Welcome to Entree Vous. As a busy, working mother I know the pressure of having to put fresh, tasty, nutritious dinners on the table, night after night. But because I'm also a Cordon Bleu-trained chef and caterer, I decided to do something about it. So I started Entree Vous. I think it's a smart new way to put good food on the table. And give people the time to enjoy it. Harriet Dupree Bradley Meal assembly is one of the fastest growing segments in the food service industry. Since 2003, Entree Vous, founded by A-list chef and caterer Harriet Dupree Bradley has been at the cutting edge, making it easy and affordable for active families, professionals and empty nesters to put a home cooked meal on the table. All in about 10 minutes per entrée. At a cost per person well below that of fast food.
