Tennessee Original Becomes Online Gourmet Favorite

The growth of online gourmet food retailing has made it easier than ever before for Americans to satisfy their growing appetite for authentic traditional foods. Since its recent launch, online gourmet food retailer MyGourmetCookingShop.com has experienced strong sales of its gourmet dessert lines, demonstrating that despite the strength of the fast food industry, Americans have not lost their taste for authentic regional recipes, such as Tennessee T-Cakes, made with high-quality ingredients.

(PRWEB) September 25, 2006 -- Recently-launched online gourmet retailer MyGourmetCookingShop.com has reported strong sales of traditional regional specialty desserts such as cakes and pies since its online store opened its doors. It seems that despite the concerns resulting from high-profile media coverage of the popularity of fast food, the fresh, traditional dessert dishes sold by MyGourmetCookingShop.com have not lost their appeal to many Americans. The site features specialty cakes such as Tropical Orange Sunrise Cake, Pecan Apricot Cake and Chocolate Amaretto Cake, as well as traditional and classic kitchenware and accessories.

The growth of the online gourmet food industry has meant that distance is no longer a barrier to buying gourmet regional foods.

"Our strongest sales since launching our online store last month have been of gourmet food items, especially those based on traditional, regional recipes", says N.T. Mills, CEO of MyGourmetCookingShop.com's parent company, Brantley Distribution, Inc.

Mills went on to add, "The growth of the online gourmet food industry has meant that distance is no longer a barrier to buying gourmet regional foods."

One remarkably successful example of this has been the popularity of the Tennessee T-Cakes sold on the MyGourmetCookingShop.com site.

Made to an authentic traditional recipe in a small shop in Nashville, Tennessee, the T-cakes have become a sensation in recent months, with online demand rocketing following the T-cakes' appearances on Oprah Winfrey's show and more recently on the FoodNetwork TV's Road Tasted show, hosted by Bobby and Jamie Deen.

Mills notes that online gourmet food retailing has been growing steadily for several years. She believes that one of the reasons for this is a growing desire for a healthier and more traditional diet – paradoxically, the internet is helping many Americans to achieve this by removing geographical barriers and making good quality gourmet dessert foods easier to find than in the past.
