Are cured meats dangerous? By Mo Frechette Welcome to a brief voyage through high school chemistry with apologies to mad scientists if I get any of the specifics incorrect. Sodium nitrate, NaNO3 is added to salami ingredients before they’re stuffed into the mostly air proof casing. Inside, the bacteria and microbial organisms live in an anaerobic environment—no oxygen.

Sort of. The problem is when the cure is rushed, the nitrite, NO₂, doesn’t disappear like it does when you cure traditionally over thirty days. It’s still present in the meat. NO₂ is a carcinogen.

Their activity sucks one of the three oxygen molecules away, turning sodium nitrate into sodium nitrite, NaNO₂. Sodium nitrite is unstable and aggressive to microbes. It’s the compound that does the real work of curing, making it safe for us to eat.

That’s the reason people are worried about nitrate cured salami. Meats may be cured with sodium nitrite—not nitrate—and rushed to market when the nitrite carcinogen is still present. This isn’t true for the cured meats we carry.

While it does its job, the sodium and another oxygen molecule is leeched off. What’s left is nitric oxide, NO. This fixes the pigment color, keeping salami red. This molecule is safe.

What about the “no nitrate” meat at supermarkets?

Even though we started the cure with NaNO3 we ended up with NO. A salami maker may add 150 parts per million of sodium nitrate to start the cure, but only 2 or 3 PPM are left. The traditional thirty day curing process eliminates the substance. So if cured salami doesn’t have any sodium nitrate or nitrite left, why are people afraid of it? While traditionally cured meat doesn’t have any sodium nitrate/nitrite, non-traditionally cured meat may. During the middle of the last century, in between inventing Twinkies and Cheez Whiz, food scientists deciphered the chemistry that I just explained. Until then it’d been a two thousand year process that no one understood – people just knew it worked. The scientists correctly identified sodium nitrite NaNO₂ as the money molecule. It did the majority of the curing work. NaNO3 didn’t seem to do much, so they experimented with add-

ing NO₂ directly to the meat, cutting NO3 out of the game. It worked. It saved time. Meat could be cured almost overnight. It could go to stores faster. It was a huge success.

Nitrates are necessary for curing meat. You can’t cure without them and keep meat pink and safe. But if nitrates are necessary for curing meat, how can places like Whole Foods carry meats they say are nitrate free? The trick is celery. It’s high in nitrates. Concentrated celery juice is used in the curing, instead of the naturally occurring mineral sodium nitrate. The FDA allows it to be called “Natural Flavor” instead of “Sodium Nitrate.” The words may be different, but the chemistry behind it is the same. You can taste both curing methods for yourself by frying up the two bacons from Nueske’s on the facing page. The classic Applewood Smoked is slowly cured with traditional mineral nitrates. The Cherrywood Smoked is labeled “uncured” because it’s made with celery juice. Mo Frechette founded Zingerman’s Mail Order. Reach him at moeats@zingermans.com

What questions to ask, and what to look for on the label. By Val Neff-Rasmussen There’s a growing demand for meat from animals raised in better conditions. What hasn’t necessarily grown is our knowledge about what exactly makes those conditions “better” and how we can find the information to make informed buying decisions. Here’s are my top recommendations for what to look for. My number one question is: Do the animals have enough space? Confined animals get sick more easily because diseases spread quickly when animals are kept close together, so the solution is to pump them full of antibiotics. Confined animals fight with each other, so the solution is to physically alter them by doing something like clipping their teeth or beaks and docking their tails—they’re still going to fight, but now they’ll do less damage to each other. I could go on—the problems of packing too many animals in too little space are many. You could ask about antibiotics and physical alterations and a bunch of other details. Or, you could ask if the animals have enough space to live as they please—ideally, outdoors on pasture. In some parts of the US, that may not be possible year round—harsh Michigan winters, for instance, aren’t the best for many animals. But asking “are the animals raised on pasture?” is a great place to start a conversation.

One note of caution: watch out for answers that dodge the question, like “Our animals have access to pasture” (translation: they live indoors and likely never go outside). What labels are useful? When you can’t ask your farmer or retailer directly, what should you look for on the label? A lot of claims sound good. However, many labeling terms don’t actually mean much for animal welfare, including common ones like Farm Fresh, All Natural, Hormone Free for poultry and pork, Cage Free, and Free Range. Even Organic means less than you might assume: it requires animals get organic-certified feed and prohibits antibiotics, but specifies little about how the animals are raised. A few certifications that do indicate high welfare standards are the Global Animal Partnership (GAP) levels 4 and 5, Certified Humane, and Animal Welfare Approved (AWA). For an in-depth look into dozens of labeling terms, check out the Resources section of agreenerworld.org. Val Neff-Rasmussen is a writer and food finder at Zingerman’s Mail Order.

By Brad Hedeman That may seem like a crazy question, but there are a few ways to answer it. Obviously milk is from the mammary glands of mammals, making cheese an animal product... but the animals who make the milk are vegetarians (besides the wayward goat here and there). What folks really mean when they ask this question is: “is the rennet used to make this cheese vegetarian?” Rennet is the first step in cheesemaking. It’s added to heated milk and separates the solids (curd) from the liquid (whey). But that’s a very simple definition. For all you food science fans out there, get ready to get geeked! Rennet is a blend of enzymes (mainly chymosin and pepsin) extracted from the fourth stomach cavity of young ruminant animals such as calves, kids, and lambs. The technical definition of the term “rennet” is restricted to enzymes that are derived from the stomachs of mammals, so all cheeses made with true rennet are not vegetarian. But in common usage, the term “rennet” includes milk-coagulating enzymes that come from plant sources, too. We consider those “rennets” vegetarian. Plant-derived rennets are enzymes harvested from plants that can coagulate the milk and serve the same purpose in cheesemaking as animal-derived rennet. Folks commonly refer to this type as “thistle rennet.” The two most common sources are the cardoon and the globe artichoke, but fig leaves and sap, nettles, safflow-

er, and other plants can be used and earn the label 100% vegetarian rennet. On our shelves, cheeses made with vegetarian rennets include Mt. Tam (below) and Cabot Zingerman’s Cheddar (online). But the question doesn’t end there. Rennets can also come from microbial sources such as molds and genetically modified organisms like yeasts. As a matter of fact, the two main sources of rennet worldwide are produced either by one of the most common molds, Aspergillus niger, or by the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. While no animal source is used to make these rennets, their genetic makeup resembles something that originated with animals. So not 100% vegetarian, but not really animal. The most traditional cheesemakers use true animal rennet because that’s the way it’s always been. That’s the case for cheeses like Essex Street Manchego (online). But nearly all newer cheesemakers prefer to use the microbial-derived rennets because they’re cheaper, they’re more consistent and they get more bang for their buck. So in most cases, the answer to the question “Is this cheese vegetarian?” is a resounding “It depends.” Brad Hedeman is a writer and food finder at Zingerman’s Mail Order.

By Mo Frechette Poor corn.

into more foods than I can count. I saw it listed recently on a loaf of bread! It’s been blamed for obesity, diabetes, and so on.

Sometimes I feel sorry for it. It’s been the subject of exposés putting it at the center of America’s industrial food problems, including obesity and diabetes. In Michael Pollan’s (highly recommended) Omnivore’s Dilemma and the movie it inspired, King Corn, it’s nearly criminal.

Corn syrup has another side, though. It has been a part of American culinary history since at least around the time of the Civil War. It’s been used in moderate amounts in all kinds of dishes. Most important to us, candy makers have long used the special properties of corn syrup to control sugar crystallization. If you want to keep a candy soft and gooey, corn syrup is great. For example, while cane sugar and dairy give a caramel its flavor, its corn syrup that creates the texture.

Corn-derived products have also felt the bad rap, in particular corn syrup. Does it deserve it? Like most stories, there’s some truth to it. But, like in a lot of debates, things are never quite as black and white as they seem. Corn has benefitted from a raft of agricultural subsidies and barriers. Some encouraging its production, others that have restricted trade on substitutes, most importantly cane sugar. The limits on importing cane sugar raised its price to the point where it made economic sense to have mass alternatives. One alternative is sugar made from beets. Another is corn syrup. The corn syrup most of us know by name is high fructose corn syrup. It’s made in factories on a massive scale. Most aspects of industrial corn syrup—from growing to refining—are fossil fuel intensive. And it’s found its way

Larger concerns aside, at Zingerman’s, we don’t think corn syrup is entirely evil. Corn syrup is not the primary sweetener at Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory but it is used. We also sweeten our candy bars with raw honey, traditional muscovado brown sugar, maple sugar and regular old granulated cane sugar. Each one contributes to the texture and flavor of the finished candy.

It’s rare to find an artisan version of Britain’s most famous vinegar. Most malt vinegars are made by big producers more interested in speed than quality. Sadly, they have come to define the category. Until today. The slow, flavorful way of production is what they do at The Old Nuclear Bunker in Cornwall, England (gotta love British names). Hot water added to crushed barley activates enzymes that convert the starch in the grain to sugar. Yeast converts the sugar to low grade alcohol, which is then loaded in oak barrels to age out and mellow for months on end. The result is a sweet, bright, nutty type of vinegar that’s great with waaaaay more than just a fry up. V-MLT 250 ml bottle $18 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Sweet Apricot Kernals from Afghanistan Roasted apricot kernals look like almonds. They taste a bit like them, too: crunchy, nutty, slightly sweet, a bit smoky, but with a beautiful bitterness that’s all their own. Dusted with a bit of salt, they’re as irresistible as a great peanut. Because they aren’t nuts—they’re the pits of sweet apricots—people with nut allergies can eat them. A great snack any time of day. From Ziba, a company set up with the express purpose of helping women in Afghanistan make a sustainable living. P-SBA 5.3 oz bag $15 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Vanilla Plum Cream

The countryside surrounding Bordeaux is most synonymous with grapes, but they aren’t the only fruit in town. Mixed among the vineyards are hundreds of plum orchards. Plums have been grown here for centuries, and for much of their history were just as valuable as salt. The plums grown in the region are particularly large and flavorful, and, when semi-dried, can be kept as a stupendous sweetener all year long—a big deal in the days before refrigeration. Today, the family at the storybook castle Château de Born take their plums, dry them just enough to preserve them, and then whip the plums into a luscious cream with a bit of vanilla bean. The flavor is bright and clean and fruity, and the texture is silky and rich. Spread it on toast or croissants or crêpes, dollop a spoonful on ice cream or into your oatmeal.

the Secret ingredient of italy’s mosT famOus butcher Dario’s Tuscan Salt

Somehow the 21st Century has found fit to make celebrities out of a raft of food makers, including butchers. And there’s probably no more famous butcher in the world than Dario Cecchini, the opera- belting macellaria of Panzano, the Tuscan village an hour south of Florence. Dario’s approach to butchering focuses on the local, honest, and traditional. He’s created a blended sea salt that hews closely to that philosophy. It’s a powder-fine blend with herbs you’d find around Panzano: sage, lavender, thyme, rosemary, bay, fennel pollen, juniper. Twenty five percent of the weight is herbs—Dario is not messing around. This is seriously aromatic. Transporting. Straight to a hot afternoon in the middle of Italy. I’ve been keeping it to myself for over a year, drifing handfulls of it onto pork loin, chicken thighs, thick steaks from Cory Carman (find them on our website) and popcorn. Oh yes, how amazing it is on popcorn. P-TSC 420 g jar $25 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

the croWn jEwel Of THE sea Ortiz Tunas from Spain

Tuna is one of the most popular foods we sell. It may seem surprising because here in the U.S., tinned tuna is a low-end commodity usually sold in supermarkets. In Spain it’s at the complete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourth-generation family firm Ortiz, is one of the jewels in Spain's culinary crown. Ortiz's fish are all line caught—not netted—hand filleted at sea and quickly tinned by hand in good olive oil. The olive oil is key. It adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time, unlike water, which tends to leach flavors from the fish. We went to Spain and selected a single great batch of Bonito loin, our best seller, for fullness of flavor, silky texture, and lingering sweetness.

Portuguese Sardines

Tuna is our top-selling tinned seafood, but sardines aren’t too far behind. It’s surprising to me since sardines are not a big part of the popular food scene in America. This is perhaps the classic case of tinned food seen as poor, low-quality food. Before college students ate 75 cent ramen, they ate 10 cent sardines. Forget that stereotype. Here, four or five tender, perfect sardines, come nested in a tin of olive oil, and their flavor is extraordinary—the prize of Portugal, revered there as a kind of national seafood treasure. We offer pure olive oil (classic style, illustrated) or extra virgin olive oil, which has the effect of making the flavor more buttery, less metallic; in a way it’s less fishy.

When Fred Flintstone got that cut of dinosaur rib that toppled his car it was a comic nod to real cuts of meat like these. Huge versions of the chops and steaks we’re used to, cut thicker, with more bone, more fat, more meat, more everything. That includes more ethical: like the pre-historic herds of grazing buffalo that lived their lives out on the prairies with no feedlots, antibiotics or hormones, these are cuts from cattle and pigs raised out on pasture with room to roam and the diets they evolved to eat. We’ll send two thick-cut Red Wattle porterhouse pork chops, a gigantic cowboy cut ribeye from Carman Ranch—a ribeye with a bone handle. Plus a pound of grass-fed ground beef.

Bavette Steaks from Carman Ranch

New York Strip Steaks from Carman Ranch

The bavette is a favorite among butchers for its huge flavor, but unknown to most of the rest of us—unless you’ve enjoyed one at a bistro in Paris, where it’s more common. It comes from next to the flank, so it’s great for grilling up rare like a flank steak. Beefy, juicy, with slightly sweet flavor. Ships frozen. M-BAV-2 two steaks, 10-12 oz each $65 M-BAV-4 four steaks, 10-12 oz each $120

Just like tomatoes have a season, so do grass fed cattle. Lush summer grass makes for great tasting beef. Winter grass makes for less flavorful—and less tender—beef. At Carman Ranch in Oregon, the cattle spend their whole lives out on pasture eating grass, and they only produce beef when the grass is at its richest and the cattle are at their fattest. These strip steaks from Carman Ranch are deeply savory, with earthy flavor and a great mineral tang. Ships frozen. M-STP-2 2 steaks, 10-12 oz each $75 M-STP-4 4 steaks, 10-12 oz each $140

When you walk into Zingerman’s Delicatessen, the first thing you see is bread. Enormous shelves stretching up to the ceiling, piled high with stacks of beautiful loaves. You can’t escape the smell. Invited to taste, you're unable to resist. Like most, you’ll end up leaving with a couple tucked under your arm. There’s not a bad loaf among them and the real gems—traditional peasant loaves like Paesano, Farm, and Jewish Rye—will redefine what you think bread can be. It may sound crazy to take that bread and send it in the mail. It sounded nuts in 1992 when we started baking. Still does today. But we ship more bread than any other food we sell, always have. If you’re not totally convinced but curious to see what the fuss is about, rest assured you can try it without risk. I guarantee you’ll love it. If you don’t, I’ll refund or re-ship, no questions asked.

“One of the best cheesecakes in the country.” —Food & Wine Zingerman’s Classic Cheesecake

Walk into any classic deli in New York and you’re sure to find cheesecake on the menu. Ours is made by the crack baking team at Zingerman’s Bakehouse. They use fresh farm cheese from Zingerman’s Creamery, real vanilla, lots of sweet butter and a graham cracker crust (we make our own graham crackers, too). This classic cheesecake is luscious. Dense yet fluffy in texture, rich yet bright in flavor. A-ZCH 7 inch cake, serves 6–8 $85

our new gaRdEN breAd

Veggie Confetti Sweet Bread Veggie Confetti Sweet Bread starts with the same real butter, fresh eggs, and cane sugar used in all our pastries, then gets a deep, dark sweetness from the addition of grated zucchini, beets, and carrots. Then the loaf gets a heady dose of cinnamon and nutmeg to tie it all together. The vegetables give the bread a deep, rich hue dotted with bursts of color and a soft, moist crumb full of flavor—a lot like pumpkin bread, but without the pumpkin. A sweet addition to the bread basket, a lighter option for dessert, or a superlative breakfast with coffee or tea. Comes wrapped in tissue and gift boxed.

Classic, Chocolate and Pecan Praline Banana Breads The diabolical pastry enablers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse have focused their dark magic on classic banana bread. Like our hugely popular sour cream coffee cake and magic brownies, banana bread instantly conjures up nostalgia for home baking. The thing is, this loaf tastes better than what mom used to make (no offense intended moms, it’s just hard to beat our Bakehouse). The classic has no nuts, with simple ingredients like cane sugar, real butter and fresh eggs, a touch of Madagascar vanilla and two ultra ripe bananas per loaf. Chocolate chunk banana has the addition of—you guessed it—huge chunks of chocolate. Pecan praline is topped with a layer of caramel-coated toasted pecans sprinkled with a pinch of sea salt. Wrapped in tissue, each loaf comes packed in its own colorfully illustrated box. Serves 5-7.

bubbly bright Champagne Vinegar

Kimberly started making vinegars by the Orleans method back in the 70s and they haven’t changed a thing. In a nutshell, the Orleans method mixes fresh wine with older vinegars. The ‘mother’ vinegar teaches the bacteria present in the air and wine to convert the alcohol into acetic acid, turning the wine into vinegar. Kimberly sources Pinot Noir grapes to create this champagne vinegar. It’s light on the tongue, not very sharp (thanks to a lower acidity), bright and fruity. It’s great in a tomato and cucumber salad, in vinaigrettes, or to deglaze a pan. V-CPN 375 ml bottle $15 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

It’s not too often you see the French taking a page from the Italians when it comes to cuisine, but they did just that in crafting this intense, complex vinegar. It’s made from the same grapes (Trebbiano) balsamic vinegar makers use in Modena, Italy. Just like the Italians, they reduce the fresh pressed juice in copper kettles, then age the concentrated juice in oak barrels formerly used to age Cognac, which gives it a French twist. Like its Italian cousin, this vinegar is smooth, complex, a little sweet with a finish that seems to linger for hours. Unlike its cousin, it’s light on the tongue (not thick) and more versatile in the kitchen. My favorite new vinegar in years. V-CGN 200 ml bottle $39 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Balsamic Vinegars from La Vecchia Dispensa Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni, her husband Marino Tintori, and their son Simone make a range of great vinegars. Although Americans tend to gravitate toward sweet caramel-flavored balsamics, Marino is quick to emphasize “the key to great Balsamico is balance.” Exaggerating sweetness is an easy way to enhance appeal and reduce the need for proper blending and aging. You might not notice it at first, but after many uses overly sweet balsamics get kind of dull. Not so with those from the Tintoris. We’ve been selling them for over a decade, and they have a legion of followers who return to them again and again.

In Spanish, tapas sort of means snacks, but that’s an inexact translation. In English you wouldn’t eat a meal of snacks. In Spain there’s no problem doing just that. There, tapas can start a meal or substitute for it entirely. The ingredients in this collection of open-and-serve delectables are not all Spanish, but the idea is. Eat them as the Spanish do, as evening makes its way indoors, with a glass of crisp wine. Packed by hand in our classic cartoon Zingerman’s box, including: Zingerman’s Farm Bread, La Quercia’s Borsellino Salami, Spanish Anise and Olive Oil Crispy Tortas, Marcona Almonds, Cod-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers from Basque Country and Portuguese Sardines.

To be honest, the jar caught my eye first. A wax seal drips from the top looking like chocolate that leaked out of the vat. Usually when I see clever packaging like this I’m suspect.

Apalachicola River Basin, Florida

James Island, South Carolina

The honey made famous by Van Morrison’s song, and in the film Ulee’s Gold starring Peter Fonda, is made exclusively in north Florida, along the swampy Apalachicola River basin. There, bees feed on the pale green flowers of the shrubby ogeechee tupelo tree. The honey is clear, its color deep gold, its texture silky smooth and pourable. The aroma is of flowers and caramel. The flavor is deceptively light at first—a hint of green apple—but grows to a crescendo of warmth at the back of the throat. P-ULE 9 oz jar $23

Jimmy Red is an heirloom varietal of corn. The name comes from James Island, South Carolina, where it was first grown, and from the deep red color of the kernels. Though growing Jimmy Red corn is more labor intensive than most corn on the market these days, the flavor is amplified about a hundred fold. The grits are ground by Anson Mills using stone mills, which keep all of that flavor intact. These are some of the best grits I’ve ever tasted, with robust, mildly sweet, long-lasting flavor.

Dos Palos, California Kokuho Rose Heirloom Rice

ROBIN KODA KODA FARMS, DOS PALOS, CA Along with her brother Ross, Robin Koda is a third generation rice farmer. After surviving the Japanese-American internment during World War II, Robin’s grandfather and his sons returned to their farm in California’s Central Valley and developed exceptionally delicious heirloom Kokuho Rose Rice. As Robin explains, “By contemporary standards, our rice is considered impractical to farm, given its long maturity and low yield... our stubborn commitment to our Kokuho Rose doesn’t make cents and dollars, but is an emotional legacy.”

Kokuho Rose has been cultivated by the Koda family for more than fifty years, since they first developed it on their California farm. The rice has Japanese origins, and this short-grain, white colored rice is a great choice for sushi. The flavor is delicate, lightly sweet. But what I love about it is the texture. It’s incredibly creamy. Eating it with some stir fried meats and veggies, the rice doesn’t disappear in the background—that creamy texture amplifies the dish and adds complexity.

Cl ay Oliver OLIVER FARMS, PITTS, GA Clay Oliver is a fifth-generation farmer. A decade ago, he became concerned about his family farm’s dependence on fluctuating commodity markets for his primary crops like cotton, soybeans, and peanuts. He went looking for ways to diversify his offerings and landed on cold-pressing small batches of local nut and seed oils. Clay is passionate about making hugely flavorful oils—ones that, as he puts it, “taste like what it says on the label”—a huge difference from most neutral-flavored cooking oils at the grocery.

“Green” peanuts are raw—practically all peanuts are dried to prevent spoilage, but Clay Oliver and his team cold press these ones into oil just after harvesting. As Clay explains it, “We don’t do anything to it, we just leave the oil in its natural state. We crush the seeds, we clean it to get anything out that’s not oil, and then we bottle it.” Unlike bulk peanut oils (which are typically heavily refined), this oil has a vibrant freshness, almost like green beans, with a subtle nutty richness. Drizzle it over fish, over roast squash, on sautéed greens or mushrooms. O-GPN 8.4 oz bottle $12 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Jainaba Jeng KITCHENS OF AFRICA, RALEIGH, NC Jainaba Jeng was born in The Gambia, a small country in West Africa. While attending university in Canada, a military coup at home inspired her to emigrate to North Carolina where her sister lived. Jainaba would spend full days recreating the foods of her homeland. To share the spicy, tangy, sweet, pungent and bitter complexity of her cuisine, she began jarring her sauces. She says, “I hope you will feel the warmth, love and soul of all women of Africa to whom I pay tribute.”

Yassa Sauce Yassa sauce is maker Jainaba Jeng’s favorite. It’s a blend of fresh ginger, garlic, caramelized onions and more. It’s smoky with paprika and gets a little heat behind it thanks to Dijon mustard. In short, it’s a whole lotta flavor in a jar, ready for simmering with chicken, vegetables, tofu, or anything else on Tuesday night’s menu. A quick way to turn a weekday dinner into something truly exotic (and delicious). P-YAS 12 oz jar $17 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Maffé Sauce Maffé sauce is a regional hit in West Africa. “It’s known by many different names depending on where you are,” says maker Jainaba Jeng. “It’s a blend of fresh ginger, garlic, peanuts, chiles, tomatoes and more.” Best of all it’s easy to use. Simply simmer chicken, meat, seafood, tofu in the maffe and serve over rice or noodles. Fast, flavorful food for the gourmand on the go. P-MAF 12 oz jar $17 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Tomato & Garlic Achaars

Achaars are spicy spreads from India, where they’re served with rice, curry, dal and yogurt. They’re also super with omelets, on sandwiches, and with meats. These achaars are handmade by Chitra Agarwal and her team at Brooklyn Delhi. The tomato version is smooth and spicy with chiles, tamarind, and spices. Garlic is chunky with cloves of oven roasted garlic, brightened with lemon oil. P-AHR 9 oz jar tomato $15 P-GHR 9 oz jar garlic $15 EACH SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Tikka Masala Sauce & Dad’s Savory Tomato Curry Sauce Chitra Agrawal won us over with her achaars (at left) so it’s no surprise we fell in love with these new simmer sauces. Dad’s Savory Tomato Curry is all-purpose curry, tasting of carmalized onions, and garlic and ginger. It’s on the mild side so you can spice each diner’s plate to their personal heat level. Tikka Masala is just as versatile and mild, tasting of tomatoes and sweet coconut cream, onions, garlic and a bevy of spices. These sauces make cooking a lot easier (and delicious). Simply grab some chicken or chickpeas, or any vegetables you love and simmer in the sauce. Serve over rice, graciously accept the accolades.

our hOuse Sauce

Zingerman’s Red Rage Barbecue Sauce When Zingerman’s Roadhouse burst on the scene in 2003, it opened as our homage to American cuisine. We travel the world to find amazing flavors to bring back to Ann Arbor, but this was the first time we focused our energies on the delicious things happening in our own backyard. And what’s more American than barbecue? And what’s more barbecue than tomato-based sauce? Zingerman’s Red Rage Barbecue Sauce is made in our own kitchen from a melange of ketchup, coffee, beer, peppers, garlic, onions, honey and enough spices to bring a little flush of rage to your cheeks. Slather on the flavor and grill like we do. P-RRG 14 oz bottle $12 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Coconut Cilantro Chutney From Basbaas Foods in Brooklyn comes this spicy, cheek flushing yet sweet and smooth sauce that’s a major flavor boaster in Somalia. Hawa Hassan, the force behind Basbaas Foods was fortunate to escape Mogadishu during the civil war with her mother and siblings. At the age of seven she was sent to Seattle. She’s been in the U.S. ever since, but she never forgot the people and cuisine she left behind. Hawa turned that nostalgia into some incredibly tasty sauces, and this one is perhaps her most versatile. Bright with cilantro, this sauce tastes beautifully fresh and vibrant, like a Somali take on fresh salsa. Try it as a condiment on scallops, vegetables, chickpeas or chicken.

Somali surprise

Tamarind Date Sauce Hawa Hassan, the founder of Basbaas Somali Foods, was born in Mogadishu but fled first to Kenya and later to Seattle as a child during the Somali civil war. She eventually landed in Brooklyn, where she’s created this spicy yet sweet and delightfully fruity sauce made from a base of tamarind and dates that’s popular in her native Somalia. It’s a complex addition to dressings and marinades. Or drizzle it over chicken, pork, steak, grilled fish, anywhere you’d like to add a punch of fruity heat to the dish. P-TAM 8 oz jar $16

Rupen Rao immigrated to America from India, bringing his mother’s recipes with him. After a few years he was teaching Indian cooking classes, which led to a catering business, cookbooks, and a line of sauces. His saag—the word for spinach throughout much of the Indian subcontinent—curry is perfect for simmering. Simply sauté chunks of chicken breast or vegetables in a pan for ten minutes, then add the sauce and simmer for another ten minutes. Or use it as a marinade for quick, flavorful grilled meats.

WHAT WAS OLD IS NEW AGAIN Zingerman’s Babkas Babka is a sweet loaf, both fluffy and rich, kind of like a light textured coffee cake with a dense filling swirled throughout. The master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse make two flavors of babka. The first is swirling with chocolate and cinnamon and studded with juicy golden sultana raisins. The second is balanced between sweet and tart, loaded with earthy dates, luscious figs and bright pomegranate molasses swirled throughout. If you have memories of dry, lifeless babka from your childhood, these’ll make you forget ’em forever. Wrapped in tissue and gift boxed, each serves 6-8.

You take a couple bites, a shower of sugar and cinnamon fills your fingers and you’re done...until you reach for another. We offer three gift boxes.

Mandelbread is a citrus almond cookie. They’re similar to biscotti— moon-shaped and crunchy—but instead of tasting like sad cardboard they have loads of citrus-and-almond flavor. Toasted almonds get the spotlight. There are a ton of them. Almost more than can fit. The rest of the mandelbread is held together with fresh eggs and sweet butter, and the flavor is amplified with fresh lemon and orange zest along with a dose of real vanilla. Crunchy, crispy and very dunkable in coffee or milk, they’re great enjoyed by their lonesome when it’s time for a sweet reward. P-MND about 21 pieces, boxed $40

PLAGUE PICTORIALS

Marzipan Passover Plague Lollipops

a pr i l

WED

The story of Passover is a dark tale: ten plagues were visited upon Egypt so that Moses and the Israelites would be freed from slavery and allowed to leave. It’s an important story, but it can be challenging to explain to younger children. That’s where these marzipan lollipops can help. I know what you’re probably thinking at this point; I thought it all too. First, who dreamed this up? Second, is it for real? And third, it sounds kind of interesting, actually. Let me assure you they are for real, they are interesting, and they taste great. Marzipan is a firm, chewy candy of almond, sugar, and egg whites. It doesn’t lick like a sugar candy lollipop—it’s more of a lick-and-chew kind of event. Each pop has a design depicting one of the plagues, in a fun, approachable way. Ten pops total, one for each plague. P-LGU 10 lollipops, boxes $45 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

pasSOver's Prize Coconut Macaroons

Traditionally they’re for Passover, but I’m on a mission to have us all eating macaroons all year long. Why hold back when they’re this good? Our coconut macaroons are slightly crunchy on the outside, rich and creamy on the inside. Baked with Madagascar Vanilla or Belgian Chocolate. Simply put, they're the best-tasting coconut macaroons I’ve ever had anywhere, with a buttery, coconut aroma that stays with you like a strong memory. Made without wheat, but not Kosher. A-MAC 6 vanilla, 6 chocolate, boxed $40 FREE SHIPPING

Matzo Made modern Chocolate Covered Matzo Toffee

PASSOVER PIE

Chocolate & Orange Torte Made with matzo meal instead of flour (so it’s acceptable for Passover), our chocolate orange tortes are loaded with ground almonds, fresh eggs, a touch of orange oil and rich, dark chocolate. It all comes nicely boxed in our handsome round, printed wooden crate. Available until Passover ends. Serves 6-8. G-PVT 6 inch across, gift boxed $60 FREE SHIPPING

A confection that’s greater than the sum of its parts. And it’s got a lot of parts. Smooth Belgian chocolate, crunchy peanuts, crisp toasted rice, crackling bits of toffee and matzo—delicious. Separately, the players in this chocolate covered cluster are darn good. Mixed together? Forget it, they’re amazing. From the Matzo Project in Brooklyn, the only folks I know who are daring to make matzo cool in a way it never, ever was. P-CMZ 3.5 oz box $14 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Chocolate Moderne Eggs

Our friends at Chocolat Moderne in New York City have nested three huge eggs into a handsome little box just for us for Easter.

magic hazelnut eggs

Chocolate and Hazelnut Stuffed Eggs A magic trick moonlighting as an Easter sweet. It started its life as a perfectly proper egg. Then the insides were removed, deployed for dinner, the shell rinsed. Next it was filled with two ounces of Venchi’s supremely luxurious hazelnut and chocolate gianduja, the most popular sweet of Italy’s Piedmont. The shell was decorated and remains perfectly intact. It cracks and peels just like a hard boiled egg, albeit an egg laid from a chocolate chicken. Dispense them into Easter baskets if you must, but make sure to hoard a couple for the Easter Bunny.

bean-toBar eGgs

Fruition Easter Eggs Fruition Chocolate is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker, meaning they source their own cacao beans directly from farmers and then use them to craft all manner of chocolate bars and confections, including these bright pink and blue eggs for Easter. Each box of four eggs contains two flavors: Strawberry Basil, which starts savory like fresh basil from the garden but finishes with bright strawberry sweetness, and Peanut Butter & Toffee, which almost tastes like the truffle version of a PB&J sandwich from the bright, fruity notes of the chocolate. The bold, fresh flavors will wow even the most adventurous Easter eater you know. P-FCE 4 eggs, 1.6 oz total $20 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Golden Egg Box of Chocolates

Inside this egg-shaped glossy golden box is an “ordinary” set of a dozen chocolate bonbons, if anything from Chocolat Moderne can be considered remotely ordinary. The bold yet balanced flavors inside the handmade chocolates run the gamut from Kashmir-spiced ganache with cardamom, cinnamon, and clove, to grapefruit caramel, to almond marzipan, to 72% Venezuelan dark chocolate ganache with single malt scotch. The grown-up flavors are just the thing for unwinding after a long evening of hiding Easter eggs around the yard. P-GEB 12 chocolates in golden egg box $65 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Easter Fondant Cake Fondant frosting makes a gorgeous cake. It shapes like potter’s clay and holds color like a fresco. All those tilting, day-glo cakes you see that are so alluring—all fondant. Unfortunately, most of the cake’s engineering stops at decoration. The meat of the cake, so to speak, is bland and pointless. Our popular carrot cake—loads of carrots, toasted walnuts and more—has a handmade vanilla fondant frosting that really tastes good. It's decked out with a clumsy bunny. Quantities limited, reserve yours early. Ships frozen. A-EAS 2¼ lbs, 6" diameter, serves 6-10 $125 FREE SHIPPING

TemPting Fate

All Our Eggs In One Basket I won’t walk on eggshells here when I tell you that we’ve gone and flaunted that age old advice. They say, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” We say, “Don’t tell us what to do!” They should be grateful that at least we didn’t kill the golden goose to make it happen. Just for Easter, we’ve put all our various Easter eggs together in one big basket. (OK, technically, it’s a wooden crate with “Zingerman’s” emblazoned across the lid, but that’s not part of a catchy idiom.) The collection includes huge chocolate stuffed eggs from Chocolat Moderne, bean-to-bar crafted chocolate eggs from Fruition Chocolate, chocolate and hazelnut eggs inside real eggshells, and one Golden Egg from Veruca Chocolates. In all, there are a dozen eggs. And just for good measure, we tossed in a couple of bags of handmade raspberry and coconut marshmallow “Bunny Tails” from Zingerman’s Candy Manufactory. Sure to be the fullest flavored—and the most fate tempting—Easter basket on the block. G-EIB easter basket $160

Heritage Breed easter Ham

Pecan Smoked Duroc Hams The meat masters at Smoking Goose in Indianapolis start this ham with heritage Duroc-breed pork from Gunthorp Farm in northern Indiana. The pigs are raised out on pasture with plenty of room to root and roam, and they’re never given antibiotics or hormones. The hams are cured with pepper, coriander, mustard seed, honey, bay leaf and a strawberry-rhubarb cider from New Day Meadery in Indianapolis. The flavor is a knockout. Sweet and complex, with a smooth smokiness that lingers long after you put down your fork. The hams are fully cooked and ready to eat right away. Most people simply heat them up and they’re ready to be the centerpiece for a big meal. A Zingerman’s exclusive, available only for Easter.
