Thyme
$8.00
To ancient Greeks, Thyme symbolized style, elegance and courage. In the middle ages, ladies would embroider thyme leaves on the scarves of their knights to wear into battle. To the Roman, Pliny, it was a remedy for a myriad of disorders.
Use to season leg of lamb, French stews, Italian dishes, poultry stuffing, Manhattan clam chowder, and stocks. Try on fresh tomatoes, add a pinch to marinades, herb butters and cottage cheese (or put under your pillow to ward off bad dreams). [Thyme]

French Vinaigrette
$10.00Traditional French meals are completed by serving a simple salad course, frequently just lettuce or frisee leaves moistened by a very light vinaigrette. Our French Vinaigrette Dressing is authentically based on shallots, milled mustard seed, and French herbs. After mixing (directions below), pour some dressing into the bottom of your salad bowl before adding the dry lettuce. Toss and enjoy. Also makes a wonderful marinade for asparagus, broccoli, or green beans. Bon appetit!
Traditional French dressing or vegetable marinade directions: Mix 2T Blend with 2T water, let stand 5 minutes to rehydrate. Whisk in ½ cup olive oil & 1/4 to 1/3 cup vinegar (typically sherry vinegar, wine vinegar, or our personal favorite, champagne vinegar).
Hand blended in small batches: shallots, sea salt, mustard, black pepper, and tarragon.
Quick Tips:
