Looking for delivered, pre-prepared meals

[gkx]

Anyone have any suggestions for a service in Austin that will deliver pre-prepared meals directly to one's home?

This is for someone who is quite ill and would greatly benefit from this service.

Thanks!

I found your post, and wanted to find out how this worked out for you? Considering the same thing... except for me, and I'm not ill, just need something healthy and available when we get home from work.

About six months ago the chronicle did a break down of all the services. That might be useful

I have had food delivered from Ate and was very pleased with the selection. The food is healthy and the menu inventive. I know several other people who have used them for gifts after new babies arrive or things of the sort and many have remained regular customers because the quality is so high.

THANK YOU to everyone who contributed ideas! Just to round out the list, I received two additional recommendations:
http://www.dishalicious.com/ - Meals with support of local farmers/producers
http://www.trishdelish.com/ - Organic soups, salads, entrees, baked goods

Someone posted a while back about a similar service that delivered French cuisine, but I can't find the thread.

Nevermind, found it. It's Le Marseillais - http://www.bistrolemarseillais.com/de... - run by folks from Chez Nous.

Studio Kitchen also has a delivery service and you can pick which entrees you want from their monthly menu.

I've used Diet Gourmet, many times, they deliver, or you can pick-up.
You can order online, or by phone, for about 20.00 a day (excluding delivery)

They deliver for free and the food is amazing!

Years and years ago, before there was daylight, I worked at a drug store cafe combination called Tower Drug over on San Jacinto. They had a daily plate lunch for 85 cents. We had a customer who would order it to go and we would call a cab to deliver it. She paid the cab driver. There may be some places in Austin who would do that for you if you wanted to go to the expense.

Another great option is the Soup Peddler. They deliver once a week and they have a lot of great items. You can order online at http://www.souppeddler.com.

Have you tried Meals on Wheels? It sounds like that's exactly what you're looking for. http://www.mealsonwheelsandmore.org/

Thanks for the suggestion, and sorry that I wasn't clearer. This is actually something that we will pay for, so I was hoping for some company or individual that provided high-quality meals (e.g., once a week they would bring you a week's worth of pre-prepared meals)...

Doorbell Dinners (www.doorbelldinners.com) are really good. They are also fairly flexible with how they prepare your order, in case there are special dietary requirements.
