Cliffnotes: Wilm On Film5 06 2010
**I received a promotional copy of Wilm On Film courtesy of StarNews Media.**
Whenever I've heard Wilmington, North Carolina referred to as Hollywood East, I've always chuckled to myself in a "yeah, right" kind of way.
After reading Wilm On Film: A Guide To More Than 25 Years of Film & TV Production Around Wilmington, North Carolina, I realized the joke's on me.
Sure, I knew that two of our teen dramas, Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill, were filmed there, as were a few dozen other productions.
Turns out, "a few dozen" is a gross underestimate.
The book, written by Star-News staffers Amy Hotz and Ben Steelman and edited by their colleague Jeff Hidek, recounts the history of the Wilmington film and television industry while also providing a fairly comprehensive guide to the hundreds of productions filmed in the area.
The book rightly calls itself an "easy-to-use-guide" and those were the first words that came to mind when I first flipped through the book. It is mostly sectioned by time period, with a break-down of several productions filmed during each. Each film or TV pilot/series is further broken down into plot synopsis, filming dates, notable cast and crew, key locations and fun facts under the catch-all phrase "did you know?"
As it turns out, Hollywood East is just one of the area's nicknames. "Locals," according to the book, "refer to it more endearingly as 'Wilmywood.'" And it's no wonder: a listing of some of the stars who have filmed there reads like a "who's who" of Hollywood. Among the names trotted out in the introduction: "Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Martin Lawrence, Queen Latifah, Richard Gere, Dakota Fanning, Dennis Hopper and the list goes on."
Not surprisingly, the introduction also points out that "In 2009, The CW television drama 'One Tree Hill,' starring Sophia Bush [Brooke] and James Lafferty [Nathan], began filming its seventh season." That is, undoubtedly, the area's biggest current claim to fame. Skip down a bit, and the authors note "'One Tree Hill' stars often show up at charity events and festivals. Chad Michael Murray [Lucas], who starred on the series' first six seasons, helped start a new Pop Warner football team for ages kids 11-15. Lafferty helped start a local American Basketball Association team called the Sea Dawgs." The latter factoid I knew; the former I didn't.
And that right there sums up the book quite well: there's much that devout OTH and DC fans as well as film geeks will know but I found there are also plenty of gems as well. An example appears on the very next page. Linda Lavin (Sophie, aka The Nana, The O.C.) is apparently very fond of Wilmington, having filmed a television movie there in 1995 and "settling" there afterward. She is quoted as saying, "I could live in a lot of places, I guess, but this is where I'm home."
The book is peppered with anecdotes, since "you're hard pressed to find anyone in Wilmington who hasn't worked on a set or been touched by the film business in some way." But if you're not interested in the production being discussed or a film geek or keen to learn quite a bit about Wilmington, you'll find yourself skimming through the text.
With my eyes peeled for any and all One Tree Hill or Dawson's Creek mentions, my skimming stopped on page 34 where I found one of those aforementioned gems. In the midst of an accounting of Blue Velvet's production, the authors reveal that "while it doesn't have the fan base of 'Dawson's Creek' or 'One Tree Hill,' a steady stream of 'Blue Velvet' aficionados still calls [sic] the Cape Fear Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau." Reading this just a few days after star Dennis Hopper's passing, I wondered if these calls would increase in the next few weeks.
Each of the time period-based sections starts by giving an in-depth look at a production, such as Blue Velvet (which marked 1986-1988, an "on the rise" time for the Wilmington film scene). The first that I closely read was the following section, "the boom years" or 1989-1992. Why? The child in me was giddy at the details provided about…wait for it…Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And bless that film, for "it also paved the way…[for] 'Muppets In Space.'"
I read the next section's opening quite closely as well. "A darker tone," which accounts for 1993-1997, starts out by talking about The Crow, a cult film I was big on during high school. I can't recall if I knew it filmed in Wilmington, but I never tire of reading about it, especially about the on-set death of the film's lead actor, Brandon Lee. The section starts off noting, "Of all the movies made in Wilmington, 'The Crow' remains the most macabre" for this very reason. And the quote from Lee on the next page, "I find myself thinking, 'What if I died and had a chance to come back?' So many things seem so trivial and mundane. If you came back, they would seem so significant and bittersweet," is incredibly chilling.
The next entry to pique my interest was also a cult film, but on the opposite spectrum of The Crow in tone: Empire Records, another film that I watched quite a bit during my high school years. I didn't know this one was filmed in Wilmington, either. A few pages later, To Gillian On Her 37th Birthday caught my eye, as it starred Peter Gallagher (Sandy, The O.C.), making that at least two O.C. cast members to film in Wilmington.
The following section is aptly titled "teen invasion," covering 1998-2002 and starting with six pages on Dawson's Creek (though about half of it is comprised of graphics). They sum up the show quite well, pointing out "its hyper-sexual, super-wordy dialogue centered around four high school students in the small town of Capeside, Mass. — wannabe filmmaker Dawson (James Van Der Beek), sweet girl-next-door Joey (Katie Holmes), lovable scoundrel Pacey (Joshua Jackson) and new vixen in town Jen (Michelle Williams)" and astutely noting that "adult thoughts and emotions coming from teenagers…attracted many others to the series. In other shows, teens just weren't that deep or complex" and "each week brought an hour long dose of teen angst, introspection and complicated consequences."
To also be filed under the "I had no idea" category, they mention that "more than 30 teenagers gathered outside Wilmington's EUE/Screen Gems Studios to protest the coming out of Kerr Smith's character, Jack" in the show's second season. It made this quote a few paragraphs later, from a 2003 Star-News interview with Jackson, all the more fitting: "I was used to working and I understood the requirements. I didn't understand the cultural phenomenon it would become."
The phenomenon idea was echoed by a Cape Fear Convention and Visitors Bureau staffer who notes that they received "hundreds of calls" during the show's second season from people wanting to know where this-and-that were located. The authors note, "Film tourism had existed in Wilmington before 'Dawson's Creek.' But the show was in a league of its own."
Among the other interesting tidbits: Van Der Beek taught baseball at a local high school, Williams performed in a staging of The Vagina Monologues and Jackson once helped save two swimmers. Additional neat reveals came via photos, one of most of the cast at "a tribute to the show in downtown Wilmington after they wrapped filming of the final season in 2003" and another of a mural showcasing the core four outside the studios. It is noted in a later section that John Wesley Shipp (Mitch, Dawson's Creek) starred in Port City, which filmed in Wilmington, and it is also noted that Barbara Alyn Woods (Deb, One Tree Hill) is in the flick as well.
During the Dawson's Creek era, one of my favorite movies, A Walk To Remember, filmed in Wilmington. Not new information to me or surprising given author Nicholas Sparks' predilection to set his stories in and film the big screen adaptations in southeastern coastal towns but now all the more interesting to me given that Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley, One Tree Hill) is working on a musical adaptation of one of Sparks' other novels, The Notebook.
The final section takes us from 2003 to the present under the title of "modern melodrama" and kicking things off with seven pages on One Tree Hill (again, about half are graphics). One of the main takeaways in this section is actually the legacy of Dawson's Creek. "Coming so close behind such a successful show that was similar in so many ways," the authors write about how some people felt during the transition period, "'One Tree Hill' might have a problem coming into its own. And when that notion was put to rest after the show went into its second, third and fourth seasons, it's likely no one had any idea what was in store." They then quote OTH creator Mark Schwahn after the season 6 renewal as saying "'Dawson's Creek' is a huge, big wonderful show that when you come to Wilmington to make a pilot, you have this specter of this show looming over you, and it seems unattainable to go as long as they would." One Tree Hill fans know the show has since accomplished more than Dawson's Creek did in terms of number of seasons and episodes.
Like in the Dawson's Creek section, they sum up One Tree Hill's premise quite succinctly: "'One Tree Hill centered on two-half brothers (Chad Michael Murray as Lucas Scott and James Lafferty as Nathan Scott) who pretty much hated each other. They competed against each other on the Tree Hill High School basketball court, in the dating world and in the family circle." They note the retooling the show went through with its time-jump, explaining "In seasons five and six, viewers learned how the characters would make their ways in the world, the professions they would choose, the relationships they would commit to and all the mistakes along the way." My only gripe is the errors in the following sentences: "Nathan became a semi-pro basketball player and slamball player who was finally called up by the Charlotte Bobcats. He would marry Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti) and have a son, Jamie (Jackson Brundage)." Nathan married Haley and had Jamie before becoming a semi-pro player, slamball player and getting called up by the Bobcats. In fact, marrying Haley and having Jamie occurred before the time-jump, before seasons five and six.
Among some interesting choices: They explain the exit of Murray and Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) after season six as them "[deciding] not to renew" when it isn't 100 percent evident that that was the case. Additionally, there's a photo of Murray with Bush and another of him with fiance Kenzie Dalton, and the caption notes how Murray and Bush were once married but he's now engaged to Dalton, who appeared as an extra on the show. At first I thought it was unnecessary/irrelevant but then I recalled that many of the entries for other productions mentioned if so-and-so had a significant other in town with them or met someone there, where they were frequently seen, etc. As far as pictures go, throughout the book they managed to include all of the core 5–except Galeotti (Haley, One Tree Hill). But also included are Robert Buckley (Clay, One Tree Hill) and Amanda Schull (Sara/Katie, One Tree Hill).
As they did in the introduction, they note some of the local-but-outside-OTH activities the cast has done, including Burton's Southern Gothic Productions, Lafferty's charity basketball games and documentary For Keeps and Galeotti's workshop of her musical version of The Notebook.
Burton receives three other mentions in the rest of the section: one in the notable cast and crew listing for The List, one in the notable cast and crew listing for The Secret Life of Bees, where it's noted that Tristan Wilds (Dixon, 90210) also starred, one in the notable cast and crew listing for Provinces of Night (which has since been retitled Bloodworth) where it's noted that Barry Corbin (Whitey, One Tree Hill) and Hilary Duff (Olivia, Gossip Girl) also starred. Another production listed, Remember The Daze, starred Leighton Meester (Blair, Gossip Girl). In the book's final section on independent filmmaking, or "free spirits," it's mentioned that Billy Dickson, who has directed more than 50 episodes of One Tree Hill, created a webseries called IQ-145.
Of all the quotes included, I have to say my favorite might be one from Paul Johansson (Dan, One Tree Hill). He said, "[Wilmington] has so many split personalities. Is this a beach town or is it a historic town or is it an industry town? What is it? And that's what keeps it interesting."
And it was certainly interesting for me to learn about all that has happened in Hollywood East (yes, I've been converted), things that I clearly had no idea about before. As if my urge to visit Wilmington wasn't strong enough before, this certainly put me over the edge.
Wilm on Film is available for purchase on Lulu.com.

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and More12 05 2010
- Be sure to check out The CW's site for all the new video content this week, including a look at the making of Carry You Home.
- Last night's 90210 (million viewers) increased a teeny tiny bit in the ratings compared to last week when you look at the raw numbers (1.429 vs. 1.449).
- AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) was named Sexiest Beach Body and Olivia Wilde (Alex, The O.C.) was named Sexiest Actress in Victoria Secret's annual What Is Sexy? list. Zap2it is wondering why Blake Lively (Serena, Gossip Girl) didn't make the list.

- The CW sent out a press release formally announcing that the show will film its first two episodes of season 4 in Paris with Leighton Meester (Blair, Gossip Girl), Lively and Chuck (Ed Westwick, Gossip Girl). I guess A) actually filming overseas and B) having a male character go, too, are two ways to differentiate it from the Beverly Hills 90210 Paris episodes. I'll save my snarkiness for next time.
- If you missed the live Q & A with Everly, featuring Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley, One Tree Hill), last night, you can watch the archived version.

News Roundup: One Tree Hill, 90210, The O.C. and More30 04 2010
- SoapNet is making some significant schedule changes regarding its teen drama lineup. Beginning tomorrow, May 1, One Tree Hill will air for two additional hours on Saturdays, now going from 9am til 1pm. Beverly Hills 90210 has been pushed back to 1pm and will go til 5. Sunday remains unchanged. Then, as of Monday, May 3, The O.C. will only air at 1pm, losing its second hour. One Tree Hill will move an hour earlier, airing at 2pm and 3pm. Beverly Hills 90210 will keep the 11am and noon slots but will now also have 4pm, in addition to their current 5pm slot. That hour, which started airing the show from the beginning in November after the network took away the 6pm timeslot, will repeat the noon episode (and the 4pm slot will repeat the 11am episode). That means though we're currently in season 4 during the 5pm hour, it will pick up with the middle of season 10, which is what's currently airing in the morning. The individual show pages above have been updated to reflect these changes.
- The CW has announced who will be participating in their Tweet Week and when: Robert Buckley (Clay, One Tree Hill) will tweet Monday at 8pm eastern. Josh Schwartz (executive producer, Gossip Girl) and Zuzanna Szadkowski (Dorota, Gossip Girl) will tweet Monday at 9pm eastern. Shenae Grimes (Annie, 90210), Michael Steger (Navid, 90210), Tristan Wilds (Dixon, 90210) and Trevor Donovan (Teddy, 90210) will tweet Tuesday at 8pm eastern. All of this will take place at tweet.cwtv.com.
- Jackson Brundage (Jamie, One Tree Hill) will be a part of CURED's charity event tomorrow in Illinois.
- One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl and 90210 are all included in TVGuide.com's photogallery of Must-Watch Finales.
- TVGuide.com named Annie's fountain scene in this week's 90210 the "oddest reaction" in their list of Top Moments of the Week. I disagree.
- Latina.com has a great but spoiler-filled interview with Diego Boneta (Javier, 90210).
- Lindsay Price (Janet, Beverly Hills 90210), Hilary Duff (Olivia, Gossip Girl) and Busy Philipps (Audrey, Dawson's Creeks) are in the "Beautiful At Every Age" section of PEOPLE's Most Beautiful issue. Blake Lively (Serena, Gossip Girl) is in the online version but also in the "Hot List" section of the issue. Jessica Stroup (Silver, 90210), Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna, 90210) and Jessica Szohr (Vanessa, Gossip Girl) are in the "Beautiful Jessicas" section. Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson's Creek) is in the "Amazing Lookalikes" section.

Exclusive: James Lafferty on the Past, Present and Future of One Tree Hill25 04 2010
In 2003, television viewers met Nathan Scott, a cute but cocky, athletic but academically-challenged high school junior. In the nearly seven real-time years that have passed, we've slowly seen Nathan transform into a handsome but humble, career-minded but family-focused husband and father.
Who will Nathan be in another year? James Lafferty, who spoke with me earlier this week about the past, present and future of One Tree Hill, hopes we'll be able to find out. But before we could get to that, Lafferty turned the tables on me. See for yourself…
James Lafferty: So you're TeenDramaWhore.com.
TeenDramaWhore: What do you think of the name?
Lafferty: That's such an admission of guilt! It's good, though. It's straight to the point so people know what they're getting.
TDW: That's right. I admit I am obsessed with teen dramas and I wanted to create a place for fans just like me to discuss the shows.
Lafferty: Is that going well for you?
TDW: It's going great. I love it. And I love getting to interview people like you!
Lafferty: Awesome. So where do we rank on your teen drama list?
TDW: Oh, goodness. That's such a hard question!
Lafferty: I get to ask you one hard question and you get to ask me 20 easy ones.
TDW: Okay. I'll take that deal. I would say you guys are in a three-way tie for number one.
Lafferty: Alright.
TDW: My all-time favorite is the original 90210. But tied with it would be Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill.
Lafferty: So we're in a three-way tie with 90210 and Dawson's Creek?
TDW: Yes.
Lafferty: Oh, c'mon! You can't ask for anything more than that. That's the hall of fame right there!
TDW: That is the hall of fame. So, of the current shows on right now, that means you win.
Lafferty: That does mean we win. Okay, I'm happy with that.
TDW: Great! My turn! There are just four episodes left in One Tree Hill's seventh season. How would you describe them?
Lafferty: You know, I have only seen the finale. But I think all the episodes are going to come together really well. We had sort of an all-star lineup of directors for the last few. Pete Kowalski directed one. He's been our director of photography for so long and has directed episodes before. He's phenomenal. [Executive producer] Greg Prange directed one and he's just a veteran. He knows the show so well. As a director, the only person who knows the show better is probably [creator] Mark Schwahn. And Schwahn directed the finale. So we've got a lot of really strong episodes coming up for the audience to look forward to.
TDW: Greg worked on Dawson's Creek before One Tree Hill.
Lafferty: Yes, he did. It's funny–Dawson's Creek was actually shooting their finale when we shot our pilot back in 2003. Greg was still working on Dawson's at the time and was not involved in our show. But once [The WB] picked us up and we were coming to Wilmington, it seemed like a great fit to have Greg Prange and [producer] David Hartley come on and sort of help guide us here in Wilmington.
TDW: That's awesome. I really love how these two fantastic teen dramas have come out of that one area, with the same soundstages and everything.
Lafferty: I think it's a testament to the area, to Wilmington. It inspires and encourages this really great, classic, sort of American setting. I think that's why so many productions come here.
TDW: That's right. So one thing in the promos for the upcoming episodes that has everyone talking is that Haley [Bethany Joy Galeotti] doesn't seem like she's doing too well. Do you have anything comforting you can say to the fans about that?
Lafferty: Yeah, absolutely. Haley is obviously grieving because she's lost her mom but these things, it's like "what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger." I think Haley's journey through this process is going to bring the Scott family unit together and also her friends are going to have to be there for her. So what that means from an audience standpoint is you're going to see the whole group sort of banding together to make it through this and it's going to be a really positive experience.
TDW: What is it about Naley, do you think, that has earned the couple such loyal fans?
Lafferty: I think, to start with, the likelihood of the situation, of Nathan and Haley coming together, was so small. In our first few episodes, the characters were worlds apart. It didn't seem like it would be a good fit. But sort of against all odds, they continued to make it work over the years and they fought through adversity. I think they've become a couple that you don't take for granted because they've been up against so much. So you root for them.
TDW: People are rooting for them. I think they root for Jamie [Jackson Brundage], too. One thing that has stuck out to me is that a lot of people have said this season how quickly Jackson is growing up before our very eyes. And it got me thinking that you kind of grew up on the screen before us, too. Weren't you just 17 when you were cast in the show?
Lafferty: Yeah. I hadn't turned 18 yet. I did my senior year of high school during the pilot. I was out here [in Wilmington] with my mom for three weeks shooting the pilot.. And then the next time I was here was when the show got picked up and we were shooting the first episode. I was 18 and I was out here on my own in an apartment. I lived with Brett Claywell, who played Tim on the show. I always say that One Tree Hill has kind of been my college. I guess now that means I am working on my master's degree or maybe my Ph.D.
TDW: Maybe. Seven years is a long time.
Lafferty: It is a long time. And I've been thankful for every year. I'd be grateful for another one.
TDW: Next week, I believe, is the show's 150th episode.
Lafferty: Oh, that's right. Greg Prange, fittingly, directed our 150th episode. We had a little impromptu celebration on set when we wrapped that episode.
TDW: Did you? That's great.
Lafferty: Yeah. It's such a good milestone. For me, it's just as big as 100. Not a lot of shows go for 150 episodes. The fact that we have seven complete seasons–we never had a season that just went for 13; we've had seven very complete seasons–it kind of blows my mind to think about it.
TDW: When you look back on the all the stories you've done in 150 episodes, what stands out to you? Do you have a favorite storyline or episode?
Lafferty: I've got a couple. There's just like these "moments." When we shot the state championship episode [Episode 4.09, Some You Give Away], that was huge. We went to Raleigh and we shot in N.C. State's arena. I think it's called the RBC Center. Greg Prange directed that episode. We were up against it. We had not a lot of time to shoot it. We had to be out of that RBC Center by a certain time. We just had a mountain of set-ups to shoot for all the basketball action. It was really a testament to the work this crew can do. Brendan Kirsch, who does all the sports coordination, pulled everything together and we really made those two days happen. We got an amazing episode out of it, amazing basketball action. And that was so gratifying for me, because I was so connected to the basketball part of it. Then another one is sort of a basketball one as well, when Nathan took the court at the Bobcats arena [Episode 6.24, Remember Me As A Time Of Day] for the NBA. We went to Charlotte to shoot that and we actually went and shot half-time at a game. They said, "You have four minutes to get what you need."
TDW: Oh, wow.
Lafferty: Literally, in four minutes, we ran out there, took a steady cam out there and we had all of our guys dressed in Bobcats clothing. There were 26,000 fans in the arena. The announcer came on and announced Nathan Scott. All the graphics were up all over the screens. It was just this surreal moment when I literally felt like I had won the lottery. That just doesn't happen. For me, it's always been a dream to take the court at an NBA game and even though it didn't "really" happen, just even shooting that and being in front of that many people, having that moment happen for the character, was just really awesome. So those are just a couple of moments that stand out for me as really defining times.
TDW: Speaking of the basketball, this season, we haven't really seen you play outside of the River Court. If we get a season 8, will Nathan get back to that?
Lafferty: I don't know. Possibly. It's difficult to say where Nathan in particular is headed in his career. He could continue playing for the NBA. He could realize he really cherishes his time and loves his time being a father and a husband and wants to be close to his family. I think Nathan will always be involved in basketball. Basketball will always be a part of his life. But in what way has yet to be defined.
TDW: I know you've been back a few weeks already but you guys went to Utah to film the finale. I imagine it took you out of your comfort zone a little bit because it's not the Wilmington weather and it's certainly not the California weather.
Lafferty: We were definitely out of our element. It was funny–we actually had one of the coldest winters ever here in Wilmington this past winter. It had just started getting warm here and we decided to go to Utah. I called it "chasing winter." We basically chased the winter to Utah and got back into that really cold environment. We had this hybrid crew of local Utah people and the people from Wilmington we brought out. That worked really well. There were a lot of things we were up against that could've hurt us or held us back a little bit but we got through it and we got everything done, got everything we needed. Mark Schwahn got us to do some really good days. It was a great experience.
TDW: What have you heard about a season 8?
Lafferty: I've tried not to pay too much attention to it because there's so much speculation. There's hundreds of questions and no answers. It's really hard. If you listen to everything that's out there, and if you really invest in everything that's said, it can be emotionally taxing. We're talking about our lives here. I think for me, I'm trying to sit back and just wait. I've heard a couple of different things here and there but for me, it still seems to be a coin toss. I think the fan support really does help. So if you're a fan of the show, continue to voice your support.
TDW: If this is the last season of the show, what would you want the show's legacy to be?
Lafferty: Well, I think the show's legacy is already defined. I think the way that you put it at the beginning of this interview, of you ranking us up there with 90210 and Dawson's Creek, that's really our show's legacy. I think we're going to go down as one of those great teen dramas that hopefully a generation identified with. That's really what I hope for. That people look back on the show and say "That was a sign of the times."
TDW: What message would you want to give to the fans?
Lafferty: I'm a sucker for happy endings. I would like to leave the fans with a happy ending. I think we go to the movies, we watch our TVs so we can be told stories and I would love for our story to be one that ends positively.
Come back tomorrow night at 8pm eastern for my live-blog of One Tree Hill 7.19, Every Picture Tells A Story.
Be sure to also come back next Sunday for another exclusive interview.

This Kale Tabbouleh Salad is a healthy riff on traditional tabbouleh, plumped up with kale, packed with protein thanks to chickpeas, and with toothsome kamut for a hearty and filling vegan salad that's a meal in of itself.
We spent this past weekend in Tuscany on a whirlwind trip to marry off a couple of our friends. And I do mean that literally – I officiated the wedding, which was hilarious and awesome and emotional and amazing.
Every time one of my friends gets engaged I offer to officiate (like Joey did on Friends, duh) as a joke, but this is the first time anyone has taken me up on it. So I can add that to my list of random and awesome life accomplishments.
It was a lovely weekend with a group of friends – old a new – staying together at an incredible villa in the Tuscan country side. We had a Tuscan wine tasting, several incredible family-style meals, and on the night of the wedding they lit up the wood-burning pizza oven and had an amazing cranky old Italian man slinging pies into the night.
Really, it was the stuff that dreams are made of, and I only wish we could have stayed longer.
I didn't eat any Tuscan kale in Tuscany (but I made up for it in Tuscan wine, trust me), but I definitely came home with salad on the agenda after an indulgent and cheese-heavy carb-heavy weekend. This kale tabbouleh salad – made with Lacinato (Tuscan) kale, is a pretty substantial departure from Italian food, I know, but one I think you're going to enjoy.
I spent many years of my life convinced that I didn't like tabbouleh, and perhaps I didn't, as taste buds tend to evolve over time. These days I'm a real parsley fiend, though; I'll find pretty well any excuse to eat it.
I wanted to put together a riff on tabbouleh that was a little more substantial and packed a little more punch nutritionally. Don't get me wrong, parsley is amazing stuff on its own, but teamed up with kale, chickpeas, and kamut, this salad goes from pretty healthy to a super food extravaganza.
I like the fact that the addition of kale doubles the greens and makes the salad a bit more robust than it would be otherwise.
What's in this Kale Tabbouleh Salad?
If kale tabbouleh salad sounds a tad untraditional to you, well hold onto your hats, because I also replaced the traditional bulgur wheat with kamut. To be perfectly honest, I had kamut in my pantry so it was a swap made out of laziness above all else.
I do find, however, that bulgur is one of the few wheat products that upsets my stomach, and I love the toothsome chew of the kamut, and the nutty flavour it gets here from being toasted in olive oil. The chickpeas add satiating protein and take this from being a simple salad to a meal in a bowl. Kale Tabbouleh Salad – I think you're gonna like it.
Tips for making Kale Tabbouleh Salad
- Start with the freshest parsley and best tomatoes you can find – they really take the flavour a long way.
- Make a double batch of the kamut (or other whole grain) while you're cooking it so you've got extra for grain bowls, or you can freeze it in handy one-cup portions.
- I can't find kamut, can I use another grain? Totally. I prefer a more toothsome grain like wheatberries or farro, but you can definitely use quinoa or go for classic bulgur if you like.
- Can I make this tabbouleh salad gluten free? Yup. Just use a gluten-free grain like quinoa, wild rice, or brown rice.
- Do I have to use the chickpeas? Nope. Again, feel free to switch up with another legume such as lentils, or simply leave them out.
- What else can I add to this Kale Tabbouleh Salad to fancy it up? I think this would be pretty good with crumbled feta, cubes of pan-fried halloumi, or topped with soft-boiled eggs.
Hey Nutrition Lady, what's good about this salad?
Kale is a nutritional powerhouse! It is extraordinarily rich in micronutrients, dietary fiber, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients, and cancer fighting glucosinolates.
Kale is a good source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, manganese, and contains nearly twice the vitamin K (essential for blood clotting and also an important anti-inflammatory agent) than any other cruciferous vegetable (broccoli, cabbage, etc). Iron, magnesium, vitamin E, folate, and phosphorous are among the complement of vital minerals found in kale.
Parsley is a biennial plant in the same family as celery with a bright and fresh flavour. Parsley is especially rich in antioxidant flavonoids that can combine with free radicals and help prevent damage to cells.
Parsley is also mega rich in vitamin C, and a good source of pre-curser to vitamin A, beta-carotene. The B-vitamin folic acid is also abundantly found in parsley, which is important for our cardiovascular health. Parsley is also an excellent source of vitamin K, and a good source of iron.

Kale Tabbouleh Salad
A totally untraditional riff on tabbouleh, plumped up with kale, chickpeas, and kamut for a hearty and filling vegan salad.
- 1 cup kamut wheat berries, spelt, or other whole grain
- 2 bunches parsley about 160 grams / 5 oz leaves and stems
- 1 cup loosely packed mint leaves
- 8 leaves lacinato kale de-stemmed and sliced into ribbons
- 1 medium tomatoes diced
- 1 x 400 gram / 14 oz can chickpeas drained and rinsed well
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
For the dressing
- Juice of 1 lemon about 1/3 cup
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon smooth Dijon mustard
- Start with cooking the kamut. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium-small pot over medium-high heat. Add the kamut, and cook, stirring frequently, until it is lightly toasted and smells nutty and fragrant. Add 1 1/2 cups water, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, until the water has been absorbed and the kamut is tender. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Wash the parsley well, and then cut the leaves from the stems. Roughly chop the leaves and place in a large bowl. Finely chop the stems and add those to the bowl as well.
- Wash the kale well, de-stem, and slice the leaves into fine ribbons. Roughly chop the mint leaves. Add the kale and mint to the bowl as well.
- Add diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and the cooled kamut to the bowl and toss to combine the salad.
To make the dressing
- Whisk together lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, nutmeg, and Dijon mustard.
- Pour half of the dressing over the salad and toss to dress. Taste, and decide if you want to add the rest of the dressing.
- Serve the salad, with extra dressing reserved if needed.
Recipe Notes
*If it seems like a lot of dressing, remember that the kamut will soak up a lot of it. If you don't want to add it all, reserve the remainder for when you serve the salad, as you may find that you'll end up needing more.
*Serves 4 as a main, 6 as a side.

Digital disruption set to shake up New Zealand's accounting services
Westpac's latest Industry Insights report finds some New Zealand firms won't survive digital evolution and job automation
In Brief
- Westpac's latest Industry Insights report looks at the future of New Zealand's accounting services industry
- Technology is driving change, and smaller firms – even audit services, may not survive in their present form
- The ability to leverage technology and deliver new solutions are critical to remain relevant
New Zealand's accounting service industry is looking down the barrel of radical change. According to Westpac's Industry Insights report, three key drivers are at work - the need to comply with statutory reporting requirements, an increasingly complex commercial environment, and most significantly, rapidly evolving technology.
The report finds that some accounting services providers have simply buried their head in the sand, ignoring the impact of technology. Others are increasingly leveraging off cloud based technologies to move into higher margin advisory services. Some larger firms are investing in technologies that allow them to extract extra value through data mining, analytics and exception reporting.
Technology is also re-shaping skill sets. Strong relationship skills are essential to complement technical and ethical competencies. Problem solving abilities, a strong business acumen and a strategic mindset are highly sought-after competencies. To access these skills, accounting services firms are increasingly hiring people from disciplines other than accounting.
The consequences will be significant for accounting services providers that cling to the tried and trusted.
Technology - the key driver of change
Cloud based accounting software is still not the norm in New Zealand but Westpac predicts it will become so, completely replacing traditional desktop technology. This will eliminate the role of accountants in all aspects of traditional accounting work – and it could happen sooner rather than later.
The consequences will be significant for accounting services providers that cling to the tried and trusted. They won't be able to compete with new software that can prepare financial statements and tax returns faster and at a fraction of the cost.
Hardest hit are likely to be smaller firms that either lack the resources to change or the will to do so. Eventually, Westpac predicts, most will go out of business or be acquired by other firms looking for specific competencies.
Auditing and assurance services could feel the pinch too. Medium term, advances in technology could see audit become largely automated though still requiring human intervention. Further out, the situation could be more extreme, with integration between fully automated accounting systems run by firms and those operated by the authorities resulting in a situation where there is no need for either auditing services or human intervention. In essence, the systems would run themselves.
Critical success factors
Westpac forecasts that the accounting services industry as we know it will no longer exist in New Zealand. It will instead sit within a broader advisory/professional services sector. But this does not mean the end of accountants.
Accounting firms of the future need to be entrepreneurial, actively looking for new ways to improve revenues and be willing to shed those services that limit revenue growth rather than cling to them for dear life.
Several factors will determine success. Foremost is the ability to leverage new technologies to deliver new solutions to customers at lowest cost.
Firms will also need to improve their situational expertise and offer competencies and skills not traditionally related to accounting. The focus will increasingly be on being a trusted partner (rather than an advisor) who understands all aspects of their client's business, strategically, tactically and operationally.
The final critical success factor is having a clear vision of which market segment and service offering will maximise profitability.

Media Blasting at American Dry Stripping™ & Xtreme Coatings
At American Dry Stripping™ & Xtreme Coatings we are experts in using dry abrasive media blasting for surface preparation.
Dry abrasive media blasting, generically known as sandblasting, is the process we use for all our surface preparation work. Industrial manufacturing and fabrication, welding fabricators, construction, automotive restoration and individuals like do-it-yourselfers are just a few examples of the primary customer segments that seek our expert services, advice and surface preparation expertise.
American Dry Stripping™ & Xtreme Coatings helps people with sandblasting, media blasting, and powder coating services. We are based in Milford, Connecticut and serve customers in metropolitan New York and surrounding counties, Long Island, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Contact us to learn more.
We offer a pick-up and delivery service.
What Is Abrasive Media Blasting or Sandblasting?
Abrasive Media Blasting is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface, or remove surface contaminants. A pressurized fluid, typically air, or a centrifugal wheel is used to propel the blasting material (typically called the media).
Variants include: bead blasting, sandblasting, soda blasting, shot blasting and more recently slurry or dustless blasting.
The abrasive media blasting process is achieved with a variety of ecologically, "green" friendly media, including:
- plastic or glass (bead or crushed),
- natural or synthetic mineral
- aluminum oxide
- walnut shell or corn cob
The media is propelled through a high-pressure tool and easily strips away old paint, rust, and other kinds of surface blemishes or imperfections.
At our shop, our blasting systems include blasting booth, air dryers and oil and water separators, dust collection, manual and mechanical media reclamation, media volume and air pressure regulators and supportive protective gear for the operator.
Uses for Dry Abrasive Media Blasting
Dry abrasive media blasting, also known as "sandblasting," can be used to remove or clean excess or unwanted materials from a surface and is one of the most efficient methods for removal of rust (oxidation), corrosion, paint or powder coat, fabrication imperfections and more from the surface of metal materials.
The advantage of the procedure is that it keeps the surface intact, while everything else is removed.
Surface Prep and Anchor Pattern Surface Profiling
A critical application of the abrasive blasting process is to effectively add an Anchor Pattern or adhesion profile-etch to a metal surface.
Anchor pattern surface profiling or magnitude of roughness, measured in mils or 1/1000th of an inch, is determined by the requirements of the customer's finish application for the material.
Anchor pattern profiling manipulates coefficient of friction for a particular surface by creating degrees of roughness. This results in improved adhesion properties for a subsequent surface finish such as paint or powder coat.
Thus, abrasive media blasting is one of the most cost effective, efficient ways of cleaning a hard surfaced material in preparation for surface finishing work either by removing fabrication imperfections, stripping rust or attaining a desired anchor pattern profile.
We apply this process with all manner of hard surfaces which can include:
- Steel and various grades of steel
- Metal alloys
- Aluminum
- Fiberglass
- Carbon fiber
- Glass and acrylics
Removing Rust, Corrosion and Deteriorated Finish Coatings
Abrasive media blasting strips the existing oxidation leaving an exposed metal surface. Once the decision is made to blast clean a metal surface it is critical to have a plan for protecting the exposed metal. Once surface contaminants are removed the exposed, raw metal once again has no protection from the oxidation process. Time, temperature and humidity now become your enemies in the battle to preserve the newly exposed metals.
Properly and completely removing rust and corrosion from metal is perhaps the one of the most important steps we at American Dry Stripping™ can help you with to ensure longevity of your equipment or component parts in the restoring process. Comprehensive surface preparation is the critical first step in ensuring optimal downstream outcomes.
Both The Society of Protective Coatings (SSPC) and National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) have established standards for abrasive media blasting preparation of metal surfaces for optimal surface preparation in preparation for best possible surface finish outcomes.
The Benefits of Abrasive Media Blasting at American Dry Stripping™

- Use of correct media blasting products includes versatile and "green" materials such as plastic, glass bead or other types of environmentally friendly media.
In addition to our focus on process and methodology it is so important to know the optimum size and type of grit (media) to utilize on a given project.
Understanding of and attention to time, angle, distance and pressure to deliver to a surface to insure the original part whether metal, alloy or fiberglass is not damaged yet achieves optimal blast & strip cleaning results comes from the years of experience and expertise our team brings everyday to your particular project.
Time Efficiency
There is a financial advantage to abrasive media blasting. By using these different methods of blasting and media types, we can complete jobs effectively and in the most cost efficient manner.
In the past, when steel or other metals needed cleaning, it took days of scrubbing and soaking in harsh chemicals. Now, thanks to state-of-the-art abrasive blasting techniques, these jobs can be completed in hours instead of days, saving money, time, and labor.

Kanin Club at Paseo de Sta. Rosa: The Filipino Casual Dining Pioneer
There was once a time when a desire to present the best in Filipino food meant one of two things: visiting restaurants like Kamayan, Barrio Fiesta, and Max's, or looking for the best carinderia you can walk to.
This all changed in 2005 when a pair of restaurant owners (Tony and Mariela Luna Cancio of Café Breton and Anthony and Emely Mendoza of the now-defunct Gabino's) decided to put up a restaurant that will set the stage for future Filipino restaurants: Kanin Club.
The name comes from the desire to uphold the one staple food that most Filipinos seem to agree on (and possibly cannot live without): rice. There are hundreds of dishes scattered throughout the Philippine archipelago that represent Philippine food culture, and Kanin Club honors this very culture by presenting classic Filipino flavors in ways most people would not have thought of.
The restaurant itself is an homage to the ways Filipinos get introduced to these homegrown recipes. It exudes a vibe similar to that of your Filipino grandparent's house in the countryside, with capiz shell windows, wooden chairs and tables, and music that dates as far back as the 40's. They even play kundiman or traditional Filipino love songs in the morning!
There's no wifi, no outlets on or under each table for you to charge any of your devices, and hardly a TV in sight. This lets you focus on food and company, the two things that really matter to Filipinos.
If there's one dish that is synonymous with Kanin Club, it's their Crispy Dinuguan (Php 310). It's a dish that hails from Ilocos, and uses bagnet or deep-fried crispy pork belly stewed in pig's blood. If you've never tried dinuguan, this is the easiest way to introduce yourself (and your friends) to this Filipino staple.

Dinuguan is often paired with putong puti or Filipino steamed rice cakes, but Kanin Club offers something a bit more Southeast Asian to pair with their dinuguan: a serving of their Thai Green Mango Salad (Php 185), which has thinly-sliced green mangoes, onions, cilantro, and peanuts. It's topped off with a sweet-and-salty mix that completes the salad and makes it more appetizing with the dinuguan.
If you're feeling a bit cheeky, you can always pair the dinuguan with their Crispy Beef Salad (Php 260). It's not exactly a healthy salad, but the shredded beef (which looks similar to corned beef) placed on a bed of fresh onions, cilantro, and tomatoes makes you feel you are still eating a salad.
With six branches scattered within Metro Manila and their maiden branch at Paseo de Sta. Rosa, Kanin Club has become a staple that most people still visit—even after 13 years.

A small bedroom can lead to some serious teeth gnashing, but we have some good news for you - it doesn't need to be the end of the world.
Instead, you simply need to think in a way that helps you maximise both your style and space potential.
If you don't know what this involves, we've spoken to the experts at Spaceslide who are explaining exactly what you can do. It's time to get smart and act in a practical way...
1. Clutter elimination
In a small bedroom, one thing that's crucial is simplicity. Tidy away anything that shouldn't be out, whether it's an unsightly knotted phone charger, a pair of shoes or a screwed up t-shirt. If you're really pushed for space, you could always try using storage boxes - these can then be hidden beneath the bed or wardrobe and before you know it, you'll have clear surfaces.
2. Clever storage
A way to maximise your storage will be by making the most of an empty space. A great solution to try will be a built-in wardrobe with sliding doors. It's not only minimalist in style but provides you with a lot of extra storage too. Sliding doors creates a more spacious feeling in your room, as the doors don't open into the room - this, in turn, gives you more room for a bed or sofa.
3. It's an illusion
Use mirrors to magnify the space – something like a free-standing full length mirror can bounce natural light across the room to make it feel both larger and airier. It also gives you the chance to get more creative - you could pick a wardrobe frame to matches the wall paint to give you the illusion of a larger room.
4. Away we go
In a small bedroom, the largest surface area will be the ceiling. Therefore, start to use this space. If you hang decorative items from the ceiling, you achieve two things - you not only free up space, but also naturally draw the eye upwards. For instance, a good space saving tip could be hanging pendant lights instead of having a bedside table lamp.

Weekends used to be fun when I was in States last year. I can only think of 2 weekends on which I stayed at home. There was so much to see and explore that we used to hit the road on almost every Sat/Sun. Friday night was many a times a party night which used to end late at 12 or 1 AM. Someone has to remind that we have to leave early morning for somewhere, was when we hurried up for taking a nap. Oh, those winter nights, those glasses of Red Wine, Vodka, Tequila and at two occassions beer. I entered this world of drinks at that time only in October of 2007, my first visit to USA.
For obvious reasons, I was not ready to even "try" anything or something for that matter! In my college days, my friends were not such Drinkers, and so I had stayed away from these things at a time when you are supposed to fall most easily in your life. ANyways, so I drank my first drink in my manager's house over dinner occasion being my third day in States 🙂 I was insited that Margarita (most common tequila-based cocktails) was almost as good as Sprite 😛 I fell for the bait and thought of giving it a try (due to something which was urging me to and I can't tell what it was). I must say that, I love the drink and after a glass, I had no sign of even a bit of dizziness, which means I passed the so-called test and I am fit for drinking 😀
Some weeks later, Manish (my manager at that time) introduced one of the best things I have tasted so far, Red Wine. Man, I loved this thing so much. I felt a kind of style in having a glass of Red Wine. And then, I became on of those who favored Red Wine in parties over Beer. Beer is something, I never kind of liked. I have kept myself away from it! And then there was Vodka and Tequila which were on my list of favs!
I really adore those 3 months, not for drinks but for the people around me, the fun we had, the travel we did and the memories I have!

Rhetorical Analysis of a Public Document
The Centers for Disease Control, or CDC for short, is an agency that is associated with the United States' federal government with the mission of helping to protect Americans from "health, safety, and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S." (Mission, Role and Pledge, 2014). This mission also encompasses educating all Americans about diseases and disorders. The public website about ADHD is used to inform the public about this disorder, and uses the three rhetorical appeals introduced by Aristotle of logos, ethos and pathos to persuade the audience about the information being presented about ADHD.
Logos is the Greek word for "word", and is the rhetorical appeal which aims to persuade the audience's powers of reason and logic (Ethos Logos Pathos: The 3 Modes of Persuasion, n.d.). In this aspect, the document contains a clear and logical organization of the evidence supporting the different aspects of ADHD, starting with a concise introduction and continuing on with the different signs and symptoms, how the disease is diagnosed and ending with the current treatment options that are generally accepted in the medical community. Another example of the use of logic and reason is contained within the section that discusses causes of ADHD. The author details the information that is currently available from the research that has been so far, noting that there is no definite link to the exact cause(s) of the disorder. It then goes further to describe that there is a belief that there is a genetic link, and because there have been twins that both have similar genes and have had this disorder, that the logic helps support the concept that genetics play a role in the disorder. (Facts About ADHD, 2016)
Ethos is derived from the Greek word for "character" and is the word that is the basis for the English term "ethic" (Edlund,...

In most cases, buyers find themselves with a wide variety of options to an extent where they become confused and spoiled for choice. That's why Wirefly embarked on a journey to do an extensive research with an aim of giving people some insights on the best home security systems in Warrenton, MO.
Wirefly has had lengthy discussions with the best security experts in the country in a bid to determine the most efficient home security systems. We also reached out to hundreds of customers who have had an experience with a security system to get some feedback on the quality of the products they used. In the end, we came up with an accurate and comprehensive report on security systems in Warrenton, MO. In addition, we have included some crucial information on what a customer should consider when purchasing a home security system. We hope that this information will help our readers make informed decisions when buying home security systems.
Warrenton, MO features a large number of home security and alarm providers. Each security service provides special features and advantages and its own pricing system. Whatever the size or specifics of your home, Wirefly can help you to determine the best system for you. There are three main factors that go into the total price of any home security system. These are installation costs, equipment fees and monthly monitoring costs. Professional installation of your home security system may cost up to $200. However, a number of system options do not require professional help to install. The basic security system itself can cost around $250 for essential equipment. If you sign up for a monthly monitoring security contract, providers will often include a system in the overall cost. Monthly monitoring is also a major part of any home security contract. Depending on the services you choose, monthly fees can range from $15 to $200 in costs.
Revolutions come in waves, and one hit the home security system industry like a tidal wave with new wireless technology. Residents in Warrenton, MO now have the opportunity to have state-of-the-art technology installed in their homes.
Some homeowners might be afraid that a professional will come to their home and drill numerous holes in their walls to install this new system, but that is not necessary. One of the perks of the wireless home security system is that there is no need for holes or wires to connect to the security panel. The components in this system have no wires and can be moved without affecting their signal. This is possible because wireless systems now communicate via cellular signals that allow the panel to keep tabs on the entire home without a single wire. Most homeowners love the fact that burglars cannot debilitate the landline or power lines to disable the home security system.
In Warrenton, MO, security systems can be customized to meet individual needs. From indoor or outdoor cameras to advanced features like night-vision, there is a security system design for nearly any situation. Using the latest technology, customers can now remotely access their home security system from practically anywhere. This means that customers can use their tablet, smartphone or computer to view live- or previously-recorded footage from cameras throughout the home. Motion-activated cameras allow customers to instantly review the events of the day without needlessly watching hours of footage. These cameras can be used to watch pets or deliveries at the home when residents are busy or away from the home.
Yes, homeowners can add additional smart features to their homes. There are many gadgets available that can make home life a little easier and safer. For example, door locks can now be automated. One can log in to the system anywhere and lock the doors or open them if needed. There are several reasons why someone might need to unlock their doors when they are not home. For one, this could be useful if a child or spouse forgets their keys. All one has to do is look through the digital peephole to verify that it is indeed a family member who is asking for the door to be remotely opened. Smart gadgets can be applied to your appliances, too. A heater or AC could be shut off or turned on without someone being home. This means that a homeowner can make sure his or her home is at an ideal temperature before anyone steps through the front door. The home automation system can alert a homeowner through his or her phone about more than just security breaches. The system can warn about a CO2 leak or water leak, just to name a few examples. Smart automation is the next logical, wise, and incredibly affordable step. Homeowners should take advantage of this opportunity.

Bay Favorite
6031 N Kent Ave Whitefish Bay [map]
5 Bdrms / 4 Full & 1 Half Bath
Suzanne Powers
Powers Realty
This beautiful five-bedroom Colonial in Whitefish Bay was just listed by Suzanne Powers of Powers Realty.
The location is Kent Avenue, between Montclair and Monrovia. This is just a couple of blocks from both Richards School and the JCC.
Here is one of our favorites in Whitefish Bay: this charming, renovated Whitefish Bay Colonial was built in 1938 for Miller Brewing scion Frederick C. Miller. It was on the market briefly last year and the sellers inform us that they won't leave it on the market for long. It was just listed this week by Suzanne Powers of Powers Realty.
This home has had just four owners since it was built in 1938 - including Fred C. Miller. Miller was from Whitefish Bay and attended Notre Dame where, in 1928, he was captain of the football team under Knute Rockne. Later, Miller was President of Miller Brewing and brought the Braves to Milwaukee from Boston. Sadly, he died in a plane crash in 1954. (Wikipedia link.)
This Colonial has five bedrooms and is on a double lot with an awesome fenced-in backyard and a lovely deck (pictured below). Inside has been completely renovated, including a new kitchen, new bathrooms and new floors. We really like the cute family room that opens out to the pretty deck and yard - looks excellent for entertaining.

Focus: Organic to continue to withstand downturn
While seeing sales slide in certain markets, globally, the organic sector has largely proved resilient amid the worst economic conditions for a generation. Euromonitor International's Diana Cowland looks at the likely drivers behind the continued steady growth in the sector.
Global organic packaged food and beverages has shown resilient growth over recent years and in 2010, was valued at US$27bn, up from US$18bn in 2005. Global and regional opportunities for brand expansion and company acquisition both within food and beverages and beyond are numerous.
Global sales of organics increased in at double-digit rates between 2006 and 2008 but growth slowed during the recession due to products being more expensive than their conventional counterparts. Nevertheless, a constant CAGR of 7% was posted over 2006-2010 and growth of organics during the crisis of 2008/2009 remained positive at 1%. Euromonitor International forecasts that growth will not return to pre-recession rates but will maintain healthy year-on-year growth of 4% over 2011-2015.
The majority of retail sales in 2010 occurred in developed markets; however, emerging markets, particularly Latin America and Asia Pacific, are witnessing strong growth, albeit from low bases.
While emerging markets represent just 5% of global organic retail sales, with rising disposable income, increased health and environmental awareness, and unsaturated markets, they hold the potential for strong growth within this sector. For example, Latin America posted a constant CAGR of 32% over 2005-2010, over five times the global growth rate and growth is set to remain high with a constant CAGR of 15% for 2010-2015.
With expansion opportunities aplenty, companies looking to move into these markets have to target their products towards local consumers. In developed markets, dairy, ready meals and baby food drive sales due to consumers wanting health and convenience satisfaction. However, in Brazil, it is organic sauces, dressings and condiments that registered the highest sales thanks to the good performance of Amazonias Indústrias Alimentícias SA and its brand King of Palm.
In Asia Pacific, China recorded a constant CAGR of 32% over 2006-2010, somewhat larger than Japan's 4% even though the latter recorded 68% of all regional organic sales in 2010. This large growth in China is due to increased spending power combined with recent health scares and greater awareness about organics. Interestingly, the largest contributor to China's strong growth was the arrival of organic vegetable and seed oil onto the market in 2007, and Qingdao Changshou Foods Co Ltd holds the leading position in this category with sales of US$2.5m in 2010. As cost is an issue for consumers, oil and fat products that last longer compared to other organic products, such as rice, are witnessing strong growth.
Organic baby food contradicts other trends seen within organics as it is considered to have strong health-related benefits compared to its conventional counterparts. Consumers are willing to spend more money, even in times of recession, to ensure their children have good quality and safe produce. Over 2008/2009 year-on-year growth was 8% for both organic and conventional baby food, however, for milk formula, dried and prepared baby food organic posted higher rates than conventional categories, according to Euromonitor International's packaged food data.
Organic baby food is growing globally. Recent health scares such as the melamine contamination of milk formula in 2009 have led to strong growth in China; organic baby food sales of US$13m were recorded in 2010 and globally, 16% of absolute growth for organic milk formula is to come from emerging markets over 2010-15. Organic baby food is set to continue posting strong growth. Having recorded a constant CAGR of 7% over 2006-10, it is set to see absolute growth of US$477 over 2010-2015 globally. This growth is driven primarily by two companies, Hipp and Hain Celestial, which together hold a 44% share of global retail value sales.
The top two players in organic baby food are also the largest brands in organics globally; combined they have a retail value share of just under 5% of organics packaged food and drinks. Yet multinational FMCG companies' organic offerings remain minimal; according to Euromonitor International's data, Nestle, the world's largest packaged food company, takes just 0.2% of its total retail sales from organic products. Yet this has not stopped companies seeing the benefits of acquisitions. Since 2005, Euromonitor has recorded ten important acquisitions of organic brands; for example, when Kraft Foods bought Cadbury in 2010 it acquired organic confectionery brand Green & Black's, allowing the US food giant to tap into a new category.
However, with a high proportion of organic sales occurring through large retailers, such as supermarkets and hypermarkets, private-label sales of organics have grown by 93% between 2005 and 2010. Private label from premium retailers, such as Whole Foods Market through to discounters such as Aldi, has made organics more accessible to mainstream consumers. Prices are more competitive and concerns over reputation and consumer trust that normally act as a barrier for private label are relatively weak as products still have to be certified by an organic regulation body.
The most important trend being witnessed in organics today is the creation of functional organic products. In a health and wellness market worth US$601bn, the potential to link organic products to other health trends such as "fortified/functional" or "better for you" are infinite. This not only provides differentiation from the growing "naturally healthy" segment, worth US$241bn, but also creates added value, an important selling point for a product in today's market.
North American and Western Europe, which accounted for 90% of organic retail value sales in 2010, will remain a priority to most companies. Only three of the world's 15 largest contributors to organics are located outside these regions, in Japan, Russia and Australia. The global organic market is set to increase from US$27bn in 2010 to nearly US$33bn in 2015; nearly 90% of this growth will be driven by organic packaged food. However, organic beverages is by no means a small category; Euromonitor estimates that it will generate nearly US$700m in additional value over the same time period. However, organics is not just limited to packaged food and beverages.
Euromonitor's research shows that organic products are present, and growing, in other industries including alcoholic drinks, tissue and hygiene, apparel, beauty and personal care and pet food. Those companies, such as Hain Celestial, with brands including Avalon Organics and Orjene Organics, which have branched away from organic food and beverages into the likes of beauty and personal care are posting strong growth.
Therefore in order to retain a credible position in a growing market, companies looking at expansion should not limit themselves to organic as a single functionality when developing products and should potentially look beyond food and beverages.
