Dancing Deer Offers Gluten-Free Version of Signature Molasses Cookie In January, Dancing Deer introduced the Gluten-Free Soft Molasses Cookie. This cookie is based on its signature Soft Mo- lasses Cookie which won a sofi award in 1997 and has been a favorite of customers ever since. Both recipes are based on a tra- ditional New England molasses crackle cookie, but has an added twist of a special blend of fresh ground cinnamon and cloves. The new Gluten-Free Soft Molasses Cookie is already receiving rave reviews. According to DealsAmongUs.com, "These say they are gluten free but I am having a hard time believing it. These taste so much like the gluten filled cookies in addition to being chewy and soft.

Making Sauces the Gourmet Way The inspiration for Corine's Cuisine came from the traditions of a family that loves to cook together and loves to share meals to- gether. While living on the Caribbean island of St. Barth, Corine and her husband hosted dinners for a steady stream of friends and family visiting from up north, serving varia- tions on traditional favorites that suit the cli- mate: grilled mahi-mahi, poulet colombo and barbecued marinated pork. Corine developed a small set of home- made sauces that suited these dishes well, both to use in cooking and to serve at the table. The common-sense key to great condi- ments and cooking sauces, Corine discov- ered, is utilizing only the highest quality peppers, vinegars, oils and herbs, as well as matching contrasting ingredients to strike ex- actly the right flavor profile. Soon Corine's secret recipes had a big enough following that every trip up to New York meant filling a suitcase or two with bubble-wrapped jars and bottles of home- made products. Confident that she could scale her recipes up while preserving the original taste, texture and color, Corine teamed up with a test kitchen and manufacturer in Florida for nearly one year of exact- ing R&D to perfect the prod- ucts and make them shelf-stable. Determination paid off in the form of the Corine's Cui- sine flagship line of five sauces, which the company brought to shelves in New York City and Baltimore in 2016. Three additional gourmet sauces were introduced in early 2017, including a sweet-and-spicy sauce that was the most popular request Corine re- ceived from foodies and sauce lovers. Each of these eight unique sauces has its own fans, and Corine's Cuisine has attracted tens of thou- sands of followers on so- cial media, many of whom regularly share their favorite pairings for each sauce. Corine's proudest moment yet came with her Sauce No. 28 winning a 2017 sofi bronze award in the BBQ Sauce cate- gory. Visit Corine's Cuisine at booth #5253.

SunTropics Launches Dairy-Free Coconut Rice Puddings SunTropics has released a new dairy- and gluten-free coconut milk based pudding in four unique flavors: Original, Sea Salt Caramel, Cinnamon and Classic Cocoa. Each small batch of whole coconut milk, Thai rice and freshly shaved coconut is slowly simmered without the use of preser- vatives and poured into single serving cups. "According to recent studies, we see that healthy snacks, convenience foods and 'co- conut everything' are currently on trend in the food market," says SunTropics co- Founder, Sharon Lao. "In response, we de- cided to share one of our long-time family favorites from the islands – and it's just as good in snack sized cups!" With no refrigeration required, these pud- dings stand out as the only dairy-free option among other pudding snack cups. The indi- vidual portions are ready to eat and can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature or heated in the mi- crowave for an ex- perience Lao describes as "fresh from the stove." The Lao family founded SunTropics in 2002 in response to the lack of natural tropical fruit products that originated from real fruit rather than artificial flavors. Coining the motto, "Taste More Fruit," they determined to create and share the true taste of the tropics by maintaining integrity in their ingredients. Today, the com- pany is a leading natural tropical fruit juice and snack company on the West Coast. The SunTrop- ics family is dedicated to fair treatment and to the communities from which its products derive. SunTropics Coconut Rice Puddings can be found through national distributors.
