Robert Lambert Hot Ginger Caramel SauceRobert Lambert‘s Hot Ginger Caramel Sauce is utterly decadent & scrumptious to the T. (Or is it S?)
We discovered, in our OA kitchen lab this afternoon, that this sauce works amazingly well hot or cold. We tried it over ice cream, but this sauce works well over so many foodstuffs.
You can find this on our Holiday shelf, across from our cheese!
Clairesquares Plum Pudding & Brandy ButterWe just can’t get enough of artisan shortbread/caramel Clairesquares, which makes us doubly excited to offer her brand new sweets just in time for the holidays.
Authentic Irish luxury plum pudding wrapped in satin and rich, decadent brandy butter to serve on the side.
Your taste buds will thank you.
Your waistline? Well, it’s the holidays, after all.
Find these & other seasonal treats on our Holiday shelf across from the cheese cooler!
Pictorial placemats; Anchor glass containers; Primitive Artisan towels; Kleen Kanteen insulated containers; sugar jars & creamersWe all know a kitchen. Give it a gift this year!
We conclude that food tastes better when the setting includes gorgeous placemats, especially the bright pictorial placemats we sell.
While we’ve sold Anchor glass containers for years, they never get old. This year, we’re carrying a patterned-glass square & rectangular series.
A gift could be as simple as the lovely Primitive Artisan kitchen towels, in a variety of bright or muted colors. 
If your kitchen is graced with leftovers this holiday, consider an early gift of the Kleen Kanteen insulated and leak-proof food containers. Your food is ready to go.
Consider: A cheery yellow ceramic sugar bird! We ask ourselves daily, passing by this bird, who wouldn’t want this cheer? Nautical-themed creamers and pitchers also add a bit of flair to any kitchen.
Ledyard, Reading Raclette & Landaff
Our cheesemonger has chosen three perfect cheeses for us, this late fall/early winter season.
Ledyard (Sheep, Pasteurized, Trad. Rennet, New York) - An oozy, soft-ripened, leaf-wrapped ewe’s milk cheese, aged 4-6 weeks. The leaves are local (Cazenovia, New York) grape leaves, soaked in a Syracuse wheat beer called Deep Purple - beer infused with Concord grapes. (Pictured)
Reading Raclette (Cow, Raw, Trad. Rennet, Vermont) - Made in copper vats and with traditional methods, the semi-soft cow’s milk cheese has a creamy, nutty flavor unfused with the flavor of the Vermont pastures and the rich milk of their small herd of Jersey cows. All profits of this cheese support Farm for City Kids; which teaches city children about hands-on farming and cheesemaking. Very cool!
Landaff (Cow, Raw, Trad. Rennet, Vermont) - This buttery Caerphilly-inspired cow’s milk cheese “takes your taste buds on a journey through brackish wetlands, and rolling moors within the safety of its mushroom marshmallow paste.” Worker Favorite!
This could be your name, burned into our future parklet.
