Brighten Up Your Life
with Sorrento Lemon Olive Oil!
I remember the little lemons my Mom had in her garden in Pacific Grove. Tiny, they were like pieces of candy and their thin skin made them easy to eat right off the tree. You could pop them in your mouth and each one was sweet with a twist of tang. Some would curl your eyelids up from the tart, acid bite, but all would finish with a unique tangerine-like sweetness.
I also remember some 25 years ago when I first had a just-pressed olive oil from the Abruzzo region of Italy. It was an eye-opening, a PhD forehead-slapping “why didn’t I think of that?” moment! It was the moment that my tastebuds and I realized that not all things we preconceive to be the same are the same at all.
Sometimes we must wait for great things to come together – in this case, crushed together. Olives and citrus are a wonderful combination – a symbiotic relationship, if you will. Like they were meant to be together!
The aroma of this magical combination will first fill your nose with a delightful citrus sweetness. Pour a big spoonful and every whiff thereafter is pleasing! On the first tip of the spoon the oil coats the lips as the tongue dips in. The aroma fills the void above the tongue and the lemon nips at the sensors around your teeth.
When you finally squeeze the lemon oil to the back of the mouth as your tongue presses to the roof, there is a tingle and sometimes a poke at the back of the throat, like any good olive oil from Italy.
The Sorrento lemon is a wonderful match with Abruzzo Olive Oil, where the lemon is allowed to shine through.
Filled with goodness with claims of cleaning gallbladders and livers and destroying gallstones which may be overhyped and without proof, we do know it is good for the heart and mind because it makes you feel happy!
Taste it once and you will want a bottle for your own. Like a great bar of chocolate, you might feel compelled to hide it from your family, to only pull it out in the darkness of night to drizzle on your small plate of Mori pasta and sea salt.
If you do feel like sharing, start with a citrus salad of orange and grapefruit. Then take your best grilled pheasant (or chicken), and your veggies and drizzle over all to finish your plate!
You will love this oil because it will be gentle with your lettuce salad and add jazz to a wonderful fish. Blend with a long spaghetti and calamari and garlic and you will have a bit of heaven.
Sorrento Lemon Olive Oil is one of our all-time favorites and ranks as essential for your pantry!

Primo Pan Foglie di Mais
Crunchy Corn Cookies
You’ll go crackers for these cookies!
They’re light, delicate, crunchy and a pleasure to eat.
What do they have in common with potato chips, Fritos, Dad jokes, and the air you breathe?
You can’t have just some! More is necessary to stay alive and to truly appreciate them.
Primo Pan Corn Cookies match perfectly with a good red wine after dinner and are just as good as a morning biscuit with your coffee.
With a hint of vanilla, the cookies have a perfect crumble crunch that is way better than an Oreo – and Oreos don’t pair well with wine. They’re made with wheat flour and corn, and the result is a lighter-than-air snacking cookie that complements the usual suspects, like Moscato d’Asti. And they are not too sweet to pair with something like Crema di Pistachio from Sicily.
For those of you who don’t indulge in coffee, wine, Oreos, or Pistachios, these delightful treats can skinny dip in your tea. You can eat them when home alone, unadorned and naked, without any outside judging eyes. If they are your cup of tea, you’ll wonder how you haven’t crunched on them long ago!

Potage de Crecy Purëed Carrot Soup
recipe
I love carrot soup. It is so easy and you get to eat carrots without feeling like a rabbit. Using rice as a thickener is so much more appealing than flour or some other gluten-based ingredient. Ginger adds a subtle pop and a nice healthy twist.
The key though is that you can change each bowl of soup by adding an additional topping to mix in or as a garnish, like plum sauce or pumpkin seed oil!

Black Ginger Syrup
with Hebesu Syrup!
I add this ginger almost everyday to everything I eat. Not everything works with it, though it is amazing how well it can enhance some everyday (sometimes mundane) dishes!
Adding it to stir fry makes a lot of sense as it matches the flavor profile if you are making something wok-like, and the ginger adds a little liquid to it all, as well.
What I like the most about this unique Black Ginger Syrup is the amazing potency of ginger qualities, though it is not super gingery like raw ginger. And that it incentivizes you to be creative.
From baking, to salads, to stovetop cooking, it is a sweetener with a unique twist of fun!

Sgambaro Penne Rigate Pasta
a great shape of things to come
This is a traditional penne rigate, drawn through bronze, so that the surface is rough, and ready to take whatever sauce you give it.
Penne is perhaps, by name, the best known tubular shaped pasta. Think of a large straw with ribs that go vertically, which is cut diagonally, the length being about 5 times the diameter of the tube.
I consider this an old reliable shape which works well with almost any recipe, from a simple sauce to mac'n'cheese! This is a good shape to always have on hand. Big kids love it!

Hungarian Paprika
Sweet - Szeged
Synonymous with Chicken Paprikash! Of course there are many recipes that call for Sweet Hungarian Paprika.
The first recipe that comes to mind for me is the Chicken Paprikash recipe from Chef Louis at the famous Bakery Restaurant in Chicago. (Page 114 The Bakery Restarurant Cookbook © 1981, a cookbook worth having by the way).
Chef Louis has two important tips about Paprikash.
1) It's Hungarian Goulash (when using beef), and when you add sour cream it becomes Paprikash.
2) "Only the best Hungarian paprika will give the very special taste that Chicken Paprikash is famous for."
Szeged Paprika can be used in so many dishes including Mac'n'Cheese. Regardless of how you plan to use it, Szeged Sweet Hungarian Paprika is one of the best.

Primo Pan Drolo Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies
One of my all-time favorite cookies!
And they are back-in-stock!
These crunch-filled Chocolate Hazelnut cookies are to die for. Well, perhaps not quite that far. But they are are pretty gosh darn good!
Open the package and you instantly get a sweet whiff of cocoa and hazelnut! Perfectly lovely! The bite has a nice crispness to it and as you chew you get crunchy bites of hazelnut bits.
I found these flourless chocolate hazelnut cookies hard to resist. Eat with contentment.
Different than flour-based cookies, the crunch and the bite are a great experience. If you like crunchy and chocolate cookies, these are fabulous!
Raise your expectations to a new plane and you will be happy and filled with hazelnuts and dark chocolate!

Easy Homemade Chocolate Cake
recipe!
I use crushed Drolo cookies in the bottom of this recipe for a nice touch!
With just four ingredients, the only skill you need is mixing (and a little melting) to make this drop dead delicious cake!
The best thing about this cake is that it is totally forgiving. Getting it perfect might not be possible, as there is no perfect. It is chocolate, butter, sugar and eggs! You can make it, most likely, right out of what you have in your pantry.
Remember to use only really good chocolate for the best success in this extra rich chocolate cake recipe. It is one of the best if not the best chocolate cake recipe on the planet and is a family favorite! Thanks to David!

Watergate Salad Jell-O
a family Recipe!
Ok, this is like crazy easy. If you have a bowl and can mix then you are all set! It's not a salad, and not gourmet. It is sweet and an interesting mix of flavors. It is a bit strange and not for everyone. It takes no time to make, it is wicked fun to mix together and at the end, with spoon in hand it is super fun to eat!
