The Gleaner Food November 2021

THE GLEANER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2021 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | FOOD E5 C UH CRUMBS is an online- based bakery offering a variety of delicious goodies that can be delivered to Jamaicans islandwide. Their desserts range from cookies to a delectable carrot cake and banana bread, donuts, and even brownies. CEO and head baker of Cuh Crumbs, Geoffrey ‘Geo’ Lewin, has always had a passion for baking, which started when he was just eight years old. He maintained his passion into his high-school years and started developing and testing his own recipes. Geoffrey shares that with the encouragement of family and friends, he was able to find a market for his home-made pastries and took it to the next level. He outlined that like many Jamaicans, he grew up eating Foska Oats, and it continues to be a must-have in his household – and now in his business. “Personally, I really love and enjoy Foska Oats. So, I try to include it in my diet as much as possible; whether for whole meals (porridge or pancakes) or quick snacks (muffins, granola or cookies). Especially as someone with food allergies, Foska Oats has provided a safe and easy alternative to my daily diet.” From a business point of view, Geo has taken the norm and added a different approach to create delectable items using Foska Oats. “The first thing I ever baked with Foska Oats was the classic oatmeal-raisin cookie, and it is one of my favourite things. It was an item I wanted to add to my menu, but with a twist. So, I developed my own recipe for oatmeal-cranberry cookies (Chewy Lewy), which is a bestseller among our customers. Also, we’ve made banana bread and carrot cake by blending Foska Oats to create an ‘oat flour’, or just adding oats to our recipes.” Customers are often amazed by the fact that oat flour can be used as a substitute for regular flour for a gluten-free option. One customer stated, “I wanted to try something gluten-free and begged Geo to make something. I was blown away by the banana bread. I did not miss the flour at all.” Geo picked up from there: “The end results are scrumptious and have a great texture. We are currently working on developing other items.” When it comes to Foska Oats, the options are endless when creating the simplest of dishes through to an exquisite spread. It is a product that boasts versatility, with an added bonus for being a healthy addition to your diet.
