Find delicious gourmet foods locally!

So, I just have to tell you about a delicious dish that I tried last night at Cheese Louise. Timo was working the kitchen and he prepared a traditional South American dish called Ayote Con Dulce which is slow cooked, sweetened squash in cane sugar and cinnamon. Rick was kind enough to offer me a sample when I stopped in last night to pick up gift certificates for family members and mmmmmm, it was so good!

Growing up in the Caribbean, I became accustomed to cooking with cane sugar but Ayote Con Dulce was different from any baked cinnamon squash dish I've ever had. It had just a hint of the scent of cinnamon and the carmelized cane sugar added not only a nice color but also a sweetened flavor that infused the squash.

I've heard from several of you that though you travel the Rt 28 corridor on a regular basis, you aren't aware of Cheese Louise. Well, you've just got to stop by and check this place out! Cheese Louise is a recently launched culinary gem offering delicious prepared foods, tempting gourmet shelf goods and of course a wide variety of specialty cheeses that are sure to delight every foodie. The hummus is made fresh using only the highest quality ingredients. Be sure to ask for a sample of anything that tempts your taste buds.

Rick and Sam are currently featuring my Mild Caribbean Jerk Sauce marinade and Portuguese Repolho Relish as a special this month so give the Mild Jerk Slow Roasted Beef on Ciabatta roll with Portuguese Relish on the side a try. It's delicious, filling and a refreshing alternative to the ordinary usual lunch options.

Cheese Louise is located at 940 Route 28 next to Bistro to Go. Give a call at 845 853 8207 for directions and hours.

Eat local, buy local this holiday season!
