Worth Drinking!
Katz Gravenstein Apple Cider Vinegar
Last week I was testing a few recipes for the
Tahini and one included
Apple Cider Vinegar.
We test & try ingredients all the time, so our pantry overflows into every available flat space we can find. In other words, the dining room table, the hutch and the floor can get covered in new foods. Sounds great but sometimes it’s just too much.
As a result, some of our favorite ingredients are pushed aside, literally, to the back burner or even out the door. I don't know how long it has been since I gave away my last bottle of
Apple cider vinegar to a
“chef-in-need”.
This meant that I need to re-supply and bring a bottle of
apple cider vinegar home. (We have 18 vinegars in the pantry.) Even though you know every vin is awesome, it's nice to have a refresher, of taste that is.
This
Gravenstein Apple Cider Vinegar is a revelation, a vision, a lightening bolt of amazement! Yes it’s just vinegar, but a little sip with just your lips and you can taste the sweetness, the shape, the roundness of the apple, you can taste the apple!
It makes you realize that you don't need to have
industrial grade cleaner apple cider vinegar in your body.
I called Albert to ask him why his was so amazing, and though he is never shy to say how much he likes his stuff, he never says it’s his “hands” that make it great. (It is.) What we did discuss are ideas, like the fact that the
Gravenstein apple has a natural tart sweet flavor. And that the apple is still a true “breed”.
The one word that describes this vinegar to him is
"quaffable". More than five years ago he had some gut issues and nothing was working. So he started drinking his
Gravenstein apple cider vinegar; 1/8 cup vinegar with 12 ounces of mineral water. And it worked. He has had no issues since.

Albacore Sacred Sea Tuna
"Feed Your Body, Mind & Spirit"!
Tuna really is a great diet food. If it's healthy and
good tuna then it can do wonders for your body and your mind!
Rick, the owner, is a fisherman and a man who cares about how modern techniques can make the best fish possible. You can read about it here.
This is my
favorite tuna to make
tunafish salad sandwiches. Because it is "cooked" in its own juices without any added oil it allows every ingredient to contribute without having to compete with an added oil. (It is my cat's favorite tuna too.)
And for those that are concerned about heavy metals, according to studies by Oregon State University, West Coast Albacore, on average, contains at least 60% less mercury than typical canned tuna. From June to October of each year, Rick harvests these younger fish which range in size between 10 and 30 pounds. Because they are young, mercury accumulation is less of a concern.
Another reason to have a wonderful tuna for lunch tomorrow!

Tasting notes
Pianogrillo 2016/2017 harvest oil tasting notes
This year has been a really interesting year for olives. Many of the farmers have had a decent crop but low yield. And overall, all the oils have been pretty gosh darn good. More mellow in many ways, yet more interesting in overall flavor.
Pianogrillo, a true long time favorite of ours and our customer's, is more mellow this year, with very few bitter notes, if any. A very open, light, cloudy, warm Mediterranean feel comes through.
With a hint of fruit, it’s more artichoke, zucchini and, though buttery is often a word to describe olive oil, this oil is not buttery, it is more summery beach! It’s a drinkable oil this year!
If you “chew” the oil it disappears quickly and you have this wonderful light feel. Use it from toast to popcorn. Perfect for a
lentil salad,
couscous,
pasta with sea salt, it’s pretty gosh darn good! Add this oil to your 2017 collection!

March & April Classes!
Hearty Hungarian Table Cooking Class!
Hungarian Cooking, like other eastern European cooking is hearty, homey, and satisfyingly delicious - just what we need to warm up on a cold, gray Seattle day. Chef Erin, a third-generation Hungarian American, learned to cook from her grandmother and will share Grandma Rose's recipes for Korozott (Hungarian Cheese Spread), Cucumber Salad, Goulash, Chicken Paprikash and more. If you like Chicken Paprikash, but haven't been able to re-create your grandmother's recipe, then this is the class for you. In my humble opinion, Chef Erin makes the best Chicken Paprikash this side of the Mississippi -- it's not to be missed!
