Food Philosophy #64: Chocolate Holiday Treats

Food Philosophy #64: Chocolate Holiday Treats

We are in the thick of the holiday season, so if you're like me you probably cringe at the idea of going to the mall. Fear not! Online gift options abound, and I found a few gems from our friends at Lillie Belle Farms and Saxon Chocolates that are oh-so-perfect for the decadent gift-giver (even if the recipient is you). From smoky blue cheese truffles to enrobed chocolate treats that call for disrobing, you can stay right at home and let the beauty of the internet make your holiday season a calm one.

Food Philosophy Video #14: Gascony Wines

I discovered an intriguing line of wines from Domaine du Tariquet in the Gascony region of France. Importer Bobby Kacher shares his passion about this unusual varietal, and surprises us with white wines that can hold up to hearty winter foods.

Food Philosophy #63: Join Us at the Table

Nancy Ancrum and Robbie Bell are Two Saucy Chicks who host Join Us at the Table on WKAT radio in Miami. When off the air, they are busy coordinating eating tours around South Florida with a concept they call Curated Dining(TM), which celebrates food's anthropological and cultural roots, as well as the very idea of breaking bread with other humans.

I'm also swooning over the BrewStation Deluxe from Hamilton Beach, which is a coffee lover's dream!

People's Food Movement

Just got this release from the folks at Dave's Gourmet (he's the guy making the kooky presidential barbecue sauces). Interesting stuff:

COULD YOUR HOME RECIPE BE WORTH $$$$$$?

Do you have a fantastic salsa or salad dressing or cookie recipe that you or a friend makes? The People’s Food Movement would like to turn it into cash for you and them. The People’s Food Movement is a new organization formed by Dave of Dave’s Gourmet, Inc,. It is dedicated to
“Take back your food” from the big food companies by introducing your own items into the food marketplace. The movement borrows from the Long Tail Theory and believes that amongst the millions of food focused people in the world are many possible products that are superior to what big company scientists are currently making.

The Movement was launched in September and already has over 500 members with a goal of 10,000 members within a year. It is free to join and members are eligible to submit products to the movement (over 100 members have already committed to submitting products). The movement evaluates the products for quality, whether it can be safely and economically manufactured, and for marketability. If the product is accepted, it gets launched under one of Dave’s Gourmet’s brands, but bears the logo of The People’s Food Movement on the label. Profits from the sales of these products are split three ways between all the members of the movement, Dave’s Gourmet, and the creator of the product.

Dave’s Gourmet is best known for their insanity hot sauces, salsas, drink mixes, and snacks. They also make Jump Up & Kiss Me Sauces and Dave’s Gourmet organic heirloom pasta sauces. Under their Palette Fine Foods subsidiary they produce exclusive jams, spice rubs, and honeys. Dave has appeared on the Food Network several times, has written a cookbook, Crazy from the Heat – The Dave’s Insanity Cookbook, won dozens of awards and has spoken at Food Conferences. Their website is http://www.davesgourmet.com/ or http://www.peoplesfoodmovement.org/ .
