In the Shops
November 2006
Crimson Tide
A Middle Eastern staple, sweet-tart pomegranate molasses is divine in vinaigrettes or, better still, as a complex glaze on poultry. 300mL $3.99. Ararat International Fine Foods, 1800 Avenue Rd., 416-782-5722
What a Crock
It's time to eBay those old onion soup bowls. Le Cresuset's new line is both sexy and smart: handles make serving straight from under the broiler a snap. $39.95 a pair. Academy of Culinary Arts, 1703 Bayview Ave., 416-486-1859.
We've Got Wood
Lyptus wood is the latest butcher block craze. Sustainably harvested in Brazil, the red-tinged, hard-as-maple hybrid makes cooks and tree huggers happy. $159. Nella Cucina, 876 Bathurst St., 416-922-9055.
Bon Mozz
It's jetted in from Apulia the second and fourth Friday of each month and lasts just a couple days. But burrata—fresh mozzarella on the outside, curd and butter within—makes any dairy hound raptuous. 250 grams $19.99. Cheese Boutique, 45 Ripley Ave., 416-762-6292.
Staff of Life
St. John's exquisite loaves are available elsewhere in the city, but for the widest selection—from best-selling forestier to Normandy's pain brie—visit the new retail shop. St. John's Bakery, 153 Broadview Ave., 416-850-7413.
