Farmers from Africa joined the team at the Eden Project in Cornwall. A mutually beneficial scheme, it is designed to help farmers in Africa achieve a sustainable future, whilst educating people how to use the increasing demand for the baobab fruit to change lives for the better. The baobab fruit powder is available in the shop at the Eden Project and online.

It comes in a powder form and has more vitamin C than six oranges, more iron than spinach, more calcium than milk and gives you 50% of your RDA of dietary fibre. Due to the high levels of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants baobab is said to be a natural boost to health and may also aid the absorption of iron from food, which is really important for children when their bones are growing.  It is also believed that it can ward off winter colds, combat fevers, stomach upsets and can help as a general pick me up.

Early May, I had asked advice from Bright Grey about how to protect our financial future. We were lucky to get picked to have a personal chef cook a meal for us while my husband and I could have the time to chat about our financial future. We would like to thank Bright Grey for this fantastic experience!  They sent Sophie Wright to cook a meal for us while we discussed our finances. It has been a long time since my husband and I have had the opportunity to sit down and chat about it. It is not something we do very often as I normally don’t handle it.

Last month, I received an email to invite me for a dinner with Chobani. I was wondering who or what is Chobani as I had not heard or seen them before. So I went to Google them and found out that they make strained yoghurt. Their yoghurt are made with only naturally-sourced ingredients, free of preservatives and artificial flavours. It is also fat free, it includes 5 live & active cultures and have twice the protein of regular yoghurt. They are safe for those with nut and soy allergies and suitable for vegetarians.

Some of you might know that I was not brought up in this country.  When I first heard about Bonfire Night, I wondered if it is like how Little Britain did it in the show where people just burnt their old furniture. Of course, Bonfire is not about burning furniture but it is a celebration.

Last week, I was asked to go down to London for a very special mission!  I had no clue what it was about until I received a very well packaged box. I told myself do not open the box until I am home. Somehow I managed to resist opening it, but it was probably just as well as they may have been gone by the time I got home and the family would not have been happy with me! I am very excited to introduce you to the Pringles Limited Edition flavours: Mint Choc and Sweet Cinnamon!

>Christmas is coming soon and these two flavours have just come in time to celebrate the season! They both come in their usual size tubes.  If you have tried Pringles before, you will know each chip is nicely stack in the tin.  The unique new flavours lightly consistently cover each chip.

Since being a mum, I have to juggle between school runs, play dates, shopping and after school activities and to eat healthy is not an easy task. Ryvita has introduced 10 great-tasting and easy meals. They are so easy to prepare as you can dip it, dunk it and devour it. As I was hosting the #something special party on Thursday, I also did not forget about feeding the mothers.  I had laid out a dish of different types of Ryvita products.

Personally, I have not been to Brazil or tasted Brazilian cuisine before. I was glad that I was sent three jars of Rio Sauces- A Taste of Brazil sauces for review. I always love to try new and different sauces especially from a different continent. I would never say no to trying new foods!

I have to admit that cooking for an hour is really a long and painful process but I do love cooking healthy meals for my family. As Mr C works from home, I tend to cook for him too. It is also means I have less time to spend with children. They always know that when I cook, they are allowed to watch television or play computer games. The JUST ADD Squeezy Tubes range consists of squeezy Ginger, Coriander, Basil, Chilli, Garlic and Sun Dried Tomato and is available from ASDA and OCADO.

I had mentioned before that when I first came to England in 2002, my English ex-colleague introduced me to Walkers crisps and I never looked back. It is one of the best crisps I have ever had. It’s a scrumptiously thin crispy crisp. It makes my mouth water whenever I see someone eating it.  Every crisp is always so well-seasoned and tasty.

In April, I reviewed Scratch Singaporean Crayfish Laksa and Thai Green Curry.  I love these and would recommend them to anyone who are too busy but would still love to cook their own meals. They are much more authentic to Asian foods than any microwave meal. Now they have launched a new recipe: Vietnamese Chicken Ga Kho Gung. Living in Asia for most of my childhood, Asian food is always my first choice of food whenever I cook. I am so glad that I was given this new recipe to try.
