Now at Boston’s SoWa Food & Produce Market!
Ahhh, summer. It brings to mind some of life’s best memories, roof top cocktail parties, fun days on the beach, BBQs with friends, and of course, the emergence of your favorite local open air market. This summer, I am pleased to announce that Pestos with Panache is participating in a local market unlike any other, the SoWa Open Market in the South End neighborhood in Boston, MA.
I’m sure some of you are wondering, why Boston? Isn’t Pestos with Panache based out of Brooklyn, NY? As a few of you may know, I’m originally from Boston, so naturally I have a special place in my heart for the city! Also, one small confession, I have to admit that my pesto is not carried in as many stores in my hometown as I would like, so I’m hoping this will develop some Pestos with Panache fans in Bean Town! Finally, the SoWa Open Market is located in such a diverse and artistic neighborhood that is known for some of the best restaurants and markets in New England, it was the absolute perfect match. The SoWa market is unlike any other market, and Pestos with Panache is certainly unlike any other pesto!
Pestos with Panache will be at the SoWa Open Market Food & Produce Market (located behind one of my favorite spots, Rocca Restaurant) on Harrison Ave in the South End, Boston, MA. Check out the map provided by the SoWa Open Market here. Currently, we are signed on for five dates (but will hopefully be adding more to our calendar as we go on): June 20th, July 11th, August 8th, September 19th, and October 17th, each date our booth will be open from 10am-4pm.
Since I live in NYC, I am very lucky to have a great crew of Bostonian’s ready and willing to bring the flavors of Pestos with Panache to Boston, and I could not be more excited! Throughout the summer we will have Kim (@swimmykimy) Kate (@ktdilley) and Jamie (@afterdinnerdish) representing Pestos with Panache. They all live and work in Boston, and bring a different perspective on the topic of food, tastes and cooking to the table. Throughout the SoWa Market season they will be taking over my Pestos with Panache twitter account (@pestoswpanache) each Sunday posting updates, pictures and news about the market, be sure to stop by and say hello!
As an added incentive, we will be doing a GIVE-AWAY! Each Sunday that Pestos with Panache participates in the SoWa Open Market, the first Pesto fan to visit our booth, take a picture in front of the Pestos with Panache Booth, and Post it to Twitter mentioning PWP receives a free tin of pesto of their choice!! What’s not to love?!
So if you have the chance, stop by, say hello, and let us know what you think! See you at SoWa!
The Ladies’ Lounge: Pestos with Panache
December 1, 2009 — by Arpita Joshi
“As delicious as traditional pesto is on just about everything from appetizers, sandwiches, pastas, and pizzas – sometimes experimenting with flavors will make you appreciate it in a whole new way. Pestos with Panache by Lauren does just this…”

Cook. Eat. Drink. Live 2009 Round Up
“I really liked Pestos with Panache also. Maybe it’s because I like the word “panache.” Or maybe it’s because I eat pesto straight out of the jar. These pestos were different than what I’m used to though, and that’s what drew me in. They had Pumpkin Chipotle Pesto, Fig & Gorgonzola Pesto, and Prosciutto & Smoked Almond Pesto. Mmmmmm. Those three were my favorites, because they had such different flavors.”

Delish: Rethinking and Remaking Pesto
Pestos with Panache are a collection of pestos that either greatly improve upon the initial pesto concept, or shame it with gratuitous “panache” – it all depends on how you look at it. If you are able to get beyond the “what is pesto” limitation, you will undoubtedly love the six varieties of these pestos, as it will greatly expand your notion of what pestos could be.

…it’s really great to run into Pestos with Panache, a collection of sauces that have nicely pushed the pesto envelope. The titles of the pestos from Brooklyn-based Lauren Stewart (founder & CEO) are enough to make you want to try them, but luckily the promise of the titles is well delivered in the tasting.

That Girl At the Party: Pestos with Panache By Lauren
Having lived in Italy for 2 years, I have been wild about pesto for quite awhile. Originating from Liguria on the Italian Riviera, the quality of pesto in the US varies greatly. Few Americans have actually had real pesto, as most mass-market brands are a gloppy, oily mess! Thus, I was truly delighted to experience the new Pestos with Panache by Lauren. Local gal Lauren Stewart has created the most delectable pesto recipes I have ever tasted! There are six different varieties: Decadent Dark Chocolate and Ancho Chile, Fabulous Fig and Gorgonzola, Succulent Strawberry, Pumpkin Chipotle, Banging Blueberry, and my favorite Prosciutto and Smoked Almond. While to some pesto purists these combinations may seem strange, they are absolutely delicious and are delicately prepared so that no one flavor overpowers the other. Pestos with Panache can at zip to any meal.
