At lunch: Pat Branning Lowcountry honors in the new edition of the cookbook

Life has a funny way of taking us where we never thought it would.

When Pat Branning created a collection of recipes as a spiral fundraising for the Episcopal Church of St. Helena in 2009, had no idea he took his life in a whole new direction.

Of course, cooking and stories have always been an important part of life Branning. Weaned traditional southern food and hospitality, loved to cook and entertain, and after graduating from the University of Georgia, began his career as editor of Women for WSB Radio in Atlanta, encourage a daily program for food and entertainment.

When she and her husband moved to Beaufort, he went as a host of educational television from South Carolina to work, and brought his passion for cooking and entertaining throughout. She even wrote on the side for a number of regional publications.

Write a cookbook, not in themselves a route. But she never thought that this book would change his life.

Visionary called "shrimp, cabbage and grits", the collection of small spiral was quickly sold out a success, and decided (taken from a greeting that welcomed him to the island of the Virgin in 1971) Branning, revise the book in one volume more sustainable.

When she began to think of a cover design, I immediately thought of the timeless work of his old friend, the artist Ray Ellis.

If Ellis had not seen in a while, she gathered her courage and called the gallery to inquire about the use of one of his paintings. After learning that the permission to one of these paintings reproduce a substantial fee in order, the director asked to approach him anyway, but hung up without much hope.

But a few days later and the conversation turned director announced, "Ellis said," Give him what he wants! "

Photo Branning chose "Landing Oyster", because he remembered his old house overlooking the river in Beaufort Pleasant Point Plantation on the island of Virgin.

Filled with stories and recipes from your home Lowcountry this new hardcover edition began in 2011 and still a bestseller. His success made him realize that he was still telling stories, and beyond that there is a public to hear.

He also realized that he needed help with the final design and commercial matters. She has a son, Andrew Branning, a designer and photographer in computer science, and jointly launched Branning Publishing, Inc.

The first fruit of their collaboration was "Magnolia, porches, & Sweet Tea", a lifestyle cookbook with the best of art and cuisine of the Lowcountry. It was in 2013 as the first of a planned series of books, created the art and cuisine of the region.

When Ray Ellis died decided last year that the next book in the series Brannings was to be a tribute to the beloved artist. This tribute has had a beautiful new edition of the book he presented his work ", shrimp, cabbage, and liberal."

With the subtitle "The Ray Ellis Edition", presents this lavishly illustrated volume not only the work of Ellis, but also other local artists as well as art by some of the best chefs in the region.

Scattered between art and income only anecdotal vignettes of the history of the region, as well as memories are to have Branning, and receive the reflection about the only way the Lowcountry cooking, and living simply.

Meanwhile, the team of mother and child is

Do not sit, but is already planned for the next book. How Branning sentence, "Lowcountry's a place of infinite stories that rise put myself in time in amazement."

You may not even know where these stories are going to take, but she knows the journey will be delicious.

The book edition Ray Ellis "shrimp, cabbage and grits" by Pat Branning (Branning Publishing, Inc., $ 39.95), in bookstores and specialty shops is a gift. For more information or to buy books online Branning, go to www.patbranning.com.

The cookbook bites bites

This story of a little book on the small meal is a reminder that the little things are the things that count.

Our life has sometimes bites. Bites are a meal, 3 meals a day our daily lives. Food is the one thing we all have in common. Food is a common experience, that's how we celebrate. Food is life.

In addition, the new small. Tiny is environmentally friendly. Small things are cute. In fact, this book could be the smallest kitchen in the world. The book bites snack recipes to make you in the palm of the hand, a little less than 2 inches high, with 20 fun, easy appetizer recipes with cute and clever photography.

I have been cooking since I was 10, maybe even earlier. When I was little, I imagine recipes, every night before bed. My first job was in a restaurant. I liked it so much I stayed for 7 years before photography. Mi whole life revolves around food. I'm always experimenting in the kitchen, food gifts to friends, talk about the latest restaurant and my favorite farmer's market.

On the other hand, I am a food photographer for over a decade. My photography business, photo kitchen was created from my love of food and photography. There is no formula for the perfect shot. But there is a recipe. The spark of an idea, drive and determination to get there, and to help others. I have a million ideas a day. Sometimes an idea hits me and not let go. This cookbook is one of those ideas.

The cookbook is stitches about 1 3/4 inches high and 1 1/2 inches wide, bite 52 pages and includes 20 photos and recipes adapted for this book. You are child-friendly and simple, just the cute little bad foods to eat fun and good taste to do.

Craft color paperback books are printed in thick 140 # cover weight with a dark brown typographic design by a local company Igloo book in Columbus, Ohio made the French. The inner sides (now obtained by printing solutions) are tissue-paper # 80 for a shiny, durable finish. The necklaces and ornaments are bound inserted with a small band in the back of the book.

Each book comes with a magnifying glass and a digital copy, which makes it easy to read if you like to cook. Estimated delivery all cookbooks is the first week in December.

Who would send a small cookbook recipes little want?

Children, doll houses have to hold Teddy Bear Tea Parties. Gourmets. Collectors cookbook. Anyone who loves cooking or entertaining food. Minimalist. Lovers of the little things. Photographer. Cats. (Actually they do, my cats are tested.) This is the perfect Christmas gift and would be a unique themed birthday party included with a gift.

Why self-publishing?

Since there is no formula for a cookbook in this small, no publisher will take on this project without modification. To get a fully customizable product in every detail, from the design of the cover of the size, the type of work is printed on receipts, companies that produce them ... no one way to do it, and it is by -Publishing car.

Why $ 8,500?

I would not be financed in the situation, the production of this book alone. Your support helps offset the cost of prototypes, the first drawing, Studio on the beach, grocery stores, accessories, acceptance tests, design and cut. $ 8,500 is the magic number in equilibrium. More importantly, Kickstarter is here to test an idea that it wants to see more than one person.

Here is a quick guide to check some of the tomatoes from the most popular and interesting heritage which can be seen on the farm now, or you can grow in your garden next year. Descriptions courtesy of Heidi and Bobbi Clark Clark Hunt Farms in Jefferson and Damariscotta.

Black Prince - Small, brown to black with juicy fruit that originates red tomato in Siberia; grows well in colder climates. "A tomato steaming chocolate," Chase said.

Cherokee Purple - intense purple red fruit desired as one of the tastiest of all assets; first grown by the Cherokee Indians. "A sweet and smoky character," Chase said.

Mortgage Lifter - originally from West Virginia and, according to legend, tomatoes huge, helped the farmers who first raised the house payment.

Orange beef heart - Attractive large yellow-orange fruit with firm flesh, useful for both cutting and cooking; yellow tomatoes and oranges are less acidic than red in the rule.

Brandywine Red - Grand disfigured fruit each two pounds; "A taste of real old tomatoes down-home, a great sauce it," Chase said. "People love it."

German Stripes - Big fruit often wears distinctive red stripes on yellow. "One of my personal favorites with low acidity, but a lot of flavor," Chase said. "Beautiful on the plate."

Valencia - medium yellow fruit that is soft and sweet with a small number of seeds and good for cooking. "It's as close to a form of Rome can be reached with a legacy," Clark said.

Varieties of heirloom tomato offer a taste of the past

Bobbi Chase Bauer makes sense of color in blue jeans, a blue scarf and shirt, as they moved through the rows of dark green heirloom tomato varieties Clark Farms, a small family farmhouse in rural Jefferson, Maine.

The work of the fields seven days a week during the growing season - "I need a tent and I never go home," jokes here in late summer. tends above all to 1,700 heirloom tomato plants, which quickly passes as described:

Cherokee Purple Back to the Cherokee Indians; Red Wines Brandy slightly above two pounds; Boxcar Willie and she grew up in this year, "mainly because we the name."

Heirloom tomatoes are the historical types of fruit which have not been crossed with modern commercial purposes. They broke out of the vineyard and Offscreen farm stand with an amazing variety of colors - yellow, orange, purple, ruby, brown, and stripes - and often distorted odd shapes. Each traditional variety has its own flavor and history.

"You have an exotic nature, the only fascinating look they are interesting," said Tim Wiechmann, chef and owner of TW Food in Cambridge.

Heirloom tomatoes are also less resistant to disease and less productive cultivated as a perfectly round red tomatoes commercially you see stacked in the aisles. They are prone to cracking and scarring before they are ripe, a phenomenon called Chase "cat face."

Regardless, heirloom tomatoes are enjoying a resurgence in popularity in New England and across the country, thanks to people like Robert Chase and owner "Jigger" Heidi Clark and farmhouse; and thank you for ordinary consumers, who are willing to pay a little more for a traditional food source, to return a farm or a close neighbor.

In general, inheritances meat-fruit are sweet and best eaten fresh soon after harvest; but some varieties are good for cooking.

The Clarks sell their tomatoes in a beautiful kiosk Red Road Damariscotta farm. But they are easy to find legacies around Boston in late summer.

Chew on this granola bar recipe

These granola bars are rich and slightly sweet home. (Photo: James Reid)

Lately, I've lost most of my creativity to pack snacks and meals of my son. I am in the first trimester of my second pregnancy and say that I do not feel very good, the food was not a priority, and fell back quickly and easily into the family favorites. One good thing about cooking is always less cleaning the kitchen floors clean!

I've been experimenting with a variety of homemade granola bars last year, but I have not found one I like so far! I changed homemade granola bar recipe in my life for food and came up with this Chewy Chocolate Chip granola bars and raisins.

I love that these bars are soft (unlike many recipes that I've tried) and a sweet taste, but not overpowering combination of maple syrup, chocolate chips and raisins. These bars I packed snacks for me and my son.

We were on vacation last week, a kind of case-the calm before the storm. From the moment we made our reservation a few months ago, I began to think of it as our "week" holidays: before In the week before school starts, in the week that the reality reduced before the new job is going crazy transforms the life, as it seems to do every September, in a series of slopes and soccer practice and cello lessons, and - most importantly, at least in this house - in the week before the new book Jenny, dinner.

One of our friends who had just opened a preliminary copy describes it as - "OH EM GEE, it is so nice !!!!!!!!!" was his actual quote - and I must say, she's right. I know I'm biased, but it is a "bullshit pleasure: small, warm and colorful and beautifully landscaped We had a copy of it on our counter for a solid month now, and - in what I considered a very good sign - I feel happy every time I see it (see above, re: bias, but still.)..

As with any business, there is a difference between the creative use of a model and the logic of the model to understand. Cooking is no different. Recipes offer us the comfort of measurement, management and leadership, which is something delicious predictable. Sometimes it is necessary to find alternatives to accidentally discover the ingredients or methods something delicious. We look at our grandmothers and block.

What's for dinner? (With recipes)

When Lynn Donihe, Special occasions are celebrated with food. So when the seventh year for her youngest began this week, she asked him what he would like as a festive dinner. Asked cranberry sandwiches French immersion crumble for dessert, a recipe that Lynn's mother to make it, when I was a child.

But the start of the school of Reid was not the only major event of the week. His older brother, the mountain is today Hampden-Sydney College. Hill asked lamb meatballs with yogurt sauce Moroccan sausage and pita bread. And to go to college is almost as big of a milestone as it is the Donihes ate lamb dish not once, but three times this week.

Lynn said that she found the recipe, there are four or five years and was one of the first decisions for Hill.

It is quick to do, he said. Simply mix the lamb with spices - cumin, coriander, pepper, paprika - then fry. Raita has coriander and cumin. "It costs just very, very happy."

Lynn shops often Grandin Village Community Market on Saturday. That's where I learned of the planned spectacle lamb. This week bought the farm heritage lamb Samnana a regular supplier to the world market.

I asked why Lynn make a special meal to celebrate a special day? "I do not know. Foods in this house has always been a big, big problem," says Lynn. "I love to cook and my family loves to eat it. Joins food just so many great memories and so many good times with the family."

So good and so true.

Someone else a dinner return to school? Or have a tradition of eating back to school (eg, going out for ice on the first day of class)? What are the food of their college kids will miss most when you are away? (Lynn also help from scratch homemade sausages and soft drinks, remember the hills that tastes like home.)

Finally, thanks for all your comments on the grains. The more you hate it like that., But for many it was an acquired taste. Many of you have told me that cooking beans with chicken or shrimp stock take my prescription to a whole new level.

My favorite answer was Laurie Powell Ward, lick exceptional baker restore spoon (see their incredible cheesecake cups of coffee and tea). Cereal, she wrote: "If they do not so creamy as mashed potatoes, what it is right" Good orientation, that's for sure!.

Keep the ideas coming!

Now for the recipes Lynn Donihe. She shared recipes for special dinners and Reid Hill.

Pulled pork tacos with grilled corn on the cob

Pulled pork with baked potatoes (which is great for cooking potatoes with pork), topped with sour cream and crispy sage

Grill vegetables

Not very often, I say, but crickets are not just for meat! Grilling vegetables and slow cooking on the grill gives them a nice smoky flavor. I like to use the soft vegetables such as peppers, onions and eggplant, or thinly sliced fennel parties, sweet potatoes or pumpkin.

Corncob

The most popular vegetables to grill is corn on the cob. Just pull on the grill and every few minutes to turn soft. Spits softens fine. Serve hot with salted butter.

Asparagus

Asparagus takes literally seconds to cook. As soon as meatloaf cooked in a pair of boots of asparagus on the grid. Keep an eye on them, shoot every 20 seconds. Should be carried out in less than three minutes. Pop on a plate, sprinkle with salt and a little butter.

Pepper

Pop two whole peppers on the side of the grill while the grill away. Slowly rotate. Paprika take a little longer and are juicy and delicious sliced or eaten as is in salads. No seasoning required.

A plastic film, potatoes

Take a potato per person. Give Pop the potatoes in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Hands dirty cup and give you a good sauce. Make sure that all the potatoes are coated with a good oily salt. Wrap each potato individually in paper and throw it directly on the coals just before the grill on. After 20 minutes, the potatoes were again. Leave on for 15-20 minutes, depending on size of potatoes and a warm fire. Poke a skewer through a potato; as it slides over the ease with which they! Keep them packed before serving in a container. It is easier if the customer unpacking.

Stuffed Pumpkin

Pumpkin cooked on the grill is to eat one of my favorite things. In order to do this right, especially if you do a barbecue, make a separate ground fire or coals just for cooking potatoes Squash / / onions. I like to make a sweet and tasty option.

1 pumpkin should serve six to eight people. With good coals, the cooking time is about 45-60 minutes, turning a few times.

Squash lengthwise with a large knife blade independent specialist and seeds.

Fill empty pockets with one of the following: the feta cheese and hummus, or syrup and peanut butter.

Close the pumpkin, to do everything again. Tightly wrapping with two layers of aluminum foil.

Directly on coals.

Cook until tender, about 45 minutes. You need to turn on only a few times during cooking.

To serve, pack and removes the stuffed squash and distributed in bags. Slice and serve hot. The residues that make a great salad the next day.

It is a real treat and should be given a chance. Very rewarding, perhaps the best thing to your grill!

More ideas:

Cook for 20 minutes over the coals - papillote, peeled onions, but left whole

Slices of sweet potato with honey in the pockets of leaves

Vegetables skewers on a stick - I love with softer vegetables like zucchini, peppers, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes; Previously, then brush with oil brush with butter halfway through cooking

Great corners grilled pineapple and down very well, especially with barbecue sauce and chicken

Summer Fruit Punch

Summer Fruit Punch (in a bucket)

This blow packs a punch and it definitely is a little fruity. Best little eating fruits soaked all the alcohol base of the bowl.

They are 10 liters (2.5 gallons) of nature, Milton or sterilized with boiling water need.

Ingredients

Small watermelon skin and diced

1 pineapple, peeled, cored and diced

4 potatoes, peeled and diced

Four alternative fruits such as pears or plums, diced (just do not use the banana)

A few handfuls of fresh mint

1 bottle of white wine, something not too dry

One 1.5-liter bottle of soda / Sprite / 7UP

1 bottle (use apple juice if you like a sweet cocktail) soda water or apple juice

Ice, much of it

Method

Sterilize the bucket of boiling water. To crisp on the outside to demonstrate the use of the cigarette paper. Choose something bright and colorful - just like the beat!

Cut the fruit, but do not forget, a separate cutting board for those who used to use to cut the garlic!

Chopped fruit, all liquid (keep some back, if you want to adjust the taste), most fruits and stir in most of the Currency (retaining part of the decoration).

Stir and let stand Give everything good for an hour or two to meet and marry for all.

Just before the guests arrive give you a taste and a touch more alcohol or mixer if necessary. Then stacked on ice to cool the mixture.

Fill the bucket with ice for effect.

Organize your glasses next to the bucket and "help" fishy. To really cool to use old jam jars and paper straw colored glass.

Sprinkle on the remaining fruit and mint, looking to serve pretty.

Tip Top

Make enough glasses with sparkling border of sugar:

Moisten rims juice cocktail mix or with lemon or lime. Or, to use a colored berries like cassis liqueur.

Dip the moistened rim into a plate of sugar.

If you really have the time, dip in egg first produce sugar dipped rim.

Marshmallow House

Marshmallows house

What surprised when he bites his domestic marshmallows. There is a certain quality and texture achieved by placing your own, bought all the store marshmallows exceed. We want to use rose water instead of vanilla - it's like a super-sweet Turkish delight!

Note that you will need a candy thermometer.

200 ml (1 cup) water

Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff beat.

Gradually add the gelatin in the hot sugar. Mixing, but be careful because it can easily boil over. In container to facilitate the casting.

While the eggs beating, slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the bowl. The mixture is pale and begins to thicken. Add rose extract and continue beating for 10 minutes or until well retains its shape.

Grease baking, sprinkle with icing sugar and corn flour and pour in the mixture of whipped marshmallow one back. Flatten with a wet knife and allow for one or two hours at room temperature.

I'm 25, but I never've managed to get the whole thing "cooking" below. I think this is mainly due to lack of effort. Almost all the meals I is well laid out, frozen or other simple way (without further preparation as a sandwich, for example).

However, I am interested in cooking more and learn how normal people (especially people who are trying to lose weight, like me) to live.

I'm putting in the spirit of breakfast and so I want to hear your suggestions for healthy recipes that I eat for dinner or work with me for lunch (refrigerator and microwave available). Must meet the following criteria:

-. Vegetarian'm not a big fan of eggs or mushrooms, but almost everything else is fair game.
-. Diet-friendly I have no dietary restrictions (eg gluten), but want to keep low calories, while incorporating healthy fats, protein and lots of vegetables. The easier it is for me track of calories to keep better.
-. Easy to prepare, I have very little experience in the kitchen, so I start small. Also, I do not think whether it actually "prepared." "Cooking," which can only be
-. Not very expensive, I plan not gonna spend in the supermarket, go once a week, but I feel more than $ 50 to $ 60 per week (assuming that I do not really shopping for Saturday, because the regime is outside / km throughout the day).
- For a person who does not bother to repeat myself meals during the week, maybe that part is not so important ..

I hope someone will speak slowly herd, so I take this opportunity to say I have one. I do not have much! But please do not limit your answers to the slow cooker recipes. Also, I'm not looking for book recommendations ... I bought this book by Mark Bittman, but I was overwhelmed by the whole team told me to buy, so I end up selling.

Cooking at home brings joy to all.

Nothing like home cooking. For some reason, the food will be prepared at home, can easily compete with the best restaurants in the area - bonus points if they have been cooked for a loved one.

Natalie Lang, co-founder of the grocery delivery service mainly in Singapore, especially like cooking with friends. In fact, she and her co-founder Max Current Tiong are part of a group of friends who meet regularly to weekend interesting recipes found it to play. "We love the experience of cooking together, and the food always seems to taste better when cooked at home," she says.

However, the group is constantly falling into a big problem in the form of endless work commitments:

As busy professionals, we understand what happens when we want to cook something, but pull briskly job everything out the window - it would not have time to dig much less to hunt for recipes for the ingredients. And if we do not get to cook, use only a part of what we buy. So there is always the problem of what to do with the other ingredients, and do not have time to cook every day.

Needless to say, they are not the only ones who are faced with this problem in Singapore. A survey by Robert Half in 2012 revealed that a whopping 98 percent of employees overtime Singapore. To put it in Singlish, where time has to cook food?

Tiong long and decided to do something. "We talked about that day, and we realized that we can help for Singaporeans how to solve this problem to us. Souffle So we came," Long said.

Field head takes a different approach, one that assumed by the blue apron in the United States and Germany was-based soft-Hi, both recently funded $ 50 million each - that send their customers and ingredients a recipe instead.

The reason: They want to bring the cooking experience and make it fun and want easy to learn. "We do not want to think of the model as a better leader or McDelivery Food Panda Box, offers a different thing," says a lot. "We work primarily for those who are in search of the healthiest foods, and want to learn to cook without the extra effort."

Also carefully ensure the duo that the recipes are to promote a healthier diet. "The alternative to cooking at home these days, meals and grocery delivery service, which are expensive and unhealthy, depending on what you order., If we busy, we begin to make healthy choices more often, what should," she says.

The act of cooking, the process of decision-making in the hands of customers, who can choose to make a healthier choice - less oil and salt, I hope. Long continued, "So it is much easier for people to choose to bring homemade food and fast food delivery, hope to help Singaporeans eat better."

Research and find new and interesting recipes, purchase prefabricated and provides all the necessary ingredients, the computer does all the work on the ground. The site currently offers six recipes that can seem very limited for some customers. However, Long says that the revenue change often.

"We heal our menu and updated weekly, so that with a friendly and healthy recipes that are quick and easy to prepare to offer our customers," he said. And no doubt, so that customers do not get bored quickly offers.

I must admit that these recipes were attractive enough for me, so much that I decided to try the service for me. As a lover of Thai food, Pad Thai Noodles chose the cilantro and shrimp. So far, so tasty.

Here I encountered my first problem. I wanted to order this meal for lunch, but there was one available, and it was for dinner 6 to 7:30 slot. To make matters worse, was the next slot for the following week - orders can not be a week in advance. Much later explained that it will help with the construction of the team, your Shopping List to plan ahead: Customers can place orders from Wednesday to Monday, and then gives the order Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

He added that they are considering extending slots for delivery in the near future:

We respond to those who cook on the same day, and the beginning of the collecting tin for baking later in the week. We are also considering the potential now days delivery greatly expand our delivery.

No choice now, I resigned myself to make next week, and selected.

I received a confirmation e-team about 14 minutes later, and the second problem was - only accept PayPal for payment:

After several failed attempts with my PayPal account, I pulled an e-mail to the team, in the hope of other options. Fortunately, my journey has not ended. The team was kind enough to offer cash on delivery or bank transfer. I opted for COD, and the waiting began.

The reason that the computer PayPal, according to Long, it enables them to meet existing and non-PayPal customers. Infrastructure PayPal also offers the opportunity for settlement, which will be useful if a subscription model for future recovery move.

I was informed a day before the picture would come at 18:50 clock, and voila, Tiong has touched my door at 7 clock sharp. Fortunately, it was because it made another direct shipment - business looks good.

Box with a personalized message in the upper left corner.

Without further ado, I opened the package and was greeted by a recipe and ingredients laid lines:

Almost all ingredients included.

The dry ingredients left, right cooled.

Now the fun part begins! I am proud to be able to grill a good steak, but Thai food is my experience. But the recipe had treated me well with detailed step by step:

Very easy, is not it?

It took about 45 minutes or more to cook a meal for two - the time most young Singaporeans prefer to relax in front of the TV or laptop. Still, I was very proud of the final result:

Two plates of Pad Thai which tasted pretty good if I say myself.

, A fun overall experience. The question that remains is whether Singaporeans have the time and patience to do it on a regular basis.

Waste reduction

One of the main reasons why Singaporeans decide not to prepare your own meals - other than laziness - is wasted on the rest of the ingredients. Since most people do not know when they actually have the time and opportunity to do the kitchen, only a part of the ingredients are bought actually used the rest for the decay of. Refrigerate at the end of the week

Field head solves this premeasured ingredients for the customer's problem to cook a special meal. As mentioned above, the recipe box also contains a card with cooking instructions for more information on how to prepare food. Thus, no waste is created.

By purchasing food in bulk at lower prices and offer our customers what they need, prices, this method allows the team to gain some healthy margin sufficient extent. "More and more people choose to take part in the baking experience, it is more profitable for us, increasing negotiating with our suppliers," says it all. "We have a profit, since we started, and we hope to reduce our costs by increasing demand."

So far the food service in the fourth week of release, and served over 20 customers - want to experience most of them:

Our customers have told us they like what we do, and helped us about your experience the best cuisine. Some even said that they do not try some of the recipes on our menu, if it is not meant for us.

In line with its vision of the cooking experience of more importance, Tiong said they are currently in discussions with charities to increase your cook, we specify the program, ordered the team a meal to donate to someone for each box so lucky.

"We have this service with the intent to cook at home is not only easy and fun, but also a way for us and our customers," he added. "The opportunity to give back to the community is a great motivation for us."

The team is currently focused on developing its reach in Singapore and operations are not yet fully bootstrap. Are you planning to raise money in the near future, but only after fully tightening supply, selection of the recipe and the provider of the negotiation process. Long said:

We believe that investors look at our business from the perspective of the margin. Able to build these processes effectively increased funding opportunities and also allows us to step risk business model. We disclaim Start philosophy very closely, and we are committed to each de-risk the business strategy and the confidence of potential investors before talking to investors.

To be sure, the service would box incredibly useful not discourage quick access to travel and congestion for customers in large countries such as India, where the edible food and retail products. In Singapore, it is more of a luxury than a necessity could be. , In a country that loves its food, the island nation is as good as any place to test the waters.

Lange also assured me that they are considering expansion to other cities in the region such as Sydney, Melbourne and Hong Kong.

"Since we are still young companies that we currently understand to improve our processes, what our customers want and how you focus effectively to reduce costs," he added. And what better place to do the foodies in the nation of Singapore?

Head Box is just one of many new companies, the supply of meals have been created recently in Singapore. Check out our review of cereal, a startup that provides on-demand, ready meals in a taxi near you eat.
