If you’ve been a regular visitor of The CPB Gallery you know that I live in the NJ and recently took a road trip to Michigan and Illinois. This being the case, most of my cafe reviews revolve around the NY / NJ area but lately I’ve been blabbering about some of the many treats […]

Not the greatest shot, but that’s Zingerman’s Delicatessen in the background, the cafe is in the foreground and in between is an outdoor seating area for patrons to chow down.
The second Taste Tester mentioned going to Michigan for vacation, the first thing that popped into my head was finally getting the chance to visit Zingerman’s […]

This photo of a crazy looking churro and the tube it came in was found on flickr. It’s called the “Mississippi” and it costs a mighty $4. It’s a peanut butter filled churro covered with chocolate and peanuts. The photographer calls the tubes “wasteful” and while I appreciate good package design, I have to agree… […]

This is one of the few photos from the Fancy Food Show that actually came out clear. I’m a fan of Dale and Thomas’s products and not just because they’re from my state (NJ - represent!). They make some really fun, creative products, at least a couple of which contain both chocolate and peanut butter. […]

How have I never mentioned Feed Your Soul on this site before?
Before attending the Fancy Food Show, I took a look through the long list of exhibitors and made notes of the booths I definitely wanted to see. I thought my list was pretty thorough, but was still surprised to see certain companies as […]

Before we get on with the post, incase you’re confused - yes, the title reads “4-Piece” but the box only has 3 truffles in it. I admit it… I have no self control and couldn’t wait until after the photos were taken to dig in. Could you? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Marie Belle was one […]

Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World by Lisa “Hungry Girl” Lillien has some pretty fantastic looking recipes in it. With a small apartment and a full bookshelf, I often toil about purchasing new cookbooks. Why clutter up my apartment when there’s a plethora of new recipes constantly being […]

WHOA.
Last week, I wrote a post about this crazy looking caramel apple made by Mrs. Prindable’s. Since writing the post, I was lucky enough to get my hands on one.
And when I say I was lucky, I mean it.
Unfortunately I did not get to take a photo of the inside of the apple, which is […]

Apples are healthy… right?
This one might not be since it’s coated in dark and milk chocolate, peanut butter, caramel and almonds. It’s 1.5 pounds and serves 8-10 people. They have a link on their site that displays the actual size of this freakishly large apple. But if you’re not in the mood to share, they […]

Solomon’s is a lovely bakeshop that opened up for business in January 2003 by Adam and Jason Tenenbaum. All of their cookie, brownie and bar recipes are from the kitchen of their granny, Frieda Solomon. They even have a fun timeline on their site which documents the journey all the way from Frieda’s childhood to […]
