THE CHOCOLATE REVOLUTION
Posted by lyle | Filed under Film + Video, Food + Drink, Have to Have
These dudes are not f#@*%ing around. The Mast brothers have… Mast-ered their craft to say the least. They have revived the rustic artisan ways of old world chocolate making and made it fresh and exciting – spearheading what they call the “The chocolate revolution”. And it is nothing short of that. This duo employ only the most hands on and meticulous methods when producing their product – from hand wrapping each individual bar with rustic hand printed butcher paper, to literally sailing their own cocoa beans in from South America and Africa. The brothers come from different backgrounds but share one unique common goal – to produce the most authentic and cared for chocolate in their city.
The Mast brother chocolate factory is located in the heart of Williamsburg on Berry and North 3rd, and you can pick their product up at any number of places throughout the city and throughout the country as far as San Francisco.

HOW TO MAKE FRESH MOZZARELLA by {LUXIRARE}
Posted by Aeric | Filed under Fashion, Film + Video, Food + Drink
Food + fashion…what’s not to love? That fresh mozzarella looks delicious and those gloves are hot. They come off when it comes to getting down to business, but in the end, I guess it’s right that the quality of the real live end product should win out over a sexy image. Plus the gloves are one of a kind, so… More sartorial and culinary intrigue at the addictive and beguiling Luxirare.

SPRING FLING
Spring is upon us and it’s all about cleaning and shedding. A quick juice fast is beneficial to everyone not just those looking to eliminate winter belly as we prep for bikini season. There’s more to fasting with fresh pressed juice than just looking healthier; a detoxification of the body is essential every now and then, fasting allows the digestive organs to get some much needed rest, it provides cures to many health problems and gives you revitalizes energy. Studies show more than 10% of the body’s energy is normally involved in eating and digesting. Combine that with a daily intake of natural ingredients proven to supply you with energy you’ll have enough stamina to get you through how ever many days of fasting you commit to.

BORICUA BEANS BY {TOP CHEF – CAMILLE BECERRA}

BORICUA BEANS by Camille Becerra
As a child I grew up on rice and beans, by that I mean everyday. A few years ago I was watching a Barbara Walter’s special or some other similar celebrity interview program in which sexy boricua Jennifer Lopez at the height of the “Jenny from the Block” craze was being featured. She was demonstrating her cooking chops to America by making beans. A fellow boricua cooking, I had to watch. Sadly it was a mess, I couldn’t believe my eyes, first she dumped a can of Goya beans into a pot then filled the empty can with water and added it to the beans. Beans are not Campbell soup. Afterwards she made a big deal about a secret ingredient, I got really excited as I thought someone was about to spread light to the backbone of all Puerto Rican cookery, sofrito. But instead she pulled out Sasson; this little orange packet is what I like to refer to as P.R.M.S.G. The producers did right by not highlighting the end result of this soupy, two ingredient version of Puerto Rican beans. They did however show her serving it to Ben Affleck her hottie at the time, I expected more from an Oscar award-winning actor in covering up the slight dissatisfaction.

I also make it a point to go to Kalustyan’s spice traders on Lexington between 28 & 29th for their aphrodisiac tea to serve to each lover after their meal. Its a smashing day to visit your favorite restaurant as most of them prepare a special Valentine’s menu focusing on foods that arouse. Read the rest of this entry »
