Star Kay White Unveils Groundbreaking New Culinary Extract Line Garlic, rosemary, bay, dill, oregano, cilantro, parsley, basil, nutmeg and cardamom. Your spice rack has been changed forever! This year Star Kay White Inc. introduces its com- pletely new, groundbreaking line of all-nat- ural Pure Culinary Extracts to the public. Defeat the lack of flavor in dried herbs, and the expense and fast-wilting nature of fresh herbs. Derived from pure essential oils, these all-natural extracts enable cooks to attain full, fresh flavor with completely even flavor distribution in their dishes. Garlic and rosemary are far less suscepti- ble to burning, and scorched pieces or sprigs will be a problem of the past. Soup and sauce will actually retain the pure flavor of bay and oregano. No longer will cooks have to grate nutmeg or deal with clumping to create ro- bust, flavorful Béchamel. Don't have fresh cilantro on hand? Now cooks can make a guacamole, salad or salsa with the correct cilantro flavor without the hassle, or the ex- cess leaves wilting in the refrigerator. Disap- pointed with flavorless dried basil or parsley? Punch it up with a teaspoon of basil or parsley extract, and finally get the delivery you've always wanted from your cupboard collection. With roots as an extract company, since 1890 Star Kay White Inc. has been manufac- turing pure extracts for the ice cream and fla- voring industries for 124 years. They were the originators of the gourmet classic retail extract line, with the first chocolate, almond, pepper- mint, lemon, lavender, orange and rose ex- tracts available in retail form. As masters of pure gourmet extracts, they have spent years originating this completely revolutionary line of Pure Culinary Extracts to cater towards the home cook, baker and chef. Many of these items are applicable to both cooking and bak- ing (i.e. garlic bread, or rosemary focaccia). Fortunately, simple usage guides are on every bottle, so consumers will have the guidance they need to attain the flavor they seek. Available nowhere else, these are exclu- sively original to Star Kay White.

Kuvings (Cont'd. from p. 1) The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg: Welcome to Peanut Country! It all began in the back of a tiny shop in Colonial Williamsburg, carefully selecting and hand roasting the finest Virginia Peanuts available – plump, golden and gently blis- tered from a unique cooking process. For more than 40 years, The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg has continued to do business the same way. Virginia Peanuts are one of four types of peanuts grown in the U.S. – pri- marily in Virginia and the Carolinas – and they represent only 15 percent of the total U.S. peanut production. While these peanuts are already considered the largest kernel size of all four types, The Peanut Shop only sources the "cream of the crop" for its Hand- cooked Virginia Peanuts, which is the high- est market grade available – Super Extra Large. Less than three percent of all Virginia peanuts meet the strictest standards of this grade, ensuring the finest and largest avail- able. Planted in early spring (and unlike most nut plants), the peanut plant nurtures its nuts (or legumes) below ground. When ready to harvest, the plants are dug up and laid in the sun to cure, the vines are separated, and off they go into the peanut wagons. From har- vest, to roast, to market – there is a legacy of Southern tradition and heritage. The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg signa- ture peanuts are prepared by a dedicated Roastmaster in small batches, using a time- honored recipe. They are handcooked in golden peanut oil with no additives or preser- vatives to alter the natural goodness. The re- sult: plump golden peanuts, with a very slight split and gently blistered from a unique cooking process – its "gold standard" of ex- cellence.
