Supermarket Sampler Column

A nationally syndicated weekly column reviewing new grocery foods that runs in newspaper food sections around the country, co-written with registered dietitian Bonnie Tandy Leblang, in a point-counterpoint format. Find out what’s new in the supermarket and whether it’s worth buying. "I look forward to reading [your column] every Wednesday. The opinions coming from two different points of view are interesting, and the touch of humor is the gourmet ingredient," writes a reader near Boston. "Lively and catchy … readers love it," sayeth a Rhode Island editor. Read our latest column at SupermarketSampler.com.

What were the hits and misses of the eating year just past? Find out by reading our year-end wrap-up, including the name of the innovative winner of our coveted Golden Shopping Cart Award for the one new product that is both tasty and not bad for you.
