| St. Dalfour, the French company best-known for its sugar-free preserves, has come up with something quite clever: microwavable “ready to eat” mini-meals for people on-the-go. Given all the bad food we eat on the road (or late nights at the office, or at school) because healthy alternatives aren’t available, Gourmet On The Go is a welcome solution (in fact, at least one major airline is selling them to passengers). The best flavors are Couscous, Three Beans With Sweet Corn and Wild Salmon With Vegetables. The 6.2-ounce can is a satisfying portion, and for $3.95 it should be. The elegant can comes with a well-designed spork (a spoon-fork) that makes you feel as if you’re doing better than eating out of a can. The line is all natural and preservative free. Four of the six flavors are vegetarian, and two are gluten free for those on restricted diets. Read more about St. Dalfour Gourmet On The Go. |

 Buy enough to divvy because you won’t want to share. |

We get boxes and boxes of sweet delights sent to us weekly, and many provide great gustatory enjoyment. But a box of Divvies chocolate cupcakes and a tub of vanilla icing provided so much pure glee, we felt no need to add the multicolored nonpareil “sprinkles.” We had no complaints with the cookies and kettle corn either. This beautifully-packaged line wins the trifecta: It looks great, it taste great, and it’s free of some major allergens (eggs, dairy and nuts). Not surprisingly, it was developed by a mom with an allergic kid. We’re happy that people with these allergies now have more delicious delights to divvy up, and we’re still trying to figure out how those cupcakes taste so great with no eggs or butter. Read about all of the treats from Divvies. |

| Every six months or so, San Francisco chocolatier Michael Recchiuti adds a new Bay Area artist to his Artisan Collection, an “edible chocolate gallery” of limited edition chocolates. The artist creates four representative images, and both the chocolatier and his customers have a new way to support the arts! A new collection has just debuted, featuring the work of Michele Carlson, an Oakland-based artist whose ink drawings and collages investigate the intersections of history, memory and popular culture. They’ve been screened onto the surface of Recchiuti’s most popular chocolate, Burnt Caramel. Send some to your favorite art and chocolate connoisseurs. Candied Orange Peel, hand cut and enrobed in dark chocolate, is also available, through the end of the month. |

| Eight pieces, 3.5 ounces, are $18.00 at Recchiuti.com. Previous artists in the Collection include Brian Barneclo, Sherry Olsen, Paul Madonna, Rex Ray, Kelly Tunstall and Beth Weintraub. Pieces from the most recent collection, Liz Saintsing, whose work features eccentric images of birds, insects and other creatures, are still available.
