The Doghouse Kitchen Treats
(15 August 2006) - Dogs, like most people, will take good tasting junk food treats over most healthy treats. The Doghouse Kitchen makes organic dog treats that are dairy-, wheat- and corn-free—and apparently quite tasty. They do not contain any preservatives, GMO, salt or soy products. Of the three varieties, I Yam What I Yam ranks highest on the list of CH mascots Otis and Logan's favorite treats....

Java Juice
(09 May 2006) - Only second best to an IV drip, Java Juice, a new coffee extract makes your next caffeine fix as instant— and as transportable and economical—as a Cup-o-Noodles. Slightly more gourmet and environmentally-friendly than its ramen counterpart, each packet contains a half-ounce of organic Arabica coffee that, unlike other extracts, is a "live" product, formulated to retain freshness and flavor without the use of preservatives....

Axe
(04 May 2006) - A legendary fixture in Venice, CA, Axe represents the best in California cuisine. Drawing on the foundation built by Chez Panisse, their culinary friends to the north, Axe's menu highlights the flavors and textures of organic seasonal produce from local farmers, rather than using sauces and seasonings of more traditional cuisines. The resulting dishes, like a subtly earthy nettle soup, a flatbread platter with...

Cheers to Earth Day
(21 April 2006) - Producers are responding to the increased demand for organic beer and spirits. Here are a few that caught our eye. Papagayo organic rums (plain and spiced), the world's first, come from a remote region in Paraguay. A project started in 1993 helped the local farmers, now some 800+, cultivate organic sugar cane. Because their crops are now ITFA certified the farmers benefit from higher...

Daylesford Organic
(12 April 2006) - While he was over here in London last week, Evan took a look at the food from Daylesford Organic and urged me to do the same. Produced on 7,000 acres in both the Cotswolds and Staffordshire, it aims to tick all those boxes the ethical consumer looks out for: organic, fresh, seasonal and local. I grabbed lunch from the Daylesford concession in Selfridges -...

Laloo's Goat's Milk Ice Cream Company
(27 January 2006) - Laloo's Goat's Milk Ice Cream Company is hand made on a farm in Sonoma, CA where the 350 goats roam and graze freely in the majestic fields. These must be some very happy goats, because their milk, and the ice cream that is made from it, is outrageously good. Goat's milk is low in fat and low in lactose, which makes it easier to...

Bear Naked Instant Oatmeal
(19 January 2006) - Bear Naked granola is a staple in the CHHQ pantry. Their products have always impressed us for their quality, variety, light and natural sweetness and their wholesome natural ingredients. We were intrigued by their new line of instant oatmeal (two words we don't like to see together, honestly). Instant oatmeal is usually pretty gross, but we were impressed—really impressed—with the tasty, not-too-sweet, 90 seconds-in-the-microwave...

Essence: Vitamin Enriched Underwear from Aussiebum
(06 January 2006) - Aussiebum, an Australian underwear company, has just introduced their newest line of underwear, called Essence. The underwear is made from microfibre, which is treated with acerola (a fruit high in vitamin c and antioxidents) and other "organic substances." These ingredients remain active for 15 washes, and can be "reactivated." What's fascinating about this technology are other potential enrichments: Think caffeine, nicotine (or the opposite,...

Crummy Brothers Organic Cookies
(05 January 2006) - Spear tipped us off to these cookies. We buy a lot of cookies. We get sent a lot of cookies. We eat a lot of cookies at CH HQ. But we have never. Never. Tasted cookies like these. These righteous treats are geared for an adult palette. Though you can get 'em plain, we highly recommend the lightly-infused flavors: Lavender, Orange Blossom and Peppermint....

Appellation Wine & Spirits
(22 December 2005) - You have to get a little excited knowing that the organic food marketplace is getting big enough and consumers informed enough that a store like Appellation Wine & Spirits can have a successful business. This wine and spirits shop is unremarkable on first glance—sparse, low key—but walking inside and browsing through their products you soon start to realize that the descriptions of the wines...

(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.

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...

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...

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...

Store Wars
(09 May 2005) - Remember the Store Wars, a short film by Free Range Graphics for the Organic Trade Association, spreads the word of the pro-organic movement in a humorous and timely manner. It's hard not to love TofuD2, Ham Solo and Chewbroccoli (my favorite). ...

June Taylor Organic Jams
(18 March 2005) - Friends of mine have been receiving little pots of June Taylor's jams for the last few years. It's been a closely held little secret of mine. Fortunately for all of us, June has settled into her new "still room" in Berkeley and has been able to meet the increasing demand of her hand-made artisinal marmalades, conserves, fruit butters, syrups and other special treats. Superlatives...

(10 February 2005) - Rosemary Honey Goat's Milk. Lemon Opal Basil Sorbetto. Carambola con Limon Verde. Intrigued yet? Stephanie Reitano was so inspired by trips to gelaterias in her husband's native Italy that she created her own in Philadelphia. Produced EVERY morning in small batches using only the freshest (and mostly local, seasonal and organic) ingredients. Stephanie's more than 250 flavors will intrigue, beguile and seduce you. Let's...

Froehlich's Pickled Green Pear Tomatoes

The red elixir is said to be of a higher quality than normal tomato juice with a fresher taste than other brands. This product is the collaborative effort of Taketo Oguchi and Hideki Inaba.

Twice Shy
(26 October 2004) - All of Twice Shy's T-shirts have a random fortune sewn into the sleeve and many of the designs have subtle political messages (or not so subtle). The biggest statement they make, however, is with the fabric they've chosen to use; all of Twice Shy's garments are made with organically grown cotton. Did you know, every conventionally grown cotton t-shirt is responsible for putting into...

Watch the movie, then check out these sites for some great resources on eating well and responsibly: Farm to Table where you can connect to top New York State farmers and vintners, and find out how and where you can buy their products.
