Tom's Pantry

Tom's Pantry for the week of July 12th 2020.

Baking and delivering this week!

Hello Folks. 

I assembled a baking schedule on my website: http://www.tomspantry.ca/.

I will bake this Wednesday July 15th for pick up at my home on Wednesday evening.

I will attend the Parkdale Farmers Market in Ottawa this Thursday July 16th from 9am to 4pm, or until I sell out. The market is now open for pre-orders and for public browsing.

I will deliver to homes on my trip on Thursday to Ottawa. I will travel through Crysler and Limoges while going into town. At the end of the day, I will deliver in Ottawa and points on my way home: Metcalfe, Russell, Embrun, Winchester, Inkerman, Chesterville.

I need your order please by Tuesday evening 8pm in order to prepare enough levain overnight. See the product descriptions and ordering considerations here. And then, view the price list and order online with Local Line

Next week, Saturday July 25th I will be at the Vankleek Hill Farmers Market and I will perform home deliveries on that route and towards Cornwall.

There is a minimum order of two loaves for a home delivery on a scheduled route. 

Take advantage of my organic flours and baking ingredients, also available in the virtual store.

This week's feature is Multi-grain

We have several bread products that are rotated into production for July such as bagels, pita, and blueberry on whole wheat.

This week's feature is multigrain using a combination of flours of wheat, spelt, rye, kamut, and barley. The bread has great texture, is more dense than a white bread, and has a blend of the great flavours of rye and kamut.

Even better, ask for the organic multi-grain bread with dates and organic walnuts. 

Order your organic multi-grain bread for $9 each.

New popularity of sourdough!

With many people stuck at home, the humble loaf of bread has found new appreciation in many kitchens. Fresh bread has gone from just a pantry staple to a pastime during the COVID-19 pandemic, with bakers proudly posting their creations on Instagram and Twitter. This story on CBC news is from Elle Crevits, who first taught me how to make sourdough bread.

Fruit wines in eastern Ontario

I recently found a new friend - Vergers Villeneuve in St-Pascal Baylon, east of Ottawa. Besides the great you-pick fruit options, they make terrific fruit wines. I am a great fan of their pear wine, a delightful refreshment on a hot summer evening.
