Chilled Summertime Seafood Ceviche
A refreshing appetizer or serve as a wrap

Chilled Summer Seafood

About the Recipe: The seafood is cooked in an acidic fruit juice and may have originated in Peru and Ecuador. The juice cures the seafood protein and causes it to become opaque and firm. Serve it with colorful red onions, cilantro, avocados, oranges, and tomatoes. It is simple to make and filled with bright flavors. Serve it in a bowl with chips as an appetizer or for a fresh summer dinner, wrapped in soft tortillas.

“Cool” Lomi Lomi Salad
It’s filled with the joyful sharing of life energy

Joy & Sharing Life’s Energy!

About the Recipe:  This recipe is filled with refreshing flavors and juicy summer tomato goodness. Removing the skin of the fresh tomato creates a new texture and tomato taste.  We added the name Lomi Lomi because In the Hawaiian language, it has a deep meaning, which represents the idea of absolute deliciousness. It’s “the joyful (oha) sharing (alo) of life energy (ha) in the present (alo).” The feeling is a deeper connection to self and others.

How to Buy Healthy Groceries
Directly from Local Family Farms and Food Producers

Andy and Marianna Chapman founded EATYALL in 2012. For a decade, they influenced and worked with hundreds of chefs. They also built a network of thousands of farm families and food producers, who were committed to thoughtfully sourcing their food.

Working with chefs and farmers, EATYALL helped them learn how to promote products online to ship nationwide, service restaurants, and innovate their business model.  Andy Chapman realized that during this time, consumers were eager to purchase fresh food and artisan products that could be shipped to their home.

Find Family Farms and the Farm Club were developed to help consumers know where their food comes from and to connect farmers to consumers directly. This makes shopping for groceries a little easier and discover the best chef endorsed ingredients available. the Farm Club also shares the best weekly sales and offers Internet connected events.

Beer Pretzel Dumplings & Old Fashioned Sauerkraut
An adapted favorite from the German Pavilion’s “Symphonie” restaurant

Try a Fermented Product.

About the Recipe:  Pretzel dumplings were served at the German Pavilion at World Fair Expo 2015. These dumplings are completely different than the typical dumpling recipe since they are made from pretzels.  They are flavored with beer, boiled, cooled, sliced, and then quick fried into a crispy dumpling slice.  We served them with a creamy old-fashioned sauerkraut, dotted with sweet dried cranberries and bacon bits. Try adding several juicy grilled sausages to this dinner menu. It’s like taking a trip to Germany.
