(More customer reviews)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!)

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.
