From Our Kitchen to Yours

The legendary Co-op Kitchen! Home to our in-house culinary wizards and flavor aficionados. Our picks this week feature a couple of beauties from our own Kitchen, as we as some hidden gems. This includes a great beer and wine recommendation for this odd and interesting time of year, as winter slowly releases its grip on us and we all dream of warmer weather.

Supreme Chicken Salad on Herb Wrap

Chicken salad is a long-time customer favorite and when it's done right, it's a true taste experience. Ours is deceptively simple because the flavors are perfectly balanced, a simple chicken salad with tender chunks of juicy chicken and celery, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. Great on anything or nothing at all, though our recommended herb wrap complements the flavors beautifully. A long-time favorite for lunch among our locals and regulars.

Recommended by Allison Kennett in the Consumer Relations Center of our Lebanon store.

WHAT ALLISON SAYS:
"Really fresh. Big enough for two people to share."

Spinach Salad

Colorful, delicious, and full of interesting textures and flavors. Wonderful and hardy enough to be a meal all by itself, and versatile enough to be a great side for a wide variety of dinner dishes. We love that it's not only flavor-packed, but also chock full of nutrients.

Recommended by Kelly Lucas, a Co-op dynamo and Prepared Foods supervisor in our Lebanon store.

Against the Grain
Original Baguette

Our friends at Against the Grain aptly describe the baguette as, "The Swiss Army knife of the bread world." What we love about this one is the versatility—it has a thin, crisp crust and soft, airy texture, making it perfect for everything from a sandwich to a perfectly toasty base for tomato bruschetta. Pro tip! Go minimalistic and serve in all its simple crusty glory just hot out of the oven with a shot of butter or honey butter.

Recommended by Linda Temple, long-time Front End manager in our Hanover store. (Thanks for the serving tip, Linda!)

WHAT LINDA SAYS:
"It's better for you and delicous! I cut in half length - put butter (lightly) and fresh minced garlic on it and broil until goden brown. Yummy! Crunchy outside edges and chewy center."

Liambru Ale Co (Proctor, VT)
Van Wicked NE IPA

We love the creative concoctions from our friends at Liambru (pronounced lee-um-brew), made with great care in small batches. Each beer has its own personality and a story to match. With the snow melting (for now) and the weather getting a little warmer (for now), this is a great time of year to take a break from the stouts and porters of winter and enjoy what might be your first New England IPA of the season.

This beauty delivers, a super-smooth IPA with the citrusy, piney punch of a trifecta of Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops. The brewery's original brew and still one of its most popular.

Oxford Landing
Sauvignon Blanc

What we love about this light and delicious Sauvignon Blanc is that it's a great organic wine to drink alongside chicken and salad as we move into warmer weather in the coming months. The most popular wine from our friends at Oxford Landing, with fresh and zesty aromas of passionfruit, lemongrass, and freshly cut hay. Light-bodied, showing layers of fresh citrus and papaya flavors. Clean acidity and surprisingly complex.

Recommended by Sam Clifton in our Hanover store, one of our go-to wine gurus.
