That would definitely be the question we get asked the most. Well, its an amalgamation and culmination of everything we strive to be. Think back to when you were a child; was there anything better than your favorite homemade sweets? Chances are someone in your family, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, someone, liked to bake and create. Food made with care, not because someone had to, but because they wanted to and that’s pretty sweet. On the other side, we have the roux. Brings to mind fine-dining, French chefs, and cajun food. Pretty fancy, right? No, not really. For those of you that don’t know, a roux is just flour and fat (most often butter) cooked together to flavor and thicken sauces, stews, soups, etc. A roux is a fundamental piece of cooking from scratch; no packets of powder, no artificial thickeners, just getting back to the basics. And yet, the basics are elegant in their simplicity. And that’s what we are: food made with passion, full of creativity, and as always, started with the basics.
