Sport Beans
(16 November 2005) - In the same vein as Gummi bear vitamins for kids and hair gel that looks like a Listerine strip comes another interesting half-breed: Performance Candy. Sport Beans are jelly beans that are "formulated with carbohydrates, electrolytes, and vitamins C and E." Nutritional information on the site puts them against the popular sports supplements (where they appear to do pretty well). And we thought natural...

Jones Soda Co. 2005 Holiday Pack
(16 November 2005) - Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans helped reintroduce novelty flavors in the youth marketplace (dirt, booger, vomit...), but Jones Soda has taken it to a new level with their 2005 Holiday Pack. Don't have time to eat your holiday dinner? You can drink it in five courses with their Broccoli Casserole, Smoked Salmon Paté, Turkey & Gravy, Corn on the Cob, and Pecan Pie flavored...

Dr. Becker's Bites dog and cat treats
(15 November 2005) - CH is always on the lookout for quality, natural dog treats. These crisps are made from beef liver and kidney with garlic and vitamin E supplement. That's all. No fillers, grains or other creepy stuff. Created by Karen Becker, DVM, they are a healthy (and from the way they are satisfyingly crunched by mascots Otis and Logan) presumably quite tasty. A 5 oz. bag...

Chocolate Show Roundup
(11 November 2005) - Highlights from the Chocolate Show, in NYC until 11/13/2005. Bissinger's has just launched a line of dark chocolate covered seeds and nuts they call Naturals. The Black Sesame Crunch is one of the best things I've tasted recently. Crunchy, savory, handmade...they are high in antioxidants and protein and low in sugar and carbs. The bag disappered within two minutes at CH HQ. Available online...

Chocolate Vitale Hot Chocolate
(31 October 2005) - We had the opportunity to taste this new hot chocolate from Chocolate Vitale at an Ubercool event the other night. Inspired by the celebrated hot chocolate cafés in Paris and conceived by an American couple from Seattle, this mix is pure chocolate and does not include cocoa powder. Simply melt it in some hot milk and you are good to go. We were impressed...

Peeled Snacks
(27 October 2005) - Noha Waibsnaider created Peeled Snacks a year ago when she couldn't find healthy snack foods at the grocery store. Three varieties are available, and all feature only dry roasted nuts and large chunks of dried fruits with no added sugar, oils, etc. One adds dark chocolate chunks. All are great, though we're partial to FigSated, which has apricots, dates, figs, almonds and pistachios. They...

Elizabeth Hickock's Jell-O Masterpiece
(25 October 2005) - San Francisco artist and designer Elizabeth Hickock has created an hommage to her city unlike any you've probably ever seen before. It's also a testament to her skills in the kitchen. The prints have a peaceful, eerie glow that pulls you in. The short film shows San Francisco in an earthquake, where fortunately the buildings only wobble. via Boing Boing ...

Pierre Marcolini Chocolatier
(21 October 2005) - Wondering what to get us for the holidays? Our birthdays? Any days? We're obsessed with the chocolate craft of Pierre Marcolini, an artisian chocolatier in Brussels (with shops in Tokyo, London, Paris and New York). What makes Pierre Marcolini chocolate so good? Like Blanxart they make their own chocolate from scratch, an increasingly rare art. They primarily use Criollo cacao beans grown in Venezuela,...

Alcoholica Esoterica
(18 October 2005) - Ian Lendler's new book Alcoholica Esoterica: A Collection of Useful and Useless Information As It Relates to the History and Consumption of All Manner of Booze is a new book in the "did you know?" category of miscellaneous and random facts that are essential while stalling client meetings, chatting up the person next to you on the plane, and adding to your already impressive...

TriniTEA Electric Tea Maker
(18 October 2005) - We've been making our afternoon cuppa with the TriniTea for the last week and it has earned a place on our kitchen counter. It's a two carafed system that separates steeping and serving. We like the timer that allows you to set how long you want your tea to steep; when it's done steeping it whooshes into the second, warmed carafe where it stays...

Spicy Thai flavor Kettle Chips
(11 October 2005) - There are a few reasons why these chips should be in your pantry. First off, they taste great. They have a not in-your-face combination of sweet, salty, spicy, tangy, and heat. Second, they are one of two flavors, along with Cheddar Beer (which taste better than they sound) that won Kettle Foods' People's Choice awards, where customers got to submit flavors and then vote...

Homegrown Pure and Simple
(06 October 2005) - Chef Michel Nischan is a source of inspiration for me as both a cook and someone passionate about food (especially organically raised food), family and friends. His new book, (with the help of formidable food writer Mary Goodbody), Homegrown Pure and Simple is a wonderful combination of his love for his mother and her simple garden cooking, his experiences and skills as a world-class...

Get the Scoop
(03 October 2005) - The Nuscüp, that is. We love this new multi-function measuring cup, designed by Pollen Design (designers of the Rabbit corkscrew) for the Swiss kitchenwares company Dalla Piazza. It is easy to use, ergonomic, and very sturdy. Your thumb controls the amount by easily moving the slide up and down. The cup holds both liquid and dry ingredients, and includes ml (30-140), liquid oz (1-4),...

Blanxart Chocolate Canela a la Taza
(30 September 2005) - As Autumn approaches and the temperatures drop it's time to start stocking up on hot chocolate. The first (of several we'll share with you this fall) is in bar form and is made by Bombons Blanxart, the celebrated Spanish chocolate company that has been making fine chocolate for more than 50 years. Truly artisinal, Blanxart uses cacao from Ecuador, Brazil and Africa and complements...

Dazz-Ahh
(26 September 2005) - There's nothing new about simple syrup (sugar dissolved in hot water). Nor is there anything new about using it instead of sugar in an iced tea, iced coffee or lemonade (because it is much easier to mix with cold beverages). But this is the first time I've come across it in ready-to-use packets, sitting among the growing assortment of sugar, raw sugar, and their...

Florent Bi-Decadent Ball Benefitting Friends of the High Line
(23 September 2005) - If you'll be in New York on October 22nd we encourage you to celebrate two of our favorite things: Restaurant Florent, a Meatpacking District institution, will be throwing a 20th birthday party benefitting The High Line. There will also be a gallery show with a variety of art and artifacts illustrating the Meatpacking District's transformation from "a place only meatpackers, tranny whores, and famished...

The Silver Spoon
(23 September 2005) - Phaidon Press is widely admired for making some of the best looking, best designed, and best printed design, art and photography books. When they announce the first cookbook in their catalog you know it's going to be something very special. The Silver Spoon has long been considered the bible of Italian cuisine. Originally published more than 50 years ago it was the first cookbook...

New Seal-a-Meal Vacuum Food Sealers
(21 September 2005) - If you're not familiar with vacuum food sealers take note. They are a great way to store food and ingredients (no more dried out brown sugar, for example), and one of the easiest ways to cook or reheat food. Seal-a-Meal has a few new food sealers that are easy to use and are attractive enough to keep out on the counter. I use a...

Sahale Snacks
(09 September 2005) - I've been obsessing over these great snacks lately. Like Josh and Edmond, the creators of Sahale snacks, I've found most nut/trail mixes lacking inspiration and flavor. The four recipes (Ksar Blend is my favorite) blend the freshest fruit and nuts with spices that really bring the flavors out. Great in the lunch box, as an afternoon snack, or with drinks. Available at stores everywhere...

Spiced Lady Ring
(07 September 2005) - Can't stand other people's cooking? Ever wish you could bring your own spices out on the town with you? Take a look at Iluren's Spiced Lady Ring, designed by Chao and Eero Jewel. Although it's also made as a three-dimensional free-standing sculpture, it also functions as a not-so-subtle poison ring or food general food enhancer....

Tokyo Bound
(30 August 2005) - On a recent trip to Tokyo in addition to the new cool stores, there were some cultural practices that stood out. When people are sick, or avoiding pollen they wear facial masks. I was in Tokyo at the beginning of Spring (just before cherry blossoms, needless to say, my timing is always off) and everyone was wearing them. It is totally normal. And in...

Flame-top Ceramic Cookware
(19 August 2005) - I have several pots that I love to cook with. Some can also store or reheat the food the day after. Emile Henry has just introduced its new Flame-top Ceramic cookware and it looks pretty amazing. It's ceramic, but it solves an age-old issue with ceramic pots' inability to handle a direct flame. The Flame-top can brown food, sit on the stove, in a...

TheFoodLoop
(18 August 2005) - Florence Fabricant wrote about TheFoodLoop in yesterday's New York Times and it's a great little invention: A simple worm-like heat-resistant reusable silicone fastener that you use to keep food together when you cook it. Unlike string or other fasteners, it doesn't break, stick, dry out or burn. Oven safe to 675ºF, expandable by linking multiple loops together, and dishwasher safe, it's time to throw...

Take a Tour on the Wild Side
(10 August 2005) - Chocolove's quality bars shouldn't be a discovery to those of you with a sweet tooth. They consistently deliver great taste and quality at a very reasonable price. I'm particularly fond of the Cherries and Almond bar (though 55% is a bit lighter than I usually prefer). I'm particularly excited about two new additions to the Chocolove line: 2004 Vintage bars, and their new line...
