-Hello everyone! Here we are at the Orange County Fair 2019 in the Culinary Arts
Building I'm going to be preparing today
a Mexican gazpacho with all these great
summer vegetables and healthy what's so
great about this dish
it's cold and we are not heating up the
hemp because we don't want it d du
carboxylate we want to keep this very
fresh very clean and very alive for us
having a nice cold gazpacho
time to learn all about him with chef
Keiko Bedi so without further ado I'm
going to turn it over to chef Keiko
please take it away and have yourself
some fun thank you thank you so much for
that nice introduction I've got the
bubbles happening here and remember
Lauren's well he always had bubbles and
his presentation so yeah it makes you
happy doesn't it and didn't we all come
to the Orange County Fair today to have
a happy day today right yay well as
Peter was saying I'm going to be cooking
with him because it has many nutritious
properties magnesium zinc as well as
it's 25% protein and the reason why I
wanted to do a gazpacho is because I
wanted to keep everything fresh and raw
so the first thing we bought fresh
tomatoes here and that where we're going
to be putting into the blender I'm going
to put half into the blender and then
half into our Bowl here so what we're
going to be putting into our blender
besides these wonderful Tomatoes is
fresh tomatillos
and tomatillos even though it looks like
a green tomato it's actually a fruit and
it has a tangy flavor to it very very
fresh lots of vitamin C and why I wanted
to bring that through to give it that
more of that Mexican flavor there and
another thing I'm putting in here is
hemp seeds toasted hemp seeds and we're
also going to be putting in raw hemp
flour and why I wanted to do raw hemp
flour is we are live in living human
bodies and look how many things that we
make and we eat like funnel cake and
barbecued turkey legs but they're not
live and if we put more live things into
our body it helps keep us going a little
bit more healthier so inside here I've
got the tomatoes the tomatillos the hemp
seeds and here's a little bit of
balsamic vinegar which will add even
more to that tank flavor and then I'm
also putting in a little bit of olive
oil now I have actually some samples
here that my wonderful friend Louisa is
going to be helping pass out samples to
you so you'll be able to taste this
while I'm actually putting it together
so who wants to have a nice sample all
right so I blend it I don't want to have
it too smooth
and inside our Bowl here we're also
going to be putting some fresh chopped
garlic some cucumbers nice orange bell
peppers and look how pretty that is and
here is red onions green onions and more
green bell peppers the reason why I want
to do it with green is because green
actually is chlorophyll and the more
chlorophyll you add to the diet
it actually cleanses your blood and the
cleaner blood you have the more
lifeforce you're getting throughout
through your body here and I'm going to
put in black beans which is a great
source of fiber and I wanted to make
sure we had fresh corn for you alright
we've got that in here and I'm also
gonna just go ahead and add in a little
bit more live flour last year we were
able now to start growing in California
and for years we couldn't grow it but
actually George Washington who was the
first president the founder of our
country he was a farmer there on Mount
Vernon he wanted all the farmers to grow
it he knew it was a great food source as
well as a wonderful product to be able
to make clothes and rope now I put in
cumin as well as fresh lime juice and of
course cilantro and I'm going to go
ahead and stir up our lovely Mexican
flavor gazpacho with him
delicious refreshing earlier I was
pleasantly surprised by the true beauty
who's ready for a little dessert I just
want to say food makes people happy and
this is a great chocolate banana coconut
pudding with him it's actually made with
no sugar and no dairy it's avocado agave
cocoa powder a little bit of salt some
vanilla as well as some coconut cream
right now in the blender
I've got avocados and fresh bananas live
nutritious lots of potassium and
avocados again it gives us our good oils
in our diet and this here is coconut
cream which is a little bit different
than coconut milk and I love coconut in
fact we've got a coconut up here without
the culinary arts department for years
and if you look and see how rich the
coconut cream is - it's a lot difference
in coconut milk and how many of you have
ever had the Thai soup called Tom Chi
soup the coconut soup oh that's what
makes it come alive with that creamy
rich goodness right so I know it's
sometimes when I get into food it's like
better than some things in life that I
can't mention here with people around
this is the Orange County Fair and this
is vanilla and this is a Davi and the
reason why I'm using a gobby it actually
assimilates into their body as a
sweetener of much better than say honey
and if some people who eat vegan they of
course don't use honey so that's why I'm
doing it with agave and then a little
bit of cocoa powder and I'm going to
blend up our pudding now
okay here is our chocolate pudding
I made a topping of toasted coconut
toasted hemp seeds and some almonds
there are certain aspects of the hemp
seed that's really good for your skin it
helps take care of people who have
eczema or psoriasis and I think overall
it really helps with balancing the body
it's also great for your digestive
system and it really helps in lowering
your blood pressure too
any questions yes sir what can you do
with hemp hearts thank you if they sell
at Costco this is Sam hearts right here
I just put in our gazpacho I put it in
the pudding and you can do in salad
dressings sauces you can also sprinkle
it on if you have rice or suits and very
very simple to add in you know now if
you go choose places like mothers and
sprouts and even Costco and Trader Joe's
you're starting to see a lot more
products with hemp in it and I will
share this with you I have been doing
this at the Orange County Fair in over
seven years and two years ago a woman
came to the fair who wanted to know more
about it she came because she was
diagnosed with cancer within eight
months she was cancer-free
so thank you again hope you like the
foods and again I want to think of you
all having a great day at the fair as
well as for the rest of your life thank
you have a great round of applause for
Keiko Keiko Bedi
Kieko it's absolutely always wonderful
to have you here at the fair and we
learned so much from you and our fair
guests always look forward to you and
because you always bring something new
and different cutting-edge here for the
fair for us and we absolutely loved your
gazpacho today made with the hemp it was
outstanding
I loved it every drop that's great and I
just love what you're doing here and all
the education you're bringing forth I
know last year I learned about pickling
our goal here is to always to educate
the public that is our first and
foremost goal we love all the rides we
love all the fair food but it's truly
education this year we have over a
hundred and twenty-five demonstrations
so we always have something new and
different here to educate the public and
I'm excited to share this here at the
fair we had over 2,000 home cooks enter
into our competitions this year and
that's everything from sugar arts to
confections to cookies bars brownies
pies cheesecakes he spreads quick breads
you name it over 2,000 home cooks from
Southern California and when I think
what a lot of people like yours they
they like the test and taste everything
isn't it correct everyone loves to taste
and test yes absolutely I think that's
part of my passion as well is I just
don't want to cook something and have
people taste it I really want to educate
people about camp and why it can be so
simple to add in and so nutritious for
you and then it is a privilege and a
pleasure to be part of the culinary arts
department because I know we both have a
passion for bringing great education
about delicious food thank you so much
Green bee life viewers and thank you so
much Pam for your time appreciate it
