Gael Gand Sorbets

One of the easiest ways to make an elegant dessert is to serve different flavors of sorbet in flat-based Chinese soup spoons. The spoons have many uses—for hors d’oeuvres, condiments, garnishes...and of course, soup! Dessert by Gael Gand, partner and executive pastry chef, Restaurant Tru, Chicago.


Food tip of the day

Sweet & Salty

Most people these days prefer sweet butter at the table, but there’s a contingent that favors salty. A solution to please everyone: serve sweet butter and provide a cellar of delicious sea salt. Salt butter lovers can sprinkle a few grains on their butter, and enjoy the superior flavor and crunch of the sea salt. In fact, several artisanal salted butters are made by blending creamery butter with sel gris or another fine sea salt...and some top restaurants serve sweet butter with sea salt on top. For more information about sea salts, read our glossary.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

 

Most people look at September as “Back-To-School Month.” We look at it as the opportunity to write about back-to-school foods ... and to have our final barbecues of the season. We spent all summer testing the best barbecue sauces. You’ll find our favorites in the Table of Contents, below.

If you love tea, our article on Tea and Food Pairings offers tea matches for dozens of foods. For everyone who wonders about what wines and other beverages match best with what foods, there’s a great new book on the topic. For other discoveries, we have new product reviews—including selections for dieters and people who prefer organic and kosher products—and lots of good “food learning,” including a recipe that uses fregula, a tastier cousin to couscous. Dieters and citrus-lovers: send for your FREE SAMPLE of True Lemon and True Lime!

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 (or you can sign up above for the RSS feed). 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.
