The London based restaurant Duck & Waffle launches one-ingredient cocktails, where they explore the level of flavour achievable from one ingredient.

The menu features 10 cocktails named after the ingredients they are based on, such as Olive, Tomato, Avocado and Red Pepper. Each part of the ingredient is used – from tomato skins and red pepper stalks to spent coffee grounds and walnut shells – to showcase its versatility and minimise waste.

‘We have amazing ingredients to work with, why bastardise them with other flavours? I want them to shine in all their glory,’ Rich Woods, head of cocktail development at Duck & Waffle. ‘I wanted to illustrate how much flavour can be extracted from a single ingredient and show the levels of complexity that can be obtained from multiple elements of a single source.’

Basically, what we see in the markets is that mixologists are increasingly adopting a Trash-to-table mindset, repurposing ingredients that are typically discarded to create innovative new serves.

Yours, Fran

I am sending you energy and love from Puglia, south of Italy! This is my first Yoga Retreat experience, and I have to say that I really enjoy!

We are 14 people from different countries, enjoying good food, nice weather and relaxation.

Yesterday we did a wine tasting at an old castle – what a great experience !

Our teacher for the 5 days.

I smell wonderful flowers (such as gardenia, jasmine, etc.), eat super nice food and relaxing by the pool is also not bad 😉

Yoga in nature! Or on the rooftop…

Thanks to Do.Be.See for organizing this!!!

Yours, Fran

For better or for worse, a lot of people on the internet think Tide Pods look delicious. I personally love to touch them too 😉

So I was thrilled to see that someone appears to have successfully made edible Tide Pods in sushi form!

To be clear, this isn’t the first time the topic of edible Pods has been broached online. There’s been a hypothetical recipe floating around for a few days now. But that one — let’s be honest — seems pretty flavorless, and this new one looks a little more appetizing. It even appears to have retained that iconic Tide Pod squish.

Enjoy your weekend with a delicious start!!! Yours, Fran

The Cure is a brand-new restaurant in the 9th arrondissement of Paris offering you to eat in accordance with your mood and to correct it if need be. Food can play a major role on your state of mind!

Humeurs
Whether you feel depressed or whacked or if you only feel like boosting your memory, Stéphanie, the place’s owner has a menu for you.


If you feel tired: wheat, chickpea, carrots, onions, zucchinis, peppers, spinach, cashew nuts, hemp seeds, Alfredo sauce served with a chestnut cake. If you feel annoyed: pearled barley, whole wheat, chorizo, garlic, tomatoes and lemon, served with a chocolate, hazelnut and almond cookie.

According to the owner, the effect will not necessarily be immediate, but a week of mood-menu and you will be more serene.

The mood topic is seen everywhere at the moment – good timing to come up with a Restaurant! Yours,  Fran

Tel Aviv student Iftach Gazit has designed food bags that can be added to the laundry cycle to cook dinner at the same time. The Sous La Vie bags, which were designed as part of Gazit’s Industrial Design course at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, rely on the sous-vide method of cooking.

This immerses vacuum-sealed food in hot water over a long period of time, and ensures meals are evenly cooked and stay moist. Gazit’s bags are made from waterproof Tyvek paper, which keeps the food soap-free.

Cooking vegetables? Set your machine to ‘cotton’ for a short duration program.

Great innovations happening here! Yours, Fran

… without regret!!! Project Nourished made it possible!

Similar to the previous post, this project tricks our brain in a smart and visually tempting way!

Bildergebnis für project nourished

“Our perception of a meal relies upon different sensory input derived from the visuals, flavors, scents, textures, consistency and auditory feedback of what we eat. By isolating various flavor compounds and recreating their taste and textural profiles — coupled with virtual reality, aromatic diffusion and auditory sensation — we can mimic a surprising amount of eating experience.”

There is still so much to discover! Happy belated Christmas. Yours, Fran

Eating habits – let’s get healthy again!

A few days ago I’ve been at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven and i saw this inspiring concept of a young Dutch designer called Naomi Jansen, who wants to change the way of thinking in the healthcare sector.

She founded a company called Genees-Smakelijk based on the fact that industrial food makes 10% of our population sick. Our eating habits have more influence on our bodies than we might think.

Consequently, Naomi suggests that we should give patients pure natural ingredients that have a known effect on the health instead of giving chemical pills again.

Simple, but powerful approach! Well done! Yours, Fran

You probably know all about the discussions about a new world where medicinal Cannabis might be legal, or at least permitted, so it can be processed in food for medicinal purposes…

But it is award winning Madame Munchie who is really creating a new category of edibles. These products not only use local North California’s organic, but also medicinal and gluten-free ingredients.

Their focus is on providing wellness, relief and delicious smoke alternatives for their patients. This is a very interesting development, as the only edible alternative is the space cake so far…

I personally love the looks of the macarons! So cool! Yours, Fran

I lately noticed a lot of dairy product claims on the beauty shelfs. Things you would not expect in your facial cream!

For instance, Tony Moly’s Wonder Cheese firming cream contains extracts from Gruyere & milk protein.

The Face Shop has launcheed a “Fresh Milk” cream.

Or how would you like oats on your skin? South Korean beauty care company Missha dared to do it!
