Grocery - December 2007
Dear Food Lover:
The vibrant festivities of the holiday season bring with it all sorts of exciting foods to try. Some are traditional and familiar, while others are new and exotic. For the month of December, we'd like to bring you a little bit of both.
What would the Christmas meal be without chestnuts? Our
first article discusses Eric Burr steamed chestnuts. You can get some ideas for wonderful side dishes for your holiday dinner.
If you're having family and friends over for a formal occasion, you'll probably want to start the meal with some appetizers. Read our
second article about Les Moulains Mahjoub spreads.
We're also pleased to announce that Balducci's limited edition extra virgin olive oil is back for the season. Read our
third article to learn more about it.
Once you've explored our grocery aisles, don't forget to visit the dairy and frozen sections for more entertaining ideas. Here are a few items to look out for.
Don't even think about having a Christmas get-together without eggnog! The rich, creamy treat has been part of the festivities for centuries, so keep the tradition going. Read about our offering from Lewes Dairy, a small town operation in Delaware, in the
fourth article.
If you are planning to do the cooking yourself, then you'll be interested in our selection of soup stocks called Perfect Addition. Our
fifth article will provide you with all you need to know.
Are you hoping to serve elegant appetizers at your holiday party, but you don't have the time to make them yourself? Try White Toque's line of easy to prepare escargot. Our
last article provides more information.
From all of us in the Grocery department, have the happiest of holidays!
