PRODUCER PROFILE

Welcome to And welcome to winter 2016. We’ve filled the issue with fantastic food and drink ideas to provide inspiration for those winter menus and beverage lists. Check out the colourful, flavoursome options on the following pages. They’re a great reminder that, despite the season, there is still a great range of products available at this time of year, ensuring your customers keep coming out, and keep coming back for more.

THE GILMOURS TEAM

Brooklyn Lager As our own myriad craft brewers will attest, setting up a brewing operation from scratch and finding a spot in a market dominated by the big players, is no easy task. Garrett Oliver, a legendary brewer and Steve Hindly, an unlikely fit as a war correspondent, combined forces and launched the Brooklyn Brewery in 1988.

N

ow a USD$50m a year business, they send their fine brews from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to 25 US States, and 20 countries across the globe, making them the biggest exporter of craft beer in the US. We are lucky to be one of those countries and, here at Gilmours, we’ve added Brooklyn lager to our already extensive range of great beers. It’s hip and happening, with a big following including the happy hipster crowd and those who know a thing or two about a good brew. And it’s certainly a good brew. Here’s how the Brooklyn boys describe their flagship beer, the one that got it all going nearly 30 years ago: “Amber-gold in colour and displaying a firm malt centre supported by a refreshing bitterness and floral hop aroma. Caramel malts show in the finish. A wonderfully flavourful beer, smooth, refreshing, and very versatile with food.” B R O O K LY N L AG E R 5082258 Brooklyn Lager 355ml Can 5087605 Brooklyn Lager 355ml Bottle 5085278 Brooklyn Lager 473ml Can

Love Me Tender Gilmours are delighted to now be ranging the beautiful, high quality beef from premium producer New Zealand Angus Pure. With a process that leaves nothing to chance, and is totally focused on the best possible growing environment, this is a fantastic addition to our quality meat range.

W

e like that the company refers to farmers as “the guardians of the cattle.” There’s some serious nurturing going on here! To deliver the best possible meat product the animals need the best possible growing environment, and the specially selected farmers/guardians ensure Angus Pure cattle have exactly that. These calm, quiet beasts roam vast areas of pasture, maturing over time and eating some of the finest grasses possible in a relaxed and sustainable environment. Traceability is critical to the process also, and all suppliers operate comprehensive identification programmes within a totally transparent Angus Pure system. What does this mean on the plate? Beef that is: • Rich in nutrients • Threaded with fine marbling • Fully yet delicately flavoured

• Low in fat • Exquisitely tender

There is a range of different cuts available, so you can flex your creative muscle and deliver some wonderful winter menu options. The key, of course, is with a product where such efforts have gone in to making it the best it can possibly be, you don’t need to do an awful lot to it to ensure its natural flavours and textures shine on the plate. As someone once said, you don’t need to put Go-Fast stripes on an Aston Martin! To encourage customer awareness, Angus Pure have been working hard in the market to raise the profile of the product, meaning all you need to do is create some great dishes around the various cuts, and watch it fly out the door. Uniquely flavoured, rigorously raised, premium beef. A guaranteed success.

Legendary!

It’s Hip To Be Square! Words like “legendary” and “iconic” are bandied about a bit too freely these days, we reckon. But when it comes to Denheath’s custard square, it is definitely both legendary and iconic. An iconic legend even! And now you can get it from us!

T

his delightful dessert – and now some equally delicious extensions to the range – originate from the perfectly named Pleasant Point in South Canterbury. For over a quarter of a century these little squares of joy have been satisfying the masses. Once you had to visit Pleasant Point – and tour buses soon had to add the destination to their itinerary – to get a magic morsel, but they are now more widely available, including from us!

The Finest Cut – 2016 –

Current owners Lisa & Donald Templeton have taken the business to staggering new heights, while still retaining the square the country, and now the world, has grown to know and love. Lisa once worked at legendary Denheath House, her mother had bought the business in 1996, so you can be assured that authenticity and the legendary quality are well preserved.

Iconic! Out of a purpose-built factory in Timaru, they are producing the original custard square, and a few brothers and sisters for the little guy so we have a family of fab treats. Perfectly produced and packaged to ensure they arrive fresh as a daisy, these are a must-have with a great back story. Get in amongst them! D E N H E AT H 1344330 Original Custard Squares Premium 10 Pack 6x6cm 5088209 Original Custard Squares Premium 20 Pack 6x6cm 1344331 Orginal Custard Square Petite 21 Pack 4x4cm 5087392 Assorted Gourmet Custard Slices 12 Pack 3x6x6cm 5087390 Petite Assorted Desserts 21 Pack 4x4cm

We’ve just finished another series of trips to Melbourne for our Finest Cut initiative and everyone reckons that this year was even better than 2014! Education, inspiration and amazing visits to some of the hottest spots in Melbourne were all on the menu, so to speak, and over 200 Gilmours customers made the most of a remarkable experience. As you can see!

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? Through The Finest Cut programme, we encourage participating customers to help grow their businesses with us. Those who grow within the parameters of the initiative get to take a trip to Australasia’s culinary capital, to gain information, inspiration and innovation for them to bring home to their own businesses.

Do Nut Worry... These new donuts from Original Foods are just so simple and so clever! They’re baked fresh, then frozen, so all you have to do is thaw, (re)fry and serve with a dusting of cinnamon sugar or a dollop of fresh cream. No waste, no mess, and they’re dangerously delicious.

BREAKFAST MENU

GILMOURS 2016

Mix it Up! Why are smoothies taking over the world? For the consumer, they’re a simple, interesting and ever-changing way of getting a whole bunch of different nutrients into their system in one hit. For your café or restaurant, they’re a colourful way of kick-starting some creative culinary processes and, cannily, a chance to keep moving through your fresh produce.

S

o they’re good for everyone, right? And let’s be clear, the health angle is the critical one here. An authentic menu of uber-healthy smoothies suits the breakfast crowd, the post-gym tribe, and the, ‘I want something quick and fun but I’m not sure what’ brigade.

You get to use up your fruit, keep your produce pumping. Customers get to easily up their daily fruit intake. • GET CREATIVE! You can introduce different fruits to your usual menu, like pomegranates, pineapples, mangoes, and keep it interesting for your regulars. • THE HEALTH BENEFITS are well documented, especially if you head into the areas of the detox or immunity-boosting smoothie. • BY USING WHAT’S IN SEASON, you keep it fresh and current. So, pulverise that produce! And buy into the demands of the new breed of breakfaster. 1027527 Naturalea Yoghurt Plain Unsweetened 1L 5090548 Uncle Tobys Ice Blends Banana 245g 12 Pack 5090550 Nestlé Sjora Ice Blends Berry 245g 12 Pack 5090549 Nestlé Sjora Ice Blends Mango 245g 12 Pack 5080173 Barkers Fruit Smoothie Base Carrot, Orange & Ginger 1.1kg 5092392 Barkers Fruit Smoothie Base Tropical Fruits 1.15kg 1091974 Shott Fruit Concentrate Feijoa 1.5L 1091975 Shott Fruit Concentrate Mango 1.5L 1010067 Gilmours Frozen Blueberries 1kg 1010066 Gilmours Frozen Boysenberries 1kg 1047946 Fruzio Frozen Diced Mango 1kg

Capitalising on Change We’ve been through a period of exciting change over the past year at Gilmours. We thought we’d take the opportunity to give you a brief overview of what we’ve achieved and what it means for your business.

T

he last Toops store transitioned to the Gilmours brand in May, bringing all our stores under the one roof, with them all working under the owneroperator model. That was Toops Ngauranga, which is now Gilmours Wellington, helmed by the enthusiastic and service-driven Matt Humphrey.

There are a number of advantages in converting the store to the Gilmours brand:

Spice up your eggs! Poached eggs a bit flat? Omelettes looking tired? Spice up your eggs, and lift your breakfast game! TOTALLY HERBACEOUS – thyme’s great with scrambled eggs, but rosemary, oregano, tarragon and chives are all perfect pairs. POUR IT ON – Sriracha makes mild eggs crazily spicy, pesto adds a rich, herbal note, get hot and hip with Korean kimchi or sweetly spicy with hot chilli jam. GET DECADENT – add smoked salmon, crab meat, crème fraîche and even caviar!

• • •

we’re now able to offer on-line ordering for delivered orders to all our service customers we have a refreshed delivery fleet so we can ensure that you get your order when you expect it an owner managing and operating the business is fully invested in ensuring his customer base is well looked after

READY. SET.

Gilmours! “We want every customer across the North Island to trust that when they choose to partner with us, they will be delivered a local, yet consistent offer”

Matt’s energy and service-driven approach have delivered real personality and efficiency into our outlet in the capital; his enthusiasm is truly infectious! That service ethic in Wellington is the latest to show the customer commitment levels we aim to maintain throughout the stores. A recent change of ownership at our Hamilton store will see a similar reinvigoration. Dayne Riddell will bring a renewed passion to providing the best possible service to our existing – and potential – customers in the region. In a tangible reflection of that, we will see growth in the fresh food departments and investment in the delivery fleet, similar to that which has been undertaken in the transitioned stores. As Gilmours banner manager James Cunnold expresses it: “We now have one brand of Gilmours in the North Island. This all about offering our customer consistency.” Streamlining and improving process and service are key planks of our objectives going forward. To facilitate this commitment to improvement we are investing in new trucks, updating infrastructure, buildings and technology solutions. This all reflects our continued and full commitment to serving the food service industry.

WINTER WINE

Lamb Hindshanks There are certain “must-have” seasonal items, either universally adored or so loved by your own customers that you’d face a full scale riot if you were to drop them from your menu. Shanks are such a thing, and these beautiful hind shanks from Pure South are a fleshier, tastier advance on the standard lamb shank.

This little piggy...

T

he company can trace its origins back to a group of like-minded farmers, driven by a quality aesthetic, who got together in 1948. That organisation became a co-op in 1980, and is the foundation of a thriving, premium operation today. Their meat is sustainable, grass-fed and rigorously monitored, the final product of such high quality it is exported to 65 countries around the world.

Robert Mondavi Wines

We’ve managed to keep some for ourselves (!) and can now offer it to you. Meatier than the cut traditionally used for shanks, when slow cooked the meat turns so tender you’ll be setting a spoon, not a knife, on your dining room tables. Flavoursome, but perfectly able to absorb those wonderful slow cook additions, such as stocks, sauces, herbs and wine. Offer up a firm favourite with a quality and flavour upgrade: you can’t go wrong.

NAPA VALLEY

Making your Sides Tops Don’t look down on those winter vegetable options! The humble potato, parsnip, carrot and kumara just need a bit of imagination to bring them to life alongside your staple menu offerings. Use herbs liberally, oil deliciously and sauces, spices and seasonings judiciously. Make the most of the sides and take some pressure off the main event – and if you’re really good, your vegetables can become the main event itself. Now you’re talking. 104572 Agria Potatoes 10kg 1045733 Jumbo Brown Onions 20kg 1045844 White Button Mushroom Market Mix 3kg 1045729 Red Kumara 10kg

Here’s a quick-smart selection of great drinking, well-priced local options that fit the bill perfectly for the cooler nights ahead. From long-established legends such as Pask & Brookfields, through to more recent and tongue in cheek labels such as the Mistress, this food-friendly quartet share two things: quality and affordability.

R

obert Mondavi, located in the world-renowned Napa Valley in California, has a reputation built on 50 years of outstanding winemaking and a corresponding international reputation. We’ve managed to secure good stocks from two key Mondavi ranges.

The Napa wines are sourced from superb company sites throughout the Valley, and are absolute world-class wines across the varieties. The Private Selection wines finally deliver Californian wines at competitive prices, meaning you can drop them through your list as authentic alternatives to the local and Australian offerings. These are wine of power and class, not dissimilar to Australian and New Zealand styles, yet different enough to really augment your list. Better yet, grab a handful and run a US wine promo – it is election year after all. They might just trump everything.

To the Max The Max in question was Mr Schubert, the original winemaker at Penfolds and this range – their first in over a decade – commemorates his spirit of innovation and enthusiasm. Aimed at those who want something approachable, with that typical Penfolds sophistication, they are smart, drinkable styles that like all things Penfolds will race out the door. 5091562 Penfolds Max’s Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

(CON) FUSION? Fusion, which defined the 1990s as much as Nirvana, was no culinary heaven, however, and is still a dirty word in the mouth of most chefs and plenty of the dining public. What’s emerging now is something very similar, it just doesn’t have the handle. “Modern” cooking, “hybrid menus”, call it what you will, it involves “a global mash up”, where flavour is more important than geography. i.e. if it works, it can’t be wrong. From a good squirt of soy in a Bolognese (try it, it’s a treat) to Sriracha on your burger & fries instead of ketchup, it’s a mixed up shook up world out there. You might not be ready for foie gras lollipops, but you could try kimchi on your coleslaw. And remember, crazy won’t compel customers to branch out, but if you use existing ingredients and produce and execute them in a different way – Asian/European, Traditional/Modern, US/Korean (the Korean taco is still all over menus across the States) – you might just make a bunch of new friends who become loyal followers.

Stretch them, but don’t break them, as the saying goes...

Playing Chicken Highly regarded food consultants Baum & Whiteman made the fried chicken sandwich the Sandwich of the Year for 2016. No longer just southern fried, although that’s still popular with the lunchtime crowd, this too, is being “ethnicised”. Serve with chilligarlic-lime sauce instead of mayo, or spicy/ smoky BBQ sauce or the ubiquitous Sriracha. Try adding some chilli fire then cool it off with blue cheese. And use meaty, flavoursome – and affordable – thighs. Tasty and good for the bottom line. Serve with a craft beer.

It’s a winner!

VEGETABLES  Not just “heritage” or proving provenance, more about their position in the scheme of things. Have a dish or two where the anchor protein takes a back seat and the fresh produce is allowed to shine

PASTA  Consumption is down across the globe, especially, crazily, in Italy. Down but not out. Keep your pasta dishes simple, the ingredients top notch and the execution stunning to look at, there’s still a place at the table. Also, experiment by mixing in vegetable ribbons with your traditional pasta shapes…

BUZZING FOR 2016  If you believe the net… paella, restaurants with the name “shack” in them, a total war on food waste, adding seaweed to popcorn, Nashville Hot Chicken (it’s mind-and-palate blowing), and, “root to stalk” cooking. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
