GOURMET boil-in bags? Believe it.

Top chefs from America and France have put their toques together to create quick-cook dishes which can be ordered by phone or the internet and shipped within the U.S. in under 48 hours.

Daniel Boulud, Thomas Keller, Mark Miller, Reine Sammut, Charlie Trotter, Antoine Westermann and Gerard Bertholon partnered to form Five Leaf, freezing their haute cuisine in pouches to be warmed in hot water, or unbagged and heated in the oven. Dishes come with suggestions for plating and serving.

Boulud’s short ribs braised in red wine and Keller’s chicken breasts with fondue of leeks and chive puree are among the offerings. Prices range from $7.99 to $8.99 for soups, $9.99 to $17.99 for appetizers, and $9.99 to $29.99 for entrees.
