The Beverly Hills Kitchen was created Alex Hitz whose life-long passion for cooking and hosting elaborate parties for his famous friends, inspired him to start a chef-prepared food line that combines restaurant-quality cuisine with the ease and intimacy of at-home dining. For those super busy families who love fine dining, but lack the time or skills to cook delicious, classic dinners such as beef bourguignon, The Beverly Hills Kitchen’s entrees are designed for convenience— frozen and ready in ten minutes.
I am always looking for ways to get my children to eat beef and protein. I just don’t know how to get it into their tummies. They look at me and the food and say “all done”. I was positive they wouldn’t eat this but figured it was a free sample and I should make it for lunch. I needed to review it anyways. So, I boiled some water and put the frozen pouch in it and let it heat up for 10 minutes and served it over bread. It might be gourmet but it didn’t look like it from my end. Tasted like it though, I was trying to concentrate on the different flavors but it’s hard when you are sick. I thought I tasted some cinnamon with a little bit of a kick. Hard to say though, my taste buds are out of whack.
All I know is that my kids at enough of it to surprise me. They didn’t eat it all but much more than I expected.
The Beverly Hills Kitchen’s Beef Bourguignon includes five 8oz. portions of prime tender meat, simmered for four hours in a full-bodied red wine sauce with carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic, shallots, basil and Dijon mustard. Paired with rice, pasta, potatoes, a simple salad, or just on its own, this classic French comfort dish is a restaurant meal on-scale with the finest Parisian dining in the comfort of your own home.
The Beverly Hills Kitchen Beef Bourguignon is currently available on QVC for $45 throughout the month of October. Other flavors to look forward to are:
New Orleans style Bread Pudding;
Shrimp and Grits;
Sirloin and Potato Pie;
Salmon Pot Pie;
and Lemon and Ginger Bars

I really don’t cook that much, it is mostly ready to eat or easy to fix from Whole Foods, Gelsons or Trader Joes
I make a nice steak and potato dinner which is about as fancy as I cook
I add wine to a lot of my recipes
I cook unusual things to cook fancy
How do I cook fancy?
Well, I’m just a copy cat.

(Thanks to Guy Fieri and Big Daddy Aaron McCargo!)
Crown roast for family reunions!
I love to eat fancy but I don’t cook fancy.
Nobody except me in my household appreciates fancy cooking, so it’s just not worth the effort.
Thanks for the giveaway!

When I cook fancy, it comes from the oven, not the microwave.

When I cook fancy I prepare a classic recipe maybe Lobster or Steak. I get ideas from the mear market at the supermarket or from a classic recipe book.
I love to prepare gourmet meals, when I have the time. And,my family loves it too!

I just started cooking fancy a little more often. I hate normal cooking because I like the meal to be an event. Cooking fancy takes time and energy, which are two things I mostly lack. However, I’m getting there. I pick a couple of recipes from one of my 75 cook books (for real) and have at it.

To me cooking fancy is having all the extras from appetizers, a special salad, accompanying vegetables, hot rolls or other specialty bread and a dessert. The meal itself doesn’t have to be fancy but the extras make it special.
