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.
