HOME BISTRO LAUNCHES MOTHER’S DAY RECIPE CONTEST CELEBRATING MOM AND MEMORIES

April 23, 2007; Plattsburgh, New York –Today, Home Bistro, the leading provider of chef-prepared frozen meals, announces its first ever recipe contest, "Just Like Mom Used To Make." The contest will celebrate mothers, meals and memories by seeking the tastiest recipes, submitted by those who enjoy them the most - family. Home Bistro will announce the winning recipe on Mother's Day and serve it up as the newest addition to its line of meals.

After announcing the winning recipe, Home Bistro chefs will use the innovative process called "sous vide" to bring that recipe to life. It's a cooking technique they've refined for the past 20 years. The chefs will do all the shopping and chopping, create the meal, then vacuum seal and flash-freeze it at precisely the right moment, locking in the full flavor and texture one would expect from mom's kitchen. The only difference? This meal can be prepared in ten minutes with nothing more than a pot of boiling water.

Home Bistro knows that the foods we eat are an important part of family life and an intrinsic part of creating family memories. It's an idea reinforced for the company almost every day. "We receive requests from customers all the time, requesting that we turn much-loved recipes into Home Bistro meals," says Home Bistro Executive Chef Scott Stillman, "Those requests inspired us to cook up this contest."

Entering the contest is as quick and easy as preparing a Home Bistro meal. Contestants may submit one recipe for a main dish online at www.homebistro.com or send it to Home Bistro at Recipe Contest, Home Bistro Foods, Inc., 190 Banker Road, Plattsburgh, NY 12901. The contest will run until May 1, 2007.

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