Brodo Is Back for Fall — Meet Tom Yum

There’s a reason we get excited when Brodo comes back for the fall, and this time we’re especially excited about the Tom Yum.

Brodo’s Tom Yum Bone Broth brings the bold, bright flavors of Thailand to a rich, savory bone broth. It has that wonderful balance of savory, tangy, and aromatic flavors that makes it delicious enough to sip straight from a mug, but versatile enough to use as a base for soups, noodles, rice, or your favorite cozy fall recipes.

It’s a little different from your everyday bone broth—and that’s exactly what we love about it.

Of course, we have the rest of the Brodo lineup back in stock, too: Tuscan Sun, Signature Hearth, Chicken Bone Broth, and Beef Bone Broth.

Stock up for the cooler days ahead. Brodo is back at Purple Thistle Kitchen + Co.!

Sweet, rich, and bursting with berry flavor, Scandinavian Delight’s Boysenberry Spread is made with the distinctive combination of raspberries and blackberries. The result is a beautiful deep red-purple spread with plenty of real berry pieces in every jar.

Delicious on toast, biscuits, scones, pancakes, or stirred into yogurt, it’s also a lovely addition to a cheese board.

A little taste of something special for your breakfast table—or anytime you’re craving a little berry goodness.

Ready to shake up your cocktail routine? Death & Co Bartender’s Choice is a deck of cards designed to help you discover classic cocktails and dream up new favorites.

Choose a card, explore a drink, and let it inspire your next pour. It’s part cocktail reference, part creative prompt—and a fun addition to any home bar.

Perfect for cocktail enthusiasts, aspiring home bartenders, or anyone who enjoys trying something new.

October 8 | 6:00 p.m.

Pastry chef Lauren Menke will walk you through the basics of working with buttercream, piping techniques, and how to create beautiful designs while keeping things fun and approachable.

No previous decorating experience is necessary. Come ready to learn some new techniques, play with frosting, and have fun creating your own cookies!
