A year couldn’t start any better. Than with such a great media coverage. Thank you again to Alia, Jay and Michael! You’ve made us very proud! Because finally we received two copies of the latest issue of “Edilble Queens” by mail. We couldn’t await to get these since we had the interview and the photo shoot in our kitchen, the Entrepreneur’s Space in Long Island City.

Weeks later we finally hold them in our hands and are very very proud! This was the first person to person interview we gave to our valued friend Alia and also our first photo shoot. We are talking about how everything started, our vision to make our Christmas cookie brand the most famous Christmas cookie brand in the world and more.

If you are interested in the whole interview, please head over to the Edible Queens website and click the photo of the current issue to read it online. If you are in Queens, see if you can still grab one of the print copies like at the Entrepreneur’s Space or the Food Cellar & Co. for example.

Bavarian Cream

Downtown Bon Vivant — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:47:30 +0000

Bayerische Creme or Bayrisch Creme as we call it in Bavaria, Germany is internationally also known as Crème bavaroise. Some describe it as a German Panna cotta, some say it would be very similar to “Schlag“. Anyway, Bavarian cream is probably the best someone can make from pure Bourbon vanilla, cream, sugar, egg and gelatin. Served with fresh fruits of the season and a freshly made ragout, it is a great dessert for any occasion.
INGREDIENTS: cream, sugar, egg, gelatin, pure Bourbon vanilla, Grand Marnier and seasonal fruits
AVAILABLE: 4 oz, $ 4 for wholesale (restaurants and gourmet stores), catering and local delivery in NYC and Detroit.
