OMG, this place has THE most heavenly ricotta cheese. If you are looking for a high quality ricotta…read moreto make lasagna, cannoli, Italian cheesecake, etc, look no further. This place is a real gem. Their ricotta even beats DiBruno's homemade. It is that good. Delish! You won't be disappointed. Note: they even sell curd so that you can make your own mozzarella at home! Also, they sell a few different kinds of ricotta including the infamous impastata.

Tucked away on Old Lancaster Pike in Hockessin, Delaware is Chef's Haven, a small gourmet prepared…read morefood shop where Chef Mark has been teaching the local populace how to make really great food for the last 20 years!!! In the rear of the shop, past the fine cheeses, freshly baked baguettes, and clam chowder that is to die for, Chef Mark has a small kitchen area and raised settings for 10 lucky people to sit, watch and learn as Chef Mark and his Sous Chef Ethan prepare a themed menu upon which the class participants get to enjoy. And enjoy is truly an understatement!!!! I've taken three of the classes and have booked three more. My first class was Italian steak which began with a hearty white bean, escarole, and sausage soup, followed by a fresh and balanced panzanella salad, which the class dined happily on while Chef Mark prepared the main event. It was a 2+ inch thick steak topped with Gorgonzola cheese and a caramelized onion sauce. The taste, size, and quality of this steak was not to be believed!!! Chef Mark must have some deep connection to the Beef Gods themselves. In short, a magnificent meal where I met some very nice people, learned a lot from Chef Mark who is low key but very personable and full of entertaining stories of his life and career as a chef including tips on buying quality, healthy, ingredients!! My last class was a Greek themed class. It began with a tasty starter of slices of his fantastic, and freshly made baguettes and a dipping sauce of whipped feta, topped with finely diced green onion, garlic, and sundried tomato!! The Chef does not play when he is tempting your taste buds. It was delicious!!! This was followed by a Greek Lemon Chicken Soup which tasted so fresh, clean, and healthy, I designated it as the first new recipe I will try and make myself. The chicken, carrots, and soft rice in a yummy lemon tinged chicken stock was pure heaven!!! And if I hadn't already had a fork stuck in me, I'm done feeling the main course is ready!! 2 inch thick lamb chops sourced from the Greek Gods themselves, over crispy, browned roasted potatoes which were also covered with the pan drippings!!! Just kill me now so I can die a happy man!!! Or maybe just wait till after dessert!!! Once again, a fantastic meal taught simply by a fantastic Chef, and Sous Chef and enjoyed completely by a nice group of people who wanted to learn and expand their culinary horizons. Chef Mark and Sous Chef Ethan without a doubt nourished our minds and even more importantly our bellies!!! Take a class and savor the experience!!!!

I stopped here on my way to my cousin's house and bought a whole bunch of frozen food for us to…read moreeat. It was all delicious and very enjoyable...meatballs, Italian Wedding Soup, lasagne, Italian bread and authentic Italian cookies. I was there in the middle of the day and kind of expected a lively Italian deli vibe. It was very quiet with two employees working there. But the food was great so it didn't matter much that the Italian vibe wasn't there. That was the first time I was in the area but if I was passing through I'd definitely go again and get a bunch of food to go.

After living here for a quarter century and enduring an "Asian Desert" we have a fine market for…read moreAsian groceries, not quite H-Mart but pretty darn close. In addition to all the sauces, mostly Vietnamese and Korean, there are seasonings, spices, fresh produce including guavas, durian (frozen whole and peeled), baby bananas (apple bananas? not sure the variety) and Asian greens like Shanghai baby bok choi, gai lan, and water spinach, garlic chives and long beans. Didn't see pea vines but they are quite hard to get. Bulk rice and dried mushrooms, and fresh fish and seafood as well as meats including organ meats. Noodles fresh, frozen and dried as far as the eye can see. A small section of housewares. Outside the market (which is in the old Toys R Us if you remember back when) there is a small food court with roast duck, banh mi and pastries. There is also a Korean bbq restaurant and a noodle and dumpling restaurant nearby in the parking area, the Korean bbq is across from the market and the noodle dumpling house is next to where the old Borders bookstore had been (on the way out of the shopping center.) Worth the trip. We enjoy cooking at home, especially Asian food and we enjoy grocery shopping so this was a really fun excursion. And since we eat a lot of bok choi, we'll be back soon.

It's a large Asian grocery store that sells everything from fresh seafood, produce, cooking tools, frozen food, and more.

I live over two hours away from my sister and couldn't make it to there home for Thanksgiving…read moredinner. She ordered a Thanksgiving for me and one for her daughter. This was my first time getting food from Janssen's. All of the wonderful items were packed so well. The best turkey that I ever had the strings bean were crisp sweet potatoes so yummy and the stuffing marvelous and the turkey gravy so good and the salad amazing but the two biscuits so fluffy and the pumpkin pie tasty. My sister Sandra Beatty told me that she often shops at Janssens. Told her it was the best turkey ever and she stopped at Janssens last Sunday. She agreed with me that the turkey was the best.

NEW HOURS from NOVEMBER 2021…read more 9 -- 7 Sunday 9 -- 8 the rest of the week Pretty good selection, they seem to have extensive fish and meat as well though I have only purchased packaged goods and some other groceries. Easy store to navigate, and is not crammed. Lots of smaller or end displays with changing stock, keeps it interesting. Fast checkout! My only issue with this store is that they are VERY LAX ON PRICE DISPLAY. I know I'm shouting, maybe Gigante will hear me (this listing is unclaimed). Happily the cashiers are friendly and help scan things, but this is a pain....just about half of my items last time had NO PRICE labels on item or the shelf! Stopped me from more spontaneous purchases so maybe not a bad thing, but annoying nonetheless.

I'm a sucker for a unique donut shop and this was such a good stop. (We were visiting Philadelphia…read moreand had our son with us who had not been to Delaware yet and wanted to get him into the state). The restaurant was not what I was expecting. I thought it was a little donut shop, but it was actually a full restaurant/bar. The restaurant didn't really seem to be open yet, but the donuts at back were fresh and coming out for the morning. There were so many options it was very hard to choose what to get. These donuts were special, in that they are brioche and very large and fluffy. We got an apple pie and strawberry cheesecake donut. We definitely didn't need two, but "when in Delaware" I guess? Haha! The woman at the counter was really helpful in our difficult decision and was very friendly and patient with us while we drooled over the donut menu haha!

The menu looked promising, but we'll never know. Unfortunately, we arrived at our 3pm reservation…read more The hostess was rude and didn't greet us. We immediately felt like we were an inconvenience. After we were seated, the waitress brought out our drinks. 1 1/2 hours later, she comes back with the promise our food would be out soon, then, one minute, then oh yeah they are plating the food. Then we spotted our waitress and a few other servers vaping as the kitchen door opened. The manager was checked out as we were speaking with him. Needless to say the service was awful, so we left. As I said promising, but their staff and customer service is a complete turn off. Eat well folks! Ps. My daughter did a Yelp review right after we left but somehow it's been removed...
