Floating Environmental Greenhouse


The floating environmental greenhouse on the Hudson River in New York is educational as well as environmental. Visited by school children and adults this naturally powered greenhouse grows vegetables hydroponically. The plants on this floating environment get all their nutrients from water instead of soil so they can adapt easily to urban environments where soil may be unhealthy, hard to find, or nonexistent. Read more about this incredible floating environment here:

Spices and Herbs

Spices and herbs are not the same. Spices are part of leafy green plants that are used for flavoring or garnish. Spices are used as medicine, in religious rituals, and in perfume products. Spices are even used as a vegetable in some areas! The best use we have found for spices is in gluten-free Euforia thousand-layer cakes!

THE NIBBLE

We just read in THE NIBBLE that the top pick of the week is Thousand Layer Cakes from Euforia Confections. 

This is what they said: "Each thin, delicious layer of thousand-layer cake is individually baked by artisans in Tucson, delivering moist texture and excellent lemon, spice or vanilla flavor. A special treat or gift, they’re also gluten free. We became so accustomed to enjoying one small slice a day that now, a day without Euforia is like a day without euphoria."

We couldn’t agree more with the review in NIBBLE magazine. For more information check out http://www.thenibble.com/zine/archives/thousand-layer-cake.asp

euforia Thousand-layer Cake - Lemon

The lemon (Citrus × limon) is a small evergreen tree native to Asia, and the tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit. The fruit's juice, pulp and peel, especially the zest, are used as foods. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, which gives lemons a sour taste. 

Lemons are ripe in winter and refreshing in summer, making them a perfect year-round flavor. Tangy lemon flavoring is the key to lemon's appeal. It gives a refreshing blast of citrus flavor. 

We are introducing the euforia Thousand-layer Cake with lemon flavor to delight your summer dessert experience. A luscious lemon flavored thousand layer cake bright flavor of lemon flavored sunshine! 

Fall in love with the luscious lemon layers that will tickle your taste buds with tangy sweetness.

The Itty Bitty Kitchen Handbook: Everything You Need to Know About Setting Up and Cooking in the Most Ridiculously Small Kitchen in the World


If your cluttered small kitchen makes you dread cooking even the simplest meal, it’s time for you to reclaim that space—and your sanity!—with this practical and witty guide. Here you will learn how to:


*Purge your kitchen of unnecessary, space-hogging STUFF 


* Maximize counter space


*Organize and streamline your kitchen for peak efficiency and easy cleanup
A resourceful cook will tell you that almost anything (except perhaps, a 25-pound turkey) can be cooked in a small kitchen. But not every cook thinks such a feat is possible, and for him or her, this book will shed some very useful light. A Manhattan apartment-dweller and art historian, Spring lays out the basics of small-kitchen cookery: order, naturally, is of utmost importance. Think like a small-sailboat galley slave (the author grew up on a 36-foot catamaran where the kitchen consisted of a camp stove, ice chest and bucket) and optimize space, he says, by, for example, keeping dish cupboards and cutlery drawers as close as possible to the sink to create economy of motion while washing dishes. In chatty and fun prose, Spring covers every aspect of cooking in a small space, from stocking it with the right ingredients and tools (with suggestions of how much cutlery and utensils you need) to understanding which appliances are really necessary (toaster ovens can be terrific but aren't indispensable, while blenders can do the work of mixers and food processors, making them particularly valuable). Recipes are creative and well within the capabilities of basic cooks; they include Toaster-Oven Meatloaf and Sautéed Cutlets Marsala. 

Some great advice can be found in the first part of the book:
For Those Who Can’t Let Go:
Some Tips and Tricks for Kitchen Pack Rats
LETTING GO OF STUFF comes easier to some than to others. For those of us who have a really hard time getting rid of unused and unneeded kitchen stuff, here are some thoughts to keep in mind:
  1. Rmember that much of the stuff you are now going to make a decision about was in fact given to you by someone who, however thrifty, secretly wanted to be rid of it–and finessed the job by giving it to you.
  2. Console yourself that much of the stuff you are making decisions about was never meant to be held on to and has no great commercial value.
  3. Beware of meaningless sentimental attachments.
  4. Focus, whenever possible, on the possibility that by cleaning out your kitchen cabinets you will be giving some really good stuff to others. Your guilt about letting go of stuff (and your fear of unwittingly losing some really valuable stuff) can thus be vanquished through the reassurance that you are giving stuff to charity. Thrift shops that benefit specific charities are your best bet, since your stuff will find a good home, the proceeds from the sale will help a worth cause, and–hey!– you will even be getting a tax deduction.
  5. Finally, and most important: remember that you are not so much getting rid of stuff as making room to live.
The second part of the book is full of recipes that are perfect for a small kitchen. Not necessarily that exciting for an unclutterer, but there are some tasty recipes in there regardless.
The book’s author currently lives in a small New York City apartment that has a 45-square-foot kitchen and grew up using a kitchen on a tiny family sailboat. His advice is practical and based on years of experience.
Overall it is such a GREAT READ!

History behind euforia Roll Layer Cake


Bûche de Noël-As the name indicates, the cake is generally prepared, presented, and garnished so as to look like a log ready for the fire used in the ancient fire-festival of the winter solstice. Buche de Noel is well garnished and so well presented like a log that is ready for the fire.

This traditional dessert is generally made from Genoise or other sponge cake, filled with butter cream. Sometimes, even chocolate cakes are used for this purpose. Traditionally, Buche de Noel is made of Genoise cake that is baked in jellyroll pan. Buttercream is spread on top of a rectangular piece of Genoise cake. It is rolled in a cylindrical fashion so that the cake resembles a log.

The outer part is covered with chocolate buttercream, in such a way that the surfaces look like that of yule bark. This yule log cake is decorated with powdered sugar (that resembles snow), spruce sprigs, meringue mushrooms, fresh berries, etc.  euforia offers you a ‘cake roll’ variety, as well. Enjoy this beautifully made cake with your favorite coffee, tea or wine.

Travel around the world thought the aromas and flavors of freshly roasted coffee, euforia choose Nagadi coffee because it is the best coffee!


nagadi coffee 
The word Nagadi means traveler and it comes from Geez: an ancient Ethiopian language. As you probably know, coffee is an indigenous plant from Ethiopia and from there it spread to different locations in the world. Each bean flavor speaks of a unique culture, climate, another way of living and farming the land. It bears characteristics of the place and it inherits the flavors and aromas that are unique to the place where it was cultivated: the soil, the water, the wind, and the flora around it. It speaks of the people who carefully cultivated it from a tiny seed, harvested and processed it according to the traditional method of each region. Located in Silver Spring, MD, they are artisan coffee roasters, and passionate about what they do. They believe that real coffee has to taste amazing; otherwise it should not be called coffee. Thats why they go really far to get you the best coffee out there.

euforia is proud to give many varities of Nagadi coffee. We have Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee), Sumatra-Tanah Karo and it's “An Indonesian Island Treasure” featured on the Oprah Winfrey show and mostly praised by coffee connoisseurs worldwide as one of the most interesting and unusual cups available. This coffee produces uniquely satisfying delusions of grandeur. New to euforia is Colombia-La Argentina and this coffee offers a refined take on the sweet, fruit-driven profile that the Tolima micro-region is becoming known for. An intense, characterful aroma leads to a cup bursting with dark fruits, caramel, and spice. learn more about all our other coffee HERE

Each coffee is absoultly unique and delious!
