Last week we spent a fun evening wandering the kiosks at Food Fete, a seasonal foodie event. Each season the mini convention presents new and interesting products to marketing and media professionals. In its 11th year Food Fete has amassed a stellar reputation for being an important part of the foodie social calendar. This year we attended an event filled with organic health conscious products. Wandering around the venue we discovered many great new things from snacks to gourmet sauces Food Fete has it all. A few of our favorites from the event include:
1.
2. Food Should Taste Good- Pinto Bean and Black Bean Chips– The name of the company it straightforward and to the point: Food should absolutely taste good especially when its a treat like chips. The black bean is our absolute favorite, its nutty crunchy and great with quacamole. Or you could just skip te middle man and have he tasty guacamole flavor instead.

5. Muir Glen Fire Roasted Tomatoes- I love making my own pasta sauce and Muir Glen Fire Roasted tomatoes make an excellent fresh tasting sauce. ย You can also use these little gems for salsa and other tomato dishes.
6. Sunset Kumato– We had never seen a brown tomato before Sunset’s Kumato, and now we’re wondering where they have been all our lives! The flavor is fresh and crisp with a great balance of sweet and tart. ย These cute brown wonders will take your caprese salad to the next level.
