Author Kellye Davis to Appear at The Melting Pot Restaurants of the Tri-State Area for a Talk and Book Signing Event

Westwood, NJ, White Plains, NY and Darien, CT (PRWEB) April 19, 2010

The Melting Pot Restaurants of the New York metropolitan area (Westwood, White Plains and Darien) will host an interactive talk and signing event with local author Kellye Davis. During the seminar, Davis will discuss excerpts from her new book and provide some “healthful” summer meditation practices to help attendees relax, de-stress and find peace of mind.

“I am very grateful to The Melting Pot restaurants for providing this opportunity to address the public on how to tackle today’s stressful lifestyles and be able to live a more blissful life,” said Kellye Davis, president of KD Publishing and author the highly acclaimed book, “The Bliss Principle – Easy Ways to Go from Stress to Peace.” “Let’s face it – we have the power to go from stress to peace in a healthy way at a moment’s notice. We just need the tools to do it,” said Davis.

During this event, Davis will discuss her Bliss Breathing Techniques™ and the basic benefits of mediation. She will also lead a mealtime “moving meditation” which will allow the attendees to experience the peaceful power behind eating great food in silence and ease while savoring food’s flavor and texture.

The talk and book signing event will be held at three Melting Pot locations – Westwood (NJ), White Plains (NY) and Darien (CT) from Tuesday, May 4 – Thursday, May 6. The tickets, which include a three-course meal, fountain drinks and a copy of Davis’ new book, cost $ 34.95 each.”

Not long ago, no fashionable home lacked a bowl of wax fruit as a dining room table centerpiece. And, although not quite as widely used as they used to be, many homes still display faux apples, grapes and bananas as decor pieces, though they are no longer made from wax. We typically see display foods used in grocery stores, restaurants, and coffee shops, but they may also be used by doctors to teach balanced nutrition, by interior decoraters who stage houses, and by the entertainment industry.  They are more common than you might expect, and are used for a wide variety of business purposes.
 
Modern fake foods are carefully produced with plastics, most notably vinyl chloride which can withstand heat, light and moisture without breaking down. The reproduction process is relatively long and sophisticated, and starts with a silicone mold of the food to be imitated. Color is then precisely matched in liquid plastic, then poured into the mold and heated until it becomes solid. In some cases, a clay model is sculpted and painted, with each garnish, condiment or other addition separately and meticulously manufactured to make the finished product as realistic as it can be.
 
Virtually all display foods are designed by hand, an art that was perfected in Japan after World War II, when foreigners began to arrive to help rebuild the country. Because these foreigners were unable to read the menus, candle makers and other artisans created paraffin duplicates of the dishes offered at restaurants, enabling customers to see what their meals would look like. Wax remained the main ingredient of food props until the mid-’80s, when more durable materials became popular.
 
One would not expect the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to have an interest in fake food, but the fact is that even if it is not ingested, some of the chemicals used in its manufacture can leach out and taint any real food nearby. Because of this, any food props used in grocery stores, restaurants or other areas that contain real food items must pass FDA inspection.
 
Therefore, it is of utmost importance that careful attention be paid to the source of any fake food display. Much of the product made overseas contains lead paint and other contaminants; although these fake foods typically cost less than their high-quality, more expensive counterparts, the savings are not worth the risk. Purchasing fake foods from a trustworthy company whose product has been approved by the FDA is the best way to ensure the safety of consumers and should be the primary concern of those who use food props for any display.
