Come Cook with Deena Naidoo @CarnivalCitySA #FrysFamily @Deenamcsa @FrysFamily

Hi Guys, 

On the 11th of March, the Fry’s Family Food Co. put on the “Come cook with Deena Naidoo” event, combining great food, and information about healthy eating, for their loyal customers.

“Come Cook with Deena Naidoo, powered by the Fry Family Food Co.” took place at the Sibya Casino, making use of their outdoor boma. The weather more than played its part, and participants were treated to a beautiful morning of cooking demos, food, health talks and prizes - all courtesy of Fry’s.

Fry's Prawns & Tomato Salsa

A big focus at the event was health information; “Soy is often demonized with many believing that the phyto-oestrogens contained in soy can cause feminizing effects in men and lead to breast cancer in women; both being completely false. In fact soy protects against the effects of high oestrogen levels and also protects against breast and prostate cancer. There are huge health differences between GM and non-GM soy and it is clear that non-GM soy is in fact great for your health and actually protective against the very diseases it has been demonized for.” Says Dr Paul Palmer, a plant based nutritionist and chiropractor who gave the audience members an informative talk on The Myths about Soy.

Cape Malay Coconut Curry

Celebrity Chef Deena Naidoo – South Africa’s first Masterchef - captivated guests with his take on meal time classics using Fry’s products. Guests were then invited to come up and cook with him while learning culinary tips and tricks along the way. Deena produced three dishes: Prawns and Tomato Salsa, Cape Malay Coconut Curry Served With Charred Apricots and Tuna Style Snacks - which can all be found on the Fry’s website. www.fryfamillyfood.co.za

Over R7,000 in cash prizes were given out, and guests were treated to a buffet lunch ranging from mini bunny chows, Fry’s Chicken-Style Strip stir fry, gourmet burgers and more. “It was a lovely, enjoyable morning for us. The food was delicious and Deena was entertaining and informative. It was a really interactive event, I loved it! We were so well taken care of.” one of the guests, Mireesha Narsai from Kloof said.

Tuna-Style snacks

With Ramayana period around the corner it just made sense for Fry’s to host an event like this; showcasing that when fasting, or reducing your meat intake, you can still make cooking fun and delicious. Fry’s also wanted to give back to our loyal customers and show our gratitude for the years of support.

The Fry Family Food Co., The Post, and Sun International are taking this event to Carnival City on the 25th of March where participants will be hosted by the hilarious Karou Charou.

Booking is essential and those interested can do so by emailing marketing@frygroup.co.za. T&C apply. Go check out this amazing workshop as I attended one two years back and it was the most wonderful and tasty experience.

Cheers!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Nov 2014

Hi Guys,

November last year was something I was looking forward to as it was time to plan the upcoming holidays in the festive season of December. I was very happy with the success of my blog as it started picking up and I got a lot of invites to attend the launch events from many brands. 

1. @SamsungSA #GALAXYNote4 - WORLD TOUR 2014 - CAPE TOWN - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/11/samsungsa-galaxynote4-world-tour-2014.html & http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/11/samsungmobilesa-galaxy-note-4-media.html - Samsung launched their flagship phablet Note4 and everything was grand about the launch event. I stayed at The Cullinan in CapeTown for the same and really loved the weather of the city. Cape Town is one of the best beach cities around the world. I really loved Note4 a lot as I got to review the same for a week. I took my Nikon D7000 to the event and took all the photographs using the same. 

2. @SurteeGroupZA - 7 For All Mankind - @SandtonCity Store Launch - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/11/surteegroupza-7-for-all-mankind.html - I really loved the photographs that I took at the launch event using my Samsung NX300. These branded jeans was way beyond the reach of my purchasing ability as the range starts from around R4500. It was great to be invited to all the launch events as you get to meet new people and make friends out of them. 

3. Automobilia Artworks & Memorabilia - Launch Johannesburg - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/11/automobilia-artworks-memorabilia-launch.html - If you a fan of F1 and everything related to fast cars and bikes then this will be a heaven for you in Johannesburg for all the collectibles that you can buy here at this shop. The launch was really an eye opener for me to go through all the types of collectibles that can be bought if you are a real fan. I used Samsung NX300 for covering this event. 

4. @FrysFamily Vegetarian Event @ Capsicum Culinary Studio, Johannesburg - http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/11/frysfamily-vegetarian-event-capsicum.html - It was my first class of cooking in a professional environment from everything that is vegetarian. I never thought that I can make some great dishes just following instructions of the experienced chef's from Capsicum Culinary School. The difficult part was the collaboration that I had to do with my partner in the class as we disagreed on presentation of our cooked food. Anyways, we won a dinner party for 10 fully sponsored by the Fry family of meat free vegetarian products made of Soya. I used Samsung NX300 for covering this event. 

5. Product Review - Mitchum Deodorants with Oxygen Odor Control

- http://www.thelifesway.com/2014/11/product-review-mitchum-deodorants-with.html - I really loved using the Mitchum Deodrants as they keep you sweat free for long hours. Deodorants is a necessity in summers and some people who don't use it really kills other people if they are travelling in bus, metro or any means of public transports. Revlon is the parent company behind the Mitchum range of deodorants. 

Overall, November was the month of packing as I was shifting my house as my family was joining me in Johannesburg. I really missed my time in my previous house as I watched and saw a lot of TV series online. From 24 to House of Cards to Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones I loved watching all the serials. 

Cheers!!!

@FrysFamily Vegetarian Event @ Capsicum Culinary Studio, Johannesburg

Hi Guys,

Recently, I was invited to experience something I always wanted to learn. It was an introduction session to cooking Fry's Family products by Chef Candice-Lee Clark. The evening included an interactive cooking session instructed by the Chef along with enjoying the scrumptious vegetarian meals, we prepared using Fry's range of products.

Here is the amazing Veg Chicken-Style Burgers served to all the invitees. They tasted amazingly good with a slice of pineapple over a bun and Fry's Meat Free Burgers.

The venue for this event was Capsicum Culinary Studio in Johannesburg which is also in 5 other locations namely Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria and others.Follow them on twitter, facebook & instagram.

The Chef Candice-Lee taking all of us through some of the best cooking sessions and lessons for life. We were all given the same amount of ingredients and instructions to cook and present our dishes.

Here is my first dish made using Fry's Cruspy Prawns cooked in Coconut curry, Chick peas along with some rice and wrap.

The second round was to make salad using all the veggies available along with Fry's Chicken Style Strips. I used avocado to make the DOME and won a party for me and my 9 friends fully sponsored by the Fry's at my own house. They also gifted us with amazing range of Fry's products to make them at home along with a Fry's recipe book.

I really loved the amazing session and learnt a lot to cook Fry's food in the fastest possible time. Follow them on instagram, twitter, facebook, Pinterest, and website.

Cheers!!!
