About the Blog

Pearl, the blogger and the Food Scientist,  is sprinkling her powder of thoughts about food! All the News & Events served from the Farm, to the Factory to the Fork!

Pearl's Powder is not just a recipe sharing blog but it is more about experimenting and experiencing food in a different perspective!Then, seasoning it a bit with the hottest trends and events in the food and beverage industry, the latest scientific discoveries in the field of food science and technology, as well untangling all the myths that people think about food, safety, nutrition and eating.

This is all for the purpose of keeping an awareness culture that appreciates and values food, not just as a necessity, but as a beautiful blessing we often disregard and take for granted.

The blog is also a portal for advocating consumer rights in Lebanon and trying to spread this culture of food in the MENA region, from a scientific, psychological, health, and aesthetic perspective.
