Food Processing - Food Handling

“I am excited to work with other moms that have terrific products. With the addition of the Gourmet Tote to the Mom Invented eBay store, it also shows that not every product invented by moms has to be kid related. The Gourmet Tote solves the food transport issue we all have when attending holiday dinners, potlucks or just food related events we share with friends and family. Moms in general invent all sorts of products, we tend to be problem solvers. I like the idea of ‘moms helping moms’ and see this as an opportunity to offer customers an array of mom invented products,” says Leianne Messina-Brown, Creator and CEO of Gourmet Tote.

Mom Inventors, Inc. established by a mother and inventor in early 2003, is founded on the principle that many of the best and most unique ideas come directly from their target market – Moms. In addition to developing its own brand of Mom Invented™ products, Mom Inventors, Inc., licenses products, as well as supports other mom inventors in taking their product ideas to market.

The Gourmet Tote is the patented revolutionary, award winning, thermally insulated food, wine and casserole carrier with a convertible and removable shelving unit for carrying multiple casseroles, prepared dishes, appetizers and beverages in separate compartments. With its patented design, it allows you to bring the whole meal (wine, main course and dessert) to dinners and picnics without stacking items. The Gourmet Tote can be used for dinner parties, potlucks, tailgate parties, supper clubs, picnics and outdoor concerts. Its thermal lining (the same fabric used in pizza delivery bags) will keep hot items hot and cold items cold, and hot and cold separately. The Gourmet Tote also features a utensil holder, side pockets for personal accessories like car keys, wallet and cell phone and rubber stoppers on the bottom so contents don’t shift in travel. The tote carries and looks like a top of the line briefcase or carry-on suitcase.

Ms. Messina-Brown created the Gourmet Tote out of a personal need. She entertains in her home frequently and attends quite a few food related social gatherings every month. She realized she and her guests were transporting their prepared dishes in paper bags, canvas totes or simply boxes. This followed an uncomfortable car ride where hot plates were either wedged on the floor or hazardously placed on laps. She wanted the ability to bring more than one prepared dish, food item and perhaps a bottle of wine without stacking things on top of each other. She wanted something functional as well as fashionable when she showed up at functions. When her research came up with nothing compared to what she wanted, she decided to design one herself. The Gourmet Tote was born and www.GourmetTote.com went live in April of 2003.
