All I can say is WOW!
L-R Tia, Katie, Devin, Bryce |
They offered us so many wonderful items to sample...I don't even know where to begin!
Bryce created two fabulous treats to start us off...
Panko Almond Shrimp |
Panko Almond Shrimp, above, served on a bed of Sweet Potato Rossini, Spicy Slaw, and drizzled with a Honey Gastrique. Bryce explained that gastrique is a stock or flavoring created when a sweet substance, in this case honey, is reduced with an acidic, such as vinegar.
Chocolate Covered Orzo Risotto |
Whole Foods Market didn't stop surprising us with flavors there! Devin also made two great creations, Braised Pomegranate Short Ribs and Sweet Potatoes with Lime.

Next Katie from Whole Foods Market prepared some sweet treats, Hail Merry Macaroons (gluten free, vegan, no refined sugars) Dark Chocolate covered Strawberries, Gillian's Chocolate Cake (wheat and gluten free).
Gluten Free Macaroons, Dark Chocolate Strawberries, Gluten Free Chocolate Cake |

Folks, that creativity shows! They were all so patient with our questions and explained that Whole Foods Market often has demonstrators and specialists preparing samplings for their customers throughout the week in many stores. Don't be afraid to ask them questions, and learn some new cooking techniques! They love to be helpful!
And here's something special...that I can't wait to share!

Wow it all looks fabulous! Do they sell those particular items on the hot food bar? When I have time I shop at Glastonbury Whole Foods-usually every few weeks.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll see you at Chowdafest today. We plan to get there right around noon.
The short ribs and mashed lime sweet potatoes are being offered as part of the sweetheart dinner special. The shrimp and chocolate orzo were creations that Bryce put together, and don't think are offered on a regular basis. But the chocolate covered orzo was unbelievably good.
DeleteYes, hope to see you at ChowdaFest...and don't forget Whole Foods Chocolate Fest 2013. When I saw that I hoped you'd see this post as it is right in your area!
We love Whole Foods and wish there was one here in the CT shoreline area!
ReplyDeleteI know! There should be! Hoping that one goes in the Guilford Madison area.
