Remember me posting about how excited I was about attending Feast Portland about a week or so ago. Well I can’t wait to share some of my favorite photos of food I tried in the next post. But for now I will share a bit about my new kitchen appliances from Wolf Gourmet.
I got to work with Wolf Gourmet and shoot some photos for them at Feast this past weekend. Their products are so sleek, modern, powerful and just stunning. I was so glad to add some of their products to my kitchen collection, especially excited about the beautiful blender. I created a quick healthy smoothie before heading out for the day of feasting.
This blender has got great counter appeal. I love the touch of red on the knob to play off the red touches I have in my kitchen already. It has a ultra-responsive variable speed powered by the 2.4 peak HP motor propels the blades to speeds over 210 mph. A twist of the dial allows you to blend ingredients to your exact preference. I can’t wait to make some more smoothies, soups and test it out to grind coffee? Maybe not coffee, which it does do, but soup for sure will be my next project with this new kitchen appliance.

- Chop roasted pineapple into small pieces. In a medium bowl, combine pineapple, cucumber, onion, and jalapeño. Season to taste with lime juice and salt. Serve with chicken tacos and avocado crema.
I also got to check out their beautiful Countertop Oven at Feast as they were making one of the two dishes they were serving. The awesome thing is, it’s a perfect convection oven that you can use instead of turning on your big oven. great as an extra oven when you have a lot to bake or roast. It’s the perfect appliance to add to your wish list for the coming up holiday season and use when family or friends are coming to dinner.
The next recipe is for the second dish that was served at Feast. It was a delectable bite of toast, topped with ricotta, roasted plums, honey, orange zest and black pepper

Smoothie is my most favorite “meal” of the day. And to have the best meal, I’m using the best blender to blend all of my favorite fruits and veggies in one delicious drink. My personal favorite is the Ninja Mega Kitchen System. It is the top of the line, fully loaded blender with many attachments to make cooking and blending easy. What’s more is that it is super easy to clean up, has a sturdy construction, sharp blades and to top it all, very safe to use! It’s definitely worth the price.
