And we begin today with keeping up local with the Boyisey Co-op. You know, it’s always great getting food from our own backyards. Love is actually back in the Idaho Today kitchen to share a delicious recipe. We also have Tyler from the co-op joining us. Now, we all know love makes so many dishes for the co-op. And.
Today, we are lucky because you’re going to be sharing another one with us. And you’re doing it all with locally sourced ingredients from the co-op. So, I’m going to start by asking Tyler really fast. What kind of products can we find at the Boyisey Co-op? Yeah, we’re actually really proud. We have over 300 plus local vendors at the co-op. Um, and.
We’re adding more every single year. Um, yeah, it’s it’s a pretty wonderful thing that we’re able to do. Um, not a lot of local businesses can get into those big box chain retailers. So, it’s really wonderful thing for us to be able to offer there. So, yeah, I love that. I love the fact that you celebrate the community and the kind of the cornucopia.
Of Idaho, right? And you make it so accessible for all of us. All right. So, let’s talk about what you’re making love because your cla your claim your claim is only two ingredients. Yes. How is that possible? It just accidentally happened in my kitchen. Yes. One day I made a cake once. Okay. Right. And I just didn’t add one major ingredient and.
It turned out just as good. You’re kidding me. Yeah. Okay. So, what are we making? What is this? We’re making chocolate cake made with just eggs and chocolate. Eggs and chocolate only. You can have milk chocolate. Milk chocolate to make it sweeter. Yeah. Or semieet chocolate. Okay. Or dark chocolate. Or dark chocolate. Whatever your preference.
Is. Just just has to be chocolate. Exactly. Okay. So, I want to know how are you doing this? You’re whipping the eggs until they’re nice and fluffy. Until they double in size and then you mix chocolate with eggs. Okay. And is it It’s melted down chocolate. Yes, it’s already melted down. So, and is temperature really important part of.
This? Uh, you don’t want to burn the chocolate because it might not be as smooth anymore. Okay. So, and I imagine you don’t want the chocolate too hot either or you’re gonna suck eggs. You don’t. And you have to do it like scrambled eggs. Exactly. You don’t want scrambled eggs. So, you just do it slowly. You add one/3 of it and then you.
Mix it. Okay. And you know, we’ve been talking a bit about the the products that you can get at the co-op. I imagine you did this then with co-op products. Yes. the the local eggs from the farms and the chocolate which is right there. You can see what you’re using tonight. And Yep. And there you go. And that’s it. It’s that simple. Yes. My goodness.
Okay. So, so you’re going to slowly fold. I’m noticing you’re kind of folding it in with the spatula. Slowly. All right. It takes some time. A little patience. So, patience. This isn’t While it’s only two ingredients, which is nice and simple. You also don’t want to rush it, right? Because like Tyler and I mentioned, you don’t want scrambled eggs.
And you don’t want the chocolate too cold where it’s not going to incorporate well. Exactly. When it stops being uh smooth. Okay. So, you want to make sure it’s smooth. I’m going to let you continue to fold that in so we get the timing just right. Uh Tyler, tell us what does it mean to be communityowned and how can someone actually become a.
Member of the co-op? Yeah. Um we’ve been around since 1973. That’s hard to believe. Um over in the Hyde Park area is where we started. Um, yeah, it’s it’s a pretty cool program to be a part of, different than most grocery stores. Um, you can actually sign up to be a member for a one-time payment. That’s a lifetime membership. Um, there’s a lot.
Of misconstrued knowledge around what membership means and is it a monthly payment? All those kinds of things. So, um, no, you pay one time, 65 bucks to sign up and you get a lifetime of benefits. So, that’s 20% off local products. We do a local day two times a month. Um, and that’s for the rest of your life. And even if you move away, we.
Offer to refund that membership. We’re that confident in everything that we do and what we’re providing and supporting and um, we want it to be an experience for the community. So, Oh my goodness. Okay. And you mentioned it began in Hide Park. Yeah. So, you’ve been a part of the community for a very long time, supporting, you know, the the producers.
Of the community for a very long time. Yeah. It’s kind of crazy. We started in Hide Park and back then, um, Boisey was, you know, the main staple. It’s where everybody lived. as we’ve seen over the last couple years, everybody’s influxing into the Meridian, the Star, the Nampa area, and our village location over there on Eagle.
Road has really taken off and gotten really busy. Um, we’re hoping to expand in the near future as always um when things are booming and things are great. But, um, yeah, it looks like a lot of people are moving out that way. So, that’s, you know, where But it’s amazing though because you provide your services though to that area as well, right? And.
Celebrating the cornucopia because it continues to grow along with the community growing as well. There’s just always so much more to offer. All right. So, I’m going to check back in here with Love really quick. Okay. Okay. This looks very different now that you’ve been able to fold this all in. Still folding. Y. Okay. You’re still folding.
All right. So, when you’re done folding though, love, you’re just going to pour it here into a form. Yep. And you’re going to put it in the oven. Yes. How do you know when it’s done baking? Uh, it’s a really simple to do. You just have a toothpick and you poke it inside. And if nothing touches it, then it should be cooked. Okay. So, if the toothpick comes.
Out clean, just like with the standard Exactly. cake. Yeah. It’s the same exact thing. Oh my goodness. Okay. So, I know you’re going to keep folding, but I I have to say, Tyler, there’s a finished one right here, and it looks lovely. Let’s get a closeup of that. I cannot believe that this cake is egg and chocolate only. Look at how beautiful.
That looks. Accidentally. Accidentally. Love. What a beautiful discovery here. And I like to how you’ve kind of driven a little bit of like extra chocolate or ganache off the top. It looks like some fresh blueberries, strawberries. I imagine that come also from the co-op as well. Uh Tyler, do you want to take a bite with me? Absolutely. Is that okay,.
Love? Absolutely. Okay. Yes. So, I’m going to ask you if you don’t mind cutting us a a little slice here for Tyler and I to dive in.
