Personal Chef To Go
Chef Gene Castelluccio & Chef Blair Grossman, two formally trained award winning chefs, have collaborated to bring FRESH, healthy meals to the front doors across the U.S. We can now enjoy their many wonderful recipes – all prepared & ready to just heat up. They are delivered fresh ( not frozen), and each meal is labeled with complete nutritional info. Choose from different weekly services. You receive an entire week of fresh ( guaranteed) meals. Each week the menus change. Even gluten-free meals! About $14/meal including the shipping- that is less than our local deli, and this food is really delicious.

La Tourangelle
CA artisan oil mill know for their exceptional handcrafted nut oils. They strictly follow the 150 year old traditional methods of their "sister" oil mill in France. The mill is 100% organic & kosher! CA roasted walnut ( an award winner), French roasted hazelnut, Ca roasted Almond, CA toasted Pecan and Pistachio oils. They have just added Avocado oil and both black and white truffle oils. We finished a batch of polenta with their walnut oil and the entire batch of polenta never made it to the plate—what flavor it adds!

Dutch Farm Cheese
"Out of love & respect" for truly authentic Dutch Farmers Cheese, Jaap Linssen wants to offer you cheese that taste differently based on the farm variables ( season, feed, etc) of day it was produced! We tasted the “mature” farmers cheese and it was just wonderful. Creamy, yet tasty. The flavor of his "old" variety must be off the charts. Highly recommended. See our blog post for more.

Terry’s Toffee
Founded on Terry’s grandma’s recipe of English Toffee, his creativity wouldn’t let him stop there. He created 13 additional flavors. The inventiveness of his flavors are remarkable ( and delicious). A true treat. We tried each and every one. Subtle flavors that add not distract from the toffee. Flavors never before united with toffee, until now. Thanks, Terry!
 
 


While just about any listing on Food411 would be a welcomed gift, the resources below have created special presentations or offerings. In addition, we suggest visiting any of the categories on our home page and think creatively yourself! How about a complete meal delivered, or a few months of farm fresh produced delivered, create a unique cheese board from one of our cheese resource; a wine direct from the vineyards shouts thoughtfulness, send a selection of coffees or teas; the list is endless.
