Under the label Roxanne’s Fine Cuisine, Roxanne Klein, former chef-owner of the defunct Marin County restaurant Roxanne’s, is back with a line of 30 snacks, granolas, desserts, salads, sandwiches, nutmilk cheeze, and desserts. You’ll find them on the grocery shelves and in the refrigerated “grab and go” sections of select Whole Foods Markets and Andronicos.
I was skeptical about how the food would taste, not because I don’t think that raw food can be delicious, but because pre-made food designed to have a shelf life of several weeks usually doesn’t taste good to me. I thought raw food, with its emphasis on freshness, just wouldn’t really work as a grocery store product.
I was wrong. The Garlic Onion Snap Crackers I tried are disconcerting at first because they are toothsome, rather than crisp, but they are also hearty and flavorful with none of the usual chemical tastes of flavored crackers. Paired with Roxanne’s garlicky, lemony, sprouted nut hummus, they have become the snack I can’t stop eating!
