I love Blue Kettle foods. Two ladies - sisters - from St. Albert, would make such good sauces,…read moredressings and dips that their friends started telling them to go into business. Now you can find their amazing homemade products at Sobeys, the Italian Centre, Bon Ton Bakery, Good Earth Groceries, Paddy's Cheese Shop, Sunterra Market and a few other more exclusive shops in town. Their pasta sauces are to die for. They use all fresh ingredients and it tastes gourmet, not like something you just bought on a store shelf. I think it's so wonderful that small local outfits can sell their products around town, giving Edmontonians premium local options. Why funnel our hard-earned dollars to the other side of the border when we can keep it local and support creative entrepreneurs in our own community. Kudos, ladies! Your culinary talents are a joy to my palette.

I stopped in to buy my favourite macaroons from where else, Duchess, when low and behold there is a…read morestore next door. Oh goodness, it is a whole store by Duchess filled with the most amazing, well like the name says: Provisions! There are cookie, cake and pie making equipment. A How-To kit for duplicating their famous macaroons. All the gadgets one would need to bake a masterpiece are in this delicious little side venture. They even have a wall stocked with jams, honeys, caramels, chocolates, nuts, salts, sugars and other high end, super must have ingredients to wow your taste buds (and show off to your dinner guests!) I bought a delightful crystallized honey as well as a jar of salted caramel that is so amazing it could be drizzled on a dust bunny and make it taste divine! I also added to my insane cookie-cutter collection, which I hide from my other half so he doesn't think I'm Kitchen Cuckoo! Oh, wait... I think he's on to me ;) This is definitely a must visit store if you are a culinary wizard, or just like to wing-it! It is a go-to destination to pick up that perfect hostess gift or for your super foodie friend. And even a $4 jar of something, in its beautiful package, will make anyone feel like a Duke or a Duchess!

As I entered this store, at their new location, the first thing that caught my eye were their displays. They are like little pieces of art telling stories about the items they carry. They have a kids section inspiring fun ideas on how to engage kids in the kitchen. There is a wide selection of flours, sugars and other baking gems (some organic and some not). They carry cookware, bakeware, bread making products, books, teas, chocolates, extracts and compounds, preserves, canning supplies, mixers, cake stands, serveware, kitchen linens, aprons and so much more. With Christmas approaching this is an excellent place to find gifts. And if you're hungry, Café Linnea is definitely worth a try next door.

Most items are vegetarian or vegan, but there are some meat products too (or which have ingredients not suitable for vegans/vegetarians). I picked up some hard to find and unusual items, like shitake mushroom chips. I am not sure I would make the drive from Edmonton just to shop here, but if I am in the area again for sure I would stop by.

The clean and spacious interior must be so welcoming on the busy times as well. My shop was fairly early in the day between 9 and 10 AM and not many shoppers yet but still a fair number in the time I was checking all the shelves. I bought my usual weekly organic veg and a meat option for later in the week treat. Cutting back on animal protein lately more and more but just cannot abandon it yet. Highly recommend as the staff are very helpful and pleasant to chat with as well.

Inside the box were mini croissants, chocolate covered croissants, mini bagels, mini waffle, block of cheese, block of brie, fruit, cream cheese, sausages and sliced deli meat. They did include a recyclable wooden knife to cut the cheese with which was appreciated. Everything was delicious, fresh and we were able to get 2 breakfast's out of that one box.

I had…read moreheard about it before I won the prize and though it's a great concept to have fresh and frozen seafood delivered twice a month. The price of the couple package is $94.99 for about 10-12 ounces of 5 different fish. The delivery date depends on the region of the city you live in and mine was delivered on a Saturday afternoon. The process was easy to fill out the form on their website with my contact information. There was about a 4 hour window for the delivery but if you aren't going to be home, I left instructions were the package could be place. The delivery driver was friendly when he came by and gave me a insulated bag with my name on it. Inside each fish fillet was individually packaged well and it was ready to be cooked! I was impressed with how easy it would be to take the fish and prepare it. I also love the fact sheet about each fish stating where it's from and recommendations on best cooking method. There's also a recipe included for one of the fish. My package include New Zealand fish and I've had a few varieties and it's easy to prepare, flaky, and delicious. Better than having salmon and tuna, the usual staples. This is a great concept to get fish conveniently brought to your door. They also have single and family packages with come with less and more weight of the fish. The price isn't inexpensive but when you compare it to going to a restaurant and ordering fish from the menu, it's reasonably priced.

Rob has been championing seafood in Edmonton for a long time and it's nice to see that he has his own brick and mortar store to visit!
