Summer @FoodFete: A Smashing Success
Food Fete Summer was amazing! Even though the weather was nothing ‘summer like’ – the energy of all the exhibitors got me very excited for summer and all the yummy foods to look forward to. With over 50 brands available, Fatema and I will highlight some of the vendors that caught my eye and will post about each of them throughout summer.
Here is what you missed:
“A sampling of what you’ll experience includes artisan cheeses and butters, chocolates, snacks, sauces, frozen desserts, crackers, ocean raised salmon, lamb and more.”
So unbelievably yumm from @RWGarciaSnacks
Nutrition expert Julie Daniluk with Hemp Hearts (Lil Raspberries on a Fig boat!)
Who knew Minute Rice could be so delicious? Coconut sticky rice made from Minute Rice
Mini chicken and waffles!
Wafer thin cookies that are just perfect for everything from @34degrees
See you at the next FOOD FETE! -
Fun @FoodFete NY @SomersaultSnack @jonessodaco @earthboundfarm
I went to Food Fete this week to preview healthy snacks and foods new on the market. It was delicious, well attended and really well organized.
Do you know all the cool things you can make with California figs? Yum. They are an excellent source of fiber and they contain potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese! Hard to match by any other fruit really.
These Hemp Milks are sensational in smoothies and perfect for anyone who is lactose intolerant or want to rid diary in their diet
You can put Hemp Hearts in your breakfast, yogurt or even smoothies (like i had this morning!)
Lately, I have been nuts about Pecans and the way they taste in salads with strawberries and goat cheese.
Somersaults are the new snack that are salty in just the right amount made of sunflower seeds. They taste so good and is a perfect pairing for tea, coffee or even beer.
Jones Soda has a new drink! I’ts Jones Soda Au Naturel. Only 35 Calories. Amazing!
Seems like someone at Earthbound Farms heard my prayers and pureed all the things I need for cooking and never end up using in a tube that lasts 3 months!Can’t wait til the next Food Fete in June!

Divine and Delicious Chocolat @FoodFete
After much anticipation and pages and pages of my day planner, Nov 10 finally came and I was off to Food Fete’s Chocolat extravaganza! At HeyDoYou we are no strangers to chocolate. We were at the Chocolate Ball in 07 and 08, Bella made a chocolate cake, chocolate x whiskey, obsession with Max Brenner, the muggy cake
Delicious chocolatiers from all over were exhibiting their craft and there was a great mix of people and cacao!
Chef Espiritu with Valrhona
We had the opportunity to enjoy some new chocolates and meet with the chocolatiers. One of the best guided tasting experiences I have ever had with CHOCOLATE.
David Lurie talks about ‘Sun Cups’ – nut free sunflower seed + chocolate cups! www.sethellischocolatier.com
Divine Chocolate, fair trade chocolate owned in part by the farmers of Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana. So amazing.
The symbols on the Divine chocolate wrappers are traditional West African Adinkra symbols that mean strength, destiny, leadership, family etc…
Can you see me in the frenzy?

Food Fete
Did you know that 9% of all adults are allergic to gluten? Americk and I went to Food Fete to check out new Foods for People with food allergies and learned so much! After tasting everything from cookies to pastas to sandwiches and yogurt… I realized that there are so many other alternatives than to what mainstream products we may buy at regular grocers. There were over 15 vendors and we had a great time. The best thing besides all the free food was the opportunity talk and really understand the purpose behind gluten free. I will be highlighting each of the products and brands throughout spring – Read the labels people!
the nice girls from Chobani Yogurt
Get this at Costco.. yumm!
