The meals will retail for around $8.99 and are meant to serve two people. Ina stated at her recent appearance in Delaware that the meals will be hitting grocery stores this weekend. Contessa Premium Foods CEO Don Binotto told Undercurrentnews that the grocery stores that will be shipped the meals include: Shaws, Wakefern, Price Chopper, WalMart, Safeway, Publix, Ahold, Meijer, and Marsh Supermarket. From reading both articles, it looks like there will be nine different Barefoot Contessa meals including a chicken and shrimp jambalaya, a shrimp scampi linguine, beef bourguignon, and sesame chicken.
Hopefully Ina's frozen food line gets better reviews than Guy Fieri's Frozen Smore's Pizza, and her husband Jeffrey can understand the directions on the packaging.

What a sellout to promote this rubbish.
Money talks I guess.... Need that place in the Hamptons
ReplyDeleteI was skeptical but desperate for something frozen but good and not full of empty carbs. Directions were too simple. I threw out the mushy parsley and chopped some from the garden thinking at least I'd have something fresh even if the rest was ordinary. The final direction was to add salt and pepper to taste. I thought that was odd. Any dish worth its salt shouldn't need additional seasoning.
ReplyDeleteWith the first bite I was flabbergasted. It actually tasted like beef bourguignon! It was full of flavor, color, texture and didn't need anything. Glad I added the fresh parsley though.
Terrible name for a meal. When I'm trying to eat, some middle-aged lady's smelly, disgusting feet are not what I want to be thinking of.
