We’re loving these interesting flavor combinations forecasted to be the top pairings for 2011. Incorporate these into your cocktails, dishes, events & wedding receptions!

Fennel and Peri-Peri sauce- A rush for the senses with counterpoints of cool and fiery.

Pickling Spices & Rice Vinegar- Chef Andre pickled vegetables are a great example of these flavors. Lots of bright layers of tang and spice are combined.

Roasted Curry Powder & Wild Mushrooms- Earthy & rich, with added nourishing benefits.

Caramelized Honey and Adzuki Red Beans- Complex flavors in a natural way. Utilize honey from your local Bee keeper!

Ancho Chili Pepper & Hibiscus- Let the floral notes of the hibiscus play with the heat of the Ancho in your mouth.

Thyme and Stone Fruits- Sweet & sour stone fruits are refreshing and invigorating with the addition of minty Thyme.

Mustard Seed and Vermouth- Retro charm and cozy… classic of a French bistro feel.

Cilantro and Nut Butters- Sweet and savory, ethnically diverse taste that’s hearty and herbaceous.

Herbs de Provence & Popcorn- We’re happy to say that we were on the cutting edge for this one with our truffle oil popcorn, along with a variety of numerous off the wall toppings for our popcorn bars. What fun!

Green Peppercorns & Goat’s Milk- The lively taste of the green peppercorn is a pleasant contrast to the lush and creamy goat’s milk
