The
inauguration of our new studio space involved a little bit of painting,
a little bit of cleaning and lot of socializing with our new neighbors.
Watch this space for more vlog updates, as we develop our physical representation of who we are!

you are cordially invited to... #artcentral
our fundraiser and housewarming!
Nyummm Magazine has finally found a home. Come check us out at our new
location in the Art Loop at Art Central, Downtown Calgary!
Our soft launch party will be held from 6pm-9pm on June 13th
in the heart of the city. Light food and
drinks will be served, prepared by our lovely Lika and her family.
It's one of those events where, just in case you missed the monthly Art Central event last Thursday, you have yet another chance to mingle amongst
other creative types in a cute little courtyard space! We're new here, so we'd definitely love to meet you.
$10 entrance fee. Smart casual.
We will be presenting our brand and magazine concept in the style of Pecha Kucha, as well. So watch this space for more details.

it's spring; time for some baking!
Woke up this morning to some beautiful sunshine, which seemed to have also awoken my neighbors into mowing their lawns and having patio breakfasts - a consistent trend that has blessed Cowtown over the past few days.
The heat has forced our crab apple tree in the back yard to magically transform into full blossom, and so I was inspired to create some chocolate decadence to compliment the richness of the season that has dawned upon us.
A simple and quick recipe (also incredibly easy to clean), this is what you need to do to recreate my chocolate chip walnut cupcakes:
MAKES 12
Wet mixture:
½ cup softened butter
6 tbsp granulated sugar
6 tbsp brown sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
Dry mixture:
1 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
Filling:
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
250g (8oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup coursely chopped walnuts
In separate bowls, stir together ingredients for wet mixture and dry mixture. Then gradually combine the two into one batter.
With the oven set at 190C/375F, evenly distribute the batter into the muffin tray and bake for 10 minutes.
Mix filling ingredients together in a bowl, while the cakes are baking.
Take out the tray and add dollops of filling onto each cupcake (they should look a little bit dipped into the middle).
Bake for another 12 minutes.
Take out the tray and cool.
Then indulge.

a picnic in the park leads to much more than you'd think
Get the Flash Playerto see this player.
(download)The weather was amazing this weekend, so our lawyer and one of our good friends (who often gives us PR advice) agreed to come out and chill with us for a picnic and some frisbee.
As you'd expect, it wasn't long before we decided we needed to go for a mango lassi. Food, clearly, never leaves our brain.
