    DNA! I must participate again! I have been there only once and I’ve been dreaming to go back ever since. So! My favorite product…that’s a very hard one so I’m naming a few, I hope you won’t mind!

    After reading Lesley Chesterman’s article for the gazette I became extremly curious to taste the burrata. I’m also intrigued by the truffle carpaccio and the Truffled Dwarf Peaches.

    Thank you Mrs Macchi,
    Annie

    Really want to win this certificate!!!

    Clearly the Truffled Dwarf Peaches. I did know this product at all before and I love to discover what’s going on in the gastronomy world.

    thanks!

  • Raaachele

    The most interesting to me was the Truffle oil, because I never know when to use it!!!
    :P

  • Adam

    Truffle oil!

  • http://dinnersanddimes.blogspot.com/ Eve Martel

    Woops forgot to say why… Because it helped me understand what it is meant for!

  • Corinne

    The most interesting and intriging entry, I must say, is the chocolate and mozzarella di buffalo mix.
    Because the photos are pretty but mostly because it’s a combo I’ve never seen or heard of, the salad looks refreshing and like it tastes good.

  • http://twitter.com/PaolasEpicure Paola

    Loved learning about your prosciutto tasting adventure (was that on the blog or Twitter???) and like most of the others, learning about truffle oil. Keep up the good work!

  • Stephanie D

    I enjoyed reading your ticket about truffle carpaccio. The reason why : Because I always like to discover something new and that pizza in the picture looked Delish!

  • Christine

    saffron- I absolutely love the stuff and the pics were drool-worthy.

  • Sheyda S

    Ok so there are way too many of the products that interest me but for now I got to give it to burrata because this was one of the products I was completely unaware of. Now I just love it, it has to be the most intriguing cheese I’ve ever had. I cannot wait for my next tasting.

  • mayssam

    it would have to be the burrata since I didn’t know it existed and my life is so much yummier now that I do :)

  • http://www.zina.typepad.com Zina

    I would say the truffle oil… I just love mushrooms of all kinds and I never know what to do this precious stuff!
    Thanks for the opportunity!

  • Caroline

    Hi, the article about how to pick and store prosciutto [http://www.macchiinc.com/blog/tips-and-tricks-on-how-to-pick-store-prosciutto/] was my favourite. I didn’t know prosciutto wasn’t good if its colour was burgundy. Now I know what to check before buying some. Even if I don’t win, thanks for that!

  • Darine Sabanekh

    I will say Truffle Oil… we all knew it was great etc but I never knew how to use and when to use it. Plus some of the recipes where great

  • Nicholas Naddaf

    Bottarga, cause that was your first topic of your blog and it was different a never heard off item

  • Diala Sabanekh

    Truffled Dwarf Peaches….cant say why and how but LOVED the name

  • Diala Sabanekh

    It was the Truffled Dwarf Peaches. First time I heard of these and they intrigue me. I must try it real soon!

    I will invite my friend Kim Vallée to participate.

  • http://athome.kimvallee.com/ At Home with Kim Vallee

    I have to agree with my friend Nathalie, the Truffled Dwarf Peaches captured more my attention since it is totally new to me.

    I invite my friend Corinne Paquette to participate.

  • http://www.cleanevolution.ca Vasilios Karidogiannis

    For sure it’s the Buratta! I so enjoyed eating that cheese last week…it was like meeting a long lost friend who you used to get high with back in high school and laugh endlessly! It made me happy….followed by a small piece of truffle carpaccio….just to mellow me out..like a warm glass of milk before bed!

  • http://www.2capricieux.com Dominique Bérubé

    Annie from 2capricieux.com invited me to participate, it’s my wife, did not have a choice…lol

    Seriously, I’ll have to go with the FREGOLA SARDA SEAFOOD RISOTTO from Cavalli…hope it’s still on the menu, have to go there. NOW. looks amazing!

    I will invite my friend Brian Lipson to participate

  • Laurel

    My favorite entry in your blog was the one on the origins of Saffron. I suppose it’s linked to my fondness for romantic historical stories and a love of flowers. Food invested with meaning and dreams is much tastier! I’m going to invite two of my friends, Jess and Zac to participate in the contest. All the best to everyone!

  • http://gkdietandhealth.blogspot.com Gary Katch

    Prosciutto! As a low-carber and enthusiast of all things porcine and bacony, thanks to your blog, I now know what my Italian destination of choice would be if I ever get to Europe. Parma or bust!

  • http://www.thriftytable.com Laura

    I was salivating over the “Truffled Dwarf Peaches”

    Being a lover of cheese plates, I most often serve them with dried apricots that have been soaked in port overnight, but the Truffled Dwarf Peaches will absolutely have to make an appearance on my next plate!

  • http://www.tablepourdeux.com Thierry Daigneault

    I’d have to say the one on Saffron. I sometimes use it in my cooking, but I’m always trying to learn a bit more since I feel insecure about my use…

  • Fernando I.

    It all sounds so yummy!

  • Dominic Cabana

    Truffle Carpaccio.. It look soooo delicious! Can’t wait to try it…

  • Manon

    Hi, i am curious about BOTTARGA , first time earing about it but plan to try it soon!

    Manon

  • http://www.montrealplus.ca/montreal/venues/restaurant-le-tour-de-ville-fr Ghada

    I will say the Buratta…I never had the chance to try it before and hope I will do very soon as the Buratta on your Blog look so delicious…

  • Ghada

    I will say the Buratta, I never had the chance to try it before but for what I saw on your blog it’s look so delicious…

  • chris young

    Burrata!! i hadn’t had it before.. learned about it from you .. then i saw it on the menu in san francisco on a beautiful pizza… yum.. thanks for the tip.

  • Kim

    This isn’t easy – so many posts to choose from! The saffron items caught my attention most, though. The in-depth historical info helped me to understand and appreciate the product more. As well, the personal note re saffrans bullar was a great touch.

  • sherry kinnear

    The truffled dward peaches are the most interesting – I will be dining with Christopher Haydon.

  • Jess

    Definitely the truffle oil. I have so few ideas of how to use it normally.

  • Sarah

    Buratta!!! i saw that cheese on Jamie Oliver’s show a few years ago and am sooo pleased to have found a source in Montreal!!!

  • http://cheeseandolive.blogspot.com/ Candace Snook

    DEFINITELY DEFINITELY the bottarga, I am SO interested in finding some here in the city, and even if I can’t I’d like to even just try it. I’m also interested in the buratta, I wish there was a store open to the public that sold all of these delightful treats all in one place (hint hint)

  • Cassady Sniatowsky

    It has to be the burrata that i tried at DNA. i’ve have always found it’s delicate nature and nuances to be astounding. it’s so perishable but so unique when treated properly…. i’m inviting my friend Noam Gedalof (nagedalof@gmail.com)…. i’m curious about bottarga more and more… we have some at our resto and are trying to use it….

  • Marie-Julie

    Saffron!

  • http://dianebourque.com Diane Bourque
