Some tips and trends submitted to River Journal by Holbrook Cottage in Briarcliff Manor. YOUR GRILL GOES GLOBAL
An exciting new food trend for Summer 2013 puts an international spin on American summer favorites: condiments such as ketchup, mustard, rubs, and barbeque sauces with exotic spices from around the world. Spend the day at the beach or on the golf course and still thrill your guests to an amazing meal in no time at all. With a shake, rub, squeeze,or dolop, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and fish are elevated by the flavors of our favorite ethnic cuisines.
Holbrook Cottage is proud to introduce DULCET — a little company from Oregon with a lot of big awards, including several NASFTA Gold Sofi awards. Owned and run by women, this small batch line of all natural condiments and dinner sauces feature the flavors of Morocco and India. Our favorite: Madras Curry Mustard and Peppery Moroccan Ketchup. Particularly delicious on burgers.
Our traditional American favorites: Rubs from Made in Napa, grill sauces from Stonewall Kitchen. Pantry essentials year-round.

DINNERWARE: IT’S NOT YOUR MOTHER’S MELAMINE ANYMORE
Designed and imported from France, and available in several patterns, the place settings and serving ware from Le Cadeaux are always mistaken for porcelain or china. Unlike the knock offs, these pieces are completely dishwasher safe and hold up beautifully.
