Welcome to The Foodies’ Kitchen Shop!

Today is Helga’s birthday (Happy Birthday B!), and since we love to share all our joy with you, we are unveiling part of the surprise we’ve been working since January. One of the things we want for The Foodies’ Kitchen, is that it not only serves you as a huge recipe book (of tested recipes), but also as a great resource for all things kitchen. So today, we launch The Foodies’ Kitchen Shop.

Powered by Amazon, this is the place where you will find links to almost all of the products we use in our daily cooking and baking, so you can get them too. The other products and gadgets we haven’t tested, are on our wish lists! Why keep them a secret when it can be a great idea well for you too. Since this is an affiliate store, with every purchase you make we get a small percentage. With that out of the way, back to business.

We divided our store into different categories:

You’ll find the cutest cupcake liners, and you will find them organized by color, as well as the sprinkles. In the books section you’ll find both books, like Julia Child’s My Life in France, and cooking books that both of us have (or want!).

We hope you love the store as much as we do, and if you want us to add a product or gadget that you love, let us know! We would be more than happy to add it to the store too!

Foodies Freebie: April 2013 Wallpaper Collection

Summer is at its peak in Guatemala, and after relaxing last week we are back with batteries charged… And still working on that surprise that Helga mentioned before. April 2013 Wallpaper Collection features Watermelon.

Watermelon is a vine-like flowering plant originally from southern Africa. Its fruit is also called watermelon and has a smooth exterior rind (green, yellow and sometimes white) and a juicy, sweet interior flesh (usually deep red to pink, but sometimes orange, yellow and even green if not ripe). It is cousins to cucumbers, pumpkins and squash. Watermelon is 92% water and early explorers used watermelons as canteens.

Here are a few tips to pick a good watermelon:

  1. Look the watermelon over. You are looking for a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is free from bruises, cuts or dents.
  2. Lift it up. The watermelon should be heavy for its size. Watermelon is 92% water, most of the weight is water.
  3. Turn it over. The underside of the watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun.

Foodies Freebie: March 2013 Desktop Calendar

Summer is here! Well, at least in Guatemala… With summer come these delicious fruits, that we think come straight from the gods. We share these 3 fun facts about this versatile fruit from Mango.org:

  • The Mango is a symbol of love in India, and a basket of mangoes is considered a gesture of friendship.
  • Legend says that Buddha meditated under the cool shade of a mango tree.
  • Mangoes have natural tenderizing properties, making them a perfect ingredient for marinades.

Now, we can show you How to Cut a Mango but we know what you came for here: Our March 2013 Desktop freebie. Today we are expanding our wallpaper family from the Desktop to the iPad and iPhone. We designed these specifically for iPad and iPhone, including the iPhone 5, iPad with Retina display and the iPad Mini. We hope you enjoy it!
