  • Rafaela Baia | Yummy Raw | My Blue Tea | Chef Profile

    MY BLUE TEA CHEF PROFILE Rafaela Baia Rafaela is so proud to be living in Australia, to become a part of Australian culture while also keeping her Brazilian roots - by bringing in her passion and dedication to rock-solid healthy food any respectable grandmother or mother would make for her family out of love. You eat and you nourish your body. You're not just eating to satisfy your hunger.¨ RAFAELA BAIA RAFAELA'S ENERGY BALLS RECIPE Rafaela Baia Owner and Chef, Yummy Raw Far from a Raw Deal Most people associate cakes and bakes with sugars, ovens and probably a few notches too high on the calorie scale. Rafaela Baia is set to change that mentality with her line of raw, yummy cakes. Veronica Lind from our marketing agency, Vermilion Pinstripes sits with Rafaela to understand this raw cake business. We could not believe it when we heard about her raw cakes. Can an unbaked cake even be called a cake? When we saw her beautiful creations we really just had to try them and find out more! We spent a lovely afternoon getting to know Rafaela over a big pot of blue tea (and more than a few slices of her raw pandan cake). Discovering it Raw, an interview with Rafaela Baia Mindful eating is my passion and also a part of my lifestyle. It is what gave birth to Yummy Raw . I love and appreciate good food and I believe there is a way to create healthy, raw, dairy-free, gluten-free, plant-based "happy foods" with no refined sugar. That is how I got started experimenting with recipes and sourcing for ingredients to create my beautiful raw cakes! I use wholesome, healthy, nutrient-packed ingredients such as cashew, almonds, dates to give my cakes sweetness, texture and body. For food to be qualified as "raw", it cannot be cooked over 40 degrees so the nutrients and vitamins do not get destroyed in a typical cooking process. ​ I was cooking in numerous restaurants and those years of observing and experimenting really consolidated my passion in raw foods. I was working in a vegan restaurant when I got obsessed with how incredible plant-based food can be. Once I discovered this, there really was no turning back to cooking with or eating processed foods and chemical-based unhealthy products. "…they are dairy-free, gluten-free, no refined sugar but they taste amazing. You won't believe that there's no sugar in there, that's why I make them with a lot of pleasure. I'm very proud to sell something that is going to be nourished … you can get lots of nutrients and minerals because they don't break down when you cook them like a normal cake." - Rafaela Baia From Brazil to Australia Brazilian families love food and many of our family memories surround cooking. Sunday family lunches were the norm and cooking up a storm was something we looked forward to. Making food together was something that brought us close together. And in those days, our grandparents and parents were big on eating healthy and well, with authentic ingredients straight from the earth. We may not have had a word like ´ecological´ or ´organic´ then, but the food we ate were certainly as real as they could get. We were a generation lucky to have grown up eating real, healthy food. My family even had a food catering business, so I literally grew up in a food environment where cooking and organizing anything related to food was the norm. I guess I kind of got my career laid out for me from the very start! ​ I moved to Port Macquarie because my husband got a job here, and we really wanted to take life more slowly. I was living on the Gold Coast when I first came to Australia, then I was living in Sydney and Lake Cathie. I love living in the middle north coast. I have been living in Australia for over 12 years now and I simply love it here. "​I am so proud to be living here, to become a part of Australian culture while also keeping my Brazilian roots by bringing in my passion and dedication to rock-solid healthy food any respectable grandmother or mother would make for her family out of love." ​ - Rafaela Baia Making my beautiful raw cakes is the gift my Brazilian roots have given me. I am also very proud of myself for picking up a new language when I first got to Australia, and starting off a new career myself. Those are achievements my family and I really value. I think I have done pretty well - these were big changes in my life and a lot of moving, changing and settling in. Things sometimes got overwhelming and stressful, and that is when a quiet afternoon of cooking with my healthy, happy, raw ingredients help me to set my balance straight again. You eat and you nourish your body. You're not just eating to satisfy your hunger. Cooking raw food is like my hobby, passion, lifestyle, career, therapy all rolled into one! It has really made an amazing change in my life. Ingredients for the Future I set up Yummy Raw as a company to give me the space I need to experiment and build up my repertoire of raw dishes. I grew up being fed on good quality ingredients and that was a way my family showed love and consideration. Now in my business, I continue to uphold that tradition and I use only high quality ingredients. I am feeding customers who trust in what I am creating and I know however much heart you put into something, you get it back tenfold. So much of my heart is invested in this business, it is important to give the very best I have and to know I have not only delighted the tastebuds of my customers, but also that my creations are nurturing and beneficial to their bodies too. ​ I have also been sourcing for produce locally as far as possible. I love the sense of community that I build wherever I go and if I make the extra effort to just look and ask, life brings me the connections I need to propel my business! ​ It has really boosted my confidence finding local businesses within Port Macquarie. Talking to people, getting to know them, making new connections, and it has really helped me fire up my passion when I meet like-minded people I can collaborate and work with. Setting up a business can feel like a tough, lonely journey at times, so meeting people who share my passion helps to keep me going. I love the sense of togetherness with the people I have met and how supportive everyone has been. This is definitely not a competitive dog-eats-dog arena. Everyone has their own unique space to grow, helped by each other. ​ One of my recent connections is with My Blue Tea . I adore their all natural plant-based powders. These are absolutely beautiful ingredients and it got my creativity buzzing in the kitchen. I found My Blue Tea on Instagram and it was love at first sight. I was mesmerised by the natural blue colour of the butterfly pea flower . I knew I had to get my hands on some of that powder and I already had ideas whizzing in my head about what I could do with it. "Thanks to My Blue Tea, I have created three really pretty new cakes - the Roselle Raw Cake, the Pandan Raw Cake and the Layered Blue Pandan Cheesecake. All raw, natural, unique, delicious, healthy, beautiful and absolutely guilt-free when savoured! Yummy Raw cakes are already power-packed with nutrients - when I add My Blue Tea´s superfood powders to them, that really amps up the cakes in their nutrient value, as well as making them look so incredibly pretty!" ​ - Rafaela Baia Yummy Raw Roselle Cakes All natural colours and ingredients. The pink is from My Blue Tea Roselle Powder and the purple is from Butterfly Blue Pea Flowers Powder. Yummy Raw Blue and Chocolate Cake Mostly nut based "cream" mixed with My Blue Tea Butterfly Blue Pea Flowers powder for that natural blue, purple and pink colour tones. Yummy Raw Roselle and Kaffir Lime Cakes They're really yummy. Beautiful colours and flavours derived from My Blue Tea Roselle and Kaffir Lime Powder. Yummy Raw Cakes The "purple" on this Yummy Raw cake is made from My Blue Tea Butterfly Blue Pea Flower powder. Yummy Raw Roselle Birthday Cake Natural reds and pinks using My Blue Tea's Roselle Hibiscus Sabdariffa powder I am excited to see what new connections I can continue to make in Port Macquarie. I know that is how my creativity grows! Labour of Love Yummy Raw allows me to pursue my passion and create a future for my family - a future built on very healthy foundations! I want to continue to work with plant-based desserts. I love seeing the final product, and here is a little secret confession on my part - my favourite part of the whole cooking process is putting in the garnishes and finishing touches. It is so fun and kind of like a treat for myself to say, well done, you have made another amazing delicious raw cake! ​ Sometimes my experiments do not work out and things do not go as plan, but that is what I also love about cooking. It is very forgiving. I experiment, try different ingredients and methods, and if it works, great, if it does not, it is a lesson learnt. I can dust it off, wash things up, rest with a cup of coffee and try again the next day! ​ I am excited about where my future is going with Yummy Raw . I know I have strong roots to back me up in my culinary career. I have a lot of saudades* for the food and family feasting atmosphere I enjoyed as a child. And in some ways I want to extend this and share this with my customers. Yummy Raw is my labour of love and I am a very lucky person to have grown up with beautiful food and to now be the one sharing this with so many people. * Saudades- (Portuguese) feeling of nostalgia or melancholic longing for the past or for something or someone one loves.

  • Lillie Giang | The Food Affectionist | My Blue Tea | Chef Profile

    LILLIE GIANG MY BLUE TEA CHEF PROFILE Lillie Giang Lillie was set to be a chef from the moment she was born. Her family were all dedicated foodies in Vietnam. Food was worshipped, adored and highly respected in her family. She grew up living, breathing and of course, eating dishes that were skillfully whipped up. It was Lillie's father and maternal grandmother who taught her precious lessons in eating, cooking and naturally, living well. When a child grows up learning the fine art of cooking from people who are near and dear to them, the child naturally develops a genuine love and talent for food and cooking Lillie Giang The Food Affectionist ¨My philosophy around food has never changed. Keep learning (I’m a forever student), never stop cooking and always give back with abundance.¨ Eating to the Moon and Back My Blue Tea is always on the lookout for chefs and food enthusiasts who share our values of eating natural, healthy food that is not only exciting to the palate but also enticing to the eyes. With each chef we meet and know, we learn so much more about the rich art of cooking. Each chef invites us to their own unique world of textures, flavours and most importantly, culinary stories that inspire. Special festivals always have special foods and the Mooncake Festival is one where we love drooling over gorgeous mooncakes that are rich with flavours, textures and colours. Lillie Giang is the chef who is bringing our Blue & Pandan snow skin mooncakes to life. We first saw her ¨giveaways¨ on her Facebook group by various brands and companies and we got curious enough to approach her with My Blue Tea's range of superfoods and natural products . Lillie was absolutely lovely and so quick at making decisions! We had a little chat and it was clear what she wanted. Lillie was very open to learning about and experimenting with new ingredients so we immediately sent her heaps of Superfood Powders, Blue Teas and Latte Powders for her to get her magical hands into and to share with her team of enthusiastic cooks and bakers. When it comes to food, a vital ingredient to enjoy it is simply to share it. No foodie or chef in the right frame of mind would ever hoard food for themselves. The joy of cooking comes from not just the process of making the food but also from having the opportunity to share with family, friends and even people we do not know (yet)! Cheering Melbourne during the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown ​It was sometime in October when Lillie contacted us and said that the Chinese Association of Victoria wanted to make a Mooncake Festival video of her making mooncakes. Due to the lockdown in Melbourne, a lot of festivals had been cancelled and the city was really missing the festive mood, and very much in need of cheering up. ​ Lillie was more than happy to do it and she wanted to bring out the gorgeous shades of blue with the texture of snow skin for her mooncakes. Blue is an extremely pliable and exciting colour to work with in food as it offers such a rich palette of shades and tones. Depending on the thickness of the coconut milk you use or if you use water, the shades change and it is very much like being a scientist in a laboratory. You never know what you are going to get when you mix different liquids together with the butterfly blue pea powder. It is great fun as long as you approach it with curiosity and throw rigid expectations out of the window. Especially with so many cities around the world in lockdown, the last thing we want is to impose monotony on all aspects of life. With a simple mix of butterfly blue pea powder and a liquid, your kitchen can absolutely come to life with a variety of shades. Just imagine - no two mooncakes look alike! And they do not have to! No more standard colour and design. Life can be exciting. Deliciously so! ​ As it was such short notice, we could not send our products by normal post, and what with lockdown restrictions, we knew the Australian post could not get things out as quickly as before. We took a chance and decided to Express Post My Blue Tea's products to Lillie. It was a rather nail-biting time as we really hoped the products could get to Lillie in time. Unfortunately, My Blue Tea's parcel did not arrive. One important lesson all cooks learn and which we apply to our daily lives is to quickly improvise. That literally is no use crying over spilt milk and when a recipe goes wonky or if we are missing an ingredient, we try our best to improvise and salvage the dish. ​ So we quickly moved on to Plan B. We called Roger Yeo, the proprietor of Lion City Asian Grocery in Mt Waverley. We explained to him our situation and luckily for us, Mr. Yeo was such a lovely, generous soul he agreed to assist us. Lion City Asian Grocery stocks My Blue Tea's products and he actually personally delivered My Blue Tea products to Lillie. We were so grateful for his help. Finally Lillie could get our products to make her beautiful snow skin mooncakes. We feel proud that Lillie had chosen to use My Blue Tea's products for her mooncakes - an age old traditional recipe that requires skill and patience. Lillie was set to be a chef from the moment she was born. Her family were all dedicated foodies in Vietnam. Food was worshipped, adored and highly respected in her family. She grew up living, breathing and of course, eating dishes that were skillfully whipped up. It was Lillie's father and maternal grandmother who taught her precious lessons in eating, cooking and naturally, living well. When a child grows up learning the fine art of cooking from people who are near and dear to them, the child naturally develops a genuine love and talent for food and cooking. It is clear when you look at Lillie that she has been nourished from the inside out growing up - her sunny smile is the first thing that strikes you about her. There is something open, inviting and honest about her that welcomes you into her space. For Lillie, her love of life is intimately connected with her love of food. And we understand Lillie when she says that food connects her to people and takes her around the world and gives her purpose. Food has connected Lillie to us, and in turn that continues to connect all of us to foodies in her circle and in My Blue Tea's circle. And it is a joyous connection we all have, food unites and never divides. All true-blue chefs and foodies are eager to learn and share and tomorrow is always a great day to look forward to, for more food experiments and sharing good food with family and friends. Lillie Giang https://www.thefoodaffectionist.com.au/ We clicked with Lillie because we share the same philosophy of giving back with abundance. That is how life continues! Lillie has had a rich career as a chef, coach, educator and presenter. It is important for her that cooking is not an exclusive arena available to only a chosen few. In fact, what drives her is the goal to make cooking available to many, to make it affordable, sustainable and fun! Lillie lives and breathes her values of sharing wholesome, quality food with people and making connections wherever she goes. She is a guest presenter on The Cooks Pantry (Channel 10) and My Asian Banquet (Channel 7). She is also an advisor and in-store pop-up presenter for several well-known supermarkets and shopping centres. And if that is not enough to keep her busy and satisfy her craving to share amazing food, she also works actively with NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) students and their families to help make food accessible by teaching them how to prepare and cook food, all true to her values of making food accessible, fun and making a difference in people's lives. And Lillie does not stop there. At weekends she is eagerly sharing her love of food and culture with other enthusiastic foodies at some of Melbourne's largest indoor and outdoor food festivals and events. We take our hats and aprons off to Lillie for making her 24 hours stretch across the week to give back to the community all her knowledge, experiences and most importantly, love for cooking! ​ We love how Lillie is experimenting with My Blue Tea´s products to create new flavours, textures and colours. We are so driven to do what we do because, quite simply, food is exciting! If this gets you inspired, why not try out some culinary experiments of your own with My Blue Tea's range of superfoods and powders ? You never know what you are going to get!

  • Nora Haron | My Blue Tea | Chef Profile

    MY BLUE TEA CHEF PROFILE Nora Haron Once you see and taste Chef Nora´s culinary creations, you will be tempted to take her home with you. Eating has never been this exciting! You get to taste food from home that has an exciting international twist plus a good dose of family love injected into it. Based in San Franciso, Nora is someone who has managed to not only retain authenticity in her cooking but has also completely redefined the idea of global cuisine, mixing flavours that enhance each other. There is absolutely no clash of cultures in her dishes. It is impossible to put Chef Nora in a box and label her cooking as one or the other. She is in a league of her own. NORA HARON RECIPES NORA HARON Daring to be Authentic and Beyond Chef Nora Haron's background is Singaporean, of Indonesian-Indian descent. With a grandfather from Kerala, South India and a grandmother from Java, Indonesia, Chef Nora grew up living and breathing all the rich, exotic, wonderful spices. In fact, her grandfather had his very own special curry spice mix. None of the ready-made mixes bought from a supermarket. Chef Nora´s childhood memories were delicious ones where she would go with her mother sourcing for all the individual spices needed to make grandfather's special curry. Blending it all Together Having had a solid foundation with her mother and grandmothers as her culinary gurus, Chef Nora went on to attend the San Francisco Baking Institute. Now she leads the culinary team at Red Bay Coffee in Oakland and is also the Director of Culinary for San Francisco's 4P's Restaurant Group. Interestingly enough, her real inspiration for diverse cooking came from her mother while helping her prep meals in Singapore. Chef Nora has managed to blend the authentic with the diverse in her cooking and as far as she is concerned, whatever labels people place on her cooking, ¨the flavours are still home ¨. Chef Nora is well-known in San Francisco , and her genuine love for cooking and how she enjoys feeding her guests is evident. Beautifully blended species and carefully chosen ingredients all respectfully and skillfully cooked together - these keep guests coming back for more. This is cooking for the sake of enjoying a culinary experience, and it is growing die-hard fans who love authentic Asian cuisine as well as those who are open to tasting exciting new flavours. Don't Forget the Dessert As a trained pastry chef, baking is something that brings her joy. Her desserts carry her signature authentic and diverse flavour where you just want slice after slice of cake without needing to impose a label on it. Is it Singaporean, Indonesian, Indian, Californian, American? It is simply put, Chef Nora-n. It is food made and filled with love, which is how Chef Nora wants it to be, and how she wants her guests to feel after a dining experience with her - full to the brim and drunk on culinary love. Kueh Lopes. A childhood favorite with a twist: Glutinous Rice, Coconut, Blue Pea Flower and Coconut Sugar Syrup Did you Know? ​ A little side tidbit for those who do not know - Chef Nora used to work for Martin Yan in the cooking series, TASTE OF MALAYSIA. Chef Nora was behind the scenes prepping ingredients and the finished dishes for Chef Martin Yan to his live audience.” Coconut Milk Bread with Pandan made with Pandan Powder Powder it Up! My Blue Tea was introduced to Chef Nora via Malaysia MasterChef Judge, Chef Jo on Instagram. We are so delighted with how social networks can bring people together from so far away! When we connected, Chef Nora ordered some superfood powders from us. This was during the COVID-19 lockdown and it took more than a month to arrive from Australia all the way to California. It was a nerve-wrecking time - we were both anxious the powders would not arrive in time for her to make her amazing Cinta Nasi Lemak with Blue Rice to serve her friends. All good things certainly do come to those who wait and Chef Nora got right down to experimenting with our powders and created these gorgeous beauties here. We can´t wait to see what new creations Chef Nora would come up with next! Chef Nora's Cinta Nasi Lemak with naturally tinted Blue Rice is now one of her popular offerings!

  • Jackie M Tang | My Blue Tea | Chef Profile

    MY BLUE TEA CHEF PROFILE JACKIE M TANG Deliciously successful, Jackie has more than 1.9 million followers worldwide and is one of the most influential Australian chefs on social media. Jackie is sought after as one of the world's experts in traditional techniques and classic flavours of Southeast Asian cooking. She honours the authenticity of Asian cooking techniques and styles while also boldly experimenting with giving a Southeast Asian twist to everyday Australian dishes. JACKIE M TANG JACKIE'S RECIPES Jackie M Tang Digital Leap for Authentic Asian Street Food into Global Cyberspace It is not every day that you hear about a small town girl who achieves a socially-approved career, then leaves it to follow in the footsteps of her street-food vendor parents. Jackie M is one chef who has done precisely that and has since been celebrating a delicious success. ​ Jackie was working as an I.T. consultant in Sydney and London, and she was a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, Cisco Certified Network Associate as well as Certified Novell Administrator in merchant banking and the insurance industry. A career span to be envied. ​ In 2001 she did a 360 degrees turnaround and started selling street food. Definitely a jaw-dropping conversation starter. Might even leave some with an uncomfortable silence scratching their heads wondering if they heard it wrong and got the order of her career the other way round. ​ Today, Jackie's pride, respect and passion in her culinary beginnings in her family has skyrocketed her way beyond what she could ever have imagined. ​ Having spent more than two decades cooking up a storm, Jackie is a highly respected Malaysian and Singaporean street food specialist, a former restaurateur, TV presenter as well as a pioneer of live cooking videos. She is not only gifted gastronomically speaking, she had the foresight to take cooking to another level and new audiences. ​ She has had 1.9 million followers worldwide and is one of the most influential Australian chefs on social media. She is sought after as one of the world´s experts in traditional techniques and classic flavours of Southeast Asian cooking. She honours the authenticity of Asian cooking techniques and styles while also boldly experimenting with giving a Southeast Asian twist to everyday Australian dishes. ​ Scarcity begets Creativity ​ Jackie did not spend her childhood playing with plastic pots and pans, scooping sand into toy bowls and putting together a feast for her dolls, dreaming of being a cook during her simple days in Seremban. It was when she migrated to Australia as a teenager that her culinary itch flared up. Food does indeed nurture one´s soul and not being able to find decent Asian food in Australia at that time was frustrating for Jackie. If you grew up with true-blue authentic Asian food, you will find it hard to settle for less when you taste ´Asian´ food in other countries. ​ This did not mean that Jackie went from frustrated, hungry teenager to culinary rockstar overnight. Asian food is highly complex in its flavours. Anyone living in a foreign country can imagine the difficulties one could encounter to cook an authentic Asian meal the way mum made it. Can you get the ingredients? If so, are they of good quality? Can you even get the appropriate recipes and cooking utensils? After this hurdle comes the endless hours of being in the kitchen recreating the complex flavours that Jackie grew up with in her childhood. It is not unlike a science laboratory where measurements and temperatures have to be exact, and dealing with a lot of disappointments as she went through round after round of trial and error. Much of her time was also spent on research - reading, finding out information, talking to people. It was a humble, intense period on her learning curve. ​ From Market to Restaurant ​ Jackie became a regular presence at the farmers' markets around Sydney in the early 90s where she experimented with recipes and took the leap to introduce Australians to Malaysian street food at her stalls at weekend markets. ​ This brought her to the next level where she started her own restaurant in 2006 in the inner west suburb of Concord. Jackie's strength lies not in just having the grit and perseverance to try new projects and get through obstacles, but also more importantly, in knowing how to find the balance between managing personal and professional challenges. In 2013, she decided to close her restaurant to look after her son who was ill. It turned out to be a highly intelligent move as she turned her focus to food coaching, TV presenting and online content creation. No matter how excellent a cook one is, nobody will know about you if you are not visually and digitally accessible to everyone. And Jackie literally got the whole world at her fingertips with this move. Going Global Jackie had a desire to bring global recognition to the uniqueness and beauty of Southeast Asian cuisine and thanks to her pride in her family, her culinary roots and a desire to honour that, she is bringing Asian cuisine to the entire world not via the upper end of luxurious gastronomy, but through humble (authentic and to-die-for) street food into kitchens in Australia. Modest beginnings can certainly be a powerful seed for an amazing future. ​ "...my entire family is made up of high-achieving, productive members of society who bear no scars from having had to hang out with mom and dad at work 7 days a week. Some of our best dinner table stories revolve around our Odeon cinema canteen (dad’s stall) exploits." Jackie has beautifully blended what she adored about her country of birth and her family into her adopted country, and with a touch of her Hakka-Chinese descent, her personality has become unique in the Malaysian-Australian culinary industry and across the world. Weathering the Toughest Storm ​ Reading someone else's success story sometimes gives one the misleading idea that it was all smooth sailing. Jackie has weathered many storms of her own. ​ Jackie has spent many years raising awareness for people with Down Syndrome and to give support to other families who are going through the same journey as herself and Noah, her son. When Jackie closed her restaurant so she could look after Noah, she planned to continue selling her food at the street markets. By that stage, Noah had been discharged from ICU and was accompanying Jackie on all her markets and festivals.

The presence of Noah at her stalls and markets was something some people found uncomfortable. From their very first day together, Jackie has had to face disapproval, criticisms and even attempts to have Noah removed from the markets. Jackie has been through huge waves but seeing her son through his long period of illness and never-ending surgeries were her toughest and to have no support at the end of it to help her manage her career and look after Noah was one that nearly knocked the wind out of her sails. ​ Finally, after 14 years of working at markets, Jackie decided the emotional stress of this was not worth staying on for, and after two and a half years of enduring judgement instead of offering solutions, Jackie pulled out and focused instead on creating online food content. And what a fine move that turned out to be. Jackie is definitely not looking back. Her step into the digital culinary sphere has helped her business to expand exponentially. What felt like something she was pushed to do, has turned out to be a saving grace. ​ Baby Noah had a traumatic and complex medical history and the first 217 days of his life was spent battling for it through illnesses and surgeries with several medical teams looking after him. Christmas 2012 was Noah's first beautiful Christmas at home. He was stable and ready to embrace his new life at home with Jackie. ​ Find out more about Jackie here and follow her blog here . ​ Jackie has no qualms about sharing her recipes with others - that is what she has been doing through her career, sharing authentic food worldwide. This is her way of ensuring these precious traditions can endure through the generations. World-famous chef notwithstanding, Jackie is still a simple Seremban girl at heart who enjoys the simple happiness of cooking and sharing homecooked food with loved ones, and to welcome new friends across cultures. ​ Blue Recipes Shop Online Buy Direct Trade Enquiries Jackie M Tang Jackie's Recipes
