Dinners by Design... and the rest




Dinners by design. In the past few years a plethora of practical, domestic cookery workshop organisations have sprung up in huge numbers across the States that act as a platform for families or indicduals and friends to come and create a series of dinners for their following week or month, they can be created in a number of quantities and price packages.

It has been noted that the lack of time spent with family around the table and cooking has contributed to the crumbling of family strutures and other societal ills and ill formed characters, a whole host of literatre within yeras past has also contributed although it has been widely understood that frequent meals arounf the table, every so often at least bares vital powers in forming basic skills and abilities within people. So with the notable shift in power from family meals and home cooks, selecting ingredients to those of huge food processing conglomerates and grocers and supermarkets, along with GM, battery farming all conbusting at the same time this plethora of establishments have their feet formly set in the sand.

Anyway, as a concept, fantastic. The concept though it ought to be noted, has it benefits well documented throigh case studies and theory. I do wonder though how many families on the lower socio-econimic ladder partake in such enriching activities? Hmmm.

Anyway, packages, if not prepared in the establishments kitchens can be made in store and delivered with bespoke cooking methods applied, so you can oven/microwave or get slighly more skillfull and braise, fry, grill or whatever... I just want to point out a few other sites below that offer such services, but please be warned their websites are hideous!
