Consultant Favourites

Epicure Selections — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:00:01 +0000

When we were putting together the January Catalogue, we thought it would be a special treat for a few of our Consultants to share their favourite products. We loved hearing from them! Here’s what they had to say:

Sandy Schaloske’s Favourite

Eclipse Coated Wok & Glass Lid

“The Wok is a favourite in our home. To save time, I will often brown a roast or chicken in it, throw in potatoes and other vegetables and put the whole thing in the oven. Saves on dishes, too!”

- Sandy Schaloske, Senior Unit Leader, Edmonton, AB

Sylvie Cousineau’s Favourite

Herbed Garlic Sea Salt

“This is the best combination of herbs, garlic and salt. It’s always on my table – I wouldn’t go a meal without it! The garlic adds a nice subtle flavour to your dish.”

- Sylvie Cousineau, Executive Sales Director, Mirabel QC

Sandy Savage’s Favourite

8-cup Multi-Purpose Pot

“The Pot is an essential item in my cupboard! I reach past all my other pots for this one anytime I’m making soup, mac and cheese, rice or pasta, mulled juice, or just when I need a good-sized measuring cup. One of my Hostesses who got her pit for half-price called me a couple of days after receiving it. Her first words: ‘I don’t know how I survived without this pot!’”

- Sandy Savage, Senior Unit Leader, Valley NS

Julia Jenken-Loft’s Favourite

Silicone Mini-Loaf Pans

“These pans are a must-have for the busy cook and baker! My favourite thing to do is freeze leftover soup and individual portions of lasagna, shepherd’s pie and meatloaf. Simply reheat and server!”

- Julia Jenken-Loft, Unit Leader, Arva ON
