Our fondest memories of weeknight meals include some TV dinners. These frozen dinners were hardly a treat, instead, they were a convenient source of sustenance when no one had time to cook a whole meal. The steaming little trays with familiar comfort foods compartmentalized for convenience were a familiar staple in many busy households. These days, frozen dinners are still available but are a rarity in most households. High sodium contents and chemical additives force many to abandon the TV dinner. Despite the stigma with frozen goods frozen meals are experiencing a resurgence due to European influence. Our friends across the pond offer a wider assortment of frozen fare with more interesting options for our evolved taste buds. The French in particular, have indulged in frozen fare for years via frozen food specialty stores. Babeth’s Feast brings the concept to NYC’s Upper East Side with its new grocery shopping experience.
The items offered at Babeth’s are a far cry from the Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes of our youth. At this frozen food purveyor, consumers can please their palates with an exciting assortment of gourmet dishes and chef approved produce. The offerings are all neatly arranged and categorized for an easy shopping experience. If you’re not much of a cook but you love to entertain, the hors d’oeuvres section has sumptuous options like mini balsamic fig, goat cheese, and bacon flatbreads or our personal favorite crispy parmesan artichoke hearts. Babeth’s also offers an assortment of entree options including paprika braised lamb with turnips. For added convenience, you may purchase some of the entrees in family size or individual portions. Consumers can also customize a unique meal with a stunning array of side dishes and fully cooked protein options.
