I meant to post about Food Revolution almost two months ago, when I volunteered as a photographer at the group’s first event in Kuwait. Clearly, I didn’t get around to posting anything about the event! I volunteered at another workshop yesterday and this time I’m not putting off writing about it, mainly because I firmly believe in this group’s cause in wanting to encourage  healthy living.

Food Revolution Kuwait Budour

The Food Revolution is a global movement initiated by Jamie Oliver to change the way people eat. A mass social event took place in May and aimed to educate everybody about the harms of processed food, give people better alternatives and promote cultural change on a large-scale (targeting schools, corporations and even governments). Spearheading the Food Revolution in Kuwait is health coach Juna Al-Awadhi, nutritionist Dr. Nada Al-Ragum and organic food fanatic and entrepreneur Jumana Al-Awadhi of  www.welovekuwait.com.

Photos: Hot cocoa

This deliciously thick soy milk hot cocoa was perfection. I enjoyed it during my recent trip to Dubai at the Boulevard Cafe located in Almanzil Hotel.

Video: EAT

I’m sorry for just posting films these days but there are so many beautifully made food-related mini films that I can’t not share them with you!

This film combines my two favorite activities: eating and traveling. Three guys travelled to 11 countries in 44 days and documented their trip through the food they had. Two other films were also produced: Move and Learn.
