Cookie is from the heart

The end of a year, taking stock of what you have been up to?  Better still over a glass or two and a full tummy.

It has been a wild year for us. In recent months at Cookie we have been thinking carefully about what Cookie is? What we do, how we do it and why? It is the why which is really our starting point.

It is not easy. It has been a steep learning curve but at our heart we have always been a food business which does things that it believes in.

We think it is important to be direct with food. No mystery, no adjectives. Healthy interests that we can share with curiosity for the new and the old. We are responsive to our customers. Quality products are at Cookies core and there is a story behind all that we do, whether this is about; why we choose our Italian sausages from Federico at Tollcross or help Alessandro export wine for the first time. It is why we work with the amazing and talented Conzo for our graphics and talk bread with a German master baker called Karl at Bavaria bakery.

So in this post we would like to say thanks to all our customers and fans who have followed us over the year. We are really grateful for your support and care. We come from the heart and that is why we are going to only make it better for you to enjoy.

A special thanks Hannah, Gregor, Gordon, Alan, Robert, Steven now at Wholefoods in Giffnock, Graham, Alison, Gail, Kieran the Kiwi, Andrew & Kathryn and baby, The Bisland boys, Rico, Alessandro, and Franco at Le Poggette.

Grazie. D&M

Ohh yeah and by the way…. Come buy our wine as it is magic.

In the next few weeks things will be changing at Cookie. Our wine goes on sale at £7.99 both in Cookie and Maxwell’s Off sales on Nithsdale Rd. We will be bring it to other locations in the build up to Christmas, let us know where you would like to see it .

We have a new menu structure which starts next week and a new kitchen line up to match as Robert takes the helm and Gordon moves on to develop Cookie Catering.

We have developed a fast and inexpensive lunch menu  and a new breakfast line up starts with great ideas and a strong vegetarian content: Omelette to taste, a return of the Arnold Bennett, Welsh Rarebit, Eggs florentine, granola, porridge and more.

Side courses and salads are defined with fun names such as “Liver regeneration”, the “Jock salad” or classcis such as Rumbledethumps. Poached pears, Cantuci & Vin Santo, spicy crumbles and the Cookie Chocolate fudge bring up the rear.

Lots of Christmas treats and odd ball ideas can be found and our new olive oil in beautiful glass bottles arrive mid month just in time for stocking fillers.
