Malawi's Pizza: Pizza with a Purpose

Shop at More Food Adventures

I have heard of so many strategies to raise funds for the needy. But here's a delicious idea that I have seen online. And I salute the owner of Malawi's in Provo for this really generous kindness. Imagine, every time one orders pizza, or for every meal one would buy, they will provide a nutritious meal to a child in Malawi, Africa. I guess that's how they got the cafe's name too.

So whether you order pizza, pasta, salads or desserts, it's a one-to-one donation that goes a long way. I wish we have that here too, so that many people can partake of the delicious food, all with fresh ingredients, and help the children in Malawi, Africa as well. That's not just doing good business but also building good karma.

Maybe this idea can also be applied here in our country. What with the many children that are hungry in the far flung barangays. What with the many school children who go to school with nothing in their stomachs to help them absorb the lessons at school. What with the many hungry mouths, too many to feed, for a father with a meager income. Ah.. This is indeed a very good idea. But not too appealing for many restaurant-owners, concessionaires and businessmen. If I will see a store or cafe or restaurant who will do this same thing, I would truly be thankful.

Choosing Cutlery

Shop at More Food Adventures

Perhaps you need a chef knife or some other piece of cutlery – it’s fun to shop for new things but when it comes to choosing the right cutlery the decision making process can be daunting. All new knives look shiny and sharp but they don’t all hold an edge or perform well over time. That’s why it’s a good idea to go with brand name cutlery by top makers – JA Henckels and Wüsthof® cutlery come to mind as they have both been around for a very long time.

The JA Henckels brand originated in 1895 so they have had over a century to develop the most efficient designs and the best quality goods; in fact they are known as the value for money brand of cutlery and one of the leading manufacturers of high quality knives. Value conscious customers along with amateur and professional cooks appreciate a good quality knife and an educated consumer will look for some specific features which can help to determine quality and craftsmanship. 

Precise workmanship is essential – the parts of the knife should be joined seamlessly with no transition between the bolster and handle which could harbor germs and bacteria. The surface finish of the blade should be finely ground and refined to get its compressed surface. The handle and bolster should be ergonomically designed to ensure a safe grip and reduce the chance of slippage. Cutting edge retention is important – it means a knife will be sharp for a longer period of time. Corrosion resistance is another important factor and a by-product of how finely the surface of the blade is ground or polished.
