Fresh Juice Nation
Energize Your Afternoons
To assemble our concoctions, Petal Rogers, our resident juice master, and I went into the garden and pulled up this and snipped that. Back in the kitchen with the juicers and blenders rolling, we had some laughs coming up with the names of these drinks. You’ll love to drink them too, and with a juicer they are simple to make. I always tell people to leave their juicer and blender on the counter next to the sink, close at hand. Juicing is like going to the gym; the hardest part of it is getting there.

One of my base ingredients that you will see in many of these juices is called Citrus Trio. It is simply a blend of equal parts of freshly squeezed lemon, lime and orange juices.

This will be my last article in the Anguillian. The last two years have been life changing. Living in another culture has taught me to be more patient and understanding as well as to listen not just to hear. I’ve grown to love my staff and feel like they are more family than folks who work for me.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my articles in the Anguillian and have maybe even tried a recipe or two. Please stay in touch through my website www.chef-daniel-orr.com . I would love to hear from you. I’ll be your personal chef on the internet. If you need a recipe just go there.
