Gourmet Gift Baskets

Gourmet means simply “good food”

And “good food” is what we look for when selecting the products that we use in our gourmet food gift baskets. We try to find products that taste good, are packaged well, and are not common items in your local grocery or discount store. Also see our selection of Cheese and Meat Gift Baskets.

In today's fast-paced world, showing that we care about someone is more important than ever. If we can't be there in person to give a hug, a gourmet gift basket may be the answer.

But why gourmet? What does that word really mean? Gourmet doesn't have to mean caviar and truffles. At its core, gourmet simply means "good food." Everyone -- from the mom who has just given birth to a new baby to the top executive in the corporate world appreciates and enjoys good food.

Each section of the country -- or even the world -- has their own version of good food. In the deep South, where I grew up, good food included grits, fried chicken, biscuits and butter, chicken and dumplings, and banana pudding. Just a bit further west but still southern country, cajun tastes were more spicy with rice. shrimp, catfish, and okra as popular ingredients.

When I married a man from California, a whole new spectrum of "gourmet food" was introduced to me. On our first trip to California, I discovered when grits with morning eggs suddenly changed to hash browns and as well as new southwestern style tastes. In California, there were new "exotic to me" foods like artichokes and brussel sprouts, squid and abalone. Green salads replaced the potato salads that we referred to in the south as just salad. And my Italian mother-in-law showed me polenta and gnocchi.

All of this is "simply good food" which makes each different food and taste gourmet to those who enjoy it.
