The American Museum of Natural History just opened an amazing new exhibit about food - "Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture" explores the complex and intricate food system that brings what we eat from farm to fork.

Fenugreen's Inventor & Founder recently took a backstage tour with TEDxManhattan...check out the video below for highlights!

The Washington Post, "In Copenhagen, Noma restaurant offers food for thought:" http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-09-12/lifestyle/35495963_1_new-nordic-cuisine-claus-meyer-noma

 The restaurant is located in an old warehouse on the waterfront in the Christianshavn neighborhood of central Copenhagen

 The Dining Room has only 12 tables

 The cozy lounge

 Simple decor features only Nordic materials

Noma's friendly team of chefs comes from all over the world, drawn by the restaurant's mission and uniquely creative culture - we were excited to have them try FreshPaper!

The newly designed Noma "experimentarium" consists of a test kitchen, herb garden, and office. It was created as a space for the chefs to be able to play with ingredients and invent new dishes:

Hundreds of amazing local ingredients fill the wooden cupboards lining the Test Kitchen

The beautiful Noma Lab interior is designed exclusively using local Nordic materials, and was built without a single nail in the walls or flooring

Docked next to Noma, the Nordic Food Lab is an amazing floating experimental kitchen - chemists, chefs, scientists, anthropologists and academics work together to push the boundaries of food innovation and share their findings with the world:

All aboard!

The industrial kitchen inside the houseboat is bright and cheery (and sways with the water).

Pictures of some of the world's most famous chefs share wall space with prints of various roots and vegetables. Rows of glass jars and plastic containers are filled with samples from local foraging trips.

FreshPaper Debut at Natural Products Expo!

FreshPaper recently made its debut at Natural Products Expo, the largest natural, organic and healthy products trade show on the East Coast, with over 20,000 attendees. Showcasing the latest trends and new product launches including organic goods, natural gourmet, health and beauty, and natural living, the expo was keynoted by Alice Waters (chef and proprietor of Chez Panisse), one of the pioneers of the organic movement.

Dr. Ravi's bold wardrobe choice drew the crowds, and we were thrilled to meet so many folks -- dieticians, best-selling authors, celebrity chefs, farmers, buyers from stores across the country, food entrepreneurs and doctors -- all working towards making fresh, healthy eating accessible to everyone. We were also excited to be selected as an editor’s pick (http://newhope360.com/blog/keep-produce-fresh-longer-freshpaper) for one of the “most interesting natural living” products at the show!
