Sara La Fountain

I almost forgot!

It was 

Monday morning.

Been out late for the last

3 consecutive nights.

"Working".

That's what they call it these days.

Then I saw a reminder on my

phone

& 

promptly decided on an entire new outfit

for the day.

You know... a

look that

goes from 

"day into night!"

Asian Food Channel
&

...this other famous brand,

brought in

Sara La Fountain,

to showcase a 

Taste Of Finland.

When I think about

 Finland,

two things come to mind...

Nokia

& 

Marimekko.

The latter is famous for

their

extraordinary

prints that's to die for.

Oh...& also 

Finlandia Vodka

...only because of their

beautiful bottle!

Really.

But food?

Anyway,

Sara is

 incredibly beautiful.

And

 photogenic.

I doubt there's ever a bad photo taken

of her.

It's simply impossible.

Any angle.

Any lighting.

Any type of camera.

I was fortunate to be given the opportunity

to have a

 private chat.

Which was fun as she was totally

relaxed and engaging!

What is your favorite color?

Black & Pink at the moment.

What were you last thinking of?

Persimmons.

What excites you?

People.

Favorite city?

New York City.

Next Holiday destination?

Hoping it'll be

 Ireland.

Biggest worry?

Not living in the moment.

Jazz or Pop?

Jazz.

Linen or cotton?

Cotton.

Favorite ingredient?

Passion Fruit.

New Delhi or Singapore?

Singapore.

Where is cuisine heading?

"I think it's going to be fresh, open & vibrant.

Because people are travelling, cultures colliding.

Local & organic ingredients,

with a large dose of

"super foods".

People are thinking more about food,

slowing down &

getting the best nutrition.

New flavors with less complexities."

Sara came out with a

 bowler hat 

on her china doll crop.

Very chic.

Her voice was...

Assured.

Confident.

Happy.

Her stride

 bold

&

 sleek.

Asian Food Channel 

did a great job of ensuring

that the evening went smoothly.

This was obviously a girl 

used to getting loads of 

attention.

She handles it well.

Not a hint of 

arrogance....

nor conceit.

Sara was a model at one stage in her life.

She knows how to 

work the camera.

Being American-Finnish,

probably gave her a global outlook.

She works hard.

Already has 

several cookbooks

 under her wing.

Cooking shows.

A line of 

cookware & professional shoes 

for the kitchen is on the pipeline.

Sara readily admits to her

 love for travel.

Incidentally,
the colors on this folder is amazing!

OK...now back to Sara!

During our conversation,
Sara came across as
 warm,
caring & frank.

A little playful perhaps!

Oh...take a look at this.

Now, that's good design.

That's her little doggie...

Amelie.

The 3 course menu for the night...

Vorschmack with Marinated Beets

Crayfish Salad with boiled Quails Egg,Radish,Avocado,

Asparagus, Dill-Mayonnaise
&

Cilantro-Ginger Dressing

Karelia Stew 

or

Archipelago Fish plate with Lobster Champagne Broth

Blueberry Baked Alaska

It's very special to come across

a person

with heaps of 

enthusiasm

& 

style.

Sara La Fountain

has that in abundance.

She's also 

energetic, eager

&

 sharp.

All the tools necessary to carve out a 

bright future.

In or out of the kitchen!

Keep on smiling Sara!!!

Nakemiin!
