artisan food fest is back this coming saturday the 17th of november

last month diane’s kitchen had her first review in a media…. and it was the miami herald tribune on the occasion of the artisan food festival.

i have to say, that we are very proud of that as we also received a great welcome from the community on that occasion.

we hope to see you again this coming saturday to try our quiches and cakes as well as some of our specialties such as the granola or the nougatine cookies!

we’ll be there all day long!

 

bike & buddy @ coral gables

this week-end, diane’s kitchen installed her table on the green of Ponce Circle Park to take part to Coral Gable Bike Day….

as it was a day dedicated to cycles, we prepared food easy to grab for people on their wells as well as people on their feet….

that’s why we have associated our name with buddy fruits, those great fruit pouches that are so easy to carry, store and eat…. but most importantly, that are so healthy and yummy….

this was a great day, our tasting experts loved the event, the music, the bouncing castle, not only the purple but also the pink, the yellow…. buddy fruits pouches and they left with sticky fingers, bouncy belly and a few missing muffins!

yes…. it was a great sunny day and even if we were too busy to have a look around we still had time to spot a beautiful purple bike that would be very useful for our deliveries….!

maybe the next post will be dedicated to bike again….!

artisan food fest….. great place, great people, great food!

yesterday, diane’s kitchen was participating to the artisan food fest which is a monthly event that takes place at the coral gable museum.

as it was our first time, we were thrilled and scared at the same time. i had spent 2 days cooking all my signature dishes but it was worth it as they really loved it….  we have been lucky too as the day was sunny and the customers really nice and interested in meeting all the producers.

and i have to say that i was too…. i wish i had more time to speak with all of them but i also had to get ready and then to serve the customers but by the end of the day, i went around with a few financiers and took the time to have a little chat and trade a few products….

as a result i came back with unusual vegetables such as snake gourds and purple haze carrots from mr. green dean as well as delicious home-made hummus with a strong tahine flavor…. my favorite!

i also brought back spiced dehydrated kale that made me think to my friend sybille who still lives in london and loves to try new vegan and raw food recipes. she used to dehydrate any veg or fruit she had in her kitchen!

and for our nanny whose mother loves new products, i could not resist to bring back one of the freakin’ flamingo preserves. the range of flavors is amazing, you have sugar free options as well as rum options…. just have a look at the website, you’ll want to go for it!

yes, it was a really great day and we look forward to participate to the next one! hope to see you there…
