Hi Everyonehcy

I just wanted to write about how over the years my company products have been ragarded as wxcellent by  both in the metabolic community (pku, hcu, etc disorders as part of the community) starting from 1990s, to present and from Kidney disorders community,. I'm just wanting to let everyone know over the years how people regarded my company over the years and still do. I'm not saying this to boast about my buisniess but this is our family's journey with HCU (HOMOCYSTINURIA), my son's disorder 

This is from my 2014......

……………..……………. Following the break was our cooking demo with Mal from Taste Connections. I made myself a low protein sandwich , grabbed some cookies and fruit, but then I was grabbed by Jen and told about the low protein tortillas that one of the vendors was making fresh on the scene! to my delight , It was Malathy Ramanujam from Taste Connections! She was making low protein vegetable meat balls, and fresh tortillas. WOW! They were amazing! I ended up eating 3 tortillas, with 3 “meat balls” in each one! I was so stuffed!! The “meatballs” were made with grated vegetables like beets and carrots, with bbq sauce and a little flour to bind. This is so now my new favourite dish and I was ecstatic to learn that at the end of the day she would be hosting a cooking demo for us! Even all the non – PKU family and friends tried her dishes.  ………………..

……………………Not just because of the great tasty food, but also because Mal was a great speaker, very engaging. Also because I have a special interest in low protein food, new recipes, and products and am always looking for new ideas to make. I was particularly delighted to learn about how nutritious the taste connections products are. Not only are they simple to make, convenient and do not require the addition of more ingredients but also they include ingredients I am familiar with, can pronounce and are developed my Mal! Mal had everyone try her recipes. Not just our PKU attendees. We were all speechless! Not ever have I seen such flexible doughs, easy to use products and textures so very evenly matched to regular food! I fell in love with the fresh English muffins as well as of course the tortillas. I am so impressed! In the hour that Mal spoke with us she demonstrated many different recipes. She made the meat balls, the tortillas, chocolate cake pops, English muffins and more. It was so simple, mostly add water. And it was all cooked quickly enough that we got to eat all! (What was left over I got to take home too!!) I cannot wait to ask SPDC to bring in these baking mixes so I can give it a try. She made it look way to easy! But wow the textures of the food, especially the muffins were moist soft and delectable! I am now a new fan of Taste Connections and really can’t wait to get our BC Subsidy on board with covering this product………

Tthis is the one from a person who wrote about me and my company products in his several books he has written. this is what he's written 

............While bread is a great sidr for many recipes like bourguignon, bread is not exactly a health food for us. Bread has high protein in relationship to the number of calories, a positive acid load and is low in nutrients compared to many foods What is the answer for bread lovers who need to lower their protein?

The answer is a woman named Malatht Ramanujam. Her son was diagnosed with a rare disease that limits his daily protein intake. Again, patients and family members can do remarkable things. There are many low protein mixes on the market. However, we think Malathy's is the best  For the receord, I don't know Malathypersonally and have no business relationship with her. 

I'm listing Malathy's because I think her mixes and receipes will get your closest to the bread you are used to eating. We used a bread maker and tyou may want to invest in one. It's the easiest way by far...........Malathy's website is tasteconnections.com You will find mixes for bread, baking mixes, tapioca popcorn and a few others. I'm no expert in baking or bread making, so I would refer all questions to her site......................
