The Mast Brothers - American Craft Chocolate
The Mast Brothers from The Scout on Vimeo.
The life of a mariner is one given over to wanderlust—the quest for adventure, crossing unseen horizons to secure precious goods—only to bring them back to their home port. This same love of adventure and curiosity defines the brotherhood of Rick and Michael Mast. They share a fiercely independent spirit, leaping into the unknown and trusting that they’ll find the answer through endurance and dedication to their craft.
They began their voyage in their apartment, using a homemade machine to process cacao beans. Over time they cultivated their creation, sourcing beans from family farms in Madagascar, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador. Each bar is handmade with incredible reverence for the process and history of chocolate. They are bound in ornamental papers and golden foil like a collection of rare books. Each bar offers its own story of flavors, and no two are exactly alike.
The Mast Brothers are now planning to navigate the mighty Atlantic, sailing to the Dominican Republic in search of beans and a deeper connection with the folks who grow them. Before they begin the next chapter, The Scout spent time with Rick and Michael documenting their story.

Picture Show: The 37 or so Ingredients in a Twinkie
Lunch Line. the doc
the new documentary "Lunch Line" takes a shrewd look at what's served in school cafeterias from past to present. With a seemingly similar mission to Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, "Lunch Line" examines the USDA's relaxed nutritional guidelines while trumpeting the Chicago-based Organic School Project—an organization that teaches children the fundamentals of gardening and healthy living.

maria de lourdes modesto- a diva da gastronomia portuguesa
Food and Philosophy by Marije Vogelzang
"Eating design is to design from the verb 'to eat'.”
Designers who work with the subject of food are often called 'food designers'. According to Marije Vogelzang, food is already perfectly designed by nature. Instead, her designs focus around the verb 'to eat'. Vogelzang is inspired by the origin of food and the preparation, etiquette, history and culture around it. For this reason, she doesn't consider herself a 'food designer', but as the first 'eating designer' in The Netherlands.
"There is no material that comes as close to human beings as food."
It is often thought that designers who work with food only design the shape of it. Vogelzang's aim is to look at the content and background of the food as well; the shape is just a tool to tell a story.
"You put my designs inside your body."
After 10 years of experience with food projects, Vogelzang has developed a philosophy consisting of eight inspirational points. They can be used as a tool to inspire designers and creatives about food. Eating design is a uncultivated area with an endless amount of possibilities. The eight point philosophy gives insight into where the possibilities of working with food can lead.
"Food goes to the stomach, but it can also activate the brain and can rouse strong memories and emotions."
The eight points are:
- the senses
- nature
- culture
- society
- technique
- psychology
- science
- action
The eight point philosophy is thoroughly covered in Marije's book EAT LOVE

Foi lançado o primeiro vinho sem sulfitos
O primeiro vinho nacional de Denominação de Origem Protegida (DOP) sem adição de sulfuroso, foi lançado esta semana para o mercado e promete acabar com as dores de cabeça do dia seguinte. O mentor deste vinho é Filipe Madeira, director comercial da Casa Agrícola Roboredo Madeira (CARM), juntamente com o enólogo António Ribeiro.
De acordo com o responsável, os sulfitos, também conhecidos por enxofre, são os responsáveis pelas dores de cabeça que muitas pessoas sentem ao acordar, após o consumo de vinho do dia anterior.
Em entrevista à Agência Lusa, Filipe Madeira contou que, para conservar este vinho sem a adição do sulfuroso, é seguida uma «metodologia específica de produção», nomeadamente o «cuidado a ter com a atmosfera controlada, sem oxigénio, em todo o processo», que vai desde a fermentação ao engarrafamento.
O novo CARM DOP Douro, trata-se de um vinho de 2009, proveniente de uvas Touriga Nacional, a casta escolhida pela empresa de Almendra (Vila Nova de Foz Côa), para experimentar o novo método. Filipe Madeira acredita que este vinho, aprovado pelo Instituto dos Vinhos do Douro e Porto (IVDP), tem «valor acrescentado para o Douro» e que os vinhos sem sulfuroso vão ser «necessariamente o futuro».
A empresa CARM foi criada em 1999, «para trabalhar com a herança das propriedades de vários séculos da família», contou à Lusa o fundador, Celso Madeira. «Fomos talvez a primeira entidade a apostar nos vinhos do Douro Superior, com uma vinha de muito alto rendimento plantada já em 1965, quando os vinhos do Porto e do Douro eram fundamentalmente produzidos do Pocinho para baixo, quando ainda ninguém falava nesta região», recordou. Para a vindima que começa já em Setembro, a CARM pensa aumentar a produção dos seus vinhos sem adição de sulfuroso para os 50% da colheita total.
