It has been another whirlwind of a week! I am still enjoying the “high” of our Thursday with J.M. Hirsch and his new cookbook, High Flavor Low Labor!

If you missed the event, no worries…I have MORE cookbooks on order and J.M. said he would autograph those when they arrive!

Butter’s Fine Food and Wine recently launched a campaign to raise money for the New Hampshire Food Bank.
How?
By selling their Top Secret Recipes!
“We wanted to find a way to give more money to good causes,” says Kristy Stephens Ammann, owner of Butter’s Fine Food and Wine in Concord, NH. “The New Hampshire Food Bank has always been on our list of great causes and we try to do as much as we can to make sure people have enough to eat.”
Butter’s Fine Food and Wine decided that selling “behind the scenes recipes” that Kristy Stephens Ammann uses in her store might be good seller.
“I’ve always been asked for my recipes one way or another or asked to come up with a dinner idea or I’ll post a food idea on Facebook for a friend,but now everyone will have access and there is a great cause behind it,” says Ammann. Ammann’s recipes are inspired from different events that triggered a need for a new recipe.
Ammann says that she’s not going to give away all her secrets, and not all of the recipes at www.ButtersFineFoodRecipes.com will be for charity (some recipes may be from a for-profit cookbook), but there are plans in the works to acquire recipes from other New Hampshire chefs and celebrities to benefit the same cause. At some point, once enough recipes are available, the entire recipe catalog from the chefs and celebrities will be complied and sold in individual cookbooks. Plans are to donate all profits from those cookbooks as well.
The Butter’s Own Top Secret Recipes are available by download at www.ButtersFineFoodRecipes.com. Prices vary, but most are $1.00 or less.
Butter’s Fine Food and Wine just restocked their Butter’s Own Great North Maple Syrup this weekend.
“We sold out in mid-June”, say Kristy Stephens Ammann, owner of Butter’s Fine Food and Wine, “And now that the weather is turning cooler, people are thinking pancakes again!”
The label on the Maple Syrup wine bottles (yes the maple syrup is bottled and sealed in actual wine bottles), which comes in 375 ml and 750ml sizes, reads:
“Butter’s Own Maple Syrup is a pure, U.S. grade A, medium amber maple syrup and it is perhaps some of the most delectable maple syrup in the world.
Our maple Syrup is handcrafted by our Maple Sugar Masters of the Great North Woods. There, the Spring nights are frigid and the days are just warm enough to let the maple nectar flow from the mature Maple trees. These specific North wood’s conditions ensure delivery of only the finest maple sap. In turn, only the finest maple syrup is delivered to your table.”
Ammann says that the Butter’s Own Great North Maple Syrup is available at the store at 70 North Main Street, Downtown Concord, or online at www.Shop.ButtersFineFood.com, and is available through Butter’s Direct (Butter’s Fine Food and Wine’s New Hampshire delivery service), and by traditional shipping methods like UPS or USPS.
Sounds amazing! Can’t wait to get some maple syrup delivered tonight! Pancakes for dinner anyone?!?

Concord, NH -
Now the busy professional who loves cheese, wine, craft beer and cake, CAN eat it too! Planning a party? Need to save a couple of hours of party planning? Now Butter’s Fine Food and Wine has the perfect solution!
After a lengthy planning process, Butter’s Fine Food and Wine (the landmark wine, cheese, craft beer, and gourmet grocery outlet in Downtown Concord, New Hampshire) has finally launched its own delivery service called Butter’s Direct.
According to the chef owner , Kristy Stephens Ammann, Butter’s Fine Food and Wine has been considering this as an alternative to the lack of options that the State of New Hampshire allows for shipping wine and alcohol, but that they also wanted a way to get all their other products out further too.
“This will allow us to get our products to our loyal patrons who live in other parts of the state who can’t make it to Concord everyday,” says Ammann. “We’re all very busy leading our day-to-day lives. Sometimes, even though we want that special case of wine or beer for a party or a platter for a meeting or just some great cheeses and meats to kick up a typical afternoon watching football, it’s often the last thing on the list if you live more than 30 minutes outside of Concord. This allows our customers to get what they want, when they want it, without having to take time out of their week to drive here.”
Butter’s Fine Food and Wine will deliver just about any of their products. According to Ammann, the ordering process for a delivery typically starts online, either at the regular website (www.ButtersFineFood.com) or on at the online store (www.Shop.ButtersFineFood.com) just to get an idea. There you can get a look at the items that are available in the store. Not all the products are available yet online, Amman says, but they are uploading products everyday.
Look for the Butter’s Direct logo or a comment in the products section in the online store to determine eligibility of the product for delivery in New Hampshire. Be prepared to show some I.D. though. Just because it’s delivery doesn’t mean that you don’t need identification.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s in the store or part of Butter’s Direct delivery, if the we’re delivering alcohol as part of your order, we still need to adhere to the liquor laws in the state. That means we’re carding at your door.” says Ammann. “You must be 21 to buy alcohol and you cannot show signs of intoxication if you are going to receive your order. No exceptions.”
Sounds like a great service to have no matter where you live in the state. Can’t wait to order my first case of Cab.

No joke! It’s true. Red River Theatres is taking the cake from Butter’s Fine Food and Wine on October 5th, 2010!
Why?
It’s Red River Theatres 3rd Birthday Bash!
Butter’s Fine Food and Wine has agreed to make 300 cupcakes for the Red River Theatres 3rd Birthday Bash, entitled “Where Great Things Happen in the Dark”. And you are invited too! (See the invite at the bottom of this blog)
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the opportunity!”, said Kristy Stephens Ammann, owner of Butter’s Fine Food and Wine, “It’s a great fit for both of us.”
The variety of cupcakes has yet to be announced.
Ammann’s award-winning cake company, Soiree Cakery, has been melded into the day-to-day operations at Butter’s Fine Food and Wine at 70 North Main Street in Downtown Concord, NH. The cake company won New Hampshire Magazine’s Best of New Hampshire 2009 Award for “Best Old Fashion Gourmet Cakes”.
The recognition continues as more and more people are introduced to the cakes, and the quality carries over into the cupcakes as well.
Here’s what a few people have said:
“We’re from New York and I’d put Kristy’s cupcakes up against any cupcake in New York City” – J. Rubenstein, New York, NY
“They had cupcakes at their birthday celebration – they are special order only I think, but they are the best cupcakes I’ve ever had, better than Georgetown Cupcakes in DC. ” -J.M. Griffin, Concord, NH
“Chocolate-chocolate PB cupcakes were a huge hit!!!! Wicked awesome!!!!! And the boys thought the sandwiches were just the best!” -R.G. Weisburger, Orford, NH
If that’s not impressive enough, Butter’s Fine Food and Wine makes Award Wining Gourmet Sandwiches too (NH Magazine 2010 Winner).
“You definitely make the best lunch in Concord, hands down. No exaggeration, some of the finest sandwiches I’ve ever had. ♥” -R. Eliza, Concord, NH
There aren’t any plans at the moment to bring sandwiches into the Red River Theatres, not yet any way. But, rumor has it that 479 Popcorn, one of Butter’s Fine Food and Wine’s cornerstone snacks, might make its way to the concession stand. And what goes better with an independent film than some gourmet popcorn!
Sponsors of the Birthday Bash include White Birch Brewing and LaBelle Winery (both friends of Butter’s Fine Food and Wine).
See you at the show!
