Special Dinners are a Breeze With Gourmet Delivered Meals

Whether you're planning a dinner party or a special Sunday supper, Williams Sonoma makes it easy to order prepared meals right to your door. With everything from elegant hors d'ouevres and traditional sides to full meals of comfort food favorites like fried chicken, lasagna and meat loaf, Williams Sonoma has everything you need for an incredible dining experience.

The Details

If you're hosting a cocktail or dinner party and don't want to hire a caterer or spend days making tons of hors d'oeuvres, Williams Sonoma has you covered. All of their appetizers are shipped frozen on dry ice and can be kept frozen until ready to bake. This collection of prepared appetizers includes casual options like pigs in a blanket that would be perfect for your next game day gathering, as well as more sophisticated options like assorted brie bites, which would look impressive displayed on a serving tray. There are light choices like mini vegetable quiches as well as more substantial items like mini lobster grilled cheeses. Additional options include:

• Mini Beef Wellington Bites
• Assorted Veggie Empanadas
• Mini Stuffed Potato Skins
• Assorted Arancini Bites
• Filet of Beef with Mushroom Duxelle en Croute
• Assorted Frittata Bites

When you don't feel like cooking but still want to put a special meal on the table, turn to Williams Sonoma's prepared meals. Shipped frozen, they can be kept in the freezer until you need them, so you'll never be without a plan for dinner. You can order just a main dish like BBQ pork tenderloin and opt to make the sides yourself, or you can order an all-in-one option like the Complete Southern Fried Chicken Dinner for 4, which comes with 10 pieces of chicken, two pounds of crispy fingerling potatoes, two pounds of cornbread with bourbon barrel-aged sorghum butter and a quart of collard greens. If you like to handle the main dish but need help with the bread and sides, you can opt to order just the accompaniments. This option comes in particularly handy around the holidays or anytime that you're cooking for a crowd. Your guests would no doubt be delighted to see any of these options on the table:

• Creamed Spinach & Kale with Parmesan
• Herbed Scalloped Potatoes
• Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
• Rainbow Carrots with Lemon Herbs
• Bacon Macaroni and Cheese
• Green Bean Casserole (also available gluten-free)
• Sharp Cheddar Biscuits
• Parker House Rolls

The Perfect Gift

Gourmet-delivered meals are great for simplifying your own life, but they also make incredibly thoughtful gifts for anyone who might find themselves short on time to cook. If you're looking for an outside-the-box gift for new parents, consider pairing a gift of some gourmet coffee with one of Williams Sonoma's Three Days of Entrees packages, which are available in a number of themes that include gluten-free and vegetarian options. The Three Days of Chicken Entrees package includes chicken enchiladas, a cassoulet and chicken cannelloni bianco. Each of those delicious entrées serves two to three people. If your recipient needs to feed a crowd, consider the Three Days of Family Style Entrees, which comes with a lasagna, bacon ranch mac & cheese and baked ziti with chicken pesto, each of which serves at least nine people. If you're feeling extra generous, include a set of food storage containers with your gourmet delivered meals so that the leftovers don't go to waste.
