On Jan. 31, organic and natural foods giant Whole Foods Market once again attacked the Organic Consumers Association, the nation's leading watchdog on organic standards, as being too "hard-line" for insisting that retailers like WFM stop selling, or at least start labeling, billions of dollars worth of so-called "natural" foods in their stores - ...

A reader left a message on my voicemail asking where to find beef stew made with tomatoes rather than a brown gravy base. We had several suggestions from our faithful Dish followers. Thanks, gang. One reader said beef stew made with tomatoes is a Pennsylvania Dutch dish. You can find the dish on restaurant menus in Lancaster County, Pa. In their cookbook, “The Amish Cook at Home” (Andrews McMeel Universal, 2008), Lovina Eicher and Kevin Williams write that in Amish cooking, tomatoes “find their way into soups, stews and spreads as summer turns to fall.” Roseann, another reader, called to say that The Hearth restaurant on U.S. 13 in Odessa (378-9901) offers a beef stew with an orange-red sauce. “This gravy is a different color than regular beef stews and it’s delicious,” she said. We called The Hearth and the stew is indeed made with tomatoes. It’s not part of the regular menu, but the stew is often offered as a special on Wednesdays. The dish, which comes with one vegetable, costs less than $9. If you’re interested, call first to make sure the dish is being made that day. Sandy Ozolins of Newark sent a recipe for a dish called Italian stew. “I think, although it is not for sale anywhere, your reader would be able to make it quite simply and I think he/she would be happy with the results,” she wrote. We’ve posted Ozolins recipe on our Second Helpings blog, www.delawareonline.com. A question about when the Whole Foods Market was opening in the Glen Eagle Square Shopping Center, 477 Wilmington West Chester Pike, also brought a flurry of emails. We left a message for a New York public relations firm handling the press for the Glen Mills, Pa., store and still haven’t heard back with an answer. A Jan. 30 posting on Whole Foods Market Glen Mills’ Facebook reads: “The question of the month is ‘When are we opening?’ While we are so excited about joining your community, the opening day isn't quite public yet! Believe me, you will be the first to know when we are ready for the BIG announcement! I may even start giving hints, so stay tuned.” Here’s what readers have to say: Whole Foods update I saw your “update” on Whole Foods in Feb. 3 Dish column. I too have been eagerly awaiting the opening of this store. I just wanted to add that on Jan. 27, they had a Jobs Fair for this new Glen Mills, Pa. store, so I'd say the opening must be imminent. (I didn't go – I was just checking their website last week for an opening day update and saw the jobs posting). — Carol Fiederlein Opening announced at job fair FYI, two weeks ago there was a job fair for Whole Foods that was held at the Concordville Inn on a Thursday and Friday. They announced that Whole Foods would be opening March 14. With no confirmation from Whole Foods, we can’t say with certainty that this is the opening date. More info on housemade mozzarella Last week, Chris wanted to know where to find a store that makes its own mozzarella. We had a few suggestions, but our blog readers say we missed a few places. One said that Capers & Lemons sells housemade mozzarella in its market that’s adjacent to the restaurant at 301 Little Falls Drive in Mill Creek. Call 256-0524 or visit www.platinumdininggroup.com. Another said to go to Talula’s Table, 102 W. State St., Kennett Square, Pa.; (610) 444-8255, www.talulastable.com. I realize this may be a bit “far afield” from Kennett Square, where the individual lives who was seeking out fresh mozzarella, but on Ninth Street in the Italian Market in Philadelphia sits Claudio's House of Cheese. Not the shop that sells all things Italian but next door. They make mozzarella. It is made about 12 feet from the counter where you make your purchase. It is fresh. I live north of Wilmington and on the ride back from Philadelphia, my wife and I nosh the whole way home. It's great! — Gregg Bunitsky Gregg, we, too, are big Claudio fans and love their mozzarella. They also make burrata, an oozier kind of mozzarella. It’s not available everyday, but if you see it, buy it. Immediately. Call (866) 313-3663 or visit claudiofood.com. Locally, the seasonal SIW Vegetables stand, known is to many as Haskell’s, at 4317 S. Creek Road in Chadds Ford, Pa., sells Claudio’s cheeses to go with their terrific, homegrown heirloom tomatoes. The stand is generally open from June through Halloween. Visit siw-vegetables.blogspot.com for more information or call (610) 388-7491. Tomato pie at Piazza Di Caruso Have been following both your and Nancy Coale Zippe's columns about tomato pie.

Lloyd Glad we could help. La Piazza Di Caruso is at 830 Peoples Plaza in Bear. Call 832-9000 or visit www.lapiazzadicaruso.com.
