While waiting around at Arbutus and 12th the other day, I made a fantastic discovery - a restaurant where you can make the food yourself! Indishpensable is the name of the place. Basically, you purchase a big bag containing all of the ingredients for a meal, already cut up and portioned, complete with detailed cooking instructions, to take home and make on your own.
For $24, I bought a bag containing everything I needed to make 2 servings of "Stuffed red bell peppers with goat cheese and saffron orzo pasta, served with roasted Portobello mushrooms and tuscan bean salad in black currant dressing." Sounds pretty impressive, doesn't it?
The recipe was easy to follow, which is much appreciated when you are new to cooking, as I am. The ingredients came in the exact quantities needed, which means not having to go out and buy giant bags of things you will never use again. Who needs a 2 kilogram bag of saffron anyway? There's a hint at my cooking inexperience; I don't actually know if saffron comes in bags, or what saffron even is.

Since I can't take credit for the preparation or ingredients, I can say without bragging that my cooking creation was amazing. For the low price of $24, I felt like a true chef! Indishpensable is perfect for anyone who is intimidated by unfamiliar ingredients or seemingly impossible preparation scenarios.
At some point I will figure out what saffron is, I am sure.
