In this installment of our Travel Fantasies series, we let our minds wander away from the realities we are all facing. We’ve all been cooped up in our homes for quite some time now, watching as spring and summer plans get cancelled as the world struggles in the face of a global pandemic. So we want to indulge a little bit, and asked some listeners to do the same. For more on some of the topics we cover in the episode, see: Jardins de Quatre-Vents: https://cepas.qc.ca/jardins-quatre-vents/ Flour Bakery's famous egg & cheese sandwich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ7DHE3MpOo David Lebovitz's socca recipe: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/socca-enfin/ Online card games: https://www.trickstercards.com
This week’s episode focuses on how two food companies are evolving to meet the needs of modern consumers. In our first interview, we spoke with Alden Blease and Emma Frelinghuysen, the co-founder and CEO, respectively, of REDD Bar. Founded in 2014, REDD is a brand of plant-based protein bars infused with vegan prebiotics, probiotics and adaptogens. Although REDD cultivated a loyal following and distribution at several major retail chains, last year the company introduced a significant rebrand and reformulation of the bars, which was announced alongside $2.2 million in new funding. Blease and Frelinghuysen spoke about the reasons for and execution of REDD’s pivot, how evolving consumer trends impacted the changes and lessons from the rollout. Later in the episode, we sat down with Arnold Coombs, the director of sales and marketing for top-selling organic maple syrup brand Coombs Family Farms. A seventh generation maple farmer, Coombs founded the brand, which is steeped in tradition and history. As part of our conversation, Coombs discussed how the company has built consumer loyalty through education about the product’s health benefits and use as an ingredient, along with developing an innovative package. Show notes: 0:40: ‘Lavender Is The New Grape.’ -- The episode’s hosts sipped on nourishing soup, cold-brewed tea and New Orleans-style coffee, bantered about a new beverage made with olive leaves, discussed the launch of BevNET’s new eBook about building brand awareness and spoke about why some entrepreneurs hire CEOs to run their businesses. 18:00: Alden Blease, Founder; Emma Frelinghuysen, CEO, R.E.D.D. Bar -- BevNET CMO Mike Schneider spoke with Blease and Frelinghuysen at the 2020 Winter Fancy Food Show, where Blease discussed the inspiration for and early development of R.E.D.D. Bar, which was originally called Rawgasm, why he brought on a CEO to run day-to-day operations and why the rebrand had been in development in 2018. Frelinghuysen discussed her background in CPG, why she was drawn to the role of R.E.D.D. Bar CEO and why she initially focused on formalizing the brand’s core values. Later, Blease explained why he believes the brand is now a “better, stronger version of itself,” why plant-based is “the number one message” the company is now conveying and how honest communication with consumers was key to the rebrand. 37:00: Arnold Coombs, Director of Sales/Marketing, Coombs Family Farms -- Coombs sat down with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif and discussed his family’s history in the maple syrup business, why he compares syrup production to wine making and the challenges in marketing a commodity product. He also explained why he envisions the maple syrup set resembling that of cooking oil, why the company’s private label products are the same quality as its branded ones and how the streamable maple syrup bottle was designed.

Maple Oat Scones Minimally adapted from Joanna Chang’s Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston’s Flour Bakery + Cafe Ingredients 1 ½ cups (210 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour 1 ¼ cups (125 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant or quick cooking) 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon kosher salt ½ cup (50 grams) pecan halves, toasted and chopped (to toast, 350 degrees in oven on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes) OPTIONAL ½ cup dried cranberries, or currants, or raisins, or dried cherries, or whatever dried fruit you like! ½ cup (1 stick, 114 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into 8-10 pieces ½ cup (80 grams) cold heavy cream ½ cup (160 grams) maple syrup 1 cold egg Maple glaze 1 cup (140 grams) confectioners’ sugar 3 tablespoons maple syrup Position the rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 350°F. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a handheld mixer), mix together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pecans, and cranberries on low speed for 10-15 seconds, or until combined. Scatter the butter over the top and beat on low speed for about 30 seconds, or until the butter is somewhat broken down and grape-size pieces are still visible. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, maple syrup, and egg until thoroughly mixed. On low speed, pour the cream mixture into the flour-butter mixture and beat for 20-30 seconds, or just until the dough comes together. It will be fairly wet. Remove the bowl form the mixer stand. With a rubber spatula, scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure that all the dry ingredients are mixed into the dough. Using a 1/3-cup dry-measuring cup, drop mounded scoops of the dough onto a baking sheet, forming 8 scones and spacing them 2-3 inches apart. At this point, the unbaked scones can be frozen, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 2 weeks. Proceed as directed, baking directly from the freezer and adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the cones are golden brown on top. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes. To make the maple glaze: While the scones are cooling, in a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, maple syrup, and enough of the water to make a smooth, pourable glaze. You should have about ½ cup. The glaze can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. When the scones have cooled, brush the tops evenly with the maple glaze and then serve.
