Win a Home Cooked Dinner from Pomegranate!
If you're as busy as we are, there are many nights during the week when you wished someone would just drop off a home-cooked meal, ready to eat. If you're a Marin resident, you're lucky enough to have Teena Granat of Pomegranate: Home Cooking for Modern Lives to do this for you! A Fairfax resident since the '70s, Chef Teena has long been a caterer in central Marin. She recently launched a family-oriented dinner delivery service, inspired by time spent with her daughter and grandson, and dedicated helping families come together at dinner time, even if they don't have time to put together a fresh home-cooked meal.
Pomegranate currently delivers on Monday and Thursday evenings to Fairfax, San Anselmo, San Rafael, and Ross, and Tuesdays to San Francisco.

We recently sampled some of Pomegranate's fare, and it was a hit with everyone in the house. We tried Mama's brisket, served with caramelized onions, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables (a creative and tasty combination of broccoli, caulflower, Swiss chard, and parsnips). Everything was delicious, and even the pickiest eater in our family (our five-year-old, naturally) had two helpings. The brisket was moist and melt-in-your-mouth tender, cooked with plenty of sliced onions and carrot pieces. Who knew we'd all argue over who got the last braised carrot?
Heating the meal couldn't have been easier: we just popped the foil tray into the oven at 375º until everything was nice and hot (about 20 minutes or so). On top of it all, Chef Teena is one of the nicest people you'll meet, too.
