By Carol Shih |

Every year on SideDish, we like to devote our energy to supporting small local food businesses here in DFW. For the twelve days, we’ll be highlighting jams, jellies, pies, classes, wines, coffees, teas, and basically any food product made locally on Dallas (or close to it) soil. Today is Gift Boxes and Gift Cards Day. If you’ve got a product that you want included, send me an email with your information and a picture. This list will often be updated, so don’t fret about deadlines. We’re here to serve you guys.

Artizone

“Each basket includes:
Pomodoro Pizza and Pasta Sauce
Puttanesca Pizza and Pasta Sauce
Pomegranate Champagne Vinaigrette,
Dipping Oil & Marinade Primer
Pasta
Gnocchi
Cooking With Chef Gorji DVD
Recipes using how to use the Gorji Gourmet Food Products

Fifteen percent of every basket goes to Laidley’s Ladies and Gentlemen, a Dallas-based non-profit foundation, that raises funds for breast cancer research and assists under-funded families in achieving excellent breast cancer care.

The basket can be ordered through Artizone.com, GorjiGourmet.com or by calling 972-503-7080.

People can also pick them up at Canary By Gorji at 5100 Belt Line Rd., Ste. 402 Dallas, TX 75254. When calling to order, please ask Chef Gorji about the wine options available to add to any basket for local delivery.”

Canary by Gorji

“Just in time for the holidays, a mouth-watering assortment of gourmet pasta sauces, dipping oil and marinade and vinaigrette salad dressing from the kitchen of award-winning Chef Gorji’s intimate Dallas restaurant, Canary by Gorji are available in special holiday packages with 15% of the proceeds donated to Laidley’s Ladies Foundation, a Dallas-based non-profit foundation, that raises funds for breast cancer research and assists under-funded families in achieving excellent breast cancer care.
A great gift for busy cooks, the package creates the foundation for a restaurant-quality meal and includes Pomodoro Sauce, Puttanesca Sauce, Pomegranate Vinaigrette, Dipping Oil & Marinade Primer, two pastas, recipes and “Cooking With Gorji” DVD. The culinary gift packages start at $68.50.
Chef Gorji, who has experienced breast cancer striking his family and friends, says he wanted to join the fight from his battlefield, the kitchen. “I’m thrilled to continue to be part of Laidley’s Ladies and Gentlemen and help save lives—one bite at a time!”
The specialty gourmet packages, ideal for personal as well as corporate gift-giving, are available online and at the restaurant.”

FarmGirls Pantry Preserve

Donelle Simmons is busy. She does the DFW Food Truck Farm and Garden Inspirations, her personal business. She’s got a holiday gift package that is perfect for local-obsessed people. She says: “My business, Garden Inspirations, makes pantry kits called FarmGirls Pantry Preserves. We have many jams, jellies, pickles, and sauces.” Usually the mixed kit is sold for $55, but it’s only $35 because it’s the holidays, and Simmons is nice. Order here.

Fullsophie

Jess & Tarin have an awesome gift idea. Listen to this: “Fullosophieis a ‘farm to fork’ gourmet food company that delivers fresh, all natural, clean gourmet food to your doorstep.  We don’t believe in dieting, but making clean, high quality food easy and accessible.  This time of year it’s easy to get off track, but with our service and the ability to have it delivered to anyone you want (in Dallas), we try and make it easier to eat well.

We’ve just added DIY cooking boxes, which make a perfect present for those who want to learn how to cook, love to cook but don’t have time to get to the grocery store or meal plan, and date nights!”

Joslyn glows about these ladies here. You can also order gift cards by emailing [email protected]. This is also the last week to order holiday chow, so hop to it.
