Delicae Gourmet Review and Giveaway

Posted by Ellie-A Little of This and a Little of That at 3:18 PM

Normally we don't do boxed food or dinners.  We enjoy nice home cooking.  Recently I came across a website that had boxed slow cooker dinners.  I was curious so I contacted them and they agreed to a review and giveaway.  It's called Delicae Gourmet.  I was allowed to pick $25.00 worth of food which ended up being 4 boxes of slow cooked dinners.  I chose:  Big Easy Jambalaya, New England Clam Chowder, French Bistro Short Ribs, and good Old Fashioned Pot Roast.


I have to tell you, the first meal we tried was the New England clam Chowder.  It comes with packs of dehydrated vegetables, and a spice pack.  You have to purchase some ingredients yourself.  We had to buy clam juice, cans of clams, half & half, cream of mushroom soup, and vegetable broth to add to it.  Add all the ingredients in the slow cooker, you can either cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6 to 7 hours on low.  We chose to cook it on low.  It was delicious.  Absolutely delicious.  We were going to have it with a sandwich for dinner but it was so filling we decided not to make the sandwiches.  Then we had tried the French Bistro Short Ribs.  The ribs were so good the meat fell right off the bone. 

About Delicae Gourmet from the website:

My discovery and enjoyment of international cuisine during numerous world tours with Tina Turner developed into a growing passion for gourmet food.

My wife Barbara and I retired from the music industry in 1994 and relocated to a country estate in Florida where we began cultivating orchards and gardens. Barbara's flair for creating unique and exciting sauces and condiments inspired Delicaé Gourmet.

Pride, dedication and a commitment to the highest standards are reflected in all our products. Only the finest fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, coffees and teas are used to create our superb product blends. Each batch is individually hand prepared to assure our customers the best quality and taste.

We are honored to be the recipients of many prestigious awards for culinary excellence, including an award for Best New Product Line from the Specialty Coffee Association of America for our innovative Coffee Jellies.

We strive to bring you the best from our kettles to your kitchen.

Here is a list of the many categories that Delicae Gourmet carries:
