New York Bakery Co Bagels - Spread the News

New York Bakery Co has launched its first ever crowd sourced recipe book filled with delicious and inspiring bagel recipes from fans across the UK available to download absolutely free from the New York Bakery Co Facebook page.

The bagel experts invited bagel fans across the UK to submit their favourite recipes for the chance to inspire the nation and be published in a recipe book.

The free recipe book features 20 of the most popular suggestions from Manhattan Start-Up to Rocket Man to offer an exciting and versatile range of ideas for every eating occasion.  

Feeling inspired by the recipes and having some bagels to review, I came up with our own lunchtime creation.  Melted cheddar cheese, fried eggs and ketchup on a lightly toasted plain bagel.  We called it the Free Ranger!

So why not download the free recipe book and get creative in the kitchen to come up with some lovely lunches and super snacks of your own using the very yummy and extremely versatile New York Bakery Co Bagels?  Find out more on at:

A Taste of New York

New York Bakery Co – the makers of the nation’s favourite authentic bagels – has created two NEW mouth-watering bagel flavours for you to enjoy; Fruit & Oat and Red Onion & Chive. These flavours have been created with an authentic recipe so that the whole family can enjoy a taste of  cosmopolitan New York at home.

The new Fruit & Oat flavour is low in fat and a source of fibre and is packed full of  cranberries, raisins, sunflower seeds and topped with crunchy oats. Eat toasted and buttered alongside a cup of morning coffee. Or, if you’re looking for a savoury snack, the tasty Red Onion & Chive bagel makes a hearty lunchtime treat when filled or topped with your favourite topping .  They are both premium quality bagels.

New York Bakery Co make all of their bagels the authentic NY way by boiling them before they are stone-baked, giving them a deliciously chewy crust and a soft, fluffy centre.  

We were sent some to try.  We are big bagel fans anyway, and really enjoy the New York Bakery Co. bagels.  They are really soft and very yummy and we love the different flavours available.  We toast them and top with butter and eat instead of toast or a sandwich.  The kids also like a spread of jam on the Fruit and Oat bagel.

We are pretty conservative with our bagel consumption, but they are so versatile and provide an excellent base for any of your favourite deli toppings.  I did like the idea of this serving suggestion:  

Cheesy Treat - Create a yummy pizza bagel by melting mozzarella on a bagel and topping with juicy cherry tomatoes and freshly cracked black pepper.  However, our bagels all got eaten before I had a chance to be experimental!

New York Bakery Co’s Fruit & Oat and Red Onion & Chive bagels cost from £1.55 for a pack of four and are available at Tesco and Morrisons stores nationwide from January 2013. Visit the New York Bakery Co Facebook page at www.facebook.com/newyorkbakery for more information or recipe tips.

New York Co. Bagels...now in Wholemeal!!

We were sent two packs of New York Bakery Bagels in Cinnamon and Raisin and the brand new low-fat, high fibre Wholemeal varieties.  There are now seven  tasty members of the Bagel family.  Each bag contained five bagels just crying out to be toasted!  My girls love original bagels but hadn't tried any other flavour...they didn't need much persuasion to test them!

The bagel experts have developed a delicious, brand new recipe which means that the bagels are bigger, bolder and tastier than ever.  They are chewy on the outside and really soft on the inside....exactly how you want bagels to be!

We halved and toasted them and served them with butter.  We kept it nice and simple although bagels are very versatile and can be topped or filled in a whole variety of ways.  There are a load of serving suggestions on the website!

The verdict was extremely positive!  The girls loved the bagels.  They had a lovely texture and were much softer and tastier than any we'd tried previously.  The wholemeal variety was light and tasty.  It's good to know that it is made with healthy whole wheat flour complete with the fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that a whole grain has to offer.  It was really delicious!

New York Bakery Co. can be found on Facebook...why not pop across and say hello!  Check out the website and (for a limited time) you can print out a 50p off voucher for your next purchase of New York Co. Bagels!  Give them a try...I'd recommend the wholemeal variety for a healthy lunch idea!!
