Send the Gift of a Home Cooked Meal

November 1, 2005 -- Tired of giving out the same old chocolates and gourmet mustards? This holiday, surprise the food lovers on your list with a selection of gourmet, prepared frozen meals that go from freezer to the table in about 10 minutes. Home Bistro's "Season's Greetings Sampler" offers six chef-prepared meals and six decadent deserts sure to please the most discriminating palate.

Home Bistro's Season's Greeting Sampler features two Cranberry Stuffed Chicken Dinners, two Sliced Ham Steak with Maple Mustard Glaze Dinners, two Lobster and Shrimp Newburg Dinners, and six Bavarian Eggnog Entremets. Available via catalog and web site (www.homebistro.com ), the Season's Greeting Sampler sells for $99.95.

"Our samplers are incredibly popular gifts, especially from adult children to their elderly parents or relatives," said David Thompson, President and CEO of Home Bistro. "During the 2004 holiday season, we shipped over 20,000 gift orders to family and friends all around the country. In addition to enjoying a convenient, delicious meal, our customers told us that they really appreciated a night out of the kitchen during the busy holiday season."

In addition to the new Season's Greetings Sampler, Home Bistro offers a variety of sampler packages, including three, six and 12 month plans that deliver a new meal to the recipient every 30 days. For the sweet tooth, Home Bistro's Holiday Dessert Sampler offers six Bavarian Eggnog Entremet Desserts and six Pumpkin Gingersnap Cheesecake Desserts for $19.95.

Home Bistro's Executive Chefs have spent years in the U.S. and abroad perfecting a cooking method called "sous-vide." The secret to the company's success, the sous-vide process allows for food to be cooked to perfection in Home Bistro's kitchen, and then vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and taste. Preparation is as easy as placing the meals in simmering water for about 10 minutes.

Customers can order meals via the Home Bistro web site (www.homebistro.com ) or from the company's direct mail catalog. From Filet Mignon with Red Wine Sauce, to Cranberry Stuffed Chicken Breast, to Shrimp Scampi, Home Bistro offers an extensive array of regular and low- carbohydrate complete meals.
