Ghalia Gee - Gift Week

12.03.2008

The Bite:
imageAww shucks - don't have anything swell to eat at your holiday party? Try Ghalia Organic Desserts' finger-licking cakes, cookies, and brownies, all made with 100% organic ingredients (no pesticides) like fair-trade Dagoba chocolate and Arrowhead Mills whole wheat pastry flour. They come wrapped up purty too. Our attempt to pass off the crumbly-streusel-topped, local-fruit-packed Pumpkin Apple Cheesecake as homemade failed (our checkered cooking past doth proceed us), but it disappeared fast. There's also holiday samplers, filled with rich sweets like Pomegranate White Chocolate Swirl Truffle brownies. Ghalia caters; teaches in-home baking classes; uses biodegradable and recycled packaging; and accommodates vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, or kosher diets too. Neato.     
Wanna Try: 
Ghalia Organic Desserts (310-351-7870). Pumpkin Apple Cheesecake, $60. Assorted Holiday Brownie, Bar, and Cookie Sampler, $39/18 piece; $68/36 piece.

Cocktail Fact

The 1897 Sears, Roebuck & Co. Catalogue had a recipe for brownies; at the time that meant molasses candy - with no chocolate.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters eat an organic baked good instead of a nonorganic one every day for a year, we'll keep the weight of eight cookie jars in pesticides out of the environment.
