Seasoning Pastes in a Tube


Imported from Italy, Amore seasoning pastes are an easy way to let your imagination add some intrigue to your cooking. Each comes in a tube so it is easy to use.( Just put what you don't use in the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a bit the next time you use it.) There's Tomato Paste--perfect for when you want a light glaze of tomato rather than a sauce; Herb Paste--versatile in pasta, vegetables, etc.; Anchovy Paste--try some in a Caesar salad to get an authentic taste;Garlic--in everything! (almost) Pesto--add it to pasta for instant gratification (comparatively speaking) Sun-Dried Tomato--sandwiches, pasta, etc and Hot Pepper--adds pizazz to pasta, tofu, you name it.
Available at many supermarkets. Enjoy!

"Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?"

Just mustard, you say? There’s mustard and then there is Grey Poupon, which has used the ingredients we recognize as personifying this brand for more than 230 years, with exquisite variations every so often.


Grey Poupon Dijon mustard is the best selling Dijon in America, and has frequently won top honors at the Napa Valley Mustard Festival. They have used the same honored recipe and first-rate ingredients since 1777—when, in Dijon, France, Monsieur Poupon agreed to financially back the development of Monsieur Grey’s secret mustard recipe.

A few more recent twists include Hearty Spicy Brown, Savory Honey and Harvest Coarse Ground. Each of these easily lend themselves to star not just as condiments but as an ingredient of mystery when combined with other ingredients to season an entrée or side dish. Need another reason to perk up your sandwich or add a bit of unexpected flavor to an entrée? National Mustard Day is August 7.
