Recipe for Chocolate and Cherry Pithiviers and cookbook & Zabar's favorite preserves giveaway

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

These pithiviers are the most delightful little hand pies with cherry AND chocolate. And they whip up quickly if you use frozen puff pastry—we love Dufours brand. You can vary this recipe by using another flavor of jam or marmalade. Ah.

Zabar's Tops the List: 10 Specialty Grocery Stores That Actually Inspire Us to Eat at Home

Thanks Pure Wow, for the visit and great write up as one of the 10 Specialty Grocery Stores That Actually Inspire Us to Eat at Home 
By Maggie McGlinchy.

ZABAR’S
An NYC institution, the iconic Tudor building with the orange logo has been serving Manhattan’s Upper West Side since 1934, when Louis and Lillian Zabar first opened their doors. Aside from the grocery (known for its smoked fish, baked goods, coffee and cheese), Zabar’salso has a kitchen and housewares section on the second floor as well as a café next door, usually filled with octogenarians. The shop claims to have caused, and won, the “Caviar Wars” in the ’80s, so you know where to find fish eggs for a steal.
What to buy: Zabar’s merch, rugelach, caviar

20 Years since "You've Got Mail"

Does anyone remember when Zabar's stared in "You've Got Mail"? Can you believe that was 20 years ago!

Check out this recap of movie locations & see our own General Manager, Scott Goldshine talk about what it was like when he was here, during filming.

Tiptree Pudding, Somerdale Cheddar, Tiptree/Wilkin & Sons Little Scarlet Preserves, to buy in the store

Mrs. Zabar Changes Her Mind about Fruitcake…

I always thought there are ten hideous, fossilized fruitcakes that people re-gifted over and over, traveling the world. Then, our friends from Tiptree in England came to visit. They shared with me a tiny rectangle of their Tiptree Christmas Pudding (actually a cake, but dessert in the UK is called pudding), topped with a tiny rectangle of Somerdale Classic English Cheddar, a dollop of their chutney, and a teeny sprig of thyme.

The boozy cake’s sweetness paired perfectly with the sharpness of the cheese and the savory chutney. I’m hooked. However, I confess to substituting their Little Scarlet preserves in place of the chutney. ‘Tis the season for more sweetness. Please come shop at Zabar’s and pick up some of these holiday treats. You might change your mind too!
