Otto Says...

I hired Kara right after the store open to work retail, but her skills are such that she has become the marketing and graphics doyenne for my store. My sister Marianna did a beautiful graphics package for the store, but I was unprepared to implement it. Then along comes Kara, my store is beautifully signed, and this website you are looking at is her doing. Love her!

Kara is also our resident food writer. She has a weekly column in the Register Star and Daily Mail and writes a food blog- An Hour in the Kitchen.

Kara's favorite products:

	TruRoot Germinated Rice While I have been known to germinate my own rice, TruRoot has already done the work for me. Germinating the rice ups the grain's nutritional prowess. Plus it cooks in half the time of regular rice.
	Limonata An Italian summer in a can.
	Dagoba Xocolatl Drinking Chocolate I love the spicy bite of this rich hot chocolate.
	Bulk Herbs I almost always try to buy herbs in bulk. I'm thrilled that Otto's carries them.
	Mymouné Pomegranate Molasses When I fist saw this product, I wanted to pour it on ice cream. Not so fast, even though molasses might make one think sweet, this is complex, tart and savory sauce. I’m a little addicted to it. It makes a killer salad dressing.
