What is the Home Bistro Program?
How does food that is already prepared for you sound? Delicious food that you only have to heat up and within minutes you have a gourmet meal ready? Home Bistro is a popular home food delivery program that is catching on with thousands of people just like you. Their meals range from meat, seafood to vegetables so everyone can find something to eat. But what appeals to us the most is their new "lighter side dinners". These dinners are made specifically for people who are looking for delicious food but are looking to cut down calories and to lose weight.
All their "Lighter side dinners" have less than 500 calories and 30% less of the daily recommended sodium and fat. This is great news! Now you get great tasting healthy food.
How are the meals packed and shipped?
All Home Bistro meals are carefully packed in our tightly sealed, weatherproof cooler and are kept frozen with dry ice. The cooler is then shipped via UPS.
How long does delivery take?
Most orders ship to arrive within one week from receipt of order. Express delivery is available for an additional charge of $29.95 per address. Click here for packing & delivery details.
Do I need to be home to receive the meals?
No. UPS will leave the cooler for you in our tightly sealed, weatherproof cooler. The meals will be safe and frozen until you get home.
Where do you ship?
We ship to every address in the continental United States, and Hawaii. Note that we can not ship to PO Boxes or APO/ FPO addresses. Shipping to Alaska and international locations is not available at this time.
How are the Home Bistro® meals prepared?
All of our meals are fully prepared by our staff of professionally trained chefs in the state-of-the-art Home Bistro kitchen, which is now cradled comfortably in an apple orchard in the idyllic Lake Champlain Valley, between the Adirondack Mountains of New York and the Green Mountains of Vermont. We use only the freshest local ingredients as we prepare each dish. The meals are then vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen using our own proprietary process. The result is a meal with the taste and texture that you’d expect to find only at a fine restaurant.
How many servings are in each meal?
We design our meals to comfortably serve one adult. Those people with hearty appetites may also enjoy one of our appetizers or soups in addition to their entrée.
Are your photos of the actual food?
Yes! Our food photographers use the same meals that we send to our customers.
How long will the meals keep in my freezer?
Home Bistro meals will stay fresh in your freezer for up to 1 year. It is recommended, however, that our frozen bread not be stored for more than 6 months for best results.
If I heat a meal and then don't eat it all right away, can I store the leftovers in the refrigerator?
Yes, but not in the vacuum-sealed pouches. Keep your leftover portions in a covered container in the refrigerator as you would with any leftovers.
How do I prepare the meals at home when I receive them?
Most of the meals are prepared in your home by placing the specially designed packaging in simmering water. Simmering is the gentlest way to heat a meal and results in the best flavor and texture. Microwaving can overcook part of a meal while leaving other parts cold…and it tends to burn delicate sauces.
How long will it take me to prepare a Home Bistro meal?
Most of our recipes go from freezer to table in about 10 minutes.
Are any preservatives used in the meals?
Home Bistro’s meals are kept fresh by the combination of freezing and vacuum-sealed packaging. Occasionally we have no choice but to use an ingredient that already includes a preservative, but we never add preservatives at the Home Bistro kitchen.
