New to Chelsea Market Baskets

Well Dressed Food company was developed out of the love of entertaining and sharing food with others.  Local producers from the Adirondacks have come together to develop a brand of products that showcase the high quality of ingredients and food that are developed in New York State’s North Country.

These products include:  Oatmeal Pancake mix, Maple Syrup, Granola, Apple Butter and Jams.

Words from our staff after a taste test of the Oatmeal Pancake, Apple Butter and Maple Syrup-

“..North Country Oatmeal is a hearty pancake mix.  I love the apple butter because it has the perfect blend of spices that put me right back into my mom’s kitchen, it not overly sweet, and it has a rich mahogany color…I could actually sit at my desk and eat the whole jar…yummmy.” ~Tiffany

“The maple syrup is sweet but not over powering, you can really taste the many tones of maple definitely complements the hardiness of the pancake.”  ~Christina

Harissa Paste

As the Food Network announced last night that Melissa d’Arabian was the winner of the Next Food Network show the audience, I was with had mixed feelings.  However, the one thing that was not mixed was the new found interest in Harissa Paste, due to the sandwich Jeffery Saad made on his pilot.  Well, my friends were lucky- because not only did I know what it was, I knew where you could get buy it!

cmb_2066_7600626At Chelsea Market Baskets we carry Harissa Paste from Bart Delicatessen-  This popular condiment from Northern Africa is very spicy with many layers of subtle flavors, which includes coriander, caraway, and garlic. The heat comes from Piri Piri pepper, which Bart’s directly harvests.  This flavor combination is spectacular on sandwiches, blended into olive oil for bread dip, added on top of grilled meats and fish or used in a marinade.

Harissa Paste is available online or in our store at 75 Ninth Ave, New York, NY 10011
