This pizza is so simple and you'll have to try it for yourself to see how, in this case, when it comes to taste "less is more" . . . but less is definitely less when it comes to calories, saturated fat and salt.

The classic Margherita pizza was made in the colours of the Italian flag:
Red from the tomato;
White from this bocconcini cheese;
And green from the basil.

Ingredients

1 Pizza Base
1/4 cup tomato puree
2 1/2 oz bocconcini cheese, sliced
1 tablespoon parmesan, grated
1/4 cup basil leaves, shredded
1 tsp olive oil
2 cups arugula
1 avocado sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil & vinaigrette dressing

Preparation

Spread the tomato puree on the pizza base and then top with the sliced bocconcini.
Add the grated parmesan and then the basil leaves and drizzle over 1 tsp of olive oil.
Place in the oven for about 7 minutes.
While the pizza is cooking whip together a small salad.
Make a quick dressing using 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 tbs balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tsp mustard & give a quick stir.
Pour it on the salad leaves & serve with a few slices of avocado & the pizza.

Basil-Cucumber Gin Cooler

With the holiday weekend coming, if you're looking for a signature cocktail that looks like it jumped right off a spa cuisine menu for under 140 calories, this is it! Made with muddled cucumbers, basil, lemon juice, gin and a splash of seltzer, it's light and summery and perfect to serve at your next party.

This cocktail recipe is from a great new book I just got, 150-Calorie Cocktails; All Natural Drinks and Snacks. Filled with lots of great cocktails I plan on trying this summer as well as tips on how to make a low calorie cocktail. Some tips include choosing a lower-proof liquor, skipping store bought syrups and prepared mixes, choosing seltzer over tonic water (did you know tonic water was 90 calories per cup!) and something I often do, adding seltzer to wine to make a spritzer.

Articles: It's a Wrap at the 61st Summer Fancy Food Show

1500 specialty food exhibits have done their job

Food News

The Summer Fancy Food Show has come to an end—the largest marketplace devoted exclusively to specialty foods has been dismantled and shipped back to where it all came from! The flavors, trends, and new products, however, will now live on as they become featured in the world’s grocery stores, restaurants, and home kitchens.

The Fancy Food Show was first held in 1955. Over the years, it has developed into a leading way for artisans, importers and entrepreneurs to find each other and discover the business relationships that are made when you pair a food idea with a business. Today the Specialty Food Association has more than 3,000 member companies worldwide.

This year’s show featured about 300 first-time exhibitors with products such as vegetable popsicles, tiger nut flour, and more—and products from 50 countries.

At the end of the show, exhibitors had the opportunity to contribute leftover products to City Harvest, the show’s longtime charity of choice. The expectation was that they would have enough specialty chocolate, cheese, olive oil, meats, snacks and more to fill more than six tractor trailers to help supply those in need. And, point of interest, keynote speaker Ted Allen reportedly donated his speaking fee to the cause!

The specialty food industry is responsible for $109 billion in annual sales in the U.S. alone. Top categories are cheese, coffee, cocoa, meat, poultry and seafood. Among the fastest-growing categories are refrigerated pasta and pizza sauces.
