Our Cheesemonger, Bev, has created fondue kits that feature a combination of two shredded cheeses: cave-aged Gruyère and Ely’s Washington Crossing cheese, a delicate, aged cheese made locally in Newtown, PA. The kits also include apples and bread cubes from our fresh, crusty baguettes. You’ll just need your own dry white wine to complete the recipe. Bev’s fondue kits serve two and are available for a limited time; call or stop in to order yours. If you are looking to make more of a meal of your fondue, you could also dip cooked meats such as sausage slices or cubed chicken or ham. Roasted or boiled baby potatoes, blanched broccoli and cauliflower florets, and roasted or steamed asparagus spears are also great vehicles for fondue. Perfect for a winter evening.

The finest turkeys are here at Jamie Hollander Gourmet Foods! We get our turkeys from Koch’s Turkey Farm, in Tamaqua, PA, where they put a special emphasis on sustainable and humane practices. Koch’s turkeys are raised without antibiotics and have free range access to the beautiful outdoors. They are allowed to grow naturally, without the artificial help of growth hormones. Koch’s turkeys are fed an all-natural vegetarian diet of locally-grown corn and soybeans, and their farm practices meet the very strict Certified Humane® guidelines. Koch’s attention to the welfare of their turkeys and the sustainable practices of their farm all contribute directly to producing the best possible turkeys for your holiday feast.

At Jamie Hollander’s, we brine the turkeys to bring out their best flavor and juicy tenderness. For our holiday menu, we’re offering Cranberry Stuffed Turkey Breast, with a cranberry and brioche stuffing that’s sure to be a new classic.

Our Executive Chef, Luke Smithson, along with Chris Tavares and David Zuckerman of Earl’s Bucks County, prepared a delightful meal featuring local foods at the annual Heritage Conservancy’s Farm to Table dinner last year. Participants enjoyed a delicious meal composed entirely of food grown and produced locally. The dinner was held under a tent at Lindsay Farm in Warminster, one of Bucks County’s many beautiful farms preserved by the Conservancy. Besides the great food and scenery, there was a silent auction featuring unique Bucks County experiences, including cooking lessons and private farm tours. See the Heritage Conservancy’s site for more information about this annual fundraiser, which helps support the Conservancy’s work preserving open space in our area.We are so proud to be part of this worthy endeavor.

Our Jail Island Salmon embodies the same ideals that drive our food philosophy. The family company that supplies us with Jail Island Salmon has lived in the southern New Brunswick, Canada, area for over seven generations. They know they need to protect the area where they raise their salmon, and that they need to grow healthy fish. Achieving this level of sustainability requires a respect for both the fish and the ocean that comes through in the quality of their salmon, which we are happy to pass along to you.
Jail Island Salmon are genuine Atlantics raised in a natural, pristine environment for the full, natural two-year maturation period without growth hormones. Jail Island Salmon are allowed to swim freely in their natural environment without overcrowding and are never given preventative antibiotics.
We prepare our Jail Island Salmon with a sweet chile glaze, an apricot glaze, or encrusted with delicious herbs. We also prepare it smoked, in-house in our own smoker. We know you’ll be able to taste the difference in both the quality of the fish and the excellent preparation.

Do I have to hire staff to work the party? We provide staffing for every position required for an event. Staffing recommendations depend on the type and style of the event, the menu items, the duration of the event and the event’s flow. We cater many events that require staff members, and have a full complement of professional staff to fill each required position. However, we also offer take home catering services that do not require staffing. We can help you decide which type of service best suits your event.
