Month of Meals to Savory Moment
Kay offered the first cooking session in February 1999 after working on the concept for more than a year.
During those early days, Kay used a variety of local commercial kitchens to host one or two cooking session
each month. Deciding to grow the business slowly as it made sense for her family. In July of 2000, Kay moved
the business into a shared use catering facility in Kirkland and then built a 4,700 square foot commercial
kitchen in January 2004. This facility features a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen with two large
walk-in coolers and a walk-in freezer, a large blast chiller and a complete cook line. It also has a spacious
reception area allowing us to host weekly open house tastings so new customers have an opportunity to sample
some of the meals.
In October 2004, Month of Meals changed from community-style cooking sessions to chef-prepared meals. Busy
lifestyles made it increasingly difficult for our customers to schedule time in our kitchen. So now, without any
additional cost, our customers can just choose a time to pick up their meals or have them delivered.
The option to just walk-in and purchase meals without preordering or purchasing additional meals when picking up an order was added in 2007 and led to the monumental decision to change our appearance, our website and our name.
Savory Moment
November 11, 2008 we formally changed our name to Savory Moment. Since the name Month of Meals no longer described our business model, we decided to choose a name the more closely reflected the quality of our food and flexibility of our program. By removing the minimum order requirement, customers can purchase any amount of entrees, side dishes, desserts and specialty items to fit their needs. In addition, we added a larger selection of "Chef Favorites" and Le Cordon Bleu merchandise to purchase as a walk-in guest.
Our talented and dedicated staff continues to prepare and package excellent quality meals at an affordable price. We strive to offer our customers the best program possible with the flexibility to meet individual needs.
