In Japan, having lunch prepared for school is never just a sandwich and a bag of chips. It's a work of art called a bento box, and among parents, it's considered to be shameful to not have a bento box that looks mediocre.

When I am running my chocolate workshops I always have some cocoa beans, nibs and cocoa butter that I show my students they are often amazed when I tell them top chefs have been using cacao nibs in their recipes for some time and now it’s time for them to get working in your own dishes with them.

Even if you're a huge fan of cooking, enjoying good meals in this fast-paced world isn't always easy. There are times where planning out family meals can become too hectic or filled with too many options. Sometimes, it's too hard to actually squeeze in time to run to the grocery story and do all the planning. Other times, trying to order lunch at the office turns difficult because you simply don't know what restaurants are around you.

What Do Cocoa Percentages Tell Us?
As a chocolatier and chocolate expert I get asked a lot about working with chocolate, especially chocolate with a high cocoa percentage. Once upon a time chocolate bars didn’t mention the percentage, but now most chocolate bar labels, recipes and even many restaurant menus proudly declare the amount of cocoa present, be it 55% milk chocolate, 70%, 85%, or more. What does all of this mean, and how does the amount of cocoa used vary between white milk, dark chocolate, and all of those other types?
David Greenwood-HaighPublished 7 years ago in FeastBenefits of Bone Broth
Unfortunately in the growing world of superfruits and dietary supplements, the health benefits of bone broth have become lost in the mix. Bone broth is a nutritional staple in many cultures that has been used medicinally for centuries. It is very similar to stock and to broth. Broth is made by simmering meat for about an hour, and creates a very thin, protein filled liquid. Stock is created by cooking roasted bones for about 3 or 4 hours. Bone broth however, is produced by simmering bones for 24-48 hours with the intention of releasing trace amounts of minerals stored deep within the bones.
