OVIEDO, FL – Recipes made with ingredients from locally headquartered company, Duda Farm Fresh Foods, took center stage at a brunch hosted last weekend on July 19, 2015 at the Food and Wine Conference in Orlando.
The Food and Wine Conference is part of the Sunday Supper Movement started by Isabel Laessig, better known as Family Foodie. The mission: To bring families together to share time and a meal together at least one day a week.
Laessig held the first virtual Sunday Supper in January 2012 with eight bloggers and since then, the community and the notion has grown into a national movement. The Food and Wine Conference brings bloggers together with other food professionals to talk about opportunities for future collaboration when influencing families to spend time together using digital media marketing as a megaphone for encouragement and inspiration. Duda has been an active supporter of the conference from the beginning in 2012.
“As a sixth-generation farming family business, it is important to our company that we participate and support bloggers that are working to encourage American families to enjoy the simple pleasures in life, like eating dinner together on a Sunday night,” said Nichole Towell, director of marketing for Duda Farm Fresh Foods. “For us it is about enjoying healthy food with the people that are most important to you. If we can be part of something this important, it is an honor and a pleasure.”
On Sunday, July 19, Duda hosted a brunch featuring a popular family recipes such as greens with Dandy® radishes, celery and citrus vinaigrette; fresh Dandy® fruit skewers with Clementines, grapefruit and oranges; and dessert made with Dandy® Meyer lemon tarts.
“This movement has developed quite a following and we want our fresh ingredients to serve as an inspiration for bringing families together around the country,” Towell said.
