It was the spring of 1970.   I was pregnant with my third child and had just moved into a young, buzzing community where I met a neighbor who enjoyed cooking as much as I did.  Without knowing it, Sable & Rosenfeld was percolating.  

 

I began writing restaurant reviews for our local paper and during one of my interviews met my future partner, Carol Rosenfeld.  Our first branded product was Russian mustard and was an instant success because Esquire Magazine featured it in their Christmas centerfold as the gift to give to men that year.  Subsequently, Neiman Marcus came knocking and our first real production unfolded.  

 

Conquering food shows in New York and San Francisco were next on our agenda.  In order to achieve this we rented commercial kitchens; we worked from home and we hired everyone on our block in addition to our friends to cook, chop and bake.  

 

The creation of Sable & Rosenfeld's Tipsy Olives, Tipsy Onions and Tipsy Cherries, three of the most innovative cocktail garnishes of the 1980's, quickly took over the party scene, as martinis, manhattans and gimlets were back in fashion thereby strengthening the Sable & Rosenfeld brand.  Our mission today, and since our beginning, is to provide high quality, zestfully delicious and easy to use condiments for everyday living.
