One of the things I really love doing is showing people how to make simple, all-natural recipes using truly wholesome ingredients. It’s an additional bonus when those products have been halal-certified to ensure that the entire process of bringing that product to market is also halal, as there can always be issues with other ingredients crossing into a halal product and there can be issues with packaging, too. For more information on that, check out the IFANCA (Islamic Food and Nutrition Council) website, as they are a tremendous source of information on all things halal-certified and food science. I’m working with IFANCA on their upcoming halal and healthy workshops around the Chicagoland area where I’ll be conducting food demos on four different recipes, all super simple and all nusing halal-certified products.
This chocolate drink is one of four I’ll be making and our audience tasting at each one. If you can’t be at the workshop, you can still enjoy the flavors, the simplicity of the process and see which halal-certified products can be used to make it.
For more information about the locations, dates and times of the workshops, please visit the IFANCA Facebook or Twitter pages. Of course I’ll be sharing on the My Halal Kitchen Facebook and Twitter pages, too. We’d love to see you in person!
