Lemon & Sage Market

Stopped in after seeing that they had fresh Sourdough bread. Bought a loaf and the rest is history. The sourdough was sooo good! I cant wait to stop in again and get more bread and other delicious products. Staff was super nice

Had an amazing experience. Worth the drive from salt lake. Everything was planned and ready. She was very accommodating for my celiac disease (can’t eat gluten) she planned everything and it runs very smoothly. Nice to have a date night we’re you get food for your family accomplished.

While this company offers many separate options (they have a local market of goods, cooking classes for kids, etc), check out their "Dinner Crafts" on their website -- that's what this review is about. For $155 you go for about 2.5 hours and do all the assembly of 8 different dishes which will feed 6-8 people. If you have fewer people to feed, then you can stretch that out to 16 meals (they charge $10 more since you're using more take-home tins). For us, some of the 3-4 person meals actually are two meals... like the lasagna is split into two tins with the 16 meal plan, but then each tin feeds us for 2 nights (for 3 people, one large portion eater and two smaller portion eater) so that means 4 meals in a month are lasagna. So it's common for us to have leftovers even after separating into the smaller portions.

Before you get there, they've done all the shopping, planning and prep work. They make the sauces and fillings, you just put them together (most of them still raw) and take them home uncooked and freeze them. So, for the Chicken Enchiladas, they've cooked and cut the chicken, made homemade cream of chicken soup, added the other ingredients and you just use an ice-cream scoop to plop the mix (twice) into a tortilla, wrap them up, and cover them with a green chili mix and top with cheese.

Many of the dishes are for the crock pot for 4-8 hours (for our crockpot, it's usually done in 2.5 hours even on the lowest setting -- use leave-in thermometers and eat when it's done), or a few of the dishes you throw into the oven. We also now use an Instant Pot for many of the dishes which dramatically cuts down the cooking time but also makes some of the beef dishes so much more tender.

It's a great plan and the meals are very good, way better than store bought freezer foods (they generally feel homemade and not from the freezer or store bought at all) and since they're buying in bulk for ingredients it works out cheaper than shopping for and making them yourself, especially when you factor in all the shopping/prep time you save and that you aren't buying 30 sprigs of rosemary when you only need 4).

You get a binder full of all the final prep instructions including what other things you can serve it with. A number of the dishes suggest you serve with rice, for example. So for dinner, you just thaw the tin a day ahead (optional), cook it and assemble the other items for your table and you have a great dinner with very little effort. One day a month for 2.5 hours and you get 16 + meals (for 3-4 people) that don't require much more than cooking them. I don't know why this isn't a common thing everywhere. There are the meals you can order online where you're paying shipping and dry-ice fees... I haven't tried those but this is much cheaper per meal from what I gather.

Pro Tip: For a lot of the dishes where you serve with rice, we've found that if you cook all the meat to temp and make some rice, you should then add it into the crock-pot/Instant Pot for 5-10 minutes and stir it all up. The sauces are so good and letting the rice soak them up makes the rice super tasty. Otherwise, if you just spoon the meat and sauce onto the rice on your plate, the sauce just runs off and doesn't have time to soak in... and that's a waste of some great flavor!

I signed up on their website for their “Dinner Crafts” class and ended up planning my own Private Event dinner craft! Wonderful and helpful for busy families to come and prepare 8 meals that you can later put in your slow cooker or even your INSTANT POT as is pictured (jambalaya!). The kitchen is very clean, instructions are easy, and the menu to choose from has a great variety of Pork, chicken, or beef. The price is exceptional for the amount of time you will save. As a family of ten I can honestly say that none of my children have complained about any of the meals from the dinner crafts! This is rare! Sign up and grab your spot-you’ll thank me

What an amazing place! I used Lemon & Sage to cook all the food for a catered party for 300! No problems whatsoever! I will definitely be using their facility again in the future!
