 Kate Receives Cookbook Dedicated to Canadian Cuisine from Local Chef Jamie Zettle
Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) July 01, 2011 Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, will have numerous opportunities to savour the very best of Canadian cuisine throughout the Royal Tour of Canada from June 30 to July 8, 2011. Local Canadian chef Jamie Zettle is helping her navigate the gastronomical landscape.
In preparation for her visit, the Duchess of Cambridge received a copy of Feeding your guy Life and Love in the Kitchen by Canadian chef Jamie Zettle as a primer on uniquely Canadian cuisine. Along with advice and guidance from the chef, this cookbook also explained for Kate the wonderful peculiarities of Canadian cuisine, how to prepare local specialties and what to expect on her first visit to Canada. For good measure, the cookbook offers gentle advice for successful relationships and marriages.
Released by the Canadian publishing house Millstone Press and supported by its own website at http://www.feedingyourguy.com, Feeding your guy Life and Love in the Kitchen cookbook is blend of delicious recipes, heartfelt observations on food, dating and marriage and humorous admissions of the pitfalls, laughs and tears of relationships and marriage.
Throughout their tour of Canada, William and Kate will sample a wide variety of local Canadian specialties at each stop on their itinerary. On Canada Day in Ottawa, the question on everyone’s mind will be whether Kate will try a beaver tail? Beaver tails are in fact Canadian donuts shaped in the form of a beaver tail, served warm with icing sugar and cinnamon, very popular in Ontario especially during the winter months and served at the Rideau Canal, the longest skating rink in the world.
The Byward Market in Ottawa will also offer Ontario heritage cuisine, featuring butter tarts lining bakery shelves, wines from the Niagara region and locally grown MacIntosh apples and strawberries. In the province of Quebec, in Montreal and in Quebec City, Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, artisan cheeses, sugar pie, tourtière and a fortified wine called Cariboo enjoyed during Winter Carnival are local favourites.
During Catherine’s visit to the Anne of Green Gables historic site in Prince Edward Island, sea scallops, fresh Atlantic salmon and East coast lobster pot are certainly local standbys. Finally, during their stops in the North West Territories and Alberta seal, caribou, bison and prairie fed beef and the freshest Canadian summer fruits and vegetables will grace their plates.
Being a land of multiculturalism, given the opportunity, William and Kate could satisfy almost any craving for ethnic cuisine. In Toronto, Ontario alone, half of the population was born outside of Canada. Toronto’s rich multi-cultural diversity is expressed by the more than 200 distinct ethnic origins and the corresponding wide variety of cuisines are available to the adventurous.
Perhaps one of the most iconic and distinct Toronto offerings, although one that is not fairly well known, is the peameal bacon sandwich, normally served on a Kaiser roll. The most famous offerings of the sandwich are found at Paddington’s Pump, Sausage King and Carousel Bakery, all coincidentally enough located in the St Lawrence Market.
When asked to comment the author said “I am very pleased that my new cookbook, Feeding your guy, has reached the hands and kitchen of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. I hope they enjoy the very best of Canadian cuisine and am pleased to assist in explaining its specialties and peculiarities.”

Prominent Statistics Educators Present Workshops for Florida Teachers
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) July 07, 2011 Prominent statistics educators attending the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) in Miami Beach, Florida, will participate in two workshops for Florida teachers sponsored by the American Statistical Association. The first program, titled “Meeting within a Meeting (MWM),” was developed to help teachers meet current mathematics and science standards for teaching statistics. The workshop will be held August 2-3 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
“One of the key missions of the ASA is to work for the improvement of statistical education at all levels,” said Ron Wasserstein, ASA executive director. “We are pleased to reach out to Florida 5-12 math and science teachers through the MWM and BAPS workshops and follow-up activities. It is fitting to hold this workshop in conjunction with JSM, the world’s largest annual gathering of statisticians, where thousands from around the world meet to share advances in statistical knowledge and education.”
The primary goal of the 2011 MWM program is to provide an opportunity for teachers to enhance their knowledge and teaching of data analysis and statistics within the mathematics and science curriculum and to learn hands-on activities they can use in their own classrooms to strengthen the teaching of statistics in their schools. It also provides participants with a network of statisticians and educators to assist in developing the quantitative literacy of their students. The course fee for the two-day program is $ 50, and information and a link to register are at http://www.amstat.org/education/mwm.
The second workshop – “Beyond AP Statistics” (BAPS) – is offered for experienced advanced placement statistics teachers and provides enrichment material beyond the basic AP syllabus. Presenters for the four sessions on August 3 are the following noted statisticians: Linda Young, University of Florida; Robin Lock, St. Lawrence University; Allan Rossman & Beth Chance, Cal Poly; and Tom Short, John Carroll University. The session takes place from 8:30 to 4:30 pm at the Miami Beach Convention Center on Wednesday, August 3. Cost is $ 50 for the day, and optional graduate credit is available. Complete information and a link to register for the course are located at http://www.amstat.org/education/baps.
There is space available for both workshops, but space is limited, so interested teachers should register as soon as possible. For questions regarding the workshops, please contact Rebecca Nichols, K–16 education manager, at rebecca(at)amstat(dot)org, or call (703) 684-1221.

2011 Global Spa Summit will Shine Spotlight on Fastest-Growing Global Spa, Hotel and Tourism Market
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 19, 2011 The Global Spa Summit (GSS), the leading annual event for spa and wellness industry executives, heads to Asia for the first time in its five-year history when the conference convenes in Bali, Indonesia from May 15-18, 2011. And, under the 2011 Summit theme “Engage the Change: The Customer. The Money. The Future,” a key focus of the agenda will be to explore the diverse, emerging spa and wellness markets; investment opportunities; and hospitality/tourism models across the Asia-Pacific region – the fastest-growing hotel and spa economy in the world.
“With the Global Spa Summit coming to Bali in 2011, the entire Asia-Pacific region will benefit from a wealth of up-to-date industry knowledge and the collective insight of the global industry players that will gather,” noted Andrew Jacka, Chairman of the Asia Pacific Spa & Wellness Coalition (APSWC), a non-profit organization formed to bridge organizations across the region’s spa and wellness industries. “Diverse therapies that spa operators around the world now consider ‘standard spa menu offerings’ all have their roots firmly in Asia. We look forward to welcoming the worldwide spa industry to Asia Pacific.”
Research firms concur that across nearly every metric, from overall economic and tourism growth – to the hotel/spa pipeline – to hotel financial performance measures, Asia Pacific is the current leader and future “market to watch.”
A Few Facts:
Quickest Economic Rebound: For Asia Pacific hotels, the falloff from the global recession was the briefest, and the recovery fastest, compared with any global region. Occupancy, Average Daily Rate and RevPAR all clocked double-digit increases in 2010 over 2009.
Experts on Asia Pacific Spa Industry Growth:
Julie Garrow, Founder & Managing Director of Intelligent Spas, a leading independent research company specializing in the spa industry: “The majority of spa owners and managers in the Asia Pacific region predict double-digit growth in total spa revenue in 2011. Many spa concepts put on hold during the downturn are now back on track, and preliminary results of Intelligent Spas’ Global Spa Benchmark Program suggest the size of the regional spa industry is forecast to increase by approximately 16% during 2011.”
Andrew Jacka, Chairman of the Asia Pacific Spa & Wellness Coalition (APSWC) “The Asia Pacific spa market has shown rapid growth in recent years, often exceeding 20% annually, as the middle class expands and society as a whole recognizes the importance of preventative healthcare. We see further steady and sustainable industry growth for the Asia-Pacific spa industry in the foreseeable future.”

CAMEyeO Inc Deploys Matchmaking Application For Facebook
Buffalo Grove, IL (PRWEB) June 15, 2010 CAMEyeO, Inc. has built U2ShouldMeet, a new Facebook application that allows a Facebook “friend” to “be a matchmaker”. The application has been built for friends introducing friends, traditional matchmaking businesses (adding an online, yet personal component to their businesses), and for Indian, Jewish, Chinese (as examples) communities to help in the matchmaking process within their respective social networks.
Whether running a traditional matchmaking service or simply wanting to be a matchmaker for “friends”, a Facebook member can use U2ShouldMeet as an extra tool.

U2ShouldMeet is powered by CAMEyeO, Inc.’s online video product. Dan Wellisch of CAMEyeO, Inc. says, “We had to tweak the CAMEyeO product to function on Facebook as the security rules are very strict, and Facebook has become under pressure lately to ensure that users are in control of their privacy settings. Nevertheless, we figured it out and work within those security constraints. U2ShouldMeet asks that users provide their email address so our system can internally send confirmations and reminders for the online video dates. Email addresses are never shared among other Facebook members, but used only by our system. U2ShouldMeet provides anonymity of ALL information between members even after the video date that they have. U2ShouldMeet application users do not have to be Facebook friends in order to have an online video date. This is a very important security feature.
We want people to utilize online video and tell all their friends about it. We are interested in making U2ShouldMeet the killer matchmaking application for safe, anonymous, online video dating on Facebook.”

Valued Opinions Survey Shows Chinese Food is Firm Favourite in Take Away Britain
(PRWEB) December 26, 2010 Valued Opinions, the leading paid surveys site, has conducted a new online survey which revealed that Chinese food is Britain’s favourite takeaway treat. Chinese came out ahead of Indian, Italian, Thai and Greek, as well as traditional English fish and chips, reflecting the British appetite for global cuisine that has transformed national eating habits in recent years.
Britain’s multiculturalism has injected a rich mix of diversity into UK cuisine. The takeaway market in particular reflects how Brits are enjoying foods from every corner of the globe. In the recent Valued Opinions online opinion poll (http://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/) on the UK’s favourite takeaways, Chinese was the first choice for 38% of respondents. Next in line was Indian (22%) followed closely by pizza, preferred by 18%. The traditional English fish and chips/ burger and chips option was top of the list for 13% of respondents. The other takeaway choices – kebabs, Thai and Greek, were the favourite for only a small percentage (3%, 2% and 1% respectively) of those who gave an online opinion (http://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/about/service/).
The Valued Opinions survey reflects the way that Britain’s takeaway market bears the imprint of its various immigrant communities. Many Indian takeaway meals in the UK have evolved significantly from authentic Indian originals. Chicken Tikka Masala, a firm favourite on the takeaway menu, was actually invented in Britain. Robin Cook, former foreign secretary, even pointed to it as symbolic of the nation’s multiculturalism: “Chicken Tikka Masala is now a true British national dish… because it is a perfect illustration of the way Britain absorbs and adapts external influences. Chicken Tikka is an Indian dish. The Masala sauce was added to satisfy the desire of British people to have their meat served in gravy.”
Even what seems like a firm, traditional British meal – fish and chips – has its roots elsewhere. Chips date back to the seventeenth century and come from either Belgium or France, and Jewish refugees from Spain and Portugal brought fried fish to Britain at about the same time.
Eating foods from all over the world is an easy and pleasant way to celebrate cultural diversity. However, it’s hard to tell whether takeaway outlets truly reflect a society that embraces different cultures and traditions or whether Brits simply like variety in their food.
Valued Opinions allows internet users to have their say on subjects and get paid to take surveys (http://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/rewards) on numerous topics.
About Valued Opinions (http://www.valuedopinions.co.uk/about/):
The survey topics are tailored to member’s preferences and can include anything from green issues to healthy living, fast food to slow trains, politicians to favourite film.
Made up of more than 2 million members globally, the Valued Opinions community provides market research companies with access to untapped opinions from a large database of consumers.

Manhattan’s first Indo-Chinese restaurant now open.
(PRWEB) February 5, 2004 While the tandoori naan, the chicken tikkas, the dosas and the mango lassis made their way to New York decades ago, Chinese Mirch is the first to bring the Indo- Chinese cuisine to Manhattan. An immensely popular cuisine in India, it is a fusion of wok style cooking with Indian herbs and spices especially the green and red chilies. The food is zesty, flavorful and a refreshing change from the ubiquitous Indian curries.
The owner of Chinese Mirch, Vik Lulla, a third generation restaurateur from India has recreated authentic dishes that draw ecstatic praises from the Indians in Manhattan who have been craving this food from back home for the longest time . One can’t get enough of the ‘chili chicken’ a fiery stir fried chicken dish, the ‘crispy schezuan lamb’ prepared with shredded lamb that is painstakingly cooked twice to tenderize it and then made crisp or the ‘manchurian prawns’ – tiger prawns cooked to perfection in a sauce with minced onions, garlic and green chilies all of which are hand grinded for several hours to get the right texture. The ‘vegetable shanghai’ is the vegan favorite- minced vegetable balls prepared in a vibrant red sauce with just the right heat.
Some of the less fiery but very inspired dishes include ‘chilled chinese salad’- crispy noodles served over chilled julienned veggies with a honey vinaigrette dressing, ’sauteed string beans’ – long beans sautéed in black bean sauce and ‘fish in garlic sauce’- flounder fillets in a delicate sauce aromatic of garlic.
Skip the side of steamed rice accompanying all entrees and you have the perfect Atkins friendly diet as well.
The desserts are irresistible too. ‘Banana toffee’- chunks of banana caramelized with honey and sesame and the ‘date pancake’- thin crisps filled with rich moist dates and drizzled with chocolate sauce are a must have.
All dishes are moderately priced with the entrees ranging from $ 6.75 to $ 12.95 with a meal for two averaging under $ 25. The lunch special at $ 6.95 with soup or spring roll and entrée with fried rice or noodles is a steal.
The atmosphere of Chinese Mirch is intimate and the décor is clean simplicity .White walls with subtle tropical green hues here and there set it apart from its dreary curry hill neighbors. The mahogany bamboo chairs with hand carved details and the ivory silk screen tables lend it an air of cool casual elegance without screaming Oriental.
