Summer Share 2012 – Week 2
I hope everyone enjoyed their week 1 bag. We had a lot of fun on deliveries last week. Everything went extremely well. This week I’m quite excited for a few things. First, we have a great combination of unique products that both tell a story and taste excellent. The center piece, in my opinion, of…

Building your cookbook library can be an enjoyable project as well as providing you with excellent sources of reference. In the next few weeks I’d like to talk about some of the books that I believe are basics; books that provide information about products and techniques rather another new recipe.
