Filo Shells + Mascarpone + Bellisari’s Blistered Jalapeno & Fig= Gourmet Convenience.

In honor of both National Cookie AND National Brownie Days this week, we offer the following advice – Clean as you go! Lots of flour, sugar, and sticky sweet ingredients abound with this preparation, so wipe down between steps and be ready to nibble on your tasty treats!

It’s time to focus on comfort foods. This week’s tip is to salt your pasta water, never add oil, and don’t rinse.  You should salt your pasta water until it tastes like the sea. Salting your pasta water gives flavor to it before you put any sauce on it.

Thanksgiving mashed potatoes? Remember to boil your potatoes in large pieces.

If you cut them small, it gives water more of an opportunity to make its way inside the potatoes. More water means more liquid and less flavor in the final product. Try adding Bellisari’s Blue Cheese Honey and Shallot Spread for the win! 🙌

Autumn is prime pomegranate season.  These jewel-like seeds add a singular crunch and winey, sweet-sour tang to whatever dishes they grace. Remember, choose pomegranates that are blemish-free, have vivid ruby-red skin, and are heavy for their size.
