by Souperchef Anna onSouperChef Anna’s Message | Random Musings 2019 My staff were all a little baffled when I suggested the month’s theme to be “Random Musings”. “Eh, Anna”, they asked, “What do you mean by random? Anything goes? No specific marketing angle or soups you want to promote?” Yes, anything goes indeed. And here’s why. Ever […]

SouperChef Anna’s Message | SouperFoods 2019
by Souperchef Anna onSouperChef Anna’s Message | Souperfoods 2019 I get asked this a lot — What is “superfood”? This nutritional buzzword gets thrown around a lot in the food scene and almost everything is labelled a “superfood” these days. At best, it’s a nutrient powerhouse. At worst, the labelling is superfluous, overhyped by marketing ingenuity. In fact, […]

SouperChef Anna’s Message | Ohana
by Souperchef Anna onSouperChef’s Message | Ohana I fell straight and deep in love with the concept of ohana the moment I read about it. This ancient Hawaiian term means family, but not necessarily in a blood-related manner. It’s deeply personal and possibly pertually evolving.

by Souperchef Anna onSouperChef’s Message | Fantastic 16 (Round 2) He would have been 15 on his next birthday. I read that it’s a myth to multiply your dog’s age in human years by seven to get his age in dog years, but suffice to say, Junior was a grand old lad. He was wise and composed, almost […]
