The Article “Cinnamon in the Cupboard Real or Imposter” Was Published by A Harmony of Flavors

Nov. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Chris Rawstern, Culinary Advisor for A Harmony of Flavors, recently published an article “Cinnamon in the Cupboard – Real or Imposter”?  One of the companies’ missions is to educate the public on trends and issues that can have an effect on their lives.

This article discusses the misconceptions many people have about this spice and that what is accepted as “cinnamon” in the U.S. is quite different than product many of the other countries around the world use.  For a cook to use any recipe from another country that calls for cinnamon there are several very important things they should know.

Rawstern is an author, teacher, gourmet cook as well as a photographer and graphic artist.  She has taken or created all images appearing on these sites. Her articles have been syndicated nationally.

Her background is Slovakian on her mother's side and Yugoslavian on her father's. Her grandparents came from Europe to the United States to make a better life for themselves and their families. Her ethnic cooking influences began at the cradle. She began her cooking career in Guatemala, in 1970 when she moved there as a 20-year-old newlywed, and set out to learn to cook in a foreign land. This process was complicated by the fact that she could not speak or read the language.

Rawstern loves food, new recipes, and to teach people how to cook from scratch. Her passion is to teach people how to create A Harmony of Flavors when they cook, find joy in baking and help pass along her love of and joy in foods, both simple and exotic, plain or fancy, as she continues her journey in both ethnic cooking and domestic. Her favorite saying in her class is “Life is short – eat dessert first”.
