Montreal Bagels: What They Are and How to Make Them

Montreal Bagels are handmade and always baked in a wood-fired oven and boy, are they good. Imagine being from Montreal, one Bagel heaven, and living in New York another Bagel Heaven.  Bagels were brought to both cities by Jewish immigrants from Poland and Eastern Europe.…

Montreal Meatloaf Stroganoff adapted from Sam Sifton in The New York Times

Montreal Meatloaf Stroganoff adapted from Sam Sifton in The New York Times

My native province of Quebec has long been known for its gastronomy which was prized by Canadians if for no other reason than the food in the neighboring provinces was so… pedestrian, to put it kindly. Chock that up to having the French do the…

Gail Simmons’ Bumbleberry Buttermilk Upside Down Cake

Gail Simmons’ Bumbleberry Buttermilk Upside Down Cake

Gail Simmons is such a glamorous presence on “Top Chef” that it’s easy to forget she’s first and foremost a great cook.  She’s also a fellow Canadian so I took a great deal of heat from Andrew for not knowing what a Bumbleberry was.  I’d…

Short Ribs in a Cinnamon and Red Wine Sauce: An East Indian take on a North American Classic

          This was one of the first posts I published back in 2010 when I started to blog.  Because my readership was nowhere near what it is now, I should not have been as surprised as I was to see that…

PRODUCT NEWS YOU CAN USE

It’s National Ranch Dressing Day

And it’s time to do over the Ranch!

The number one choice in Salad Dressing in the USA is, of course, Ranch!  It’s the one that’s so versatile, it finds its way onto everything from baked potatoes – a personal favorite of ours—to pizza!  And who hasn’t coaxed a child to eat all manner of good-for-you vegetables dipped into its luscious creamy-onion-y goodness.  But hark! There’s a new Ranch in town and it’s better than ever!

Field + Farmer’s Ranch Dressing has arrived.  And it’s a step way above ordinary Ranch! Little did we know that the Ranch we’ve been buying is loaded with additives, gums, preservatives and oh-no! sugar! Field + Farmer wouldn’t dare do that! It’s 100 percent plant-based, Non-dairy, non-GMO, Gluten-free, allergen-free and zero percent sugar! And need we tell you how great it tastes!

The story begins in an indoor urban farm. Called Farmed Here, it grew greens and herbs for the Chicago area.  An early local food leader, Farmed Here started using leftover basil to make salad dressing and as a way to reduce waste. That dressing was a huge hit and Farmed Here shifted focus from growing to creating fresh, clean-label, plant-based products.  Three years ago they changed their name to Field + Farmer. 

So next time you want to coax a lot more flavor out of everything from arugula to zucchini, do it with Field + Farmer.  It’s MRSP is 6.99 and it’s worth every dime. Go to https://fieldandfarmer.co/pages/where-to-buy and find out where to find it near you.
