The 4th Generation

                                                           Preparing "Raw" Enchilada's


 As part of JeremyCooks live demonstrations I have gotten the chance to cook with various local chefs. Most recently I took a look in to the world of raw foods at 4th Generation Market in Boca Raton, FL. The history of 4th generation market reaches as far back as 1910.  The market promises to offer the best in organic foods, prepared foods and produce. The 4th Generation Market is named  after Ashley and Bryan Litowich who are the great-grandchildren (4th generation) of Ben Litowich, the founder of Ben-Bud Produce. Today, Ben-Bud has become one of the premier fruit and vegetable importers and distributors in the nation. Ashley and Bryan have created a unique organic market  using their family’s 100 years of experience.

OPA!!!

                                                                     Orly & Me

OPA!!!  This past week I got a chance to cook at a real down to earth Mediterranean café called Apropo. JeremyCooks will soon be starting a series of Cookisodes in front of live audiences. Our first show won’t be for a couple of weeks but that doesn’t mean we can’t start working on future shows. Located in East Boca Raton, Florida,  near Royal Palm Plaza and Mizner Park,  Apropo offers a wide variety of Mediterranean dishes. Orly and Robert Herscu, who own the café, are definitely one of a kind. Being from Bulgaria and Romania they pull all the traditional recipes and ingredients from the Mediterranean itself. When I got to Apropo I immediately noticed the “Mom & Pop” feel and it’s warm and cozy atmosphere. Orly greeted me with a kiss, one on each cheek (a European tradition) and immediately brought me into her kitchen. While Robert prepped for the day, Orly and I cooked our way through three authentic dishes.
