It's a Kitchen

Some businesses open their doors with Open House; Entrée Vous opened their’s with an Open Kitchen. And where you can prepare your take home food or order it for delivery. The concept is as fresh as the ingredients they use. For those of us who love to cook and eat healthy, but do not have the time, Entrée Vous offers an alternative that combines the best of both worlds. The food is prepared in-house by chef Nicole Puello. The final touches are given at home. In most cases it only involves placing the goodies in the oven and voila. Dinner is ready.
The menu changes every month and it includes a wide variety of fish, meats, vegetables and deserts. Their signature Mesa Verde flank steak stiffed with a mixture of spinach, cheese and mushrooms is appealing to the eyes and the palate. The Bavarian crusted pork chops with orange mustard sauce will make your mouth jump with excitement, and the apple cobbler is as decadent as it is delicious; just bake for 40 minutes and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Your family and guests will think you spent the entire day in the kitchen.
Whether you are cooking for two or 20, Entrée Vous has the solution. You can choose full or half portions. Items can be delivered if ordered 24 hours in advance. Owner-manager Patricia Rodriguez, a former clinical nurse, keeps the place shining, but the food is anything but sterile. Patrons can prepare the food themselves on the kitchen counter under the supervision of the chef. "Men love it, because by the end of the sessions, they actually feel like they have done all the cooking. The final step happens at home, just place it in the oven," says the chef. "We make sure all our ingredients are fresh. People want to eat healthy, but there are few alternatives, and it is usually time consuming. We are making this process as easy as possible," expressed Rodriguez with her characteristic wide smile.
The concept works like this. Go online and place the order a few hours in advance. Pick it up or have it delivered. Once you receive your food, follow the easy instructions and enjoy a healthy, delicious homemade meal with very little effort. Then spend your precious time around the table with family and leave the cooking to your friends at Entrée Vous.
