I’m adding a new category to my blog called FOODIES REVIEW. As you may have guessed by now, I am a Foodie. In fact, I used to have a food repping business called, guess what? Foodies. These aren’t necessarily reviews per se, but plugs for products and restaurants that I absolutely LOVE. The first product line I want to present to you is from my friend Robert Lambert. He makes the most amazing marmalades, chocolate sauces and preserved fruit! When I repped his line every store I showed it to bought it. People who didn’t like marmalade loved his. He picks all the fruit himself and makes everything by hand. Inspiration for his products came from a family farm in northern Wisconsin, where his grandmother Florrie began cooking at 13 in the logging camps of the early 1900’s. Extensive preserving by mother and grandmother was a fond childhood memory. When these memories met the ingredients of his adopted California home–wine, grapes, citrus fruit and ginger-–-his product line was born. Robert is pictured here receiving his award from Jacques Pepin for his cherries in merlot syrup.
