Golden Comfort, Chef Ken Style

Chef Ken’s love of cooking began when his father moved his family from California to Yvoire, France. He achieved national recognition at age 21 at the famous Los Angeles restaurant La Guillotine and has continued that meteoric rise ever since. Today helming his critically acclaimed and heavily awarded Napa Valley institution, La Toque, Chef Ken continues to set the bar for excellence and change the way we experience the world around us through food.

I AM VERY EXCITED to be introducing our new Golden Comfort, turmeric latte mixes!

I have long been a lover of chai flavor profiles. The warmth, complexity, and nuance to be cultivated in the chai landscape inspires my creative palate.

In curating our Golden Comfort line of turmeric-based lattes (powdered blends to be prepared with the hot milk of your choosing), that flavor is a reality in three variations: Naked Blend (the basis of all three), plus Focus and Sleep Blends.

You can use any kind of milk you prefer to make Golden Comfort. I tend to favor almond milk as it has the best mouth feel, nice and creamy with some natural sweetness; not to mention that it is alkaline to further aid in reflux relief. Keep in mind that the milk you choose will affect your experience, so experiment – there is so much to choose from.

I’m excited for you to explore and discover what personalized preparations attain your own perfect Golden Cup of Comfort! Is it a little added sweetness by way of a touch of quality maple syrup or a dollop of local honey? A splash of woody caramel in a bit of real vanilla? The warmth of added cinnamon sprinkled on top? Don’t hesitate to find your own special path to personal luxury.

I am personally loving our new Focus Blend, which incorporates several functional mushrooms with known therapeutic properties, long a fascination of mine in the kitchen. This careful selection of functional mushrooms comes together to support cognition and boost my focus.

While I do love it prepared in steaming hot almond milk, sipping the soothing latte as my morning takes shape, my own path of exploration took me to an unexpectedly delightful place –my favorite “hack” is to make oatmeal for breakfast using the Focus Blend!

Plain oatmeal is, well, rather plain; but with a few additions you, too, can easily make chef-worthy oatmeal and dial up the nutritional and soothing value, as well.

However you create your own moment of indulgence, I hope you enjoy yours as much I enjoy mine.

Enjoy!

Chef Ken
