Our Wasabi flavored Pukara, is made of a wonderful and exotic ingredient that originated centuries ago in the Middle East: olive oil. The wonders of this component are that not only does it have a heavenly taste but it is amazing for your health as well. Despite of the calories that, according to popular belief, olive oil might add to your system, the acceleration of metabolism is one of its great benefits. Furthermore, It also contributes to having radiant and healthy looking hair and skin because of Vitamin E a natural anti-oxidant.

I met someone the other day, who told me that she was trying to lose weight by starving herself to death; she had skipped breakfast and it was the middle of the afternoon.  Nearly fainting and not the same cheerful person that she said she used be; we began chatting and she mentioned to me that her mood swings where at their highest levels and every time the thought of food came into her head she became irritated.  I mentioned to her that eating is not the root of the problem given that FOOD IS NECESSARY, the highlight for some people, however, when eating we need to think healthy. She mentioned to me that healthy food does not taste as good as fast food or the type of food that she usually cooks.  I mentioned to her a couple of easy recipes I used with my products that were healthy, satisfying and delicious.  She said she would try them out.  She sent me an email this morning and she was so happy with the recipes that I mentioned; no more mood swings, no more starving to death.

Food can be tasteful and healthy at the same time

Easy recipes recommended:

Breakfast:

Cottage Cheese and Two Tablespoons Chaloner Raspberry and Plum Jam

Lunch:

Salad, with smoked turkey on top drizzles with Verlaque’s Sundried Turkish Fig

Dinner:

Grilled Chicken with Q Gourmet Sweet Tangy Mango sauce (which is also fat free)

As a Foodie, I am a Professional Eater. I have stopped fretting about my dress size. It fluctuates from size 2 in the summer, when I’m busy with summer events and walking like mad, to size 6 when I graciously plump up when I’m in “food season” sampling lots of new foods at various events.

The fashion of Alexander McQueen always makes me look fabulous! Among my designer favorites; Gucci, Prada, Stella McCartney, Alexander was in my top ten.

I dream to buy his couture fantasy and feminine pieces. I splurge on his classics; like his pencil skirt done only in a way that defines who Alexander McQueen is, and what he brings to fashion. I feel feminine and protected, ready for anything and everything.

“I try to protect people. A lot of my clothes are hard-edged, even if it is just a simple two-piece suit, like armor.” Stated McQueen

So it is with deep sadness that the Fashion World has lost this talanted designer, one I can count on protect me through “plumpy” sizes with a beautiful shape. He will be missed not only by his muse, but by me.

Rhoda,
Thank you so very much for your very generous gift (that I know is from your heart). As Foodie I know what a heart gift is and WOW. Thank you.

I am now having my 5th slice of cassava cake warmed with a cup of hot milk. I feel comforted and loved. I don’t know how you made the creamy goodness on top of the cassava pudding, just please share the recipe with me.

Onto the banana bread, again a slice of heaven I have it warmed with butter on top. So light and delicious. Noel tell me that when you gave it to him it was still warm. You are so AWESOME!

You completely made my day.

Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I’ve decided to forgo the sole latte in favour of oatmeal. After trying a variety from Quaker, premium organic, and store brand instant, I’ve fallen for the Peaches and Cream Flavour Private Label brand.

When warmed with milk the little pouch “made with whole grain oats” comes alive, even the dried peaches seem to take on a life to it. And the creaminess, very becoming of an instant cereal, is delicious it tastes like condensed milk has been added. All you Jamaicans out there can relate to this. There’s nothing like condensed milk on cereal, and many other things for that matter.

The sad disappointment is the ingredient dec. My goodness I’ve never seen such scientific language; sulfer dioxide, sodium sulphite, annatto color, creaming agent (what is a creaming agent anyway?) modified so and so, diglycerides, di phospate, tricalciup phostate, tocopherols, pyridoxane something or the other, and the list goes on and on and on.

With the push toward organic and all natural food choices from consumers I’m surprised this kind of product makes the grade and unto the supermarket shelves. As product placement specialists who fight the battle daily to add better for you choices to our retailer’s shelves, this is disappointing. That there is some buyer out there in retail land that would agree this kind of ingredients in a product for their assortment, to offer their customers.

As Adrian Ferran states “what do you expect from fast food, when you pay such a small amount”. So my brilliant oatmeal is filled with chemicals, what can I expect $1.99 for 10 pouches?

A truffle is a very powerful delectable. I am not talking about chocolate truffles; those are not true truffles. I am talking about the found in the ground; with a trained pig; looks like fungus – type of truffle.

How do you know if you have ever had the real thing? There’s only one way to describe the experience: It Tastes Like Funky!

There is no other way to describe it. Truffles are complicated oral sensations that are composed of overlapping, complimentary, yet deep tastes.

We recently made a very decadent popcorn in honor of the Toronto Film Festival. It was a huge success and ended up in some very exclusive swag bags for the celebrities in attendance. We wanted to recreate old-style movie popcorn flavor but we ended up surpassing it. I’ve never had popcorn this good. Each mouthful leaves you yearning for the next, before you have even swallowed the first. It is totally delicious and unique.
