Heidi’s Picks
Feature Resource: DECEMBER
Charelli's Cheese Shop
"Your search for the best has not gone unnoticed. . ." Seller of fine cheeses and specialty ingredients, this gem of a shop is the best place in town to source hard-to-find European ingredients. In addition to retail, Charelli's also offers catering services and custom gift baskets: perfect for this time of year!
Feature Ingredient: DECEMBER
Meyer Lemon
Thought to be a cross between regular lemons and mandarin oranges, Meyer lemons have a beautiful aroma and low acidity. I love to use their fragrant zest in a variety of desserts: cookies, cakes, custards, citrus curds, sorbets, and syrups. They also make excellent marmalade. They are in season from December to March, so get your fill while you can.
Feature Event: DECEMBER
The ICC Christmas Shaker
