Discover Paradigm Foodworks: Extraordinary Flavors for Everyday Living
Updated: 2 days ago
At The Home & Garden Store/Aloha Home and Garden, we believe some of life's greatest pleasures come from the simple things: a beautiful garden, a delicious meal shared with family, or an afternoon spent visiting with friends.
Good food has a special way of bringing people together, and sometimes a single ingredient can turn an ordinary meal into something memorable.
That's why we're excited to introduce Paradigm Foodworks, a distinctive line of specialty foods featuring imaginative flavors, delicious combinations, and plenty of inspiration for your kitchen.
Whether you're preparing a quick weeknight dinner, entertaining guests, or searching for a thoughtful gift, these specialty foods offer fresh ways to enjoy familiar favorites.
We're bringing a carefully selected assortment of Paradigm Foodworks products to Aloha Home and Garden in Boise, and we'd like to share a few ideas for enjoying them.
Discover a World of Flavor
One of the things that makes specialty foods interesting is their ability to introduce new flavors to familiar dishes. A flavorful conserve can transform a cheese board, a distinctive mustard can elevate a sandwich, and a delicious sauce can make an everyday dessert feel special.
Our initial Paradigm Foodworks selection includes a variety of sweet and savory products.
Fruit Conserves: A Little Something Special...
Fruit conserves are wonderful for much more than breakfast toast. Their rich flavors make them excellent accompaniments to cheese, crackers, roasted meats, and appetizers.
Our selection includes:
Apricot Cognac Conserve: A flavorful option for pairing with Brie, serving alongside roasted meats, or adding to an elegant appetizer spread.
Bourbon Fig Conserve: A delicious companion to cheese boards, crackers, and entertaining platters.
Caramelized Onion Conserve: A savory addition to burgers, sandwiches, and grilled meats.
These products are especially useful when entertaining. A few interesting accompaniments can turn a simple assortment of cheese and crackers into something guests will remember.
Mustards and Savory Sauces...
The right condiment can make a surprising difference in the kitchen. Specialty mustards and sauces can add depth, tang, sweetness, or a little heat without requiring a complicated recipe.
Our initial selection includes:
Fig Balsamic Mustard: Try it on sandwiches, with cheese, or as an ingredient in a flavorful dressing.
English Style Horseradish: A classic choice for roast beef, hearty sandwiches, and savory dishes.
Hawaiian Island BBQ Sauce: An appealing option for grilled chicken, pork, and backyard barbecues.
Polynesian Teriyaki Sauce: A convenient way to add flavor to chicken, vegetables, stir-fries, and rice bowls.
Thai Sweet Chili: A sweet-and-spicy accompaniment for appetizers, chicken, shrimp, and dipping sauces.
These versatile products offer plenty of opportunities to experiment with flavors while keeping meal preparation siple.
Sweet Treats for Dessert Lovers...
Sometimes dessert needs nothing more than one delicious finishing touch.
Our selection includes two tempting choices:
Bourbon & Butter Caramel Sauce: Try drizzling it over vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, sliced apples, or warm brownies.
Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel: A delicious-sounding combination to explore over ice cream, brownies, and other favorite desserts.
We are also introducing Lemon Curd, a versatile specialty spread that can be enjoyed on toast and scones or used in tarts, pastries, and layered desserts.
These products make it easy to add a special touch to desserts without spending hours in the kitchen.
Product availability and suggested uses may vary by item. Please check product labels for ingredients and serving recommendations.
Three Simple Recipes to Try at Home
One of the best ways to discover a new specialty food is to try it in a recipe. You don't need elaborate ingredients or advanced cooking skills to create something delicious.
Here are three easy ideas featuring products from our new selection.
Recipe No. 1: Warm Brie with Bourbon Fig Conserve
An easy appetizer for entertaining
Creamy Brie and rich fig flavors make a lovely combination. Serve this warm appetizer when friends visit, during the holidays, or as part of a weekend gathering.
Ingredients
1 small wheel of Brie cheese
2–3 tablespoons Paradigm Foodworks Bourbon Fig Conserve
Crackers or sliced baguette
Optional: chopped walnuts or fresh thyme
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Place the Brie in a small oven-safe baking dish.
Bake until the cheese is soft and warmed through, approximately 10–15 minutes, depending on its size.
Spoon the Bourbon Fig Conserve over the warm cheese.
Add a small amount of chopped walnuts or fresh thyme, if desired.
Serve with crackers or sliced baguette.
Aloha tip: Arrange the Brie on a wooden board with grapes, apple slices, and crackers for an attractive appetizer spread.
For food safety, use pasteurized Brie and heat it to 165°F, particularly when serving people who are pregnant, older, immunocompromised, or otherwise at increased risk from foodborne illness.
Recipe No. 2: The Gourmet Backyard Burger
Featuring Caramelized Onion Conserve and Fig Balsamic Mustard
A great burger doesn't need a long list of ingredients. A few flavorful additions can make it something special.
Ingredients
4 hamburger patties
4 hamburger buns
Paradigm Foodworks Caramelized Onion Conserve
Paradigm Foodworks Fig Balsamic Mustard
4 slices of Swiss or provolone cheese
Lettuce and tomato, if desired
Directions
Grill the hamburger patties, cooking ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F.
Add a slice of cheese during the final minute of cooking.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns.
Spread Fig Balsamic Mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
Add the burger and a generous spoonful of Caramelized Onion Conserve.
Finish with lettuce and tomato, if desired, and serve.
Aloha tip: Serve these burgers with grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, or a fresh garden salad for an easy backyard meal.
The combination of savory onions and distinctive mustard adds another layer of flavor to a familiar favorite.
Recipe No. 3: Hawaiian BBQ Glazed Chicken
Featuring Hawaiian Island BBQ Sauce
Looking for an easy way to add variety to your dinner menu? This simple grilled chicken recipe brings a sweet, savory barbecue flavor to the table.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
½ cup Paradigm Foodworks Hawaiian Island BBQ Sauce, plus extra for serving
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: pineapple slices and chopped green onions
Directions
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Lightly coat the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken, turning as needed, until nearly cooked through.
Brush with Hawaiian Island BBQ Sauce during the final several minutes of cooking to help prevent the sauce from burning.
Cook chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve with grilled pineapple, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Aloha tip: Grilled pineapple makes a delicious accompaniment to this meal. Add a fresh green salad and rice for an easy dinner the whole family can enjoy.
These recipes are suggestions developed around the selected products, rather than recipes supplied or tested by Paradigm Foodworks. Always follow the cooking and food-safety instructions appropriate to your ingredients.
More Ideas for Entertaining and Everyday Cooking
The possibilities don't end with these three recipes.
Here are a few additional ways to enjoy the products in our new selection.
Create a memorable cheese board. Arrange several cheeses with crackers, sliced apples, grapes, and small bowls of Apricot Cognac Conserve and Bourbon Fig Conserve. Add nuts or dried fruit for extra variety.
Give sandwiches a gourmet touch. Try Fig Balsamic Mustard with turkey, ham, or roast beef. For a heartier sandwich, add cheese and a little Caramelized Onion Conserve.
Make dessert more interesting. Drizzle Bourbon & Butter Caramel Sauce or Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel over vanilla ice cream, brownies, or cheesecake.
Try something new at dinner. Use Polynesian Teriyaki Sauce in a chicken and vegetable stir-fry, or serve Thai Sweet Chili alongside your favorite appetizers.
Add a bright citrus flavor. Spread Lemon Curd on scones or toast, or use it as a filling for small dessert tarts.
Small additions like these can bring variety to everyday meals without making cooking more complicated.
Specialty Foods Make Thoughtful Gifts
Looking for a gift for someone who enjoys cooking, entertaining, or trying new flavors?
Specialty foods are an excellent place to start.
