I'D LOVE A REALLY SPECTACULAR MEAL TO CHEER ME UP, BUT I DON'T
FEEL LIKE GOING OUT. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Lucky for you, it's the
21st century and Impromptu Gourmet delivers. The company's seven
participating chefs are all big-time, and their signature dishes
delicious (we tried them). Choose from Jean-Georges
Vongerichten's Loin of Lamb with Black Trumpet Mushroom Crust
(Jean-Georges), Eric Ripert's Shrimp with Bok Choy and
Soy-Ginger Vinaigrette (Le Bernardin), David Burke's Filet
Mignon with Bacon and Polenta Cakes (Park Avenue Cafe), and four
other main courses. No, the restaurants do not deliver
personally, but for $53 they will overnight-mail you the makings
of a meal for two in vacuum-sealed pouches, along with detailed
cooking instructions. Allow two days for delivery; 866-467-7662,
