Dear Flavor Lovers:
Boy, did we have a busy Thanksgiving! It was great to see so many people in
the store hungry for great things to put on Thursday’s table. The mood was
joyful, the pace hectic, and all of it completely enjoyable. With full
stomachs, we’ve slid quietly into the official holiday season. Gift and grocery lists
are out in full force. And good food is still a top priority. There are
already some fantastic items in the store perfect for parties, hostess gifts, and
wish lists. Read all about them in the upcoming FreshNews bulletins or check
them out for yourself in the store!
Don’t Call It Fruitcake! Luscious Panettone from Italy
When you put the words “Christmas” and “cake” together, folks
automatically tend to think of the dense, almost unidentifiable lumps of fruitcake. You
know, the eternally recycled gift, doomed to be passed along from person to
person, office party to family party.
But if you haven’t already discovered the wonders of Italian Christmas
pastry, there’s reason to not wrinkle your nose and feign politeness. Panettone is
a lightly and eggy cake studded with the region’s best candied fruits, nuts,
and just about anything creative from its maker. This year, we’re featuring
two kinds. If candied fruit just isn’t your thing, you’re in luck. Colavolpe’
s Fig & Chocolate Panettone offers succulent dried Italian figs and chunks of
dark chocolate. These toothsome morsels are suspended in a golden eggy domed
cake, topped with Marzipan. While the classic pannettone, from La Vecchia
Dispensa, contain plump raisins soaked in their own balsamic vinegar. Both
varieties are splendid for a party or a solitary treat. Serve in slices or pair
with a favorite gelato. And in the off chance that you have any leftover,
simply slice them and use them in a favorite French toast or bread pudding
recipe!
Colavolpe Fig & Chocolate Panettone (Italy)—$39.00/each
La Vecchia Dispensa (Italy)—$29.00/each
Party Time—LHF Party Platters
This is the time of year when über-hosts/hostesses gear up and party animals
rejoice. Sandwiched between holidays, December is jam-packed with dinner
parties, cocktail parties, and any sort of party in between. And what do they
all have in common? Good food! Whether it’s simple finger foods or a lavish
multi-course spread, our kitchen’s new catering menu has everything you need to
pull off the best holiday party, effortlessly.
The complete menu features cheese platters, like the All-American with
coast-to-coast selections from the country’s premiere cheese makers. On the lighter
end, there are veggie platters with delectable organic produce and the
flavorful Mediterranean Antipasti platter. Meat-lovers will appreciate the
charcuterie selections with the world’s best cured meat to go with their glass of
red wine. And what’s a party without convenient and delicious finger foods
like juicy paprika-spiked meatballs and goat cheese and pine nut-stuffed Crimini
mushrooms to enjoy between sips of bubbly?
And in case you need a whole lotta help with your holiday gathering, we can
even arrange full catering operations with complete menus for brunch, lunch,
and dinner! Call us or check out the menu selections at the Cheese &
Charcuterie counter.

Holiday Roasts
Don’t think turkey consumption is over just yet. Wight Family Farms is ready
for another round of holiday evening and will have fresh local free-range,
hormone and antibiotic-free turkeys ready for the oven. But if guests are
waving the white flag at the mention of turkey, consider a succulent ham from
Niman Ranch. These flavorful hams come from family farms throughout the Midwest
that raise their pigs in open pastures without antibiotics and growth
hormones. You can really taste the difference from supermarket brands. But if you’re
yearning for something really traditional, we can order fresh goose from D’
Artagnan. Honey-roasted goose with whole chestnuts, anyone?
Wight Family Farms Free-Range Turkey—$1.99/lb
Niman Ranch Ham—$6.49/lb
Fresh D’Artagnan Christmas Goose—$11.99/lb
