This new culinary trend has spread from Seattle across to New York and down to Miami Beach. Although many homemakers that are in the areas in between these cities haven t seen these upscale markets in their communities yet, they will be coming soon. Today s homemakers are not only concerned with how to feed their families but, they are also concerned with how well they feed their families. Many of these gourmet markets are boasting light-healthy foods. We are going into our fifth season doing this.
Seafood plays a big part in keeping the foods served healthy and value oriented.
With over 800 miles of coastline to fish from seafood is always brought here fresh. A lot of my fresh fish entrees are Asian-inspired but, especially good recipes like my Port, Guava and Opal Basil Marinaded Salmon have become so highly requested that the Miami Herald was asked to get the recipe from me and to publish it in their weekly Food Section. Epicure is competing against many highly regarded local eateries as they vie for the consumers discretional dining dollars. We are vying for the twenty somethings as well as the Baby Boomers. For our Boomers, the prepare-ready to cook foods are the big seller.
