TESTIMONIALS
At less than $1.50 a meal, It's great knowing that I can spend less than one hour a week prepping all the healthy, filling, and delicious lunches I need.
I wanted an easier+healthier+cheaper lunch system and Jay made custom recipes that meet all my specs. She developed a custom flavor + texture profile for me (she knows all the right questions to ask!) and then she gave me a myriad of meal ideas created especially for me. I picked a few I was especially interested in and she tailored them to my needs and desires. She even wrote the recipes in a non-standard format because following normal recipes out of a cookbook is like listening to nails on a chalkboard to me.
She taught me everything, from knife skills, stirring techniques, and cooking techniques so the food comes out great every time. I have so many questions, and she answered all of them.
It's comforting knowing that the food I'm eating is top-notch food designed for me.
I don't know why anyone would use a meal service like Blue Apron or Soylent when Dinner School makes it so easy! Dinner School will pay for itself in a matter of days, and after a little experimentation, you'll have food that's perfect for you every day of the week.
