Spring Time in Los Angeles and Pasadena.

 

The best thing about having a vegetable garden is getting to have the "farm to table" experience.  This year we are planting lots and lots of tomatoes.  And this is our secret source for the best plants.

Hello from Provisions!

 

I can't believe it's almost Spring already. The vegetables at the Farmer's Market are so inspiring that it almost makes me want to become a vegetarian.  Almost. 

This has been the busiest New Year in our company's history.  

 

Looking ahead to April looks even busier with the yummy food holidays of Easter and Passover!  We are here to help you with your party plans and menus.

 

After all, WHY SHOULD YOU COOK!

A Passover Menu that will keep you reclining in your chair!


Avi Lazerson explains, "The importance of leaning at the Seder is that since we were slaves in Egypt and now we are free men, we must act in accordance to our new status. Since it was the custom of noble men to eat while reclining on a sofa or on cushions, so today we are obligated to eat as noble men who recline."

 

What is more "noble" than allowing PROVISIONS to cook part or all of your Passover Sedar?
