Hi Everyone!
Today I have Product Review #1 of some products from a cute local place called "The Artisan Bake Shoppe". A husband-and-wife team of Markus and Ursula Jaeger, both Master Bakers from Germany, Their Shop is located in North Vancouver but also ship their products out to lots of stores throughout the Lower Mainland like... at specialty markets and fine grocers, including Whole Foods, Choices Markets, and Thrifty Foods. What made me attracted to this bakery, is that all Artisan breads are made from scratch which means no premixes, with no added oil or sugar, and are 100% free of preservatives, artificial flavors and colors, and commercial dough improvers. Great right?!! Also they use only certified organic grains and flour from Anita’s Organic Mill in the Fraser Valley, where the slow, low-temperature stone-mill method preserves the grain's nutrients.
They have a WONDERFUL wide selection of nutritious breads, also if you have sensitivities to wheat, gluten or yeast or special diets, Artisan offers breads and baked goods made with stone-milled whole grains, wheat alternatives, natural rye starter and no added yeast, as well as vegan products.
Also listen to this.. "Customers looking for egg- and dairy-free products will be pleased to know that all of our artisan breads are made without the addition of any eggs or dairy products – this is part of our commitment to making pure and natural breads."... Being I don't eat eggs or animal ingredients, I love to find bakery goods that are yummy and healthy with great ingredients.. and that's what The Artisan Bake Shoppe Ltd. does. (Also I really like their Sunshine Yellow packaging, makes it very fresh and fun looking!) So check out the gorgeous photo's above of all the products and then you can even read the ingredient lists below and a little about the Breads & Goodies I tired..
The little * above/after some ingredients means that it's a Certified Organic ingredient.
They use 100% Certified Organic Flout and Grains for all their products.

Very Bright and flavorful, the almond truly shines in these yummy chocolate cookies.

These taste like Christmas, the taste really just makes me think it's christmas time! (My favorite time of the year) really popping addictive & flavorful cookies, the pecans make it sooo good. A hint of Cinnamon makes them perfectly spiced, lightly sugared and not strong.
