Hi Jenny, I love all your recipes. I would like to know where can I buy the whole grain pastry flour to make the chocolate chip pizza. I didn’t see it in my local supermarket. Is there a certain brand I need? I look forward to your new cookbook. Thanks Jenny.

My Response…

Only some grocery stores carry it but I can always find it at Whole Foods. My grocery store carries Arrowhead Mills brand but only sometimes. If there’s not a Whole Foods in your area, check with any health food store or you can always order it online. Look for either “whole grain pastry flour” or “whole wheat pastry flour” as they are both good sources of B vitamins and fiber. When baking cookies, I try to replace at least some of the white flour with whole grain pastry flour or when possible, I’ll use all whole grain flour (like with my oatmeal cookies, which are 100% whole grain). One more thing… all whole grain flours must be stored in the fridge.

Jenny, What easy dish can I make in advance for about 30 people and serve out of a chafing dish? If you’re in the mood, por favor…..

My Response…

I have an idea that should be pretty easy and would survive well in a chafing dish: Pesto bowties with chicken. Chicken is cooked ahead or store-bought rotisserie, cut into bite-size pieces. Pesto can be made days ahead (there’s a recipe in my book but Butoni makes a good one if store bought). Day of, you only have to cook the pasta & stir in the pesto & chicken. Keep some extra pesto or olive oil if it starts to look dry. Add parmesan or serve it on the side. (This is making me hungry!)
