My sister and I started doing our own Dream Dinner sessions at home for half the price that we would have spent if we went to the actual facility. We are able to make 12 meals in 3-4 hours for each month and I have found most of them to be good. They are not absolutely incredible, but are ideal for everyday dinners. The only one that we have made so far that was inedible was the cider braised pork chops. We loved the ravioli with chicken and pesto sauce and the chicken cordon bleu. We are starting our second month and it seems even better than the first. I am finding that the casserole dishes are often best when it comes to frozen meals. As for the instructions, I haven't found it to be ambiguous but that may be because my sister has done dream dinners for years so she is able to answer any questions.
