Healthy Eating ~ Modern Market

What is old is new again. We see this from film, television, summer fashion trends, and food. The concept of farm to table is beginning to take traction in America. The concept that food is healthy, increases energy, and provides proper nutrients is a value many are finding for their lifestyle. 

Modern Market

Anthony Pigliacampo, co-owner of Modern Market, decides in 2009 the time was like no other to step aside his corporate job and begin a change in food choices for eating out. The ability to find a healthy choice at a reasonable price was the basis for the restaurant. This was the beginning of Modern Market.

Modern Market

Modern Market brings the farm to table concept with a modern flair. The food is prepared from farm fresh ingredients in each location each day. The staff  is trained and well prepared to cook each meal from scratch that nourishes the mind and body. The food philosophy is, "Have you ever noticed, when you eat great food you feel good?"

Pigliacampo attends the soft opening of Ahwahnee's Modern Market. He states, "healthy food, every ingredient we consciously source. "We actually find the vendor, negotiate with our vendors about the quality products. Arizona is a good location for farm to table. Many of our greens are literally 30 hours ground to our restaurant."  The philosophy is a holistic view on health, added sugar is the devil and good fats are friends.

Serving Up The Golden Globes

Golden Globes start off the 2017 award season. This is the time of the year that Hollywood gathers to recognize the talent in film and television. Golden Globes will kick the season off with a red carpet, dinner, and award ceremony at beautiful Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. Dinner this evening will be served.

Executive Chef Alberico Nunziata, at The Beverly Hilton, will serve 1300 guests a surf and turf  Italian themed menu. Executive Pastry Chef Thomas Henzi will continue the Italian them with a trio of  Italian desserts with a modern twist. The evening will pop with Moët & Chandon champaign. Olivia Culpo has crafted a champaign cocktail to sparkle up the evening. 

Chef Nunziata states, "it is an honor to cook for this a big event." Chef Nunziata is know for creating a harmonizing meal with raw ingredients. The evening will start with the a golden beet salad. This salad will tie with the gold theme of the night. It is prepared with winter greens, golden beets, watermelon radish, goat cheese, grapefruit and roasted pistachios, and ceviche lime dressing. The main course includes risotto with porcini mushrooms and parmesan reggiano, broccolini flowers, grilled filet mignon, and Chilean sea bass, "the king of the fish," Chef Nunziata. The Italian theme continues to dessert. 

Executive Pastry Chef Thomas Henzi says, "the days before are like an orchestra." The dessert includes: a twist on a tiramisu with gianduja crunch bars with chocolate, Nutella mousse on top, lady fingers with coffee and caramel, and mascarpone cream, a Neapolitan almond cake with orange mascarpone cream and  orange gelatina on top, and and profiteroles filled with amaretto vanilla cream and topped with crunchy sugared almonds. The evening meal is almost complete. 

Bringing the award ceremony, dinner, and dessert full circle is a champaign cocktail. Olivia Culpo creates a great cocktail with champagne, cherry bitter and orange liqueur. This will tie the citrus flavors found in the appetizer and dessert courses. Want to celebrate with the state you can create the sparkling drink:

½ oz. orange liqueur
2 dashes cherry bitters
3 oz. champagne
1 orange twist
1 rock candy stick

Pour orange liqueur into a champagne flute and add cherry bitters. Gently pour chilled Champagne. Garnish with Rock Candy stick and orange twist. Share your cocktail photos here.

The room will be filled with beautiful orange roses. Mark Held from Mark's Garden states, "we wanted to start 2017 off with a really happy color. The orange will really be a pop of color, dramatic, and look good on television."  This will tie the meal, cocktail, and room decor. Italy meets LA this evening at the Golden Globes. 

The Golden Globes is a night filled with glamour, entertainment, and a few surprises. Share your insights, party, and stories about the night with #4ChionStyle.
