Hungry Globetrotter Sources Artisan Ingredients from Premier Partners for Worldly Culinary Adventures

As he walked the floor at the San Francisco Fancy Food Show last week, Vijay Rajendran, founder of the recently launched and rapidly growing global gourmet retailer, Hungry Globetrotter was in search of sourcing high quality ingredients from around the world. His culinary tourism company is dedicated to creating a true experience of regional cuisine in monthly meals delivered directly to members’ doorsteps through diner’s taste buds.

“Featuring truly authentic cuisine often includes hard-to-find ingredients that people may find intimidating, or may not have even heard of,” said Vijay. “The companies we partner with don’t just help us make these ingredients more accessible, they also perpetuate the enthusiasm and excitement around preparing exotic meals in our own kitchens.”

For Vijay, the show provided a chance to meet face to face with new partners to collaborate and share Hungry Globetrotter’s vision of bringing culinary tourism home. Aside from providing delicious monthly meals, Hungry Globetrotter also provides a platform for global retailers of spices, sauces and other shelf-stable items that reflect the flavors of their international destinations, and provide a platform for them to reach a globally engaged culinary audience. Three top partners to watch for in Hungry Globetrotter’s upcoming monthly mailings include:

Spicely’s products are included in Hungry Globetrotter’s South Indian and Japanese samplers.

The company also adheres strictly to an ethical code focused on integrity and excellence, offering ingredients that are accessible and easy to use, while authentically reflecting the cuisine of their exotic origins. Wholesome Kitchen’s products are featured in Hungry Globetrotter’s Moroccan and Argentine mailings.

Casa de Chocolates: The Berkeley-based company is driven by a passion to support quality, sustainably farmed cacao products and thus, empowering the growers in Latin America to continue these practices. The mission is not just about great chocolate; it’s also about helping chocolate lovers appreciate the traditions and ancient origins of the treat within the Americas. Hungry Globetrotter members can savor Casa de Chocolates products in the Mexico box.

AGA iTotal Control – The all new on-off AGA you can control wherever you are!

If you grew up in the 70s, it was tempting to imagine the home of the future would be decidedly space age, with robots running everything and us sitting back doing very little. This, of course, isn’t quite how things turned out – but things are getting decidedly more techie in the kitchen.

AGA has taken things a step further by launching the AGA iTotal Control range cooker. Owners of these innovative new range cookers will be able to control it wherever they are, using a mobile phone, smartphone, PC, laptop, iPad or tablet.

The AGA iTotal Control cooker’s three ovens (roasting, baking and simmering) are remotely operated, so you can ensure the cooker is warm and supper will be cooked at exactly the time you need it – wherever you are in the world. Essentially, you can sync your AGA at the touch of a button.

Those AGA iTotal Control owners who don’t have a smartphone, tablet or laptop can still take advantage of this technical revolution – simply by sending a text message to the AGA. The AGA can also be controlled via the web, so even if you have no phone signal you can use a wireless network to ensure the cooker is doing exactly what you want it to.

AGA is using Orange technology to run the communications element of iTotal Control. Marc Overton, VP of Wholesale and M2M for Orange, said: “We are very proud to be working with such an iconic British brand and starting a conversation between people and their ovens all over the world.”

Controlling your AGA by text:
Each AGA iTotal Control has a dedicated SIM card linked to a unique phone number. Once your cooker is installed, you should save this number into your phone. When you wish to operate it remotely, simply send by SMS text message one of the following commands:
• Roasting oven on
• Baking oven on
• Simmering oven on
• All ovens on
• All zones off

Once the text has been sent you will receive a reply saying, for example, ‘roasting oven on activated’.

Using the AGA app:
The app can be downloaded from Apple’s app store or the Android Marketplace. You will then be directed to a screen which mimics the cookers control panel. This will show each of the ovens, as well as symbols for all ovens on and all zones off.

You then simply use the touch-screen facility to select the option you require. A message will flash on the screen saying, for example, ‘baking oven on activated’.

You can also register on a dedicated website, which will allow you to control your AGA iTotal Control from a laptop, desktop PC or mobile device. The process from then on is exactly the same as when using the app.

The AGA iTotal Control is available now, prices start at £10,090.

Ace Summerhouses Will Drive away the Snow Time Blues

The blanket of snow that keeps covering the country makes the Springtime seem far away but in 2 months it will be here and for the past 2 years this has been the time when the best weather of the year has occurred. Ace Sheds provide excellent summerhouses that will be ideal when the good weather comes and now is the ideal time to buy a good summerhouse. This may seem the time of the year when nothing happens but it is the time when all the preparations can be made so that a full advantage of the warm weather can be taken when it comes. Ace Sheds have a superb range of summerhouses which can meet all the requirements of the different customers and different applications for which the summerhouse is required. They even supply summerhouses that can be customised with power and light so that they can be used throughout the year. It may seem strange but a warm and cosy summerhouse is an ideal place to enjoy a cup of coffee and look at the beautiful snowy countryside.

Ace Sheds is delighted to promote two of its summerhouses in Kent, which are built with a verandah included in the design. These are the Medway and the Tonbridge Chalet Summerhouses which are built as comfortable rectangular buildings with a verandah or balcony at the front of the summerhouse. These verandah’s are covered by the roof to provide shelter for the person or persons sitting below. The verandah is a lovely place to be on a summer’s day and both the Medway and the Tonbridge Chalet Summerhouse have proved to be very popular buildings. Ace Sheds build this design so that the summerhouse can be used when the weather is cold or with the doors open when it is warm or people can sit on the verandah when the weather is good. The verandah’s usually are a good way to be outside but with shelter from the sun or in some cases the rain. The verandah gives a lovely boundary between the building and the garden and provides a little oasis for the occupants.

Ace Sheds are very pleased with both these designs as they are aimed at two different parts of the market place. The Medway summer house design has been made in a very British traditional design almost like an old cricket pavilion and typically suits an old English type of garden. It has an apex roof running along its length with the lower edge of the roof at the front to give most protection to those on the verandah. The Tonbridge Chalet design however is more of an Austrian chalet type of design and Ace Sheds have made a summerhouse that is far more open at the front as the apex of the roof is in the centre of the front of the building. The verandah is wide and gives a very pleasant area where people can collect and can suit a more modern garden.

Whatever the requirement Ace Sheds are only too pleased to help and a look at their web site and a quick email or phone call will supply the answers to any questions.

Redring Powerstream Ascari Central Heating Boiler From The Electrical Counter

The Electrical Counter Company has developed the electricalcounter.co.uk web site to supply high quality electrical products at excellent prices and either off the shelf or on a short delivery cycle. They have been very successful in this effort and the company goes from strength to strength in producing what the customer wants at a price that he can afford.

The Redring Powerstream Ascari Central Heating Boiler is a great electrical boiler with an energy efficiency of 99% working solely off mains electricity and it will replace the requirement for gas, oil, solid fuel, bottled gas and storage heating systems. The Redring Powerstream Ascari central heating boiler will provide hot water or central heating as required and is a very flexible system, which does not require any regular servicing (Only once every 5 years), which is required annually for other fuel systems for safety and efficiency, nor does it require a flue system. The electric flow boiler supplied by The Electrical Counter will fit with a circulation pump and an expansion vessel to provide a first rate heating system which can be an under floor system or a sealed or open vented system.

The Redring Powerstream Ascari Central Heating Boiler relies on working with off peak electrical power from a white meter overnight and requires a system to store water overnight in a fully insulated container to gain the energy at the cheapest rate. The advantage of such a system is that it is extremely flexible being able to be used as a water heater or a central heating system or a combination of the two and the Redring Powerstream Boilers come in a range of sizes from 12, 8, 6, 4KW to allow a boiler for a range of different uses.

The Electrical Counter is pleased to promote the Redring Powerstream Ascari Boiler as it provides a great alternative to other fuelled boilers which is often a boon in certain places where safety is a major consideration. It fits neatly into a small space in the kitchen or boiler room and can be fitted with all modern control systems and also a 5 degree safety temperature control, they also have 5 litre built-in hot water storage boiler. Electrical boilers are a very simple and silent in their operation and fit well with modern day green technology such as solar power where the energy supplied by these systems nicely supplies energy at a time when mains electricity is at its most expensive.

In past times the thought of an electrical boiler the cost would have worried even the most ardent clean energy supporter but the introduction of the Redring Powerstream Ascari Boiler has brought a high efficiency boiler to the equation and if fitted with the storage systems and green technology provides a central heating system which is far more viable than could have been expected even only a few years ago. Electrical Counter is pleased to be able to supply not only the Redring Powerstream Ascari boiler but also all the ancillary equipment which can bring the system to its maximum potential.

Splash And Relax Get Ready For The Snow

The winter is here and the snow is coming in large amounts and Splash and Relax have a full range of sledges ready to go. This looks like being a great year for those that like to make the most of the cold weather and good snow seems to be around for almost all of the country. Snow comes in various amounts and falls can melt as soon as they come but this year the cold weather never seems far away and the possibility of good sledging weather is quite high. Sledging is still one of the great British leisure activities which is only restricted by the weather of the British Isles but this year looks to be a good one and many areas not used to experiencing snow look like getting the opportunity to get out the sledges.

Splash and Relax have a sledge for any person who likes sledging from plastic trays to wooden sleighs. These sledges are all of good quality and the choice is large and the prices are such that there is something to fit every ones pocket. The trick is to get the sledge before the snow comes so that it is ready for the weather when it comes. If purchasing is left too late then either the shops are sold out or the snow makes a trip to the shops a difficult and sometimes dangerous exercise.

There is a super range of wooden sledges which can be supplied by Splash and Relax which cover most requirements, all that is needed is an examination of the Splash and Relax web site and once the decision is made a simple order can be placed and the sledge will generally arrive within 48 hours. The typical wooden sledge is a version of the Austrian type sledge where the runners are supported by double leg system with the rider sitting on the wooden table seat supported by these legs. The sledge is excellent for control going downhill and is extremely fast. The wooden sledge seems to have been around forever but it is still as good as it ever was and is still as popular as ever.

Create vintage chic in any kitchen with a classic Rangemaster cooker

The UK’s love affair with all things vintage shows no signs of waning any time soon and homeowners can inject some classic elegance into their kitchens with a traditional Rangemaster cooker.

In 2013, more and more people are set to take inspiration from years gone by when it comes to decorating their homes. While some may favour the minimalist looks of the 70s, others might prefer the grandeur of the 1920s. These classic designs are being used within modern houses to create an eclectic and homely effect.

Rangemaster cookers are the perfect choice for those who are looking to capture this feel in their home as they become the centrepiece of any kitchen, radiating warmth and a very traditional feel. Rangemaster’s Classic Deluxe 110 is ideal for creating a vintage look, while still delivering all the modern conveniences people have come to expect from kitchen appliances. It boasts five powerful gas burners, a multi-function oven and a combined oven capacity of 138 litres.

To complete the look, homeowners can purchase the Rangemaster Fire-Clay Ceramic Belfast sink, which comes in both single and double bowl versions. This is the epitome of vintage chic in a kitchen.

Holly Johnson, Marketing Manager for Rangemaster said: “Vintage trends are huge in the world of interior design at the moment. Everywhere you look, people are decorating their homes with distressed wooden furniture and pretty floral prints.

“However, it’s important that a vintage-style home is still fully functional and this is what Rangemaster offers with its Classic Deluxe 110 cooker and Belfast sinks. Although they are reminiscent of appliances from years gone by, they still offer the modern conveniences householders have come to rely on.”
