The Real Happy Meal
Video by StoryTravelers
From StoryTravelers:
It’s about time to reframe what we think of when we hear “Happy Meal”. “The real happy meal” is a funny prelude about the joy of delicious, fair home grown food.
The story takes you on a trip from the dinner table in the open mountain air, through the kitchen to the organic gardens back to the roots. A real happy meal cares about its origins. All products used are home grown, organic or cultivated with respect.

Red Drops of Life
“the story behind a divine wine..”
Video by StoryTravelers
From StoryTravelers:
With “Red drops of life” I wanted to visualize the story behind a divine wine in a poetic way. In fact it’s not a person that tells the story, but it’s the wine that tells its story through the senses. One glass of wine is containing not only a finely elaborated extract of riped grapes fed with a unique set of elements of found in these lands: sun, water and volcanic minerals; but it contains stories… stories of the people dedicating their lives to nurture it, following their traditions, knowledge and above all, their passion.

The Grind

From Dear Martini:
Grind your own spices? Sure you bet! Pre-ground spices tend to loose their aroma and flavor as they sit on your kitchen shelf. In just a few minutes you can toast whole spices and grind the amount you need for a big payoff in flavor.

How to Toast Whole Spices
Two San Francisco Bay Area Chefs Share Cooking Techniques
Video by Dear Martini
From Dear Martini:
Toasting spices is a step many cooks overlook.
Toasting doesn’t require a lot of work or time and importantly brings out the flavor and aroma of spices (which they tend to lose during storage.)
