How does The Savory Palate work?
Initial Visit - Food Questionnaire and Dietary Needs:
For the initial visit, The Savory Palate will sit down with you and review a food questionnaire. Holly will then customize gourmet meals for you and your family based on your needs.
The Savory Palate will ask about special dietary needs and dinner preferences. You will then be presented with suitable meal plan choices. The meal plan consists of five meals, rotated through a two week period for ten complete dinners. Each dinner includes an entree and side dishes as appropriate. Special items such as desserts and beverages can be included in your menu at an additional cost.
Here are some sample Questions from the Food Questionnaire:
* Do want meatless meals (Vegetarian)?
* Do you like soups as a main dish - cold or hot?
* What types of side salads do you prefer - rice/pasta/fruit?
* List any known food allergies.
* Do you have a barbecue and want meals prepared for cooking on it?

Planning and Procedures:
Once you have approved the menu, a convenient cooking day is decided upon. The Savory Palate comes to your house bringing everything from groceries to cooking utensils and prepares your meals in your own kitchen.
You simply leave a check on the refrigerator and arrange for access to your kitchen, The Savory Palate does the rest. You don't have to worry about forgotten ingredients at the store or the whisk you can't find. While you are doing your daily activities, The Savory Palate is cooking up fine food in your kitchen.
What You'll Come Home To:
You come home to a clean aromatic kitchen, reheating instructions and a full refrigerator and freezer.
The Savory Palate packages your meals in high quality freezer and refrigerator containers. Fresh ingredients for salads and such are washed, cut and organized so all you have to do is quickly assemble the final dish. All dinners come with complete reheating instructions so you can time your final meal with perfection.
No longer is "What's for dinner?" a problem... your are rewarding yourself and your family with the good food they need and the time to enjoy it that you deserve.
