As you know, we get tons of feedback each month. One common request has been for us to offer 4, 8 or 12 ”half-meals” at a Let’s Dish! session. Unlike traditional “splitting”, where dishers get two of each half-sized meal, “halving” (so to speak) would provide more variety by allowing dishers to make just one half (not […]
Judging by the popularity of our Parent/Kid sessions, we knew we were onto something. But even we were surprised and delighted to find we’d been “secret shopped” by Joyce Hesselberth of the popular “Kid Baltimore” blog. “Restaurant-quality food”, she wrote after bringing her daughter to dish on July 31st; “directions are super clear, […]

I hope you’re enjoying the culinary adventures brought to you this month by Let’s Dish!.  Today we continue our noodle adventures!
Last week, we began our focus on noodles around the world with a post on spaetzle, German noodles.  Today, we move on to Asian Noodles, which are by far the most popular. They have many kinds… so, why […]
Culinary Adventures aren’t limited to Let’s Dish!
As I sit at my computer contemplating all the many places I would like to visit in the next few years (naturally inspired by our culinary adventure menu this month at Let’s Dish!), I happened onto Epicurious’s website. I was delighted to see that they too have […]
Here’s a quick gadget recommendation from the Let’s Dish! “Gadget Gal,” Holly Cole:
Are you or someone you know having trouble with arthritis? Can’t grip your kitchen tools as you once could? Don’t worry - you’re not alone.
I get a new OXO gadget for myself every so often just to make life a little easier. […]
Who doesn’t love to throw a dinner party? But…no one wants all that work! Why not organize a Progressive Dinner Party? Here’s how it works: At a progressive dinner party, guests share the duties of cooking, entertaining and cleaning up. Dinner often begins with appetizers and drinks in one location, moves on […]

The season […]
What is your child’s favorite meal? Most moms would say when all else fails….. Macaroni and Cheese. But, why not try other types of noodles from around the world?
German Noodles:
Spaetzle
The Germans call their noodles spaetzle.
Spaetzle is a very popular side dish in Germany which is surprisingly almost never offered in the United […]
We absolutely love Real Simple Magazine. It’s a good day when it arrives in the mail at my house each month. I suspect if I asked a random sampling of our Let’s Dish! customers and Food for Thought readers out there, thousands of you would say the same.
Just last week Real Simple […]
First, say hello to Holly Wildberger - or Holly “Dub” as we like to call her - the food team Development Coordinator for the Let’s Dish! stores in the Mid-Atlantic. Holly W is the woman behind many of the recipes you enjoy on our monthly menu and a key ingredient in the […]

So, you want to take your family on a risk-free culinary adventure - how do you begin?
Well, it’s no different than taking an actual trip … you don’t just find yourself at the destination. Before you go, you determine where you want to go, what sights you want to see, how you’re going to […]
This month at Let’s Dish! we decided to go on a “culinary adventure.”
Even at our mid-Atlantic headquarters this meant something different to each and every one of us. To me, it meant trying the latest thing from Timbuktu. To Alexa, it meant introducing a new flavor to her kids that they might not have yet […]
