Fresh & News May 30th

At Foragers we love to talk, think and obsess over food. One might want to label us as “foodies” but we prefer to be called “foodsters!"

What we really enjoy is learning about new and old food style, recipes and innovations. Our Sausage Making Team is looking for input by you. This coming week, please send us your recipes and/or ideas for upcoming the next featured sausage. See you this week...


Fresh & News

Ontario Canned Tomatoes
Our friends at the Natural Food Coop are supplying us with not only Mapletons Organic Ice Cream but also Ontario grown canned tomatoes. Organically grown, the whole tomatoes in juice are excellent for your red sauces. Interestingly, the Forager Test Kitchen believes the Ontario canned tomatoes are on par with the Italian San Marzano tomatoes the store also carries. San Marzano tomatoes, a D.O.P. product is widely considered the best. Or are they?

David Wood Romelia
In this past Wednesday's Globe and Mail Life section, Sue Reidl's cheese column identified Forager Foods as one of only 8 stores in Canada to carry David Wood’s new Romelia cheese. Be sure to stop in as we are stocked with this beautifully creamy and pungent goat milk cheese. Mr. Wood has aced this cheese recipe. Sometimes goat milk cheese has a “chalky” beginning and finish, Romelia goat milk cheese has the consistent creaminess of cow’s milk yet the benefits of goat’s milk.

Simple Party Planning
There is nothing easier than putting a few skewers on the barby, mixing a quick salad and having good bread and butter for a summer night impromptu dinner party. You can count on Foragers to have 2-3 varieties of skewers every day including beef, chicken, pork, lamb and combinations of each.

Another must-try is the Forager Butterflied Jerk Chicken. We have taken the backs out of the whole chickens and marinated them in a jerk rub and oil vac pac bag. Essentially the chicken is flattened, the Forager Test Kitchen recommends wrapping a brick with foil and placing on top of the butterflied chicken while cooking at medium high heat on your grill. Flip once, and you’re done in 30 minutes!.

Keep Foraging,
