Fada Moranga loves Soop!


Soop is a London based design studio headed by top chef Wai-Lian Scannell in London, UK. She's forever rustling up new recipes in the Soop kitchen.

You can use your imagination to put an entire wilderness in the palm of your hands … or at least the base of their fingers. Wear your favourite animal or create your very own finger farm or enchanted forest.

You can get them here in Soop's Etsy shop and further taste what they have to offer by logging onto the Soop website: soop-group.com.

Soop also designs and creates ceramic tableware and other homeware products...all with a sprinkling of charm and quirkiness. Bon appetit!

Fada Moranga loves Tree-Nation!


Tree-Nation is an ecological project with a focused objective: To plant 8 million trees in Niger, Africa to fight desertification! Large-scale plantation of trees will increase the land's productivity and re-generate the soil. By planting your tree, you are not only investing in your own future, but also the future of others.

Supported by the United Nations Environment Programme, Tree-nation is an online community in which you can buy your own tree and become the guardian of a real and happy tree that will be planted in their park in Niger.

Each tree that is planted in Niger is also planted on Nation-Tree virtual map, which you can access directly through the site. Come watch how your happy tree grows big and strong! Tree-Nation wants to show that fighting desertification is not only a good initiative that will reduce the effects of climate change, not to mention improve the lives of thousands of people, but that it can also be rewarding and fun!

Fada Moranga loves Party Fairies!



Raspberry and Rose Petal Punch
Serves 24

  • 2 32-ounce bottles no-sugar-added raspberry-and-apple juice, chilled
  • 2 quarts soda water, chilled
  • 1 cup rose-petal syrup
  • About 36 ice cubes (about three trays' worth)
  • 2 pints fresh raspberries
  • A few edible flowers, like roses or violets, for decoration

The Steps

  1. Pour the juice and soda water into a large punch bowl.
  2. Gradually stir in the syrup, tasting regularly until you reach the desired sweetness and fragrance. Refrigerate until it's time to serve.
  3. Just before serving, stir in the ice and scatter the raspberries and flowers over the top.

Tip: Find rose-petal syrup at ethnic food shops (or online at Kalustyans)—it's a deep red-colored liquid commonly served in the eastern Mediterranean. For quick drinks, mix it with soda or milk. Be sure not to confuse this syrup with rose water, though.

If you are going to use flowers for decoration in the punch, be sure that they are edible and not treated with pesticides. Most good produce shops will stock chrysanthemums and orchids—both are good for sweet foods. Edible violets and pink roses can be found in some florists or farmer's markets.
