Food for Thought: Where to splurge and save at the grocery store Comment DailyTidings.com Writer Posted Mar. 17, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Mar. 17, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News TIP OF THE WEEK Every time you walk into a grocery store, you are hit with a barrage of options: fresh, frozen, canned, organic. Even with your shopping list in hand, the choices can be overwhelming. Knowing when you should splurge and where you can save can make all the difference in your grocery store shopping. Here are some shopping tips from chef Odette Smith-Ransome of the International Culinary School at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and chef Nathan Lane of the International Culinary School at the Art Institutes International in Kansas City. Meat: “The one thing that you really want to not scrimp on is your meat,” says Smith-Ransome. Up to 15 percent of the contents of cheaper and frozen meats can actually be water or stock. When it comes to chicken, Smith-Ransome adds that the higher priced chicken is probably a younger chicken. “When they harvest the younger chickens, they’re more tender with a better flavor to them.” Produce: Lane encourages you to try farmers markets for produce. Not only are you supporting local farmers, but you are also getting things that are fresh and in season, and he finds it to be comparable to a grocery store or a bit cheaper on most items. The items that may cost a bit more are definitely worth it. Dairy: “I don’t find much difference between brands of milk and cream,” says Lane. It’s worth the extra money to buy cheese that is really cheese. Smith-Ransome explains that you don’t want the product to say “cheese food” or “cheese product,” indicators that these are processed products with added ingredients to look like cheese. Lane adds that it is worth the money to buy the real imported cheese. For instance skip the “Spanish-Style Manchego” cheese and opt for the real Manchego cheese from Spain. Canned goods: “A lot of times you can find some happy discoveries when you look at canned goods,” says Smith-Ransome. Brand names aren’t always going to be the best for your purpose. The sweetness, amount of salt and taste from one brand to another can be very different. It all comes down to personal preference. Once you decide on a brand of canned good you like, Lane suggests buying fruits and vegetables that are canned whole. — Brandpoint EASY RECIPE: Tart Cherry & Mango Smoothie Recipe courtesy of Dara Michalski, CookinCanuck.com.

WORD TO THE WISE Farigoule: Farigoule is the French word for both wild Provençal thyme and the traditional liqueur that is made from adding it to Eau de Vie de Marc. Flowering farigoule is harvested in early summer. It has a bluish hue and pale pink flowers that are known as la fleur du thym, an ingredient that tastes like lavender and lemon-infused thyme, and is used in many local dishes. — Cookthink THE DISH ON… ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ by Gesine Bullock-Prado In today’s allergy-prone and health-obsessed world, there are times when the refined sugar, eggs, wheat, or butter in our favorite treats just won’t cut it. “Let Them Eat Cake” includes 80-plus classic recipes in all their extravagant glory, as well as the secrets to making three alternative versions of each one: healthy, gluten-free, and vegan.
