Baby Food and Hestan Cookware
Sybille van Kempen, the owner of Loaves and Fishes, started the shop’s line of homemade baby food more than 30 years ago, when her own children were babies. It has been for sale at the Sagaponack shop ever since.
“My mom formulated the recipes to give us the best of her cooking, and then to share that amazing cooking with the community,” Karina Forrest, her daughter and the manager of Loaves and Fishes, said in an email.
The baby food is made using high-quality ingredients to ensure children are truly nourished at every meal, according to Ms. Forrest. The many flavors include veal dinner, chicken dinner, blueberry-apple, yellow vegetable, and green vegetable.
Brandi Anderson, the manager of Loaves and Fishes Cookshop in Bridgehampton, has announced the arrival of ProBond Luxe, the latest line of Italian cookware from Hestan. The cookware features stainless-steel tri-ply construction with a pure aluminum core, resulting in 35-percent greater heat conductivity than regular clad cookware, according to the shop.
