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

Re-inventing fine fragrances – water based perfumes

When someone thinks of perfume the first thing that comes in mind is alcohol. The second thing might be oil, but no one ever thinks of water. In an attempt of total fragrance re-invention, three brands create organic water-based perfumes to prove that simplicity can be miraculous.

“SCENT IS LIFE”. For Christopher Brosius, the creator of CB I Hate Perfume, the point of a perfume is its scent. As he argues “Your sense of smell is one of the most important factors that defines you as YOU. Perfume is meant to be enjoyed.”

In his effort to create a fragrance that creates feelings and memories, Brosius used the challenging base of water and managed to mix it with oil even if it isn’t rather easy.

Other examples of water based perfumes are Eau Triple by Buly 1803, and Pure Rose and Pure Neroli by Behnaz.

Could the use of water instead of alcohol catch-on as consumers look for more ‘natural’ and ‘less harsh’ options?

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

blog, Bon Puf, cotton candy, flavor, fragrance, In-Imitable, Los Angeles, natural, organic, scent

Welcome to the original Bon PuF

Bon Puf 2

BON PUF! My favorite cotton candy creator from Los Angeles, California, brings delicious whimsy to any gathering with organic, all natural cotton candy – freshly made just for you! Putting a modern spin on things, they offer hand crafted signature flavors to delight and surprise peeps of all ages. The website already invites you to take a look around to see how to add some sweet magic to your next party or event.

Bon Puf 7

Cloe, the founder, had a blast completely redefining what cotton candy can be, and creating Bon Puf original creations! “Using only organic cane sugar, all natural flavors and colors, and a few unexpected ingredients, we’ve put a truly modern spin on this classic treat.”

Bon Puf 8

In line with this great marketing concept, Bon Puf also offers add-ons… such as sprinkles of edible glitter, stars, hearts, Pop Rocks, toppers like paper flowers, butterflies etc.

Bon Puf 6

Importantly, Bon Puf offer service packages, where the nice girls come around with the card in order to offer cotton candy privately. Perfect for instance for children’s birthdays, tea parties, showers, corporate parties, birthday bashes etc. I could also imagine private tasting sessions 😉

Bon Puf 5

This concept makes all my cotton candy dreams come true! Especially the vivid childhood memories of pink sugary clouds… Yours, Fran

I lately found out about this hip men’s grooming brand called Brooklyn Soap & Co.

Brooklyn Soap2

Founded in NYC, the 3 founders produce their entire product range in Germany and chose only great retail stores to sell their products.

Brooklyn-Soap-Europe

The brand is all about grooming products of organic quality. On their website they say “We neither believe in drugstore cosmetics nor in long labels listing never ending chemical gibberish. We cook home-style, with natural and organic ingredients. We are still at a very immature beta phase, nevertheless here are some insights on what madness we have in mind and what we’re all about.”

brooklyn-soap-vegan-beardwash-times-they-changin-06

“Our approach is pretty simple: turning all us regular dudes into dapper gentlemen. It all comes down to a comprehensive and simple line of cosmetic products. That’s why our product development is currently the only child we spoil the most.”

Brooklyn SoapWell, the guys seem to have fun with what they do, that’s for sure! And we love fun guys 😉

bitten: a food conversation

bio, Bitten, blog, congress, food, In-Imitable, New York, NYC, organic, perfume, scent

Just a quick note: there is this FOOD CONFERENCE on FEBRUARY 6, 2015 in NEW YORK CITY

BeetCukeSpread

With food officially a cultural obsession, the time seems ripe for Bitten, a new one-day conference on February 6th in NYC dedicated entirely to food innovation. With speakers from recognizable names like Exo, Smorgasburg, and The Infatuation, the event will touch on a range of areas, from sustainability to technology to philanthropy. But what makes Bitten different is its inclusive mantra, which casts a net wider than the professional food world to draw in a diverse crowd of food-loving influencers from all over. So if you love food, networking, and doing good (100% of profits go to Blue Marble Dreams), consider penciling it in.

RootVegPortrait083

On the Bitten website it says the following: “We all eat, but recently our relationship with food has become more complicated than ever before — often for the better, some times for the worse. In addition to all the questions we have about what is good for us and our planet and concerns in our ability to feed the growing population, we should remember that food is also tremendously fun. It’s a form of art and a space that’s innovating faster, and with more impact, than any other. That’s where bitten comes in…”

mushroomBon Appetit everyone 😉 and enjoy your weekend!

Yours, Fran
