Amy visits F&E

My friend Amy sent me this funny account of her first visit:

I decided to swing down to Fresh & Easy to see if I could get something for dinner. So first I accidentally drive all the way down to Sunset because I can't remember which boulevard you said it was on. I can't imagine a supermarket on Hollywood anyway, so I drive around the block down there a few times in case I might have missed it. So I get back up to Hollywood and see the sign, but can't figure out where to park and circle around a couple more times. Then feeling sort of nervous down in the quiet parking structure, I manage to ask where the "Fresh Faire" was. I'm such an idiot. Honestly, I was like a little old lady; I went too far up on the elevator, then had to walk down the stairs, then walked in the exit, came back out and went in the entrance to get a cart...I was like Mr. Bean's girlfriend.

Happily, once I did get inside, I was rewarded with a pretty cool store. I loved the wild rocket salad and the fresh balsamic vinaigrette. (That would be the refrigerated version, not the bottled version mind you.) Also the organic marinara was very tasty. Simple, but perfectly delicious. The pre-made pizza crusts, that are in the bakery section are amazing! You just cook them on an oiled sheet pan and they come out great. Please try those. We made plain little pizzas for the kids last night, but I was thinking you could drizzle olive oil, herbs, salt & pepper and serve with pasta or soup and it would be delicious! (yes so delicious you have to have an exclamation point!) Ok. Now onto the mind blower. The cakes. The slices of cake were great. I am so often disappointed in bought cake, I'm not even sure what made me try them. I got a slice of double chocolate layer, carrot, and chocolate cheesecake. They were all really good.
