We have "coveted" the idea of Tate's cookies since Oprah chose them as "one of her favorite things" twice. And, now most varieties of Tate's cookies are kosher certified OU-D, including the world famous crisp, buttery chocolate chips. It all started when Kathleen King, founder of Tate's Bake Shop, began baking when she was just eleven years old, selling small batches of her crisp, buttery chocolate chip cookies off of a fold-out card table on on her parents' Long Island farmstead.
In 1980, when she was only 21, Kathleen opened her first bake shop. Tate’s Bake Shop has been Voted the Best Bakery in the Hamptons year over year and is a destination for locals and tourists with lines that stretch out the door,. Tate's Bake Shop is, as the New York Times noted, "worth putting miles on the odometer."
Tate's is now available in most supermarkets and online at Target stores.

The KosherEye team has recently tasted some new honeys - and think that they are lovely for Yom Tov. Waxing Kara is a company based on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in Chesterhaven Farm. Each jar of Waxing Kara honey is bottled and packaged by hand in the USA. The honeys are raw unpasteurized, and kosher certified by the Star K.

Mina Moroccan Tomato Sauce - The Flavors of Morocco in a Jar
Yes, there really is a Mina behind this shakshuka sauce. Mina is from Morocco, and has journeyed the world with her family’s recipes, which were passed down through generations. As a young girl, Mina managed the cooking for ten younger siblings, making her mother's treasured recipes her own. Mina’s cooking talent set her on a journey from Morocco to Paris to New York where for years she served her specialties to private clients . Now, the Mina brand is enjoyed globally.
Mina’s recipe uses only all natural ingredients…“tomatoes, roasted peppers, onions, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, cilantro, parsley, and a secret blend of 6 Moroccan spices. Simple, savory, and sizzling with flavor,” Our first taste of Mina’s special sauces was this OU certified shakshuka sauce. What a fabulous dish resulted.

AvoCoco Oil
La Tourangelle has been known over the years to offer exceptional oils. With origins in the Loire Valley of France, La Tourangelle is one of these few remaining oil mills keeping this heritage alive in Saumur, France, and since 2002, in Woodland, California. It is a family-owned company.
Over the years, KosherEye has used La Tourangelle stir-fry oil, wok oil, toasted sesame oil and roasted walnut oil. We enjoy the extra layer of flavor that the infused oils add to our dishes, and the confidence that the oil complements the food.
Now we are fans of one of their newest products AvoCoco oil. We have been working with it for the past two months, and agree with the buzz --. It is an ideal butter substitute for sautéing, frying, searing and baking. We also like it mixed into salad dressings.
AvoCoco is a healthy parve substitute for butter, due to its high level of unsaturated fats. It is a mix of organic coconut oil, avocado oil and organic sunflower oil. For frying (Yes, we do a lot of that in the south) we find that it has a neutral flavor coupled with a high smoke point. Perfect!
La Tourangelle AvoCoco is kosher certified by the Star-K. Visit the La Tourangelle website for recipes and oil info.
