Whether you’re sticking to a budget, following a diet, or just looking to enjoy a home-cooked meal, your suite at The Shore will have everything you need to indulge your culinary desires. Our fully equipped suites feature full-sized kitchens and ample cooking space. 

When planning what to cook at The Shore, we have a few tips to keep in mind:

  1. Keep your recipes simple so you don’t buy up the whole store. This will help to minimize waste and clean up afterwards. 
  2. Don’t get too ambitious. Stick to dishes you know you can prepare and won’t take all day and stress you out – now is not the time to try your hand at a Duck Pâté en Croûte.

Sticking to these two simple rules will help ensure you spend less time cooking and cleaning.
