When small things come together to create wonder!
Summerdown Chocolate Peppermint Creams
There is a reason it is called menthe Anglaise by the French.
Even after the exodus of commercial mint production moving from the fields of England to the NW of the US through a project in the 1930’s, Black Mitcham mint grown in (as best we can tell, its native land) England is still the best in the world. Though mint is easy to grow, the delicate leaves seem to reflect the terroir in abundance. And Black Mitcham Mint is great in England, especially when Summerdown grows it.
We know that mint has been around in many forms at least since Persephone metamorphosed the water nymph from the river Cocytus, Minthe, into the plant mint in a fit of spite. They say that when one walks thru a field of mint, the sweet smell of Minthe wafts around you.
In the world and in history, mint has been used for relieving tummy tract issues. Without listing the issues, mint/peppermint is about relaxing those muscles for better happiness.
In England since 1674, this classic marriage of mint and chocolate has become the go to share with your friends to create peer happiness. You will breathe easier when you consume this perfect treat knowing that mint is a good source of vitamin C and a fighter of free radicals.

Mint Tea
Sometimes you want mint without chocolate
Summerdown Mint
Sometimes the refreshing mint is all you want. Without the chocolate, mint can standalone as a fabulous hot tea.
In many ways this is the perfect way to get a good dose of healthiness all the while getting joy too!
Sip the hot, soothing elixir, while reading your favorite cookbook, next to the fire, listening to the rain as it falls. (It's still rains here in the northwest.) The steam will waft into the nostrils as your mouth sensors open up and your throat feels exhilarated from the warm mint.
Be careful though, this mint tea is special and the way tea should be. I tried many, many mint teas. This is the cleanest tasting and finishing mint tea, bar none. Not one could match the Summerdown Mint Tea!

Skinny Round Tubes
Pasta!
Long been a favorite for us, this "spaghetti" shaped pasta seems thicker than you might normally see.
The secret to its wonderful mouth feel is the fact that it is hollow in the middle. It gives you the pleasure of density, resulting in a bite of substance, and the ability to twirl on your spoon and fork, to encapsulate a robust red sauce!
Not just for robust red, this hollow pasta works well with a good olive oil, capers and shavings of Parmgiano-Reggiano for quite a nice bite.
Great to have in the pantry, you can surprise your guests with a pasta that looks like it's at the diner but is ready for the ball.

Nougat de Montelimar
Since 1837, the artisanal Arnaud Soubeyran company has produced authentic Montélimar nougat using straightforward, pure ingredients and old-fashioned techniques. Today, the small factory still uses copper caldrons to cook the nougat; when it's ready, it's laid out and cut on marble slabs.
Pear Balsamic Vinegar
Joseph Reiterer starts with pears that he crushes and then cooks down in an open vat. The resulting rich pear liquid is indoctrinated with a vinegar "mother" and then aged in wood for five years.
The result is pure heaven, a dark brown liquid that is thinner than a balsamic condimento and softer and sweeter than a balsamic vinegar. The flavor is unique, rich caramelized pear flavor accentuated by a mild acidity that feels more like a tart finish.

| Cooking Master Classes are hopping! |
It's the Hearty Hungarian Table Cooking Class!
Come and enjoy a Master class with Chef Erin Coopey. This will be Erin's last class with ChefShop, as she is moving to Scottsdale to teach at the Arizona Culinary Institute!
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!
