THE NIBBLE Launches First Outstanding Artisan Awards
Specialty Food Magazine Honors 11 Artisan Producers For Innovation And Quality
http://www.thenibble.com/nav2/media/releases/2008-12-08-outstanding-artisan-awards.asp
One of the missions of THE NIBBLE specialty food magazine is to seek out the best small producers that most consumers—and retailers—would never discover on their own. The best of the best of them can now be recognized with a new industry award: THE NIBBLE Outstanding Artisan Award, which has just been bestowed upon the first group of small specialty food producers.
“These are artisans who craft a great product, made of the best ingredients and with a superior taste,” stated Karen Hochman, founder and editorial director of THE NIBBLE. “But they are also entrepreneurs who started a business because there was nothing else like it. They love what they do—and they have to, because they work endless hours for modest compensation and little recognition. THE NIBBLE Outstanding Artisan Awards is our way of providing them with some.”
The winners for 2008 include:
Pestos With Panache founder Lauren Stewart, whose creative interpretations of classic Italian pesto enable gourmet meals in minutes

“We tasted more than 100 classic and nouvelle pestos last year in our Best Pesto Sauce review. Delicious as those pestos are, Pestos With Panache deserves its own review—and a Top Pick Of The Week at that—because, as founder Lauren Stewart intended, they liberate pesto far beyond its traditional role as a sauce for pasta.”

from a review of the National Restaurant Association Show at McCormick Place in Chicago.
“…she hit it [Bangin' Blueberry Pesto] out of the park, a neat perfect mingle of bright and airy and substantial and savory. And with the Pumpkin Chilpotle Pesto, she hit her stride. It’s smoky, with hints of cinnamon and a real earthy root-veggie, er… panache. Stewart is at the show looking for dist; she’s already in New York-area Whole Foods. Pray she makes it to Chicago. Your cocktail party needs it.”
Brooklyn Covers Tasty Terrain
“One of the latest in a long line of food producers in Brooklyn is Lauren Stewart, originator of Pestos with Panache, a line of basil-based sauces that redefine its traditional applications. With Bangin’ Blueberry, Pumpkin Chilpotle and Succulent Strawberry flavors, Ms. Stewart has certainly made a name for herself in Brooklyn’s culinary landscape.”
