How does Whisk and Spoon save time?
We do all the work for you, including the planning, shopping, prep work and assembly necessary...you just show up!
Meals can be frozen for 3 to 4 months. When you’re ready to eat, simply thaw it and follow the simple label instructions. Our meals require only basic preparation, such as baking, simmering, crock pot use, sauteing or grilling - most meals are ready in 30 minutes or less. Some meals may require more time depending on the ingredients or cooking time. For example, a whole chicken may require up to 1 ½ hours of roasting time.
How does Whisk and Spoon save money?
We buy high-quality ingredients at wholesale prices and pass the savings on to you. And, since we’re preparing for many customers at once, you can try new recipes and enjoy a more diverse menu - all without investing in full-sized containers of spices, herbs, cooking wines, extracts and other expensive ingredients.
What makes Whisk and Spoon meals healthier than fast food or frozen meals?
We offer superior ingredients, quality meats, poultry and seafood. We only use natural seasonings, juices, extracts and where possible organic herbs in all of our recipes. We strive to offer fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible! In addition, our entree choices are often more nutritionally balanced than fast food or processed meals.
We like to create seasonal menus with wide appeal. We also like trying new and creative recipes. We offer 14 different choices every month. Don't worry the more popular entrees are offered on a recurring basis. Of course we welcome your feedback and suggestions so please email us.
We have these extra meals in the freezer and not usually on the regular menu. Soups, Stews and Chili are in this category. The Whisk and Spoon publishes the Grab & Go specials every week (first come/first serve). Sign up for our newsletter and we will include you on the distribution list.
