Bucks Food Calendar: December 14, 2015

Liberty Hall Pizza

In between buying gifts for family and friends, I find myself looking at things to add to my kitchen. Jams and sweets are a big favorite of mine, and I am endlessly pleased at the selection of local goodies in Bucks County. The stores in the area have lots for the holidays, and in between shopping you can even check out a few fun events (more treats to treat yourself!). 


Stroopwafel

There’s nothing like hot waffles for breakfast. No need to cook them though, if you stop by Max Hansen Carversville GroceryYou can find stroopwafel at this store this holiday season. “Stroopwafel” literally means syrup waffle. It’s made from two thin layers of baked dough with a caramel-like syrup filling inside. It’s popular in the Netherlands, and since it’s available at Carversville Grocery, it makes it an easy treat to pick up this week. The store also has a lot of other local gifts and treats to make your holiday complete. They also have jams, syrups, olive oils, cookbooks and more. Visit this blog post to get some ideas.

Liberty Hall Pizza

Pizza is serious business. And while I would argue that New York has unbeatable pizza, there’s some pretty good stuff in the Delaware River Valley. But who makes the best? On this Tuesday, December 5 there will be a battle of two long-time friends and pizza artisans over who makes the best. Liberty Hall Pizza’s Pizza Wars 1.0 pits Liberty Hall’s Chris Bryan against Peter Lombardi of Lombardi Pizza Companin Martinsville, NJ. The two pizzaiolos will be vying to win a “cheesy” silver chalice. Each has a special pizza ready for the competition and the diners will vote on the best.

Liberty Hall’s co-owner Chris Bryan will make a Marinara Fra Diavolo Pizza with plum tomatoes, basil, oregano, black pepper, garlic, caramelized onions and shaved Asiago cheese topped with arugula and chili infused olive oil and finished with roasted garlic Parmesan butter brushed crust. Peter Lombardi will be preparing The Zoe: Bufala mozzarella, sun-dried cherries, basil, parmesan, finished with aged prosciutto di parma and chili infused honey. The restaurant will offer a special: both pizzas for $25, or customers can order either one for $17. Show time is 5 pm at Liberty Hall Pizza on 243 North Union Street in Lambertville.

Golden Pheasant_Love Your LocalWith everything else you need to do – shopping, cooking, baking, decorating – at this time of year, dinner is the last thing you want to think about. How about treating yourself to a well-priced meal at a local restaurant? So many places have “Locals Nights” during the week, often offering 3-course prix fixe meals at very reasonable prices.
