English lovers and those who enjoy editing, would you mind helping me with this?

We dedicate ourselves to serving you with carefully crafted fare made from the freshest ingredients. The vast majority of our ingredients are either organic, pesticide free, sustainably sourced, cruelty free, local or directly traded. Grass fed beef or sustainable fish are a must in our kitchen.
Tradition in preparation and presentation as well as the slow food movement inspired us to work with old-style recipes and to cautiously handle ingredients.
We handcraft every baked good individually, and we mill the whole wheat for our bread ourselves. Our oats are flaked shortly before making porridge and Bircher Müsli. Our homemade yogurt takes hours to get its smooth taste and texture. All spreads and sauces are made from scratch.
You won’t find a fryer, grill, or griddle in the kitchen.
Our recipes balance salt, sugar and fat, and we work only with extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, and butter.

We are dedicated to serving you only well-crafted dishes made from fresh ingredients. Up to 85% of our ingredients are either organic, pesticide free, sustainably-sourced, cruelty free, grown locally or directly traded. Grass-fed beef and sustainable fish are musts in our kitchen.
I feel that saying that you’re careful suggests that you really aren’t, so I took it out.

The traditional way of preparing and presenting food, and the slow-food movement, were the very things that inspired us to work with traditional recipes and to cautiously [consider substituting with “prudently,” “judicioiusly”] handle ingredients.
It’s passive voice, which is generally frowned upon. But it has its stylistic uses, and this thing is all about style, so I’m going to leave it.

We hand-craft our baked goods individually, the whole wheat for our bread is milled in-house, and the oats are flaked shortly before making the porridge and Bircher Müsli. We make our own yogurt, giving it time to develop its smooth taste and texture. All spreads and sauces are made from scratch.

It needs a conclusion. A valediction. Something.

I’d be inclined to say ”...that inspire us to work with traditional recipes and to treat our ingredients with the respect they deserve” or something like that.

Where’s the passive, @Nullo? Surely not “were,” which is nothing but past tense.

This sentence bothers me:
Up to 85% of our ingredients are either organic, pesticide free, sustainably-sourced, cruelty free, grown locally or directly traded.
The list with “or” says that each thing meets one of those criteria. So something might be locally grown but not cruelty-free. I don’t think this is as intended.

Also I don’t believe the “very” has been dealt with. Ask them what German word they’re thinking of. Is it zwar?

It’s too late and I’m too dopey now to do a real edit, buit I’ll look again tomorrow.

@Jeruba Mayhaps I mis-identified, but the second paragraph has things happening to the actors. I do know that my writing profs gave me a hard time about that sort of thing – they liked it better when I put the subject before the direct object(s).

I had intended the ‘or’ to contrast the locally-grown with the directly traded, and for the rest to be conjoined with the subtle ‘and’ that you can put into a comma; additional punctuation may be necessary.

I think that the ‘very’ is the same one as in, “The very thing!”

It’s a causative construction rather than a passive construction.

I’ve always been confused by such ideas as the passive voice being “frowned upon”, but then again, I have rather strong views on prescriptive attitudes to language.

I like @Nullo‘s version, with the following change We are dedicated to serving you only well-crafted dishes made from the freshest ingredients.

@the100thmonkey Ya learn something new every day!
@BarnacleBill I considered that, and thought that ‘freshest’ was a little too cliché – after all, that’s what everybody says. This way, it serves merely to distinguish fresh from frozen or otherwise preserved.

“creamery butter”

“allowing hours” -> “so that we can guarantee its”

And for your actual question. “We jealously guard our old continental recipes and infuse them with the best that the slow food movement has to offer.”

Thank you all for your input so far! It’s very helpful. :)

@MissAnthrope We’ll be expecting our cut of your bonus, naturally. :P

Well, let’s see.. 50% of zero, naturally.. comes out to.. ;)
