Vintage Taste:
The New Cookbook From Salem Baking Companyreviewed by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady  Cloves from Madagascar, Jamaican allspice, Indonesian cinnamon and nutmeg, Caribbean key limes, Spanish clementines and Floridian Valencia oranges are just a few of the ingredients that create the distinct, delicious, and memorable flavors of Salem Baking Company’s Moravian Cookies. Each of the recipes in the first cookbook from Salem Baking re-imagines Moravian Cookies as ingredients. In some recipes, the cookies star as the signature flavor; in others, they act as a subtle complement or a finishing touch.
Traditional Moravian Cookies Act as Ingredients in Classic, Re-invented Recipes To provide inspired recipes that showcase the versatility of this new ingredient, Salem Baking enlisted one of the brightest, most creative chefs in our part of the country. Jared Lee is a chef at Noble’s Grille in Winston-Salem, NC, one of the finest restaurants in the Southeast (where Salem Baking is located). Lee specializes in the combination of ingredients that produce flavors ranging from the sublime to the intense. A North Carolina native, Lee has had a lifelong immersion in the tradition of Moravian Cookies. He has created a wide range of recipes and organized them based on being relatively simple to prepare, perfect for any evening, to those you may reserve for weekends and special occasions. This is the way the Cookie Crumbles With more than 100 featured recipes, food lovers will find something for every palate, including dishes such as Roasted Butternut Squash Bisque with Crème Fraiche and Moravian Spice Cookies, Prosciutto Wrapped Figs with Moravian Spice Cookies and Chevre Stuffing, Herb Roasted Chicken with Chestnut and Moravian Spice Cookie Stuffing, Moravian Key Lime Cookie Crusted Grouper with Gemstone Potatoes Confit, Roasted Asparagus and Lemon Caper Butter Sauce, White Chocolate Mousse and Moravian Lemon Cookie Trifle, Moravian Spice Cookie Crumb Cake, and many other decadent and memorable recipes. The perfect gift for the Cookie Monsters in your Life For gifting, Salem Baking Company has created special decorative gift sets that include the cookbook packaged alongside a tube of Moravian Cookies or NEW Moravian Cookie Crumbles, which are available in a variety of flavors and perfect for cooking and baking. Wine Pairings No meal would be quite perfect without the perfect wine. For special tips and wine pairing recommendations designed to enhance the flavors in every exquisite bite of each dish, the company enlisted world-renowned sommelier, Christopher Sawyer. A Sonoma, CA-based wine expert, Sawyer is a well-known wine critic, journalist and sommelier who travels the world in search of the very best wines. The Vintage Taste Cookbook
