Glitter beers | Nice gimmick for events
14-3-2018
Several breweries in America and England have experimented with glitters! Three Weavers Brewing Company out in California and the Bold Missy Brewery in North Carolina all launched glitter beers. Indeed, beer with edible glitters. Totally safe and perfect to share on social media. This Saturday, it’s St. Patricks Day and we even spotted a green, glitter beer! We wonder whether the Dutch would like to drink an orange glitter beer for their King’s Day?
Mermaid Latte | Your bright blue morning latte
8-3-2018
The Mermaid Latte mix by Nutra Organics is both a healthy and Instagrammable beverage. This Mermaid Latte mix is made from a combination of sea minerals, blue Spirulina, matcha blue butterfly pea flower, Manuka honey, adaptogenic herbs, like ashwaganda, Siberien Ginseng, liquorice and milk thistle and Ayurvedic chai spices, like ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, star anise, cayenne powder and black pepper. According to Nutra Organics this latte doesn’t taste like sushi with all the sea ingredients, the taste must be like a spicier version of a chai latte. The powder can be used in all kinds of milks, like dairy, soy, almond or creamy coconut milk.

Pasta | From Donut alla Bolognese to spaghetti ice cream
21-2-2018
A year ago we ate at restaurant Contraste in Milan a truly delicious ‘Donut alla Bolognese’, a dish you won’t forget! The nice thing is that the dish puts you on the wrong track, only the resemblance in the shape reminded me of a donut. You can do many things with pasta and in this article I have collected a number of examples. Now I have to admit that a number of ‘hip, trendy’ pasta dishes have been known for a long time, for example I used to make a ‘spaghetti alla Carbonara’- pie in my student days. And my student days have been behind me for several decades! On our Pinterest page we made an ‘Italian Inspiration’ wall with photos and videos of various trendy pasta dishes. What do you think of a ’30 feet long pasta strand’ or spaghetti served from a Parmigiano cheese wheel? Or spaghetti tacos, cupcakes or ‘rainbow spaghetti’? ^Marjolein

Voice Chocolate | Inspiration for Valentine’s Day from Japan

The chocolates from Voice Chocolate are all unique chocolates made on the basis of your voice. The idea came from the Japanese telecom company NTT DoCoMo, especially for Valentine’s Day 2017. People could record a short message through an app that is eventually formed into chocolate. The recipient scanned this message in the unique chocolate bar in a AR app that reads the design and plays the original message.
