Dairy Queens

April 5, 2013 | Baking, Desserts, Food, Ice Cream, Uncategorized | Comments Off


In honor of Spring finally here, we’ve got a double whammy of free tastings this Saturday with three amazing ladies.

First, from 11am-1, Jody from Kriemhild Dairy will be bringing their sun-drenched grass fed butter. Bright yellow from the grass’s natural beta carotene, and one of the highest butterfat contents we’ve ever seen (85%!), this butter is absolutely delicious shmeared on any of our local breads or fresh seasonal vegetables.  Come chat with the owner about the nutritional benefits this butter packs, and what it’s like to be a farmer in upstate NY!

After you’ve spent the day foraging around Brooklyn, come back at 3pm and cool off with a taste of Phin and Phebes  ice cream, made right here in our fair boro. Made with milk from the Quality Dairy Farms coop in NY state, these ladies offer some super creative flavors such as Banana Whama and Vietnamese Iced Coffee. And if you check out their site, you’ll discover some of their experimental ice cream float ideas with some of our favorite adult sodas. Yum!

 

FREE COOKIES!

January 17, 2013 | Baking, Coffee Bar | Comments Off

Shira Berk, of TriBeCa’s esteemed and estimable Goodie Girl Bakery, will be at Provisions today at 4pm to sample from her arsenal of her jaw-droppingly delicious cookies. There’s no understanding someone who denies a free cookie, gluten-free or not, but be advised that hers are especially good; crispy, meticulously flavored (this number has flecks of cereal in its dough) and perfect for dipping into a cup of coffee.

Security personnel will be at the ready to catch customers fainting from their deliciousness. See you then!

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Cupcakes at Annex!

January 5, 2013 | Baking | Comments Off

 

In our rigorously scientific, humble, 101% unbiased opinions, it’s hard to zero in on just one pastry from the Annex kitchen.

But on the recommendation of a gluten-free friend (plus the head pastry chef), we’d like you to consider stopping by this exceptionally brisk weekend for one of our delicious Pumpkin Cupcakes. For a place traditionally steeped in butter, flour and sugar, gluten-free baking was a dicey proposition at first, but your correspondent watched agog as a new batch was made with organic pumpkin puree, a dash of cinnamon, almond flour and topped with roasted pistachio nuts. Of course the two in the photo are lonely – all the rest were gone by 4PM.

We know how much our customers love the rich baked goods in our pastry case – with varieties of cookies from Baked, Butter+Love and Ovenly alongside individual Nunu’s chocolates and cupcakes made at our own Greene Grape Annex across the street, who wouldn’t find something to snack on? Still, there are many of us who’d prefer something straight from their own oven. If this is you, look no further than our dairy case as we now feature Lisa & Amy’s Cookie Dough! Made right here in Brooklyn with the finest of natural ingredients and no preservatives, it tastes homemade because it IS homemade. Don’t believe us? Come through Provisions this Saturday 6/23 from 2-5pm to meet the creators of Lisa & Amy’s as they sample their decadent dough in flavors like “Hunka Hunka Chocolate Chunk” and ”Shawangunkie Chunkie.” They make ‘em, you bake ‘em, everybody wins!
