Introduction: This blog is about the entrepreneurial adventures of Kei and Aly at Abuquerque's Downtown Growers Market. Good Nosh will be serving up sweet and savory items that feature local, seasonal ingredients prepared with global flavors. This blog will keep readers up to date on the produce at the market, how to use seasonal ingredients, and what we're up to at Good Nosh. We really want to hear what you think about the blog, about our food, about the company (really, it's true).

We're Expanding our Horizons!

It's hard to believe that in three short months, our little company is getting known around town! Many of you have asked us if we have a bakery, restaurant, or store front of some kind. Ummm, no. Many more have asked if we PLAN on opening such a venue in the future. Well, maybe...but not any time soon. Aly and I are still happy testing products each Saturday at the Market to find those items we can put into production in the fall.

But to reach a happy medium, we're pleased to announce that we're taking limited requests for catering. That's right! We've already started filling orders, offering both sweet and savory goods, and continuing our commitment to using as many fresh, local and organic ingredients as possible. For more info, you can email us at kei@goodnoshfoods.com or aly@goodnoshfoods.com.


Peach Tartlet & Cannelé Catering Order


This week at Market, you'll get a chance to taste items that have prooved popular both for market-goers and catering orderers: our Peach Tartlettes (yep, local peaches are still in full swing) and our Death by Chocolate Drops. Aly will be firing a special item for our final week of Italian food: grilled pizzas! She'll use fresh dough - baked right on the grill and topped with local tomatoes, local basil, organic tomato sauce, and fresh mozarella. Omnivores can get this Pizza Margherita with pepperoni.


[Ok. Now let me digress with a little apology to all our loyal customers who came by for our Death-By-Chocolate drops last week. So many of you asked for them, but before the market opened, Aly and I made the decision NOT to serve what we had baked the night before since a combination of a new brand of suger and a wonky oven rendered our creations a little harder than usual. Simply put, they weren't up to the Good Nosh standard. We put them aside, but we were touched that so many of you were willing to buy even our seconds! Now, that's loyalty!!! I've worked out the kinks for this week and promise a truly decadant death this time around...]


Our minds are spinning with product ideas for the fall. We're excited about our new catering menu. And we love the fact that you're helping us get our name out there. Thanks for supporting our little company and for being such loyal customers! We'll see you Saturday...


Cheers!

P.S. As true laborers this summer, Aly and I are taking the Labor Day Weekend off--our first break since we started!--but will be back at Market again on September 6th. See you then!
