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 so you’ll feel right at home.
When planning what to cook at The Shore, we have a few tips to keep in mind:
- Keep your recipes simple so you don’t buy up the whole store. This will help to minimize waste and cleaning, especially on those shorter stays.
- Don’t get too ambitious. Stick to dishes you know you can prepare and won’t take all day – 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, and more time enjoying your vacation.
If you’re looking for inspiration, we’re here to help! Here are our 5 favourite recipes and meals to cook on vacation.
