Nougat de Montelimar In France, everyone associates the southern town of Montélimar with nougat, that delicious confection of honey, sugar, egg whites and roasted almonds. Nougat has long been produced in Montélimar, but fame arrived in the 19th century, when both train travel and vacation time for workers became de rigueur in France. When trains on route to Mediterranean beaches stopped at Montélimar, the travel-weary passengers bought nougat for a pick-me-up snack. Shop now for French Nougat! Am I back in Scotland? "Reminds me of B&Bs in Scotland. Easy and surprisingly quick to prepare and almost toasty/nutty. If you do toast them before cooking for a few minutes in a 325 degree oven or on the cooktop in a heavy pan, they are very nutty and extra flavorful. Add raisins or other dried fruit just before they're done and you'll have a wonderful start to your day." -- deHart Another great summer diet food. Eat in the morning and get going! A great way to wake up your body! Shop now for Oatmeal of Alford!

Flake Sea Salt When you do try a salt that is out-of-this-world, you know it instantly. Fossil River salt is indeed one of them. These big, beautiful flakes of salt are created after extracting the water from the river and poured in saline pools whilst the hydrogen and oxygen atoms disperse. This allows the natural elements to be retained and remain in these glorious salt crystals. Big flakes that crunch and disappear with ease, leaving nothing but the flavor of salt. So large you can pick them up with delicate fingertips and by placing one or two choice crystals in key strategic locations on a brownie, it is indeed divine.

"I like to make lentil soup as well as to put some lentils into a soup like beef or chicken with vegetables.

This Week's Recipes Rick's Beef Stew Recipe This recipe came from a locally produced cookbook, 40 Seasonal Soups, published by Sacred Heart Shelter. All the recipes were "donated" by local chefs and food purveyors -- including this one, from Master Butcher, Rick Frier of A&J Meats. This recipe reminds me of the stew my mother used to make. So comforting -- and so good. The key is using great stew meat trimmed by an experienced butcher so that you end up with more meat and less gristle. Lentil Pate with Bell Pepper Piperade Recipe Cottage Pie Recipe Cottage pie refers to an English meat pie made with minced beef and a crust made from mashed potato. A variation on this dish using minced lamb is generally known as "Shepherd's Pie." Although, the distinction between the two may well be an example of folk etymology, based solely on the fact that shepherds clearly herd sheep, not cattle.
