Bring Your Child Day @ SupperWorks London. March 13, 2008
| Description | On March 13 at 10:00AM SupperWorks London is hosting a Bring Your Child session. Expose your child to meal preparation & let them assit you! How It Works: At SupperWorks, we take the work out of supper. We do the menu planning. We do the shopping. We do the washing, the chopping, the grating, the slicing, and the clean-up! You prepare tasty, nutritious meals without the time, without the hassle, without the mess! In about 2 hours, you’ll prepare 12 entrees (1 hour for 6 entrees). Each full-sized entree serves 4 to 6 people. You can also split most of our recipes in half, using 2 smaller containers. Here’s how it works: - When you arrive at SupperWorks for your session, say “Hi”, pick up an apron and get started! Our staff will be there to answer any questions. - You will move from station to station and will prepare one entree at each station. - Every ingredient for every recipe will be washed, chopped, grated, sliced and ready for you at each station. - Each station is also equipped with a recipe, all necessary utensils, and containers. - Once you’ve completed an entree, store it on your own shelf in our refrigerator. - Just leave the mess and move on to the next station. Forget the clean-up. We do that for you! - Enjoy listening to music, chatting with staff, friends, and those around you. - When you’ve finished preparing all of your entrees, pack them into your own coolers, boxes, or laundry baskets. - Once home, place the meals in your freezer. When you’re ready to eat one of your SupperWorks entrees, simply thaw and cook. We provide all cooking instructions. Visit SupperWorks.com to view the monthly menu choices, make your meal selections, and reserve your spot! |
