Fruit Pizza and a Facebook Challenge!
If you haven’t joined yet, we have a Facebook group set up for customers and friends of Mrs. G to interact and engage with each other and the staff here at the store. As a way to bring more ideas to the group, we would love to present a challenge for anyone who is interested in getting creative with their food. Recently, Chef John prepared a cold fruit pizza using the bread recipe from his herb casatiello demo (minus the meat). The additional ingredients included: mascarpone cheese, honey and fruit of your choosing. The process was simple: 1) Bake your pizza dough; 2) Once it has cooled, spread the mascarpone cheese to act as your “sauce;” 3) Next, lightly coat your fruit with honey and arrange as your pizza toppings. That’s it! Read More

A Holiday Ginger Pistachio Chocolate Bark Recipe
I first discovered the wonders of the “melt” mode on advanced cooktops when I visited the Wolf/Sub-Zero showroom in Philly. The chef emptied a bag of chocolate chips into a saucepan, set it on the lowest flame on the dual-stack burner, and let it be. No double boiler, no stirring, no scorching (the photo is from there.)
