Gateway candy to loving Licorice and more and more at chefshop.com/enews EXCLUSIVE SUBSCRIBER 5% OFF CODE lakrids  Recipes | Chef's Pantries | Shop for Food & Ingredients | Food Blog The Gateway Drug to Licorice Heaven! Lakrids from Denmark On a recent trip to NYC I visited with our friend David who over the years has introduced us to some of our all time favorite foods. And though we have had Lakrids Licorice for a bit, it is his personal enthusiasm for his “finds” that is contagious. “I know you have carried them and that Eliza just ordered more, but you have to try these. I just visited the factory and met with Johan. This is a man who set out more than ten years ago to create liquorice anew!” David went on to show me pictures from the factory on his phone, explaining all the cool machines. “It’s such a great product” he said “and I find once people try it, they start to love it. Give them a taste of “A” (Chocolate Coated Licorice), I call it the Gateway Licorice (drug) to a happier life!” I did and they are good! I like them all, though if I could only have one on the dessert island, it would be “A”. Just because licorice (liquorice) is good for you doesn’t mean it’s top of your list to snack on or add to your next dish. And for many of us, it seems like the last thing you want in your mouth! But it’s worth the taste test, and once you do, like the Scandinavians do, the sweetness of nature will make you happy. Shop now for Liquorice from Lakrids! 100 Percent Pure Cane Syrup Established in 1910 in Louisiana!

Linden Tree Honey Known as Linden or Basswood honey in the US, it is known as Lime honey in Europe. To me, "Lime" seems like a more appropriate name given the flavor of the honey. Always one of my favorites because of the shockingly citrusy brightness that shocks your palette and the back of the throat. Add a little zip to your English afternoon tea or morning English muffin. A lightly colored, mostly solid honey that spreads smoothly and melts quickly. Shop now for another amazing honey from Les Ruchers de Bourgogne!
