Why We’re Featuring It

As a publisher, Blaine sees hundreds of products and services cross his desk every year. Very few make it to his plate.
Passanante’s did — and it changed how he shops, cooks, and eats at home.

In The Publisher’s Plate, Blaine shares honest reviews, behind-the-scenes photos, and authentic recipes made with Passanante’s food. Whether it’s a weeknight stir-fry or a special weekend roast, every meal is a reminder that great food starts with great ingredients.
