General Questions

What is Dinner Date?

We are your newest weeknight assistant. We are all about creating enjoyable and stress-free kitchen memories by providing 5 dietitian-approved recipes and a pre-made shopping list, every week. 

 

How does Dinner Date work?

Each week 5 new dietitian-approved recipes are uploaded to our members-only hub, along with one organised shopping list. All you need to do is sign up to our weekly subscription and then create an account to access the recipes. When you're ready to head to the shops, cross off any items from the shopping list that you don't want or need, and pop to the supermarket to grab the rest. Subscribers also gain access to our menu archives, so you'll be able to access past recipes.

 

Why Dinner Date? 

Dinner Date promotes nourishing your wellbeing by offering recipes that are creative, nutritious, enjoyable and unique. We believe everyone deserves meals that energise their body and soul, fuelling physical and mental well-being. Our recipes are fun, easy, and encourage social connection.

 

Subscriptions & Pricing

You will be charged weekly, on the same day that you originally purchased your subscription. E.g. if you purchased the weekly payment subscription on a Tuesday, you will be automatically charged $5 every Tuesday. If you select the monthly payment option, you will be charged on the same date each month - e.g. if you join on the 2nd, your payment will automatically recur on the 2nd of each month. 

 

Recipes & Cooking

What kind of meals do you offer?

We focus on dinner-centric meals with suggestions for lunch leftovers. Expect a variety of cuisines and foods, including classic favourites with a twist and adventurous dishes!

 

Can I customise my recipes for dietary preferences? 

Absolutely! If you have allergies, you can remove that item from the ingredient list. Feel free to contact us to ask for a similar substitution. Our recipes aren't designed for specific dietary requirements but you have full freedom on what to include/exclude in your meals.

 

What is the serving size for your recipes?

Our recipes are designed to feed two people. If you want to feed four people, or have leftovers, you can simply double the ingredients in the recipe & shopping list. 

 

What equipment will I need?

We recommend having the essential kitchen equipment such as a chopping board, knife, pan, oven, blender, and roasting dish. If a certain dish requires equipment that you don't have, feel free to reach out.

 

I'm a beginner cook, will the recipes be suitable for me?

Of course! Dinner Date's recipes are designed to be easy to follow and simple. We encourage home cooks from all walks of life to try us out and learn new techniques/cooking styles. 

 

Troubleshooting

I can't see the recipes, what should I do?

First of all, make sure you have created an account and are logged in. If this doesn't work, reach out to us and we will be happy to help. 

 

Do I need to get the ingredients from a specific store?

You can purchase your ingredients from anywhere that works for you. The shopping list is conveniently split into sections to help with navigating the supermarket.
