A new type of outsourcing is quickly emerging – dinner dish outsourcing (DDO). DDO is for those hosting a dinner party and who do not have the time or talent to cook up an impressive menu for their guests.
D'Lish, a DDO pioneer, is a meal preparation studio geared toward customers who come in to make a number of main courses to take home to their freezer for later use. This particular DDO provider also offers individual meals (as well as appetizers, sides or desserts) for takeout in dinner-party-size portions.
Amanda Babichuk, founder of D’Lish, explains "The guilt goes away when the convenience factor comes in. It's the end of the week and your energy is sapped. We have that extra oomph when your creativity is waning."
