Hard to pronounce, fantastic to eat

Kouign Amann (pronounced [kwin a mãn]; pl. kouignoù-amann) is a Breton cake. It is a round crusty cake, originally made with bread dough (nowadays sometimes viennoiserie dough), containing layers of butter and sugar folded in, similar in fashion to puff pastry albeit with fewer layers. The cake is slowly baked until the butter puffs up the dough (resulting in the layered aspect of it) and the sugar caramelizes. The effect is similar to a muffin-shaped, caramelized croissant. Kouign Amann is a speciality of the town of Douarnenez in Finistère, Brittany, France where it originated around 1860. The invention is attributed to Yves-René Scordia (1828–1878). Comes frozen and easy to bake! Just butter and sugar a cupcake mold. Place Kouign Amann in the mold. Bake 375˚F/190˚C for approximately 19 minutes (ovens vary). Remove immediately from the mold, to avoid product form sticking.

Chef Aurélien Dufour was born amidst the rich food and wine culture of Bordeaux, and spent his childhood in Germany where he was introduced to the charcuterie tradition. Aurélien’s natural talent was apparent, and he learned from the talented Chef Gérard Berranger, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France-distinguished Charcutier (the highest and most prestigious award in France in the food industry). There, Aurélien learned the technique and tradition of French charcuterie, steeped in history, with recipes passed down over generations. He mastered pâtés, terrines, galantines, ballotines, crépinettes and sausages, and also participated in many charcuterie competitions.

What is a Tracklement?

Posted by Bea Davis on Feb 15, 2017 4:43:00 PM

A tracklement is a savoury condiment (for example a mustard, relish or chutney), especially one served with meat.  Coined in its current sense by the English cookery writer Dorothy Hartley in her book Food in England in 1954, but probably derived from a similar dialect word with variant spellings (e.g. tranklement, tanchiment) used before that date across North and Central England and meaning "ornaments, trinkets; bits of things".

We offer a classic variety of authentic British tracklements:

  • Fresh Mint Jelly- Sweet mint jelly with a hint of lemony tartness.
  • Traditional Mint Sauce- A more potent and less sweet mint concentrate with cider vinegar.
  • Strong Horseradish Cream- Pungent horseradish sauce mellowed by fresh cream.
  • Cranberry, Port and Orange Sauce- Tart sauce with cranberries, orange zest, and Port.
  • Spiced Plum Chutney- Chutney containing Stanley plums.
  • Apple and Cider Brandy Chutney- Kentish Bramley apples and a liberal measure of Somerset cider brandy.

Think about the pairings!  Hot or cold roasted meats, mature cheeses, meat pies, toasted sandwiches ....  or Duck Breast with Plum Chutney!  See the assortment.Duck Breasts in Plum Sauce with Tracklements Plum Chutney_1.jpg

Eight Great Bitters To Add to Your Bar

Posted by Bea Davis on Feb 13, 2017 1:37:00 PM
Bitters provide a burst of flavor in many of today's exciting cocktails and form the foundation for many of the classics as well.  Bitters often provide the underlying tastes that bring complexity to a drink without obscuring the primary spirits.  And they often amplify the flavor notes of the main component.
RhubarbCocktail.jpg

Eight interesting new bitters to consider:

  • Black Walnut
  • Whiskey Barrel Bitters
  • Rhubarb
  • Peach
  • Plum
  • Cranberry
  • Celery

See these new products and our complete selection of bitters.

Be generous!  When a cocktail calls for a "dash" of bitters, it doesn't mean to extract a single drop from the bottle.  Give the bottle a healthy forward jab, or as many as the recipe suggests.
