  • Jeannie S.

    As a family of four with two full- time working parents, we had tried a lot of various meal plans and delivery services. We found Allison more than three years ago and haven’t looked back. Why? Because its truly ours. Have allergies or dislikes? No problem. Want family favourites? She can do that too. Want new ideas? She’ll find them. Every meal is made with the best ingredients and prepared exactly how we like it. Each night we have a healthy, home cooked meal with no shortcuts or compromises. Five stars!

  • Jenny & Derek.

    Working with Allison has been nothing short of amazing. Every week, she gives our family peace of mind knowing we’ll enjoy delicious, comforting meals crafted with exceptional care and attention to detail. She pours so much love and thought into every dish, creating meals that bring us together and allow us to truly connect and recharge as a family.

  • Katie & Alex G.

    We have been working with Allison for the past 5 years. She is an incredibly intuitive, thoughtful and talented chef who now feels like part of the family. Our lives would not be the same without her.

  • Daniel L.

    Working with Allison has completely changed our weekday nights. With two little ones and demanding jobs, we used to default to rushed, uninspired meals. Now, every week we have something to look forward to. The food is beautiful, nourishing and somehow manages to please our picky 4 year old!

  • James R.

    As someone who works long hours, I’ve tried every meal service available. Nothing compares to working with Allison. Its not just about the food (though it’s always restaurant level). It’s the attention to detail, the feeling that each menu was designed with care and the ease it brings to my week. The service is generous, elevated, personal and one of a kind.

  • Pavan C.

    As a busy mom whose child has numerous allergies, Dinner In was the perfect service. Allison is so kind and patient and made the process so simple. The food was incredibly fresh, locally sourced and organic! I truly believe health is wealth- and investing in our nutrition (especially through Dinner In), has been the best decision for our health!

  • Tiffany Liu

    Fantastic experience with Allison’s weekly prepared meals! Her personalized, curated menus were thoughtfully tailored to our family’s needs- including toddler friendly options- and made mealtime much easier.

    The meals were always delicious, made with premium quality, seasonal ingredients, and offered great variety week to week. Allison provided a truly personalized service- flexible with delivery, mindful of our preferences, and even tailored the plan to fit our budget.

    Highly recommend for any family looking for high-quality, convenient meals with our compromising on flavour, nutrition or care.
