Say Cheese: Two New York City Women Make Culinary Waves with Their Artisanal Ricotta

"IF CHEESE WERE A ROCK STAR," proclaims the website of ricotta cheese purveyor Salvatore Bklyn, "it'd be Salvatore Bklyn." Ricotta, the fluffy, unassuming building block for lasagna or cheesecake, hasn't achieved pop-icon status yet. But thanks to Betsy Devine and Rachel Mark, the couple who make the cheese under the Salvatore Bklyn moniker, it may well be on its way. In the two years since they began this artisanal adventure out of their Brooklyn kitchen, their impossibly luscious ricotta has won a major following among chefs, curd nerds, and gourmet shoppers alike.

Mark, 27, and Devine, 31, never planned to go into the ricotta business. They met in 2003 when Mark answered a Craigslist ad posted by Devine and friends, who were in search of a roommate for their apartment in New York City's East Village. "She beat out the competition, " Devine recalls fondly. The two quickly became a couple and then, during a trip to Italy in 2005, they met Salvatore Farina, a gregarious Italian who befriended them and treated them to local delicacies such as ricotta bruschetta at his enoteca, or wine shop, in San Gimignano.

When they returned to New York they decided to move to Brooklyn and make their own ricotta, in part because they couldn't find any that evoked the madeleine-like qualities of Sal's. So they started experimenting in their kitchen. The first batches weren't that great. But when they finally got it right, Devine brought the cheese to Lunetta restaurant, where she was working, and got chef Adam Shepard to put it on the menu. "That's where it began gaining traction," Mark says. Soon she and Devine were selling their cheese out of Lunetta.

As the cheese's fame spread by word of mouth, Salvatore Bklyn was born. Devine's past experience working in a specialty food supplier, where she learned the importance of customer service, came in handy. So did Lunetta's kitchen, where Devine made the cheese when the restaurant was closed. Eventually, Mark, who handles the business side of the venture, secured accounts with specialty stores and high-end New York restaurants like Per Se and Blue Hill. …

An interview with co-founder of Clothes Box Foundation

An interview with co-founder of Clothes Box Foundation: Initiative that is taking the social media by storm

I am sure you would find many clothes in your cupboard, which is a little tight, or slightly frayed in the seams or has gone out of style. Clothes, which are in perfect condition, but by just a missing button you may no longer wear it. If you have such clothes and it is eating up all the space in your cupboard, then your destination is Clothes Box Foundation.

Started by Naman Aluwalia and Saajan Arol this initiative not only shares clothes, but also shares and spreads smiles. Both Ahluwalia and Arol studied together since eight grade in the Heritage School of Gurgaon and has been buddies since then. Their friendship took another step when they decided to give back to the community by starting their own programme called the Clothes Box Foundation.

22 year old Naman, who is pursuing his Engineers degree and 23 year old Saajan, who works in a prestigious company started the initiative this February. They have already garnered eyeballs as well as volunteers across the globe in UK, US, Canada as well as in the major Indian cities.

In a lively conversation with Naman Ahluwalia, we got to know more of the initiative and how it is touching people's lives and adding a smile on many people's face with clothes, which most of us throw away or discard.

Q: They say charity begins at home. Was it the same for you? Why did you start Clothes Box Foundation?

A: Yes, it began from home, as we used to donate clothes, but slowly realised that there is a gap. There was no transparency as to what happened to the clothes we donated. We wanted to fill in the gap by taking pictures of people who receives the donation and adding them to our Facebook page.

We wanted to give back to the community and this seemed like a good idea, Also, we used to see clothes lying around in our home, which we did not use. So, we thought that we would give these clothes to people, who needs them and would utilise them. This is how Clothes Box Foundation (CBF) happened.

Q:Till date, from its inception in February, how many people have contributed to the cause? Is social media helping the process?

Around 100-150 people have already made donations and we have helped around 2500 people. The social media has helped the initiative a lot. Through it, we have expanded as people have started noticing us and we have got volunteers all around the world through social media, people who saw us on Facebook and joined in as volunteers across the globe.

Q:If a person wants to donate to CBF, how would they go about it? What is the process, you guys have put in place after you get the donations. Who gets the donated clothes?

If a person wants to donate, they can visit our Facebook page, of the same name and call one of the co-founders. We would then co-ordinate and tell them to drop it off somewhere or we can pick it up ourselves.

In Hyderabad and Delhi, we have our logistic partner called Superman Delivers, who delivers the packages to us and we take care of them thereafter. Once the donation reaches us, we segregate them into men and women's clothes. We do all these works during the week. On weekends, we visit various construction sites and distribute the clothes and then take pictures of the people receiving the clothes and tag the donor with the pictures on our Facebook page.

Q: Can you tell us one incident, which CBF has given you and which has stayed with you and has become memorable.

We once visited a school in Gurgaon. There were around 180-200 children, who were not financially well off and distributed clothes. There was a kid called Haider, who was specially abled, but he loved dancing. He was selected in the Boggie Woggie show, but had no money to pay a professional and learn further. We provided him with the dance lessons. This one incident often comes to my mind.

Q: Being a citizen of Gurgaon, do you think Gurgaonites are charitable by nature?

People in Gurgaon are educated and sensitive to various social issues around them. They take interest and are willing to contribute to a social cause. Many people have come forward with us in order to experience the work that we are doing with Clothes Box Foundation. So, yes, I feel Gurgaon people are sensitive and charitable.

Q: Five years from now, where do we see CBF to be?

We wish to be present in every Indian city and abroad as well. We also want to promote special talent, who are from the financially weaker section of the society.

Currently, we are helping Jammu and Kashmir flood survivors. We have collected 600-700 blankets and plan to arrange for 1000 blankets and send it to the survivors through Indian Army and NDTV volunteers.

How To Make A Wedding Dress

Remember how I said that experience arranging flowers was not necessary for doing your wedding flowers? Well, I still think that. However, when it comes to sewing a wedding dress, I think experience is a very very good thing. If you’ve never sewn a dress before, go out and sew a few. Figure out what you are doing, and then decide if you want to take on your wedding dress. It’s not an impossible project, not at all, but it’s complicated, and takes skill.

My sister, my mother and I (and yes, David too) tackled Project Wedding Dress over Christmas break. It was more complicated and more time consuming than we expected (of course). It lead to Project Runway like, down to the wire, midnight sew-offs. And, in the end, it was far more rewarding than I’d ever imagined. The dress isn’t quite done yet, and I reserve the right to complain about it later (remember that!) Sadly, you are not going to see the finished project till August, I’m afraid, just hints and whispers. But! I’ve had requests to walk you through the process, so here we go!

Step 1: Pick Your Pattern

My pattern is a vintage Vogue pattern. Pretty, no? Squee!

The key to picking a pattern is to pick something where you like the basic construction – this dress has princess seams, no true waist, and pleating. Those are elements of the pattern would be next to impossible to change.

Step 2 – Pick Your Fabric

Once you have your pattern, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what kind of fabric you need. I’ve already written about my fabric search, but I was looking for a mid-weight silk – and I found the worlds most beautiful blush-toned off-white silk. Swoon.

Step 3 – Decide On Simple Modifications

This is the time to decide what small tweaks you want to make to the pattern. On my pattern, we decided to take off the sleeves, adjust the neckline a bit, and remove the yoke around the neck. These small changes made the dress feel like it was mine, but didn’t change the fundamental construction of the dress.

Step 4 – Muslin Mock Up

While this step is truly a monumental pain, I would not, under any circumstances, suggest skipping this step. It’s where all the really hard work is done. At this point, you take your measurements, get the pattern out, cut and mark the fabric, make the small modifications you are planning (no sleeves for us!), and sew up the dress. What you now have is a weird muslin dress. It’s going to be HUGE on you (I’m a street size 4, according to Vogue I was a size 12, we sewed a size 10, and it was still pretty darn big at this point). It’s also, frankly, not going to be very flattering at this point (see below) but don’t freak out. It will be.

Step 5 – Alterations, Alterations, Alterations

This step takes an incredible about of skill. And unless you are a four-armed double-jointed sewing genius, you can’t do it for yourself. Put on your muslin mock up. Stand in front of the mirror. Try not to wiggle (ha!). Get a sister, or another wise seamstress, to get out her pins and pin that dress like mad, until it fits like it is supposed to. Now is the time to discuss the neckline (is it working? Should you open it up more? Do you want to change the shape a bit?) and the length. Discuss if the dress is comfortable and how you feel in it. discuss all the little things.

Next up. The dress comes off (carefully, it’s full of pins). The head seamstress takes out a needle and thread and bastes in all the alterations she’s made (another option: the seamstress can actually do the basting alterations while you are in the dress). After this, try it on one last time, to make sure it fits.

Step 6 – Altering The Paper Pattern

The muslin dress is carefully cut apart. The head seamstress laid it back out on the original pattern and carefully transfers all the alterations that have been made on to the paper (This step is half skill and half voodoo magic, if you ask me).

Step 7 – Cut And Mark Your Fabric

At this point in our process, we were running tremendously behind. My pattern looks simple, but BOY is it not. The alterations had eaten up two full days, and we were due back in San Francisco. So, David and I stayed up until midnight, cracking Project Runway jokes, and ever so carefully cutting and marking yards and yards of silk. Cutting your fabric is an exercise in precision. After the magic that has gone into altering the pattern, you want to cut extremely precisely, and make sure the fabric is laid exactly the right way on the grain of the fabric. After it is all cut, you’ll use thread to mark all the indicated points in the fabric.

Step 8 – Baste The Dress Together

Those who are weak of heart, do not even read this step! Because at this point, I swear to god, you will hand sew the entire dress together in medium-sized basting stitches (that’s me doing just that in the picture). It sounds crazy, and it sort of is, but I have to say, I enjoyed this part the most. My sister and I sat there, and in a true old world fashion, hand sewed my entire wedding dress. When it was done, I tried it on to make sure it fit, and we made final adjustments. B

ecause you have just basted the dress, if anything is still not working, you can pull the stitches out and fix it.

Step 9 – Sew That D*mn Dress Together

This is it. The sewing machine comes out, and you finally sew the dress together once and for all. If you are making a liner for your dress, you will cut and sew that now. We’re in the midst of this step and the next one at the moment.

Step 10 – Finishing

Still to go: My sister is building crinolines for the dress out of tulle, and will attach them to the liner. Then she will mail the dress back to me, and I’ll attach some lace trim, and some buttons on the back. I might embroider our names and the date on the inside, because if this dress isn’t a heirloom, I don’t know what is. A heirloom or a g-d-effing-heirloom, depending on the day.

And that, ladies and gentleman, is how you make a wedding dress. It takes lots of time and love and patience, but at the end of the process, you are so attached to the dress you have. It’s not something you saved up for, its not a dress that you tried on and fell in love with. Nope, its a dress that you dreamed up in your heart and head, bled over, cursed over, slaved over, and midwifed into being. And I’m not sure it gets any better than that.

News about packaging

The green packaging will promote the progress of the industry

With the continuous development of China's economy, the progress of science, packaging and printing industry to maintain a relatively high level of growth in the printing and packaging enterprise development towards a green era.

Last year, the total output value of China's packaging industry has reached 13,000 billion, to become the second-largest packaging country after the United States, however, from the number of enterprises and the gross margin level, the domestic packaging industry is still in the formative years. Visible packaging industry survive is to provide added value for the downstream cost savings while providing publicity effect, and downstream customers grow and grow. Expected future packaging industry is driven by the three major driving force.

Packaging and printing industry, competition is fierce, although the profits of the leading companies able to maintain a relatively high level, but the industry average profit is as low as 2%. Industrial Network was informed that, the traditional packaging and printing only rely on the products to lock in customers facing increasing challenges. Personalized, differentiated demand as consumers of the brand customers passed to a manufacturer of packaging and printing products, coupled with increasingly fierce competition between various brands, customers simply want a cost-effective packaging and printing products from previous gradually require suppliers to participate in product development, and provide more professional guidance and assistance.

80-90 the year in the last century by UV press, Zhang machine equipment investment to produce high-quality special specification product differentiation to gain high profits. Driven by high profits, a growing number of packaging printing enterprises to update equipment, rely on the advantages of equipment to maintain the time is growing short.

At the same time, with the continuous development of science and technology enterprises through technological innovation threshold is getting lower and lower, more and more difficult to rely on research and innovation to gain competitive advantage, especially in the environment of weak intellectual property protection in China is more obvious. We can see that the annual Hong Kong International Printing and Packaging Fair exhibits can be deeply felt the seriousness of the packaging and printing industry homogenization.

Cosmetics packaging is one of the essential factors which cosmetic companies must take into account when trying to capture consumer attention in crowded market-places. The importance of cosmetics packaging to the success of cosmetic products has meant that companies operating in the sector are expected to gain steady profits throughout the coming years. Various consumer trends have also served to both increase the quantity of packaging sold and increase the value of packaging sold, increasing the value of cosmetic packaging markets. As a consequence, visiongain has determined that the value of the global cosmetics packaging market in 2012 will reach $24.0bn.

Several consumer-driven trends are impacting the cosmetics packaging markets. The average consumer in the mature industrialised nations is aging, and demanding more of premium cosmetics packaging. Heightened popularity of male grooming, particularly in the emerging markets, is increasing cosmetics consumption in hair care and facial skincare sectors. The consumers are also increasingly looking for added value in the cosmetics they buy, and cosmetics producers are seeking to create this via adding integrated applicators and innovative techniques to the packaging of the products. All these factors are enabling solid growth prospects for the global cosmetics packaging markets.

National cosmetics packaging markets in US, Japan and major European countries will remain central to the cosmetics packaging market over the forecast period to 2022, as premiumisation of cosmetics drives the development of cosmetics packaging. Growth within emerging markets in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa will enable more of the consumers in these countries to join the emerging middle class and will heighten their demand for various cosmetic products. As professional occupations become more common in emerging markets, appearances become more crucial and consumers are increasingly willing to spend their disposable income on cosmetics such as hair care or skincare.

There are however a few dangers remaining in the horizon. The global financial crisis of 2007-08 and the current euro-zone debt crisis have reduced consumer and producer confidences and restrained cosmetics packaging growth. While some essential products, such as hair care and facial skincare are consistently performing, the value of packaging markets for less essential products is likely to be diminished if euro-zone troubles lead to a new crisis. Fluctuating raw material and energy prices are further dangers that potentially may serve to reduce margins in the cosmetics packaging markets.

Cosmetic history and luxury packaging

Since the 80 s, the skin experts found that adding various natural ingredients in skin care products, has certain nourishing effect to the skin.At this time of the large-scale natural extraction separation industry has matured, since then, slowly in skincare ingredients on the market to find the natural ingredients!From land to ocean, from plants to animals, all kinds of natural ingredients.Some of them even to the most inaccessible place, trying to find the special raw materials, create the miracle of skin care, including tropical rain forest.
, of course, it is natural there are a lot of gimmicks and probably most of the base or used mineral oil the composition of The Times, only occasionally to add some natural ingredients, because here the ingredients, anti-corrosion, etc. There are still many problems difficult to conquer.Others will have to completely abandon the original industrial assembly line, the production of pure natural thing, gradually formed some top very focused brand.

                        
Oxidation time
In people cheer all sorts of new natural ingredients have been found, still premature aging of the skin, metabolism to regress, skin is not due to the continuous application of new materials and anti-aging.Skincare experts at this time was amazed to find, is the root cause of skin aging skin oxidation, only fight oxidation can prevent skin aging.At this time of the skin like body maintenance, need some efficacy of sex role, rather than to protect and maintain.
This era's most famous theory is the theory of free radical, the most famous is the father of the antioxidant ray park, Ph.D., he and a group of scientists created the theory of free radical oxidation, and gradually applied by many enterprises.Against free radicals can be divided into two kinds, one kind is carbon oxidation, such as vitamin C, E, grape seed extract, lycopene and lutein, and so on, at the same time of scavenging free radicals, secondary oxidation, its itself becomes weaker free radicals.There is one kind is hydrogen oxidation, such as solid negative hydrogen ions, represented by the daily hydrogen, can remove free radicals, not occur secondary oxidation, its by-product is water, without any side effect to human body.So the characteristics of this era is the combination of internal and external use.Knowledge of consumer requirements higher, more professional.Skin care industry slowly with your doctor, lawyer, personal and professional. Zero load time

2010 years ago, zero burden products began to popular in Europe and Taiwan, ever too pursuit of plants and natural skin care products for the development of the society, and in order to meet the requirements of more people special skin, protect skin to taste a variety of additives in more and more, so, lead to many skin care products is a natural actually does not have natural, a lot of use of natural ingredients, mineral composition more due to the product components, causing unnecessary damage to skin, allergies, even this is a wake-up call for skin care industry, pursue zero burden will become at present the most substantial change in the skin care history.

Gene era
25000 genes as human body completely deciphered, of course, there is related to the skin and aging of genes have been cracked and has just begun, but hidden in the large enterprise mergers and acquisitions between already simmering, many companies involved, roche pharmaceutical companies spend $46.8 billion acquisition of genetic technology, glaxosmithkline, using a 720 million acquisition of sirtris anti-aging gene technology.
There are many companies began to gene for the concept of propaganda, of course, there are enterprises has entered the transition.The characteristics of this era, it is more closely, more scientific, because the technology is advanced, and his novel, there must be strict clinical and empirical, strict detection, gene technology all over the world are strictly controlled.The trend of the future is everyone's physical examination is the genome scan, according to the change of map to verify the product efficacy, some American already do this work.This is also a trend in the future.

Personality shoe box style

The weather suddenly turned cold, soso to find wear short boots.Shoes looks very new, even with the kind of shoes are on sale at the counter of this year.Just, old and new, fashion or not, it doesn't matter.It is important that this is my first pair of high heels in life.

Every girl has a about life in the story of the first pair of high heels, like every boy will have a story about the first girl in life.For women, high heels represents the transformation from a girl into a woman, which both of their life dreams of the future, also has the no-clasp past of the time want to stay.If put the first pair of high heels and about the story of the book collection, want to be a feast of mixed emotions.

I will buy this combination with short boots, is both an accident, is also understandable.

Accident because both to outsiders, and in my heart of hearts, accept the extent to which I was a child is far better than think I am a girl, and even naive to think that I can T-shirt, jeans, sneakers for life.And at that time I enjoy life sandals are stubbornly, heart was filled with deep fear for high heels, afraid of what would it be fairy tale magic red shoes, spinning, and the youthful years away.

Understandable because a small corner in the deep heart's core, I look forward to the change.Remember a friend said to me, why not give it a try?Not try, how do you know is bad.May be better, not worse.

Then, standing in front of the counter, struggle for a long time, there is the first pair of high heels packaging in the life.

Admire those wearing high heels, emits the queen aura, still can have legs of the girls.My first time wearing high heels on the road, torture yourself too painful: foot base, nostalgic, grinding up several bubble;Don't go, less than skills, knees, legs ache;There is no aura, kids like sister stole the shoes...
More important, for me to try and pay, and didn't get a word of comfort and appreciated, instead of the wedge is more and more requirements.

I suddenly understand that change, there will be some external form, such as a pair of high heels, in the end, but still fall on the heart.The girls of the aura, is not only from a pair of shoes, but from confidence and calm.Just, I was not yet ready, everything, are not ready yet.

Shed so-called metamorphosis panoply, high-heeled shoes is a pair of shoes, however, just in a spare parts more than sneakers.Untie the knot, put down the obsession, calm and comfortable, relaxed many.I don't wear don't wear high heels, but this is me, may be the most bad, also may be the best I, if I can't accept yourself, who can accept me?

Just my high-heeled shoes, did not end there.Soon, I will have the second and third high heels in the life.I told myself, have the courage to try, calm face.
Although sometimes will still limped to the, but now wear high heels to walk, along the trip a lot.Listen the heel with rhythm, the beat on the ground, the sound of looked up, smiling, corner to the girls who wear sandals to little envy eyes, like himself.Finally to taste the queen of the so-called aura, but the feeling is very strange, just like you to eat a bowl of been acclaimed delicious braised pork rice, found that taste good, but not to fondle admiringly.

Count the days, the number of days to wear high heels is not much, once in a while.Had tried some things, it is good.More often or wear flat shoes, feet on the ground, ground, is suitable for the city in this in a hurry.However, I know, even wear flat shoes, and also is not the same as the original own, because on the flats girl, looked up, smiling.

Luxury watch with packaging

For most people, the watch just to see the time, and quartz watch is not only accurate, and stable quality, reasonable price, it is no wonder that quartz watch critically acclaimed, become the only option for most people watch when the choose and buy.Many people don't even know if the watch still points quartz watches and mechanical watches!And mechanical watch needs regular maintenance and repair also need to rigorous skill requirements, not like quartz watch is almost a standard replacement parts.However, why still so many people addicted to the world of mechanical watch?Not only spend a motorcycle or car, buy a only the people have no appreciation of watches, and even dismantling watches, studying watches knowledge, night and day, never bored?In fact, really a lot of reasons, for each person, also is not the same.We might as well to discuss from several different angles packaging.

Mechanical watch need maintenance is too much trouble, in the 21st century today also need maintenance watch?


And in the world, there is no gain and loss, but things change!This is the truth of life.If we don't take care of yourself, don't eat not to drink, of course, I'll die, because the food and drink is the starting point of life support.Watch is man-made, and certainly not immune to the survival of the earth.Man-made objects if can from this rule, really difficult to imagine, also not practical.Watch nature also comply with the laws of this natural 藟 including maintenance.But also because of mechanical watch have such similarity with life and living organisms, many people on the mechanical watch packaging a similar pity emotion, or even treat children or sweetheart's feelings, nature and treatment of a large number of production of quartz watch, damaged or abandoned feeling greatly different.


Quartz does not need to rely on human, regular rotation on the dial, the interaction between it and the human is not important.In this way, mechanical watch like human tabulation technology, tradition and culture of seed offspring, and each apple quartz watch is under the industrial process of icy objects in a large number of products.


Mechanical watches and close dependence relationship between the wearer, it is very subtle.From a technical perspective, have totally dependent on relationship between the two, because nobody wear, mechanical watch is not functioning.Whatever you want on the chain, or if the chain automatically, wrist watch from watch with every movement gained momentum in everyday life.Mechanical watch running fully trust in humans.Such as time consuming to maintain your mechanical watch, you can see it into is a way of true feelings, love life, many mechanical watch fans are keen on this kind of feeling, is keen to maintain.


Mechanical watches, of course, and is there any other relationship between the wearer, you and the relationship between the wrist watch, like you and your car!Manual will be better than an automatic?Although may be an automatic and practical, but I like manual, because it will bring me direct mechanical tactility, produce heart moved.Mechanical watches, for example, is one of the characteristics of sound, on chain, build sound, each table core card sound have different taste.Exquisite table core complex table, multi-functional core, voices and the sound, is quieter, more regular than cheap.Would you feel especially when you use hand chain, crown and close contact between the thumb and index finger, let you produce an ineffable heart throb.


Mechanical watches can be handed down from ancient times to the eternity of art?

Mechanical watch is one of the beauty of the fire of life, can never extinguished.Mechanical watch unique operation does not rely on science and technology.Machine table can be used repeatedly repair.Some are found in the 14th century the first generation of antique mechanical clock, still keep running over time and the great ship, maintain the normal operation function.Saint mark's square in Venice, the clock tower has one thousand years of history, but it is still one thousand years like one day to precision swing!

Perfume with luxury packaging

In ancient times, humans have used spices to change human body odour of spices used and as the origin of the upper series of smelting patent perfume has forgotten with the passage of time.

When the real French perfume industry comes from?
Based on careful blending essence of French perfume industry, the emergence of synthetic products can be traced back to the 19th century, one of the most famous is around 1900 to let professor synthesis acetaldehyde.

Perfume industry, like all the other industrial, always can quickly adapt to the various social upheaval, time to develop off scent to east or floral perfume is one example.
People continue to create more novel and unique flavor, thus formed a part of the perfume world, the trend has become a sign of The Times of our lives.

Ancient Persia In ancient Persia, perfume is a symbol of identity and status. In the palace, the emperor must be one of the most delicious. The Greek Greek mythology the perfume that is invented the perfume with packaging , the gods, smell the fragrance represents is the coming of the gods and blessing. The Roman Wealthier Romans pursuit of luxury fashion, they like delicious water on the floor and walls, like horses and dogs for their pet wearing perfume, delicious water to the triumph of the army of the flag. Italy After the 15th century, perfume has been widely used, and start with tallow spices. This fashion soon spread to France, Britain and other European countries.
