SplendidPalate.com was distinguished from 20,000 businesses across the United States as one of the Top 50 Gift Basket Businesses in America", as well as one of the Top 50 Fastest Growing".

(PRWEB) July 21, 2005 -- The Editors of Gift Basket Review recently announced that Millerton, New York based Splendid Palate won top honors. Owner Kristen Nweeia received the splendid news from Debra Paulk, Publisher of Gift Basket Review Magazine. Splendid Palate was distinguished from 20,000 businesses across the United States as one of the Top 50 Gift Basket Businesses in America," as well as one of the Top 50 Fastest Growing."

I was pleasantly surprised by this award," commented Kristen. This was encouraging news for an area that continues to grow within my primary interest of fine European gourmet food items."

Nweeia, who balances the jobs of being a new mom and owner of the growing enterprise is doing plenty of right during a time when many similar companies are struggling. With the Euro running strong against the dollar and the available choices of large food shops for the consumer, we have to be both flexible and committed to quality" commented Nweeia. And committed she is, as she recently launched a new web site, the French Food & Lavender Market www.french-food.biz.

The original and main site www.splendidpalate.com continues to flourish, having just been redesigned and expanded. But Nweeia wanted to focus a bit on the French country style that originally attracted and inspired her concept, something she could do with this smaller boutique site. For the well traveled tourist or weekend gourmet, Kristen has found the products that are normally hidden within the traditions of European cuisine. In the crowded maze of Web food outlets and gourmet shops, the little gem in Millerton, New York is shining.
