About Clipper Foods

Clipper Foods is a family business, founded in 1985 by Chef Klaus Diederich, to manufacture gourmet specialty foods for foodservice in the San Francisco Bay area.

Although our foodservice products have been enjoyed at the far points of the globe, until now they have been out of the reach of retail consumers anywhere. We are delighted to bring these fine gourmet entrees to you through DinnerDirect on the World Wide Web.

About DinnerDirect

DinnerDirect was founded by the next generation at Clipper Foods, who grew up enjoying memorable, "first-class" dining experiences and whose friends, from pre-school through college, have always enjoyed being asked on the spur of the moment to stay for dinner.

DinnerDirect brings the quality of those dining experiences to your table with near-effortless convenience. You can have the freedom to entertain on a moment's notice, even when life is hectic.

Older members of your family will appreciate having our easy-to-prepare entrees in the freezer, too, if shopping and cooking are difficult tasks. These products have been tested and approved by grandparents.

Here is the current selection of Clipper Foods entrées brought to you by DinnerDirect:

• FAST POUCH^TM Entrées, family-style heat-and-eat gourmet main dishes.

• CLASSIC Entrées, culinary-classic main courses with Madeira Sauce.

About Our Logo

Our clipper logo evokes the romance of the 19th century sailing vessels which plied the trade from ports in Europe and Asia to American cities with such success that by the 1870's, more than half the goods in Boston households had arrived in that city in the holds of the clipper ships.

At Clipper Foods, we like our logo's connotation of speed, elegance and efficiency, the promise of wonderful things brought from distant lands, and the experience of new and exotic flavors.

The clipper ship logo has family significance as well; great-great-grandfather - also a restaurateur - arrived in San Francisco via clipper ship, nearly one hundred and fifty years ago.
