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.

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.

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
