Lavender Vanilla Chocolate

A bite of Michael Recchiuti’s Lavender Vanilla chocolate transports you to the south of France, with its infusion of Provençal lavender buds and whole vanilla bean folded in semi-sweet chocolate ganache. Enrobed in 41% Venezuelan milk chocolate, it’s part of the Black Box, Burgundy Box, and Green Box collections at Recchiuti.com.


Food tip of the day


Something Old, Something New

If you’re planning a traditional American dessert over the holiday weekend—apple pie, brownies, chocolate cake, pound cake—go à la mode with some not-so-traditional flavors of ice cream. Think lavender, coconut or lemon mint. Häagen-Dazs’s new Mayan Chocolate with cinnamon is one of our favorite H-D flavors. Reed’s Ginger and Green Tea Ginger Ice Creams, with chunks of crystallized ginger, are available at specialty stores nationwide including Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. If you can find Creme Fraîche ice cream or gelato—grab it!

The magazine about specialty foods And
the gourmet life

JUNE 2006
Prior issues
Most frequently read articles

 

May was a great month, with Mother’s Day and Memorial Day Weekend...but no one can be unhappy to leave it for June. Dads, grads, launch of vacation season and beach weather, and a bounty of fruit and produce bursting from gardens and orchards give us plenty to look forward to (and to write about—see the Table of Contents below).

If you missed last month’s issue, you can check on Father’s Day gifts in our Gift-Finder section and read the entire May issue here. There are some great ideas below, too. And, a Food Film Festival so you can plan your whole summer watching the world’s great food films with meals-to-match.

In addition to this monthly online magazine, we e-mail our Top Food Pick Of The Week newsletter to opt-in subscribers. If you don’t already receive it, click here to have it delivered directly to your e-mailbox. Of the thousands of specialty foods we taste each year, these 52 weekly recommendations are our favorites for both home use and gift-giving. You won’t want to miss them!

THE NIBBLE™ does not sell the foods we review
or receive fees from manufacturers for recommending them.

Our recommendations are based purely on our opinion, after tasting thousands of products each year, that they represent the best in their respective categories.
