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.

Our Top NY Sexy Chef Camille Becerra tells me that there is nothing sexier then preparing an elaborate full course meal for that special person… Making every dish with care & love. As each sauce is an influence of yourself, each dish requires specific attention and, dedication. She continues to tell me … You want your guest to experience a meaningful dish, memorable that when you take that first bite you are enchanted! To tell you the truth, she was sensationally mind blowing when she was describing this process to me that I myself was salivating by this point!! Her charm alone was captivating and her eloquent description of a “sexy dish” was even more tantalizing.
I asked Camille to select one of her favorite dishes and share with us, as well as the viewers of Karin + Raoul… Although she feels each individual is different and has a distinct taste requirement - she was gracious enough to bestow upon us one of her favorite recipe yet. Please take the time to take notes and run to the grocery men, women alike and stir this up with love… YES… Just for your mate!!!
