The bread behind the iconic New York City Deli sandwich. It typically contains 20-30% rye flour, fermented with sourdough starter, giving it a subtle tang and malty rye notes, while the wheat flour lends a soft crust and tender, even crumb. Amazing stacked with pastrami, corned beef, or smoked whitefish.

The arrival of summer screams for the most classic of all backyard grillable foods – the burger! These buns are quick and easy (25 minutes) to make and keep well in the freezer. Golden brown on the outside, sweet and soft on the inside, these whole grain buns are the perfect base for a classic beef or bean burger, portabella mushroom or grilled chicken breast.
These iconic pizza meets grinder bombs are a staple of the sub world. Fresh-baked Italian rolls, a fantastic tomato sauce plus your featured protein and melted mozzarella is a no brainer!
Once you master the simple and ancient process of nixtamalization, it’s easy to whip up your own tacos, memelas (see recipe below!) sopes, tamales, or pozole. Warning, once you have the real deal, there’s no going back to the industrialized imitations found all over!

Our whole wheat pizza dough is the perfect canvas for pizza and calzones, from traditional favorites like pepperoni and cheese to creative combos like Pizza Mousakka and Duck with Brie and Seasonal Fruit.
Before developing my recipe and process for making bagels at my bakery, I toured the famous bagel houses of New York and Montreal, each with their own unique style. This recipe is akin to the New York style, with a dense, chewy crumb and toothsome crust.
Not only can you make bagels at home; you can make your own lox too! In America, lox is synonymous with smoked salmon, but lox is actually just salt-cured salmon, which is easy to do in your fridge, no fancy equipment required.
Smoked Bluefish is a delicious alternative to cured salmon, and it’s easy to make at home. If you don’t have a smoker don’t worry; smoked salt and your oven make a perfectly good substitute! Tastes great on our ancient grain bagels with capers, onions and cream cheese.
For me, this is true decadence! I rarely deep fry food at home as it is messy and bad for the waistline, but you won’t find this on any menu in new england, so if you want to eat it you’ll have to get out the oil and batter!
