International Cuisine at the Concord Food Co-op

by Jaimie Jusczyk, Marketing Specialist

The Celery Stick Café chefs have been creating some amazing regionally inspired dishes for the Co-op's World Cuisine Tour on the hot bar, Thursday's now through April 16, 2015. If you haven't been in yet during the tour to try the food, you are missing out! Make a lunch date this Thursday, March 26 at the Co-op to enjoy the Western European cuisine on the hot bar. The menu will include pissaladiere, a French inspired pizza topped with onions, anchovies and olives or hachis Parmentier, which is basically the French version of Shepard's pie with a luxurious Lyonnais sauce. There will also be fish pie and scotch eggs, inspired by English picnic style food, so grab a to-go container to enjoy later!

There will also be a free wine tasting this week from 4 pm - 6 pm. One of our favorite wine reps, Derek will come by to sample bottles of wine from Southwestern Europe to complement the hot bar menu. Adults, make sure you stop by to try something new or ask Derek your wine-y questions.

Now, just to let you know what you have either enjoyed or missed, in the previous weeks of the World Cuisine Tour we let our taste buds travel to the Mediterranean, Pacific East, Eastern Europe, Southwestern Europe and Middle East. Some of those highlights included Italian inspired Pork Ossobuco with Gremolata, Japanese Miso and Soy Chilean Sea Bass, Chinese Classic Kung Pao Chicken, Russian Beef Stroganoff, Greek Pulled Pork Gyros, Spanish Paella, Turkish Kofta Balls and so much more! Where else in Concord, NH could you enjoy such a mix of international flavors for only $8.99/lb?

The fun never ends at the Co-op, as well as enjoying exotic flavors for lunch and dinner, Co-op diners have also had the opportunity to collect Co-op passport stamps each week in their free Co-op passports to be entered to win tickets to the Co-op Farm to Table Appreciation Dinner on Friday, August 14 at Canterbury Shaker Village, that's a $250 value!
