Pelton (Publisher - William H. McCauley), presents a nice blend of these cultures and the practicalities of living in a large, diverse country.
The history, personalities, techology and art of cooking are all covered throughout this book; cool stories about ealry Americans and…

I've been writing about independent chocolatiers across the world on my blog chocolatetrekker for about a year. Some of mine are below. What are yours?
I an real happy to have found a place where I can express my cooking fantasies, I am cooking for as long I am married,that is 40 years,but I started to create my own recipes since I became a vegetarian and started to read books for eating healthy,books on how to mix the foods and what foods our stomach absorbs first than others ,so we don`t create toxines in our system that becomes fat,I have learnt to eat when hungry,and since we built our house in thecountry,I grow my own vegetables,and…

In a land dominated by big brand candy corporations what a pleasure it was to come across a collection of outstanding chocolates from Mary's Chocolatier in Japan. We tasted Mary's Fancy Chocolate collection which was given to us by a friend who just returned from a vacation in Japan. This is a collection of 13 delicious chocolates, each with its own unique look and flavors.

Puzzled about how to get your favorite recipe onto store shelves?
Then ask your library for, or by, "From Kitchen to Market - Selling Your Gourmet Food Specialty.
It's got it all - pricing, packaging, labeling, distribution, promotion, use of brokers, etc.
And the author, me, answers questions and runs a discussion forum at www.specialtyfoodresource.com for free.

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Reading Terminal, one of the country's oldest covered markets. Stand after stand of amazing handcrafted foods - chocolates, meats, baked goods, spices, prepared ethnic dishes, seafood, produce, ice cream, gelato, custard, diner food and much more - awaits the visitor and tempts the palate.
Started in 1893 the market has served downtown Philadelphia residents, workers and visito…

I hoped everyone's Thanksgiving Dinner went well. Mine was fantastic, spent the day with all my family. We had TONS of fun and TONS of food (ham, turkey, stuffing, macaroni salad, garden salad, corn, steam turkey veggies, balsamic bacon scallops, vegetable & beef stew, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, chocolate pie, ice cream cake, chocolate cake). Of course we had tons of left overs the next day.
My balsamic scallops wrapped in bacon was a hit! That was the only dish that had no left…

With so many artists in the market now creating unique and delicious chocolates there is a strong tendancy to come up with long fancy names. At Michael Mischer Chocolates it was nice to see simple names given to their complex treats. Overall, these chocolates look smooth and beautiful. The ganaches tend to be on the syrupy side and outshine the chocolate itself. We tried four:…

Hey all my Active Cooks,
I hope everyone is starting to prepare for their fabulous Thanksgiving dinner in 3 days!
I will be contributing appetizers this year. I'm looking to make seared scallops with rosemary, wrapped in bacon and drizzled on reduced balsamic vinaigrette. The bacon will give the scallops some nice flavoring, the balsamic vinaigrette should give it that sweet tangy kick.
Will let you know how it goes Saturday.
Tommy

Right up front we have to tell you these chocolates are sugar free. There. Are you over it yet? Good, because these were pretty good for being sugar free! The Dark Chocolate Pecan Turtle and the Hazelnut Truffle are only two items in an old-fashioned general store chock full of candies, ice cream and fun gifts.
