Warm Your Day with DLM Homemade Soups
“Feed me, I pray thee, with that
same red pottage; for I am faint” –Genesis
When was the last time you were faint with
hunger and satisfied it with a warm bowl of “pottage”
from Dorothy Lane Market? Was it a Tandoori Turkey & Rice,
Mom’s Chicken Noodle, or hearty Potato Bacon from the
Deli? A soothing bowl of clear-brothed French Onion Soup topped
with our Bakery’s croutons? Or was it a Fisherman’s
Stew or Tomato Basil Shrimp Bisque from the Seafood Department?
Even though you carry them out in a paper cup, you would be
hard-pressed to find an equal to our homemade soups. The reasons
why are made clear when you walk through any of our store
kitchens. There you see great ingredients, correct methods,
and people who are passionate about good food. What it means
to you is a quick, nutritious, and flavorful meal that you
can look forward to any day of the week. Maybe like me, you
eat them often when you want a quick, good lunch. I just polished
off a bowl of a clear-brothed Cioppino, overflowing with tasty
fish and hand-cut veggies, along with an Asiago Cheese Bagel
from our Bakery. We’re spoiled.
You could say that we at DLM are fanatical about using good
ingredients in our food, yet we don’t have to go outside
our “box” to get them. That’s because we
use the same exceptional ingredients you buy in our store.
Yesterday I walked through the kitchen in Washington Square,
and there was Andreas cleaning and peeling a huge mound of
ripe tomatoes-on-the-vine he had gleaned from our Produce
Department. He was making Tomato Bisque. Nearby a large vat
of beef bones was slowly boiling to make stock. The bones,
Andreas told me, are from the same DLM Natural Beef from Coleman
that we sell in the Meat Department—naturally raised
and free of added hormones and antibiotics. We also incorporate
fresh herbs, flavorful cheeses, sea salt, fresh cream, and
quality high-fat butter, depending on the soup. That’s
not to mention our exclusive meats, including DLM Air-Chilled,
Free-Range Chicken; DLM Uncured Bacon; as well as DLM Natural
Beef. Could we buy cheap chicken to make our ingredient cost
lower? Yes. Use MSG and industrial salt rather than sea salt?
Easily. Save money with canned soup stocks and frozen vegetables?
Sure. But we take no such shortcuts, and you can taste the
difference quality ingredients make. Even the croutons we
put out for you are made from DLM Artisan Baguettes, toasted
with garlic and other herbs and Vera Jane’s Extra-Virgin
Olive Oil from Tuscany.
Master Chef Auguste Escoffier, who published his massive
treatise on cooking, Guide Culinaire, in 1903, is widely given
credit for codifying and developing classic French cuisine.
In his opening comments, he asserts, “Indeed, stock
is everything in cooking…Without it, nothing can be
done.” I believe that Monsieur Escoffier would approve
of how we are making soup stocks from scratch, using the painstaking
traditional methods. Remember those DLM Beef bones Andreas
was boiling? To develop the deepest flavor of the stock, we
boil the bones a full day and night. Here are a few other
examples of how we use correct methods: When we make our Onion
Soup, we sauté the onions in real butter before adding
them to the consommé, thereby respecting the classical
recipe. We hand-inspect, clean, and chop our vegetables fresh.
We hand-pull our poultry to give the soup better texture and
flavor. And we taste every batch for proper seasoning.
Ingredients are vital. Methods are important. Yet producing
great food, be it a perfectly baked baguette, a handsomely
trimmed Coleman Ribeye, or a flavorful bowl of our soup, would
never happen without people who are passionate about food.
Take Andreas for example. A native of Cyprus, he started cooking
at age 15 in London, where he gained a basic knowledge of
classical cooking along with learning English. More recently
Andreas worked at several French restaurants in Chicago before
joining us at DLM. He has a hand in the development of our
soup recipes and works out of the kitchen at Washington Square.
Andreas’ soups are a labor of love, and you can taste
it. Ditto for the soups that Dave makes at Springboro and
Mira makes at Oakwood.
I regularly hear compliments about our great soups (sold
in the Deli and Seafood Departments) from both repeat and
new customers. While everyone talks about their flavor, don’t
forget that these soups are also a very healthy way to eat,
and could help you to fend off some of the corpulence that
may have crept onto the waistline over the past few months.
Come in today, and let’s have a hot bowl of soup together. 
- Hot Deli Soups small–$2.99;
large–$3.49

| Olive Oil at Its Peak
Right Now!
Is olive oil a regular part of your diet? If it is, you likely
already know how good it is for you: extra-virgin olive oil
is brimming with monounsaturated fats and polyphenols (powerful
antioxidants). And you know how its flavor can enhance so
many other foods. If you’re like me, nary a day goes
by without olive oil passing your palate somehow. So why bring
up the subject now? In the northern hemispheres, olives are
usually harvested and pressed anytime from October to January.
Unlike most wines, most olive oils are at their peak when
pressed. The bottles from the pressings of a few months ago
are just now arriving here. The flavors are more intense,
and these new oils will brighten most any winter meal. The
ones we’ve tasted so far are scrumptious! Look for these
and other recently harvested oils at DLM this month, including
our own winter 2004 Vera Jane’s Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
from Tuscany.
Tibvrtini Olio Novello Early Winter Harvest
We’re always excited to get in this “novello”
every December. It hails from the Roman countryside, and is
the yield of very old trees under the expert care of the Lolli
family. The oil reflects this character with an herbaceous,
peppery flavor. It’s also unfiltered, adding to its
flavor and character. Great for classic bruschetta…simply
rub a thick toasted slice of DLM Farmhouse Bread with a clove
of garlic, sprinkle sea salt, drizzle generously with Tibvrtini.
$23.99 save $2.00
Cappezana Early Winter Harvest
Another annual favorite of ours, this one is from farther
north, in Tuscany. This year’s harvest is buttery and
smooth, a bit more delicate than past years, with a little
peppery kick. Enjoy this sophisticated oil drizzled over seafood
and steamed veggies of all kinds. $23.99 save $2.00
Olio Verde by Gianfranco Becchina — Early Winter
Harvest
Its simple name, “green oil,” belies one of the
most complex and flavorful oils we’ve ever tasted. This
unfiltered oil from Sicily is big and bold, with fruity and
grassy flavors that will add tons of flavor to any dish you
drizzle it on. Turn upside down a couple of times before using
to mix in the unfiltered sediment. Try a teaspoon in a bowl
of soup, drizzle on red meats, or just toss with fresh greens
and a little sea salt. Meraviglioso! $23.99 save $2.00

| January Wines
With the holidays past, most of us are working on our New
Year’s Resolutions, and it seems that usually entails
after-holiday diets and re-commitments to a healthy lifestyle.
Wine is one of the healthiest beverages in the world. Besides
its wonderful benefits to the heart muscle, wine is that natural
beverage most people these days seem to be searching for…low-carb!
Dry wine is very low-carb; the average glass of wine has 80
calories and 3 grams of carbohydrates. The USDA lists values
of 0.8g to 1.8g, which are quite low. The following are three
great dry wines, and two are certified organic to boot!
Frey 2003 Chardonnay
Grown in the Redwood Valley of Mendocino, this white wine
is dry and toasty, with a lot of pear and apple fruit to it.
Certified organic by the California Certified Organic Farmers
and the USDA, you will find it quite tasty! $12.99
Frey Natural Red Table Wine
This non-vintage red wine is quite velvety, with lots of red
berry and cherry fruit and a touch of oak in the finish. A
blend of grapes, it is dry, but not overly tannic. $8.99
Todd Norman 2002 Merlot
If you have tried this DLM exclusive wine recently, you know
why we are fans of it. This Napa Valley Merlot has gobs of
bright cherry/berry fruit with hints of chocolate, spice,
and oak, with a velvety, well-polished finish. A great everyday
dinner wine! 750ml $13.99

| Fennel is Your Friend
Remember the scene in “Young Frankenstein” where
Harold the blind man (Gene Hackman) reassures the monster
(Peter Boyle) “Fire is good, fire is our friend”?
Hackman then goes on to set the unsuspecting Boyle’s
finger on fire, mistaking it for a cigar. The monster jumps
out of his seat, knocks over some furniture, and heads out
the door, as Harold pleads, “Wait! Where are you going?
I was going to make espresso.”
You may not have the same fears as Frankenstein’s creature,
but many of us do feel a little trepidation with unknown foods
from the Produce department, such as those greens you see
under the mister: Swiss chard, Brussels sprouts, beet tops,
fennel and so on. We know we should eat them, that they are
nutritional powerhouses, full of vitamins, phytonutrients,
fiber—things supremely good for us. Yet we’ve
never been properly introduced to all these greens, and figure
they’re only for people who know how to cook.
But don’t let these unfamiliar vegetables intimidate
you. While they may indeed be used by chefs in fancy-schmancy
recipes, they are also very easy to prepare and enjoy in simple
ways. Take fennel for example. Pictured at left, it’s
a member of the carrot/parsley family and has celery-like
stalks, with a bulb at the bottom and greenery at the top.
Fresh fennel, also known as anise, has a refreshing flavor
akin to black licorice, and can add a little jump to all kinds
of dishes. For example, finely chop the green flower part
and add it to mayonnaise and butter sauces, rub it on meats,
or sprinkle it in spaghetti sauce to impart color and flavor.
The stalk/bulb part of the plant is excellent with fish, especially
red snapper, trout, or sea bass. Just roast the cleaned whole
fish or filets for about 20 minutes on a bed of sliced fennel
after sprinkling fish and fennel alike with sea salt, fresh
ground pepper, extra-virgin olive oil, and a squeeze of fresh
lemon. For softer fennel, pre-roast the fennel and oil together
for 15 minutes (for an exact recipe, go to www.dorothylane.com).
Serve with a crispy DLM baguette and a bottle of chilled Sancerre.
Slices of fennel are also excellent tossed with apples and
a creamy vinaigrette.
Those are just a couple of ways to enjoy fennel. You can
easily find dozens more recipes, say on the Web, but maybe
you don’t want to bother. Is there an even easier way
to eat fennel? What about all the other mysterious veggies
on the “green rack?” Is there one just fool-proof
method you could use to prepare any one of them? Can you really
enjoy eating these oft misunderstood and underappreciated
veggies?
Here it is, then… the super simple, not-lighting-your-finger-on-fire
method. All you need is a good sea salt (try Maldon Sea Salt
from England for this), extra- virgin olive oil (such as our
Vera Jane’s from Tuscany) and a steamer, and you can
make any mystery veggie your new favorite food. Sea salt is
a great flavor amplifier and tastes better than the industrial
stuff. Extra-virgin olive oil adds flavor, mouthfeel, and
healthy lipids to the equation. So what do you do? Pick out
one of the vegetables mentioned above, clean it thoroughly,
and sprinkle a half teaspoon of sea salt per pound of vegetable,
then put in the steamer. If you don’t have a steamer,
put about an inch of water in a pot, get it boiling, and add
ingredients. Steam the veggie and salt for a few minutes,
long enough to give the salt a chance to dissolve and until
the vegetable is done to your liking. Remove, drizzle generously
with oil, and serve. For an added twist, sprinkle blue or
goat cheese crumbles, or grate some Parmigiano Reggiano. And
yes, this simple method of steaming with sea salt and drizzling
oil works just as well with better known vegetables such as
broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, etc. Try it out on finicky
family and friends, and I guarantee they won’t run out
on you. They’ll be eating something healthy—and
tasty. They may even stay for espresso. 
- Vera Jane’s Extra-Virgin Olive Oil 500 ml $10.99
save $1.00
- Maldon Sea Salt $4.29 save 46¢
- Fresh Fennel $2.59 lb save 40¢ lb

| Why DLM is the Best
Source for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
An Interview with Produce Director José
Manzano
What are the health benefits of eating fresh fruits
and vegetables?
Besides tasting great, eating fruits and vegetables is a great
way to reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke,
and other illnesses. They are high in vitamins, nutrients,
minerals, and fiber. Plus they are easy and quick to prepare
on the road and right at home.
What are you recommending right now as the best new
“thing” in produce?
In our Produce Departments, we carry the largest selection
of certified organic fruits and vegetables in the area. Organics
is the fastest-growing category in our business. Organic farmers
use a variety of earth-friendly methods to grow healthful
crops without relying on chemical pesticides or synthetic
fertilizers. We work with local farmers that grow certified
organic produce to add that great homegrown flavor to our
department.
What if I don’t have the time or don’t
want to prepare vegetables…how can I still eat healthfully?
Some vegetable don’t need any time to prepare. In our
department you can get items like carrot sticks, celery sticks,
broccoli or cauliflower florets, “grab-n-go” fruit,
etc. Our Salad Bar has a great variety of ready-to-eat items.
What are some to the best-tasting fruits right now?
California seedless navel oranges are very good, as well as
Spanish clementines. We carry premium sizes of clementines
with higher levels of sweetness. We are waiting for other
varieties of citrus to become available.
How do you ensure quality for customers who shop
at DLM?
We work closely with our supplier to be sure we only carry
products from reputable companies that meet quality, sanitation,
and health standards consistent with those of Dorothy Lane
Market.
How did you get started in the food business, and
how long have you been involved with Produce at Dorothy Lane
Market?
I started working here in 1962 as a bag boy. I have worked
in various departments through the years. I must say my love
and passion is in the Produce Department. I have been involved
with produce for over 26 years now, going back to the ‘70s
and ‘80s when I used to go to the produce market in
Cincinnati to buy the produce as it was being unloaded from
California, Florida, and other places.

| Digestion: A Key to Wellness
I heard on the radio the other day that studies show that
the average American gains 5 to 7 pounds between Thanksgiving
and New Year’s. Whew! That’s a lot of food! But
you and I both know that it doesn’t take a scientific
study to tell us we overeat during the holidays. Our stomachs
spell that out loud and clear. Stomach aches, gas, bloating,
heartburn, and constipation, you say? It may feel more like
an intestinal apocalypse!
Digestive complaints are common, and not just during the holidays.
Over-the-counter digestive aids are flying off the shelves
and prescriptions for acid blockers have more than tripled
over the last few years. Sure, we get temporary relief from
these products, but if we don’t address the cause of
the upset, it becomes a chronic problem. Because optimal digestion
is crucial to disease prevention, it may be a good idea to
review how it works.
The digestive system provides the body with the nutrients
necessary to sustain the life of the cell. Its function, of
course, is to break down food into small molecules that can
cross plasma membranes, absorb these nutrient molecules, and
eliminate nondigestible wastes. Digestion begins in the mouth,
with salivary glands producing digestive enzymes. (Your mother
was right when she told you to chew your food slowly and thoroughly!)
The stomach prepares the food for the small intestine by producing
more enzymes and hydrochloric acid, which breaks down the
connective tissue of meat and activates gastric secretions.
In the small intestine, enzyme reactions stimulate the functions
of the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder, which contribute
to the breakdown and utilization of sugars and fats. Nutrients
are absorbed through the intestinal wall, and undigested material
is transported to the large intestine to prepare for excretion.
Our digestive systems are extremely sensitive and there are
numerous factors that can cause interference. Eating processed
and refined foods, drinking carbonated beverages, consuming
excessive amounts of coffee, eating too fast, and stress are
probably the most common causes of digestive issues. So we
reach for the Tums or Prilosec, hoping to shut off the mechanism
that’s causing the disturbance. The problem with that
approach is that we’re interrupting a natural, automatic
process.
So, let’s take a look at how we can actually promote
adequate digestion. Eating small, more frequent meals can
minimize the digestive load. Eating foods in their whole,
natural form, particularly fruits, vegetables, and grains,
insures that we’re getting enzymes and fiber that aid
digestion and elimination. Slow down, as digestion works more
efficiently when we’re relaxed. Natural digestive aids
can also be helpful. Enzyme supplements support our own enzyme
production. The amino acid l-glutamine promotes tissue healing
for an irritated digestive tract. Probiotics provide beneficial
bacteria for waste elimination, and betaine hydrochloride
supports healthy acid production (Many folks who experience
chronic reflux or heartburn may actually be under-producing
stomach acids rather than over-producing. For a simple “test”,
squeeze half of a lemon into a half cup of water and sip slowly
for about five minutes. If you feel better, you probably need
more acid).
To learn more about digestive issues and their solutions,
please join
us as we welcome Dr. Decker Weiss on Thursday, January
13th from 7-9 p.m. at our Springboro location. Dr. Weiss is
a Naturopathic physician who practices at the Arizona Heart
Hospital. He travels internationally, training physicians
in safer ways to use fewer prescriptions and give more vitality
to their patients with natural medicines. Dr. Weiss holds
positions on several scientific and research boards and is
the first naturopathic physician to receive credentials as
a fellow of the American Association of Cardiovascular and
Pulmonary Rehabilitation.
The cost is $10.00 and each participant will receive a gift
bag with a coupon to the Healthy Living department. Your stomach
will thank you!

Roosters’ Famous Fire Crackers
Pepper-hot, crisp, crunchy, cheesy crackers
that you can’t stop eating - perfect party food for
the Super Bowl or a tailgate snack. Normally, you keep temperatures
low when working with cheese so that it doesn’t separate,
but in this case, the separation of the cheese makes the dish
outstanding. Originally developed at Roosters, a gourmet take-out,
cookware shop, and cooking school in Greensboro, North Carolina,
food scientist and best-selling cookbook author Shirley Corriher
shared this recipe with us.
- 1 sleeve Keebler’s Zesta Fat-Free Saltines
- 1 teaspoon Pueblo Rub or seasoning of choice
- Hot pepper flakes
- 10-oz log Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar, grated
Arrange a rack in the center and preheat oven to 475°F.
Spray a 10 x 15 jelly-roll pan (not shiny) with nonstick cooking
spray, and arrange crackers (about 40) in rows so that crackers
are touching each other. One sleeve fits almost perfectly
in this size pan.
Sprinkle seasoning over crackers, then sprinkle with as many
pepper flakes as you dare. About 5 flakes to a cracker is
good. Finally, top evenly with grated cheese.
Bake for 1 minute only. Turn the oven off. Leave in the oven
overnight. The hot oven melts and browns the cheese, producing
an even coating of crisp brown cheese. The fat from the cheese
soaks into the crackers and puffs them slightly. Leaving them
in the oven dries them out well so that they are super crunchy.
Break apart and eat or store. They keep well for several weeks
sealed in an airtight tin. Makes 40 crackers
Note: We’ve found that
the Cracker Barrel cheese gives the best results for this
recipe.

Maytag Blue Cheese Pistachio Cheesecake
This rich, flavorful, savory cheesecake
from Pastry Chef George Geary is a hearty crowd-pleaser –
perfect for your Super Bowl get-togethers.
- 8 oz unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions, divided
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided
- 1 lb Maytag blue cheese, crumbled, divided
- 1 cup toasted and chopped unsalted pistachios, divided
- 1/4 cup minced shallots, divided
- 1/4 cup Madeira wine
- 1/2 cup toasted and chopped pistachios for garnish
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
Line the bottom of an 8 or 9 x 3 cheesecake pan with parchment
paper.
In the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal
blade, blend the butter, cream cheese, ½ lb of the
blue cheese, shallots, Madeira, and pepper. Pulse until smooth.
Set aside. In the bottom of a lined cheesecake pan, place
half of the remaining blue cheese, half the green onions,
half the parsley, and half the pistachios. Top with half of
the butter/cheese mixture, then layer with remaining blue
cheese, green onions, parsley, and pistachios. Finish with
the last layer of the butter-cheese mixture. Cover with plastic
wrap and press gently to compact the layers. Chill for at
least two hours or overnight prior to molding.
To un-mold, place a large plate over the top of the cheesecake
and invert. Take the sides of the pan off, then the bottom.
Peel the parchment paper off the cheesecake. Pack the sides
with chopped pistachio nuts for garnish.
Tip: This cheesecake can be refrigerated in the pan for up
to 2 weeks before serving. The blue cheese that is not creamed
will crumble more uniformly if it is cold. The portion to
be creamed should be at room temperature. Parsley must be
very dry to chop finely. Makes 10 to 12 servings
