A Personal Chef Can Keep You Healthy
Many professional athletes take every possible step to reach their optimum level of health and to maximize the intake of the proper vitamins and minerals that the body needs to operate at a high level day in and day out. However as people become more in tune with the improvements that a good diet can have on ones health dietitians and personal chef services become increasingly sought after. The increase in this focus on diet as an improvement on total health is three fold. It increases the human bodies ability to sustain energy over long periods of time, lowers the overall effects of stress on the body and allows faster recovery. Many times a diet can and will be personalized and changed and chef’s may be directed differently depending on the specific situations or goals that the person has in mind. Nutritionists and trained personal chef’s alike can be key (more…)

How to Find The Best Personal Chef on Vacation
Being a personal chef in Hawaii I have had first hand experience working with both good and bad chefs. Many of my clients are world-wide travelers and have told me that they wished they had some insider tips to finding a reputable and trust worthy chef while on vacation.

Great Food Traveling The Country
So, you all have heard I am doing a cross country trip with my family for the month of December 12 – January 12th 2012. We’re ringing in the New Year in Austin, Texas – celebrating the Festival of Lights in Arlington and Great Falls, VA and Christmas in Washington DC! My husband’s birthday will fall somewhere between New York City (where we’re eating for a few days) and Chicago… In the meantime I am keeping copious food notes via Foodspotting when I have a brief moment of internet and/or clarity. Thus far, the 22nd of December, I realize I haven’t posted since 2 weeks before my trip began (and the crunch of getting ready to go!) So here’s my news and a link to get you on the journey, with me. You can also check out my twitter stream – I’m mControl and happy to be your guide this (more…)
Holiday Challah! Gluten-Free Style Channukah Treat
Gluten-free challah represents a bit of a ‘Holy Grail’ for #GF Jews. There’s no obvious substitute for tearing apart and sharing bread with your friends and family, and for many who are gluten intolerant, it becomes painfully obvious each Friday at sundown when they must hover for Shabbat prayers around a cutting board bearing a hot, delicious braided challah.
One writer stated, “The first time I had to sing the hamotzi over a rice cracker while everyone else ripped apart the bread, I cried.”
Edited to add: I was recently ‘schooled’ on my #GF flours – and spelt is a TYPE OF WHEAT!!! Leave it to the non-GF girlfriend to blow it! So it is NOT GF! Further… my Tom Sawyer Flour is made of RICE flour (I suppose that’s sort of an ancient grain) not spelt, at all. And while I could simply change all the text to reflect (more…)
Breakfast For Health - Smart Children, Healthy Breakfast
Parents, from generations, have been telling their kids to have a healthy breakfast. Medical Science has now confirmed it that children who eat healthy breakfast show better progress in education and sports in comparison to those who do not. Healthy children, in other words, have a habit of eating nutritious breakfast food. In this one of my many breakfast articles, I would try to explain why breakfast is important for children health.
Quick Fix
Unlike most other meals that we prepare, making breakfast does not ask for a lot of time, and a high level of expertise. It is a portable meal. Your child can grab a healthy bit on his way to school. Believe it or not, but breakfast is definitely the most FLEXIBLE meal of the day.
Nutritional Aspect
Often, due to our busy schedules, we fail to include high fiber food in our meals. This, however, is (more…)
Food Photography Is MORE than Just Good Food
We devour our food first with senses other than taste before we actually try a dish. So I’m fair certain I don’t have to tell you how important it is to take great food photos, particularly if you are writing a foodie blog. I know I eat first with my eyes and it’s much harder to get me all hot and bothered over a dish if an unappetizing photo sits next to it. Just like in a restaurant – if the dish presented looks incredible you begin salivating before lifting your fork – you want to photograph it to remember its perfection and when you look back at that photo on your iPhone, you hope the lighting is able to show your friends just how good the dish actually was.
I know tons of blog writers feel that they don’t have the time or perhaps even, the proper resources to (more…)

A Very Proper Maui Scone *Recipe*
For weeks I’ve been wanting to make scones. Just plain old, traditional (very proper) scones. You know the kind? You find them in England and Scotland – and sometimes, if you’re lucky, at your local patisserie. We live on a very non-proper island, in the middle of the pacific ocean. Our home rests in the side of a dormant volcano at about 1600 feet from sea level, (though our views of that sea level are quite fantastic). I am always hesitant to try out baking recipes for the first time, in a new oven, unless I have a whole bunch of time and willing victims, of course. This morning was just such a time. We have a houseful of guests and family members – plus, it’s Sunday! What better day to bring something out fresh from the oven?
Most scones in our country, (that’s the US – BTW), are loaded (more…)
