Teach your veggies.

Here's a powerful quote from the speech.

"The adults of the last four generations have blessed our children with the destiny of a shorter lifespan than their own parents. Your child will live a life ten years younger than you, because of the landscape of food we've built around them."

- Jaime Oliver, the Naked Chef, TED Prize wish speech

Wish me luck!

My friend Jen recently told about Savuer's Cover Contest. If you win your image gets printed on the cover of Saveur and you win a $500 6 piece Le Crueset set. Woot!

Here's the link to my image on Saveur's website click here and leave loads of comments.

Catching up from January.
So in January I got the chance to work with Ellen from Kate Hunter's Kitchen and Emory Healthcare. The folks from Emory Healthcare wanted to do some food shots to go along with the recipes on their website. It was important that we stayed true to the recipe and that the food actually tasted good. We had a lot of fun and got to snack on some tasty treats.
Below is the Blueberry Wake Up Shake.



Recipe:

Wake-Up Shake

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup ice cubes
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
1 tablespoon honey
1 (6-ounce) container vanilla low-fat yogurt
1 small banana
2 tablespoons low-fat granola without raisins

Combine blueberries and next 5 ingredients in a blender; process until smooth. Divide evenly between 2 glasses; top each serving with 1 tablespoon granola. Serve immediately. Yield: 2 servings (serving size: 1 cup).

Enjoy!
