Hi everyone
Hope to see you all at Whole Foods in Montclair, NJ today from 11am to 3 pm for Ithaca Hummus Product Demo.
Recently I was approached by the owner of a beautiful antique store in Montclair to cater food for her clients. I had to come up with a menu that matched several palettes since her clients belonged to different cultures and so she wanted variety in terms of a menu plan.
I suggested we do:
Appetizers:
Brussel Sprouts Kebabs with marinated Indian Cottage Cheese/ Paneer and colored bell peppers.
Lentil Soup shots:) in shot glasses.
Main Course:
Vegetable Quinoa Pilaf with Pecans
Curried Cauliflower with cumin, peas and carrots
Vegetarian Thai Green Curry
Both the owner of the store and her husband thanked me at the end of the event and graciously appreciated the food. The sense of appreciation you get from clients give you so much of satisfaction and encouragement to do more !!
Stay tuned for more events this month! Cheers to more fun events!
Come and meet me at Whole Foods in Montclair on 4/2/16 and 4/3/16 from 11am-3pm
for product demos for Ithaca Hummus in NY.
Hope to see you all!
On March 19th at 2 pm I taught a cooking class to an awesome bunch of people.
The theme was healthy vegetarian and Whole Foods wanted me to keep it healthy and quick. So I came up with the dish – Brussel Sprouts with curried tofu and bright peppers served on a bed of Bulgur Wheat.
Reason to pick Bulgur Wheat:
Now Bulgur wheat is very wholesome grain when compared to rice, has more fiber and proteins and most importantly has low glycemic index. It also contains higher levels of most vitamins and minerals.
Reason for picking Brussel Sprouts:
Brussel Sprouts belong to family of green leafy vegetables. It contains sulfurophane, a phytochemical which contains anticancer properties.
Important Note: Boiling Brussel Sprouts may result in lowering the level of sulfurophane so sauteing or steaming or roasting would be a great way to cook them.
Brussel Sprouts also contain high amounts of Vitamin K and C and moderate amounts of Vitamin B like Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid.
I completely enjoyed teaching how to make the dish and hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did!
