Clarkson Students Partner with Scoopuccinos, St. Lawrence ...
Freshmen enrolled in Clarkson University's School of Business class in entrepreneurship have learned and applied the concept of "innovative adaptation" in the launch of their new business, Piece of Cake. Three months after their grand opening in Clarkson's Cheel Arena complex, Piece of Cake broke even from the sale of gourmet desserts, specialty coffees, teas and drinks, as well as other delectable sweets. The business is open during the evening hours and saw significant business during hockey games. The company has also developed an on-campus delivery service and delivers gift baskets on campus. Innovative product line; not necessarily, but the fact these students have partnered with local Potsdam businesses, including Scoopuccinos and the new St. Lawrence Chocolates, is a unique approach to the course requirement to launch a student-run business during their first year at Clarkson.
Trick or treat?
Not since Andrea Burgener had Deluxe in Parktown North in 2002 and Dario de Angelli had Yum has a Johannesburg chef played with his food as enthusiastically as Wicus Prinsloo. And though the spectre of overkill lurks, it's usually to interesting and yummy effect. Green Truffle, which used to be Yum, is where Prinsloo, a young chef with high-level local and international experience, is strutting his stuff. His partner is "service ambassador" Yash Jithoo. "Green" encapsulates their bid to be Greenside's newest, freshest and trendiest restaurant, and its leap onto the organic bandwagon; "Truffle" signifies its serious gourmet intentions. .
Making the matzo
On the face of it, matzo brei is a humble dish -- so easy to make that a recipe is hardly needed: Matzo, the dry flatbread of Passover, is broken into pieces and meets briefly with water so it's damp, before being mixed with beaten eggs and poured into a hot frying pan sizzling with butter. Brei, which rhymes with fry, is from the Yiddish word briehn, or soak. And yet, no less august a food authority than Ruth Reichl, editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine, has called matzo brei "one of life's perfect foods." Reichl came to her post at Gourmet after many years as a restaurant critic, including several at the New York Times. The woman knows food.

For aficionados, matzo brei is part-pancake and a kind of cousin to French toast.
Famous bakery rises from the ashes
Five months after a two-alarm fire tore through the famous Montilio's Bakery in West Quincy, destroying everything from the ovens to the counter tops, the city landmark has risen from the ashes. The sweet smell of cupcakes, cookies, and Italian pastries wafts down Adams Street once again. "It's feels good, it looks good, and our customers are happy," said owner George Montilio, 55, who scanned his store, well known for it's gourmet wedding cakes which have been featured nationally in magazines and on television. The family owned shop, established in 1947, also made cakes for the inaugurations of presidents John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush at the bakery's first location in Quincy Center. In October, a fire ripped through its walls and ceilings shutting the store down. Fire officials are still investigating the cause of the blaze.
