Too Many Pomegranates?



You may have noticed that pomegranates have made their way into my blog quite a bit lately. Having discovered pomegranate concentrate or molasses I have done a little experiementing. I've also been writing a story on syrups including some recipes using pomegranate syrup for SF Station that hopefully will be published soon.

- Pomegranates:cookbook
Would you be inclined to buy a cookbook devoted to burgers, fondue or toast? I wouldn't. None of those things are all that challenging to make in the first place. A whole book on grilled cheese sandwiches? Gimme a break. Cookbooks on single subjects...

- Summer Syrups
I recently wrote about Torani syrups, but at the Fancy Food Show earlier this year I also discovered syrups from the Sonoma Syrup Company. Less sweet than Torani and made from all natural ingredients, Sonoma Syrups are a real treat not just for drinks...

- All About Pomegranates
My appreciation of certain foods is only enhanced by the symbolism associated with them. As an example, in Italy it's a tradition to eat lentils on new years day. The individual lentils are supposed to represent the coins that will come to you in...
