Smoked salt adds a unique and aromatic flame-grilled touch to your dishes. After you first smell that smoky aroma,  you’ll want to go crazy with it; but remember that it’s still salt.

Black Lava Coarse Salt

This revered salt is used for adding depth and complexity to the finest of culinary creations. In addition to its stunning flavor, Black Lava salt is infused with activated charcoal which assists the body in removing harmful impurities, and is exceptional in essential minerals to help maintain the body’s normal functions. This scrumptious salt adds a truly unique flavor to roasted vegetables, soups, stir-fry dishes and on the barbeque.  

Inka Coarse Salt

Enriched with the most essential earth elements. Inka has spent over 250 million years absorbing trace elements and minerals in the heart of the Andes Mountains. Protected from pollution and impurities, this salt is stored to maintain its purity and freshness. Inka's subtle flavor and texture is sure to enhance sweet and savory dishes.

So how should you use smoked salt?

• As a dry rub for meats; like Flodins tasty and tender Omega-3 pork.
• As a substitute for bacon crumble- Sprinkle it on deviled eggs, a salad, or in a homemade vinaigrette dressing.
• Use it to add Savory to your Sweet: Salted Caramel anyone? Or complement the sweet and crank up the smoky by adding it to roasted peaches with bourbon syrup. Yum!
• Make your evening Snack-tastic: Sprinkle on top of tomatoes, hard boiled eggs or watermelon.
• In sauces and garnishes: Finish homemade BBQ sauce with a pinch or two.
• Breakfast time: Enhance your morning eggs with a sprinkle!

Experiment and enjoy adding Nordic smoked salts to your Flodins Omega-3 pork. It contains 4 times more of the omega-3 fatty acids in comparison to regular pork meat, making it tremendously beneficial and way healthier. This tender, juicy and particularly delicious pork is easy to cook to perfection, so you can savor every single bite.

You have probably heard of Snapchat, but maybe aren’t sure what it is or how it works. Simply put: Snapchat is a mobile messaging application used to share photos or videos that only last for a brief amount of time. Snapchat is rapidly becoming a prominent social media platform; it is estimated that there are 200 million active users on Snapchat, with 400 million snaps being sent per day.

• When a user sends a “snap” to their friends/followers, they can indicate the amount of time it will be viewable, from 1-10 seconds, before it disappears. Users can also add photos/videos to their “Snapchat Story” where the content can be viewed by all of their followers, as many times as they like, for 24 hours.

Before you start, choose a unique name for your brand to help your followers recognize you. Also, when you add a contact number associated with your business, your customers will notice your business on Snapchat when they are adding you on this fast growing social site.

• If you are planning to run contests and attract customers, you can also receive snaps from customers to keep your business trending upwards!

Emojis, texts, geofilters and many extra features can be used with snaps on Snapchat to make your business unique and interesting. Try giving your new customers/followers an “inside” peek of your product or business to keep the fun going while engaging (and gaining!) followers.

How to be Successful in an Orchestral Audition

 

Since the beginning, Asian Youth Orchestra (AYO) has carried on the legacy to select the best young musicians to play at international musical programs. With an eagle’s eye view, this award-winning, leading orchestra pulls out the hidden talent from thousands of youth who come for auditions and then trains them for successful orchestral performance. Continuing this legacy henceforth, AYO is determined to pick the artists who have practiced hard and are prepared for their audition and tough competition.

To be successful in an orchestral audition, an artist should use a metronome, which helps in preparing for a winning audition. Start off slowly until you recognize all the rhythms and notes and practice with different subdivisions, and macro beats. Remember to practice with the beat- not on the down-beat. While you practice, try recording yourself. Listening to the recording you just made can be eye-opening-and since you are your biggest and finest critic, it will help you notice areas where you need to improve. For betterment in your progress, you can first listen for rhythmic accuracy, then dynamics and listen for intonation for the third time. Recording yourself is especially helpful the closer to the audition that you get, when you are more prepared and can be more specific about what needs to improve. However, the more you do it, the more you’ll improve.

Next; play among musicians and other people who may appreciate your progress and will give you some good feedback. Lastly, have a “dress rehearsal”. Try to simulate the audition conditions you'll be performing in. For example; wear the clothing you plan to wear on audition day, recruit a small audience to listen to you and play through the repertoire-no stopping, no talking. Practice hard, be prepared and we’ll see you at the Asian Youth Orchestra (AYO) Auditions!
