Diane Romagnoli has had a very productive year at the Seacoast Farmers’ Markets. You helped make her new line of flatbread crisps, Craquelins, a huge success! So much so, that she is moving production to a new kitchen. The bad news is that we are losing her to Concord next year.
But not to worry… At this week’s Portsmouth market you still have a chance to sample these delicious treats, featuring two seasonal varieties. Diane says the special edition Harvest Pumpkin Spice tastes like “pumpkin pie on a cracker”, and Sweet Cinnamon Sugar is her version of cinnamon toast.
Sounds like two great reasons to come to the market on Saturday, wish her well, and take home these popular (and we might add, beautiful) new crackers.
Find out more about Diane and the Good Bread Company.
