If we can cook it, you can cook it And we'll travel the world to bring it back home to you.
Last Saturday, we went downtown to Ilili which has the distinction of being the top Lebanese restaurant in New York. That being said, Lebanese restaurants aren’t exactly a dime a dozen here. In fact, in all of New York there are only 10 places serving…
The stalks of Brussels Sprouts made their appearance at the farm stand a couple of weeks ago. Because the weather here has been unusually warm, Brussels Sprouts seemed a little out of season. But with the temperatures falling, it was…
Brussels Sprouts in Winter on the North Fork of Long Island As a boy, I cannot think of a vegetable I detested quite as much at the Brussels Sprout. These nasty little cabbages were about as appealing to me as damp pair of socks. I…
ATTENTION ALL SNACKERS!
HAVE WE GOT A CRACKER FOR YOU!
THEY’RE CALLED CRAIZE FOR A GOOD REASON.
These sweet corn crackers have a Latin soul. The brainchild of Leonardo Cotter of Miami, these roasted corn-crackers are based on Venezuelan Arepas! Wafer-thin, crunchy as all get out they check a lot of boxes: They’re Gluten-free, vegan, and kosher. But most of all they’re exceptionally tasty. The four-year-old company first created its authentic Latin flavors with varieties that included Sweet Corn, Seeded, Guava, Plantain, Coconut and Roasted Corn.
This year, in a burst of pandemic invention, Cotter hit on an entirely new flavor. He has created the “Everything”. Using the brand’s Sweet Corn as a base, Craize combined Everything Bagel seasoning to create a sweet yet savory cracker that’s a perfect upgrade of America’s passion for the Everything Bagel. As Leonardo Cotter says “Everything Craize is as traditional as it is ground-breaking. It’s the evolution of one of America’s classic foods, bagels, mixed with Latin authenticity.” He adds “It’s a healthy cracker that perfectly blends the sweetness of corn with the saltiness of “Everything” seasoning. It’s must more than a bagel alternative but it still pairs amazingly well with the bagel’s natural partners, cream cheese and lox”. At Chewing The Fat, we loved every Craize cracker we tried completely unadorned. Then experimenting with a variety of toppings including goat cheese, salsa, herbed cheese, guacamole – even chocolate topping the coconut variety– these superthin crackers delivered even more flavor. You’ll soon find Craize in supermarkets everywhere. But in the meantime, you can order direct from Craize at https://gocraize.com/ or on Amazon.com.
