Linda’s Tips and Travel Notes

As heard on Linda Gassenheimer’s Food News and Views

 

 

I love this festive season and I look forward to something really special on our table when friends come over.  This year my question is what’s special or elegant without breaking the bank?  Here’s surprise suggestions from my radio guest – caviar, smoked salmon, camembert and truffle pate.  He’s Moshe Cohen from Marky’s Caviar and Fine Foods on NE 79^th Street in Miami.
