Spring All-Stars

IN SEASON

Nothing says spring like just-bloomed tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and hydrangeas. Find these seasonal stars headlining in the Floral Department— in vase-ready or potted varieties.

Fresh-Cut Tulips From farm to store, our fresh-cut tulips are grown in some of the world’s top tulipproducing countries, including Canada and Holland. Known as the tulip capital of the world, Holland grows more than 2.5 billion bulbs in some 8,000 varieties. Pro tips: Tulips continue to grow after they’re cut.

Trim the stems before placing them in a vase with cold water and watch them grow. They also naturally bend toward sunlight, so be sure to rotate your vase daily to keep the stems upright.

IN SEASON

classics in Did you know that asparagus isn’t always green and cauliflower isn’t always white? Showcasing the colorful counterparts to these classic vegetables is one of our favorite spring cooking trends. While the flavors may be familiar, the presentation is anything but!

Green Asparagus

The familiar green spears have a mildly grassy and sweet flavor. They’re perfect sautéed, steamed, boiled, baked or fried.

Purple Asparagus

Originally developed in Italy, purple asparagus is less fibrous and has a sweeter taste than green and white varieties.

It’s only purple on the outside, though; the inside is the same as a green spear.

White Asparagus

10

TheFreshMarket.com | shop.TheFreshMarket.com

A delicacy in Germany, white asparagus is grown without being exposed to sunlight, so it doesn’t produce chlorophyll. It has a mild, slightly bitter flavor compared to its green sibling.

FROM OUR CHEF’S KITCHEN

Roasted Fioretto Cauliflower with lemon browned butter

Complement the nutty deliciousness of roasted cauliflower with a drizzling of butter, lemon juice and honey and a sprinkling of raisins, pine nuts and capers.

Green Cauliflower

A natural cross between broccoli and cauliflower, this spring favorite is light and crisp, with a sweet and subtly nutty flavor that’s less bitter than its white counterpart.

Purple Cauliflower

The antioxidant anthocyanin (also found in red cabbage and red wine) gives this cauliflower its purple hue. Ranging in shade from lilac to deep violet, it has a mildly sweet, nutty flavor.

Orange Cauliflower

Though it tastes nothing like cheese, this sweet and creamy veggie is often called cheddar cauliflower. Its orange hue comes from extra beta carotene—which also makes it rich in vitamin A.

MEET THE CURATOR:

Brandon Tilley Seafood Category Manager

Drawing on over 18 years of experience in the meat and seafood industry, Brandon is focused on making The Fresh Market a seafood destination for guests.

“Working to find and create the best-tasting and most innovative seafood items is the best part of my job.”

The key, he says, is working directly with current and potential suppliers.

“Going straight to the source helps me curate unique and on-trend selections across the department.”

That strategy also means guests have plenty of the freshest seafood to choose from, with every fish cut to order and delivered to stores the next day. “You’ll find more than 10 varieties of fish at any given time, from sea bass and grouper to swordfish, tuna and halibut. And when wild salmon season begins in late spring, we’re one of the first retailers to bring in Coho, King and Sockeye—with bones removed for easy prep.”

That level of preparation is important, Brandon says, because he also hopes to make seafood less intimidating to cook. “I love partnering with our in-house chef and food development team to create custom grill- and oven-ready items—made in the store—that make it easy for our guests to discover and enjoy new seafood.”

His current favorite: soy sauceand honey-marinated sea bass.

“It’s awesome!”

Plant-Based Revolution

Think you can taste the difference between real meat and plant-based alternatives? These flavorful options crafted from simple ingredients like soybeans and sweet potatoes just might fool you! These days, more and more people are looking to incorporate plant-based foods into their diets, whether for health, environmental or ethical reasons, and The Fresh Market offers lots of ways to try this tasty trend.

Abbot’s Butcher

Made with pea protein and a savory blend of spices, Abbot’s Butcher Ground “Beef,” Slow Roasted Chick’n and Spanish Smoked “Chorizo” make wholesome additions to classic meals. They heat up on the stove in just a few minutes and can be used in place of meat in dishes like spaghetti, enchiladas, burritos, pizzas and more.

Beyond Breakfast Sausage comes in patties or links that can be cooked in a skillet or in the oven.

Jash Mehta and Blair Hardy

Friends and coffee lovers, Jash and Blair came up with the idea for Pop & Bottle after they both moved to the West Coast at the same time. Their goal was to create a coffee drink that met their own very high wellness standards—dairy-free, no refined sugar, organic— and make it available to others who share the same priorities and values. Now, coffee connoisseurs can turn a daily treat into a self-care ritual with these lattes made from simple, good-for-you ingredients like oats, almonds and dates and infused with health boosters like antioxidants, collagen and adaptogens.

Founder and CEO Elizabeth Stein was sitting in a holistic nutrition class when inspiration struck. On a blank sheet of paper, she wrote “Start a natural foods company” and then set out to do just that.

Her goal: to provide healthier, better-tasting snack options using the superfoods she was learning about in school, like quinoa, hemp and chia seeds. Today, her line of granolas—with ancient grains or grain-free—is Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, organic and vegan. Plus, it’s baked in coconut oil and dusted with coconut sugar for salty-sweet perfection.

@geoffreyzakarian

What’s your food philosophy and how has it evolved?

I’m classically trained in French and Italian cuisine and the evolution has been very natural because I never stray from the desire to create the best moments around eating simple, untouched ingredients prepared the right way.

You talk about your Armenian heritage and your fond memories of your mother and aunts cooking. Have you continued to cook some of those dishes, and have you put your own spin on them for your family?

I have cooked with the memory of my aunts and grandmother since the day I started cooking. I tend to use more flavors, components and ingredients from their cooking than I do their actual dishes. It’s more about the influence of the Middle Eastern spices and the movement of the Mediterranean diet—which today is one of the more prevalent food movements.

20

You have described your style of cooking as “Dynamic American.” Can you describe what that means to you and how it’s reflected in your food?

Dynamism means that things are always moving and changing, so I try to reflect that movement while keeping a foot firmly planted in my classical training. I’m 20 percent dynamic and 80 percent classic.

Your advice for developing the perfect pantry includes quite a few items. What are your top 10 essential pantry items that EVERY kitchen should have? Or what is your kitchen never without?

Oils (olive oil, canola oil and coconut oil); vinegars (champagne and red wine); beans and legumes; canned goods like tuna, capers and anchovies; fully stocked condiments; canned tomatoes; grains (rice, oats and quinoa) and pasta.

TheFreshMarket.com | shop.TheFreshMarket.com

You have been a judge for competition shows such as Chopped. When the cameras are off, do you offer any coaching or words of wisdom to competing chefs? What do you find to be a common opportunity for new chefs starting out?

I always try to help chefs that want to advance their career because I have been blessed along the way by others helping me. I tell emerging chefs to work as much as they can for other highly superior chefs. Don’t start off worrying about money—worry about obtaining information, knowledge and technique, and the rest will come.

With books, TV shows, travel, cookbooks and podcasts keeping you busy, how do you find balance?

I don’t work in a 9 to 5 industry; my industry is 24/7. Cooking is my profession but it’s also a hobby and I enjoy what I do. So, I never think of balance as one spot on a scale, I think of

Cuckoo Egg & Olive Tartines (Shown at left)

Carefully lower the eggs into the pot and cook for 12 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then crack and peel under cold running water. Rinse and remove any remaining bits of shell.

how to move in and out of priorities and how to best manage them.

On your podcast “Four Courses,” you said that the signature dish of a restaurant is what customers order. What is your personal signature dish to cook at home that your family absolutely loves?

Breakfast Fried Rice—my favorite version has pineapple and bacon.

A perfect way to give new life to leftover rice from dinner the night before.

The Family That Cooks Together features 85 Zakarian family recipes.

Which ones do you cook the most when you’re at home with family?

All the dishes in this book have a special place in our kitchen because we have been cooking and eating them for so long, but I would say in particular the Braised Short Ribs, Chicken Soup and Strawberry Souffles have gotten a fair amount of play in our house.

What drives your positivity, your energy and your zest for life?

Simply put, I would rather be optimistic than pessimistic.

A pessimist lives a problem twice, once in their mind and once if it plays out. An optimist lives it only once, if it actually happens.

To make the tapenade: In a mini food processor, combine the olives, capers, parsley, garlic and anchovy. Pulse to make a chunky paste. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil to make an almost smooth paste. (You may chop and mix by hand if a mini is not available.) Scrape the tapenade into a bowl and set aside.

To assemble and finish: Place the toasted English muffins on four plates. Spread each half with about 1 tablespoon tapenade. In a small bowl, toss the arugula with the olive oil, then divide among the tartines. Cut each hard-boiled egg into six slices using a slicer or by hand. Lay three slices of egg on each English muffin half. Sprinkle the tartines with salt and serve with a lemon wedge. Refrigerate any remaining tapenade for next time.
