Tracking with the ever increasing consumer demand for efficiency, convenience and quality - Home Bistro, a New York-based cataloger of gourmet, chef-prepared meals, has seen an impressive 114% increase in sales over the past year. The Plattsburgh, NY based Company credits its success to the quality of its product, the variety of meal and gift options available in the catalog and on-line, and the convenience of meals delivered nationwide.

Home Bistro President and CEO, David Thompson, anticipates a strong holiday season noting that the Company's chef-prepared, frozen meals are the ideal gift for that hard to shop for person: in-laws, elderly parents, teachers, neighbors, or friends. "Our meals take the convenience concept of a frozen dinner and elevate it to a fine dining experience," said Thompson. "Our variety of gift-giving sampler packages make ideal gifts for the holidays, house-warmings, new babies...really any gift occasion." Home Bistro has targeted the senior homeowner, single executive and working couple markets among others by positioning the company's meals as an alternative to take out or dining out.

Customers can order meals via the Home Bistro web site (www.homebistro.com) or from the company's direct mail catalogue. "Home Bistro offers the perfect Tuesday night meal - a delicious dinner that's a snap to prepare in as little as 10 minutes- and with no clean-up" said Thompson.

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. At-home preparation is as easy as placing the meals in simmering water for 10 minutes.

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. For more information, please visit www.homebistro.com www.homebistro.com or call 1-800-628-5588 for a catalog.
