with a few dishes. Sometimes it will be one main dish.
Each meal comes in reusable containers that are dishwasher and microwave safe. When you come to pick up your next meal, you drop off the containers from the last meal so we don’t have to deal with single use containers.
Each meal will also come with reheating instructions, a guide on how to serve the food and descriptions on each individual dish.
