Tea the true story by Chris Rawstern

Do all over the world know that tea is, right? Tea, technically, comes from the leaves of a plant, camellia sinensis. Anything other than the leaves of this plant isn't really tea, but tea is often used as a Word from the word to include all beverages of different herbs used these days.

The legend says that tea was discovered long ago in China almost by accident. Some leaves from a nearby plant blew into a cup of hot water; a pleasant drink Brown, was found to have a refreshing taste, and born tea. However it was discovered, the tea is very refreshing, if it is black, green, oolong, or white. Tea has shown in recent times to have wonderful health benefits. We have all heard of antioxidants in tea, helping to fight the free radicals that can cause damage to the body. Tea is much lower in caffeine coffee. It's refreshing to use it hot or cold.

There are various types of tea, all beginning with the same leaves. Black tea is created by bruising or crushing the green leaves to expose them to the oxidation and allowing them to ferment, then rolling and drying leaves. This produces a beautifully colored drink and has the strongest of all varieties of tea flavor. Oolong tea (pronounced OH long) is oxidized and the same as fermented black tea, but only for about half of the time and the resulting product is a lighter, more reddish drink with one flavor all its own, somewhere in between the black and green tea tea. For green tea, the leaves are immediately, heated then completely stop the fermentation process, dried and rolled. Occurs one drink color beautiful light and it says that the greatest health benefits. The process of white tea is similar to green tea, but only unopened leaf buds are used. It has the same properties of green tea health, but the flavor is the lightest and most delicate.

Good quality tea is a wonderful drink. All rolled or twisted sheets are the best quality; the lower the blade, the higher the quality of the tea. The upper grades are called flowery, flowery gold or Tippy. Second, so-called choppy, are sheets which have broken into smaller pieces. Make a large tea and are usually less expensive. Surplus smaller particles of tea, Fannings, called process are what is used in tea bags. He prepares tea, of course, but once you taste a prepared a wonderful full leaf black tea-Darjeeling tea, for example, it is difficult to return to a bag of tea for optimum flavor.

Orange Pekoe (rhyme with gecko) is a Western terminology applied to a degree of black tea; the Orange word in the name has nothing to do with the flavor, but could be a reference to the Dutch House of Orange using the Orange known as an implicit sea "of some sort. Tea may be an interpretation Westernized for a Chinese word meaning white hairs, referring to the fine white down in tea leaves.

Therefore, whatever are called herbal drinks? Herbal beverages are called herbal teas and can be prepared by various methods, usually infusion or decoction. It is incorrect to term tea is applied to anything infused or cooked, although really is infused tea. The infusion is the method of preparation of the election leaves, flowers or buds; plant material that will release their properties easily into a potable beverage. Placed in hot or water boiled and allowed to soak, the herbs release their goodness in water and then filter out. Decoction is the method used for materials harder or denser plant, such as roots or bark that take longer to release their flavors or health benefits. With cooking, the plant materials are brought to the boil, simmer gently for 15 minutes or more allowing the liquid to reduce and then filter.

No matter which you prefer, tea or herbal tea, pure enjoyment or for health benefits, look for the best quality. Discover your favorites among the different types of loose tea. Infusions of different herbal taste and discover new flavours. Above all, enjoy.

Gluten free baking, a journey in the new territory by Chris Rawstern

Gluten-free foods are taking their place in the world these days. We are becoming more aware of the gluten intolerance to gluten, celiac disease (celiac), and what this means for many people. Although I am not gluten intolerant, often cooking and baking for functions, locally. Last year asked me that they provide little treats for a party Princess, by the Dacotah Prairie Museum. Accompanied by a Queen, were invited children from tots to teenagers, to learn about the lives of real princesses. Taught how wave correctly and curtsey.

Girls hear the Princess from the word and are dreamy eyes. The program is sold out. I've done a lot of goodies, but he discovered one of the Princesses and Queen were gluten intolerant and could not participate in many of the treats little. It was an intolerable situation. I needed to learn about this disease, be aware of what was involved and provide alternatives that would be exciting and tasty.

During the past year, I have state testing different gluten-free flour mixes and doing a lot of treats, mainly from my own normal recipes, simply substituting gluten-free flour and adding xanthan gum. In general, they have been a huge success. In my honest opinion, as someone who has been baking for 42 years, some cakes, fruit or nut breads are more moist and tender than when it is made with wheat flour, a very happy discovery, no doubt. The Queen mentioned above, works in the Museum, so I took an afternoon to talk to this young man and learn more about what was involved. Also had baked one of my favorite recipes for coffeecake, gluten-free and took for herself and the staff of the Museum prove. All of them loved it, moist and tender and full of flavor. The young woman was happy with my experiment, as I do.

Another great help on the road was Shauna Aherns Gluten-Free girl web site. I have extensively studied your website and learned all kinds of things there. You get confused with its blend of gluten-free flour to experiment as well try one of your recipes for bread; another success. I took some bread to the woman at the Museum to sample, as well as a piece of cover with cheese and pesto home and roast on the grill. He exclaimed, this is the best bread I have ever tasted since going gluten-free.

This coffeecake recipe was given to me by my best friend of 54 years and is an excellent recipe, no matter which meal you choose. This is the original, longer gluten-free recipe, substitute a mixture of gluten-free flour composed of 6 cups of rice flour and 2 cups of potato starch, starch tapioca 1 Cup. I used this mixture measure for measure in this recipe and added 1 teaspoon of paste xanthan gum to the sieved dry ingredients. Be sure to check labels for hidden wheat ingredients to make this Gluten-free.

Bundt Coffeecake

1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 eggs
1 cup of sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup walnuts; walnuts or Pecans are good
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar until light. Add the eggs, sour cream and vanilla and mix well. Cierna flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well. Grease a 10-inch bundt or tube.

Mix the chopped Pecans, 2 teaspoons of sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1/2 of the roof into the greased pan. In the middle of the mass - this requires plopping teaspoons of batter into the Pan as the mixture is very thick. Then with gentle care to fill the gaps. Tapping the pan on the help desk. Pour over the rest of the cover and again plop tablespoons in the skillet until all the dough is used.

Bake for 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the Center comes out clean. Leave to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Sprinkle sugar over the cake, if desired. It serves 12 to 16.

GLUTEN-free option: replace the flour with gluten-free flour mix preferred and add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum. Mix and bake as directed. Bake at times is a little longer than normal, but the texture and moisture is so wonderful, I can't wait those few minutes more.
Try this recipe, in any way, and don't feel it is.

Corn Dog Batter By Pat Jackson

Reliving what you loved in your childhood, those fond memories of carnivals and fairs, and really getting back to that time of innocence and youth is usually about having or doing something that you loved back then. This can come in many different forms, all depending on what you enjoyed as a child, but there are a few things that many children had in common.

Going to a carnival or fair was one of them and, when there, they usually ate the food that they still love today. One of these foods is a corn dog! Even today, many of the adults who loved it when they were young still enjoy having one because it brings them back to their youth, while also being very tasty. Of course, if they want one today, they will usually have to go to a carnival for a good one, which can be difficult.

Those who do not want to go through that hassle or buy frozen ones do have the perfect option, though! You can make your own at home and it is simple to do! From making the corn dog batter to frying them up, you will have your corn dogs ready quickly.

Making the corn dog batter is, obviously, the first step when making your own corn dogs. Without it, you are just frying a corn dog plain, which is not going to taste like you imagine a corn dog would. If you do not know exactly how to make the batter then you can rely on recipes. There are some very interesting and tasty recipes available for every person to look into, as well as being easy.

Corn dogs in general are easy to make so you will not find many recipes out there that are near impossible to deal with. Some are even creative about flavoring the batter, which really makes something you can enjoy. The different additions available allow you the ability to take what you love and change it into something else. Make your childhood treat something to fit your adult taste or just play with what you enjoy a little; it can really pay off in the end.

Whether you want normal corn dog batter or something a tad bit more adventurous, the way it is made is usually the same. You take your ingredients and mix them in a bowl until you have a nice and smooth batter to dip your hot dogs into, which should come after you dip them in the flour. If the corn dog batter is normal, you already know how it will taste after fried, but if you added something to it then it can become an adventure in itself to taste this new treat.

It will be as if you are a child again, tasting a corn dog for the first time. Recipes are easy so, if it did not turn out to your liking, you can always scrap what you currently have and try again. Make it until you are happy with what you have!

Manufacture of biscuits provided my mom method occupied by Chris Rawstern

In the 1970s, when I was very young and with small children to care for, I had some recipes of cookies that would make very often, because they were simple recipes, with ingredients they had usually handmade. Cookies are an excellent snack, don't require utensils to eat and pick up and can be made later for a party. However, even with all this, simply aren't my favorite things to do, because they need to make up falling individually in the tray for baking, deploying and cut (get dirty on the counter and cleaning more) or the passage often added to cool the mass before work. I like the immediacy. I want to mix a recipe, bake, clean and make.

One morning I made a batch of these "cookies", finally appeared the last bread in the oven and set the timer. Wanting to get out for a bit and see what the children were doing, I went out and got distracted. By the time I remembered the cookies in the oven, they had burned and shrunk down to small disks of black hockey little - or dogs had some interest in them! It is important not to get distracted when baking. This was high. I had to think of a better way.

I thought a great idea I call me one busy-mom-method that I use to date. Rather than take the time to do all the individual cookies in batches, with times of baking independent (and time to relax), roll the cookie dough directly onto a tray greased baking, work it evenly to the edges, and bake it like a big cookie. It is best to use a plate to oven which has three open sides, since it is easy to maneuver the rolling pin and get the cookie rolled evenly. Note also, that a little more than flour may be necessary in the mass to allow lifting it out and form a rough rectangle for rolling. Also, a little extra flour on the surface while wheel helps non-stick with the roller. Try not to add more flour than absolutely necessary, or cookies will be thicker and harder.

It takes a few minutes in the oven with a large biscuit, but comes out perfectly. Simply look at the edges to be gold, and the Center to be established. With these cookies, also do a simple icing which is only 1 1/2 cups of sugar, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and enough water or milk to make a thick consistency (very slow fall from the spoon). Spread over hot cookies directly from the oven. Hot biscuit heated the icing, making it melt and spread easily, using the back of the same spoon used to mix the icing. I'm less cleaning! Once the cookie is cooled, the icing dries and hardens and I only cut the large square and ready forms or small bar cookie, "cookies" in half the time. Two of my favorite recipes for this method were hermits and Simple vanilla cookies. If you're a busy mother, try this method with any simple cookie dough. The hermit cookies was raisins in them, but the bulk of the mass was not less than the thickness of the raisins, and still worked fine.
Simple vanilla cookies

Makes about 7 dozen

1 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

Cream butter, shortening and sugar. Add the vanilla and salt. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add the flour, mixing well. Drop from teaspoon 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Flatten with floured glass, flat bottom. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Unmold immediately.

These Simple vanilla cookies are incredibly good, simple recipe. Don't take my word - test them, as individual cookies, or with my busy-mom-method.

Making a Rich and Thick Coffee with Turkish Ibrik By Sergei Pikovski

It is a fact that coffee has become a huge industry these days that is why there are different ways in brewing them that includes using an Ibrik from Turkey. As a matter of fact, it is the industry that is second largest to oil all over the world. In addition, coffee has always been one of the favorite beverages that many love. Coffee can be brewed in different ways.

There are different recipes that people can make using the Turkish apparatus called the Ibrik. Turkish coffee is known to be really strong and at the same time flavorful. However, the coffee that the said apparatus produces is not recommended for those who are faint-hearted.

According to history, Ibrik is a traditional pot that is handmade. It has an open top with a long handle. The most common materials that it is made of are copper, brass, copper, as well as other metals. On the other hand, there are some who use ceramic.

The Ibrik is a small pot that can only hold enough coffee. It makes about a cup or a couple. The top of the pot is known to be narrower as compared to its bottom area. The long handle of the pot is designed to be able to accurately prevent burning the users' hands because the end of the pot is directly placed in the source of the heat.

Most people use dark roasted coffee that is extremely and finely ground. It is put into the Ibrik along with a similar amount of sugar. Usually, a spoonful for each individual is enough to make a cup. In addition, a small quantity of water is also needed. Typically, it would require about 4 fl oz every spoonful of coffee.

There are times when the grinders in the coffee pot are unable to thoroughly grind the coffee fine. That is why most people use a pestle as well as a mortar in order to pulverize the coffee before using. If the coffee is too course, it will not be able to produce a Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee is rich that provides coffee drinkers an intense pleasure. It is also sweetened and is often spiced. Often, sugar as well as cinnamon is added to the pot with the coffee.

The process of making a Turkish coffee is very simple. Sugar and water are boiled together in the Ibrik. When they are boiled, finely ground coffee is then added. When the water simmers, the coffee begins to foam up on top of the Ibrik's neck. The foam has to be stirred in and then heated again until it comes up one more time. The process has to be repeated many times. The whole process takes about seven minutes to finally brew. And then, the pot is taken off the heat that makes the coffee grounds to settle.

As a result of the said process, the coffee is thicker and more intense. Moreover, the Ibrik coffee is more sediment, and it has a certain "chewiness" as compared to a cup of French press coffee.

Why These Three Fruits Are Great for Smoothies By Steve Sheer

A smoothie is a tasty style of saving time. Modern people simply HAVE TO love them. Think about it, you can actually eat something you like and feel you're getting healthier. You can drink it without feeling bad about this short period of enjoyment. They're sweet as well as tasty and they're healthy too, what a mix!

The Fruit

Many people have been asking for quite some time now, is there a fruit that's better than another? Does the best fruit really exist -- the healthiest one that goes perfectly with any other?

The response to that concern is quite simple -- there is no such thing as the greatest fruit. You can find fruits that offer you much more nutrients and there are those which are basically tastier than others. Still, as with almost anything on the planet, everything boils down to the way you make it. To help you choose the best fruit for your needs, here is a listing and description of the most favored fruits used to make a smoothie.

Fruits Used Most Often

The best fruit to start with is undoubtedly oranges. Oranges aren't just probably the most famous fruits, but they're also one of the most beloved ones. It's also a well known fact they're incredibly healthy, too. Oranges have beta carotene, which is an incredibly strong anti-oxidant -- it prevents cells from being harmed. This means it's one of the most healthy fruits in existence.

Another fruit that we need not to overlook, is undoubtedly strawberries. Of course, strawberries are as nutritious as oranges, let me tell you that. Strawberries are jam-packed with riboflavin (vitamin B2), that is accountable for body growth (crucial for kids). This fruit is additionally really light and very tasty -- sweet and delicate.

To be honest, there's practically nothing simpler than preparing a banana smoothie -- you don't need to add any other thing. But the real reason why we love smoothies so much is because their flavor is more complex. There are several positive aspects of bananas inside a smoothie, aside from the vitamins and minerals -- it's the fullness they bring. Bananas also add a bit of sweet taste (just be certain you don't overdo), which may successfully remove the need to add refined sugar. Also, bananas contain tryptophan, a substance that makes people happier compared to what they usually are.

The Conclusion

What you ought to keep in mind at all times is, that in most instances the beauty of a smoothie lies in its simplicity. Combining many fruits might give you amazing results, however it may as well make the taste too complicated. But when you stick to those three fruits and add a maximum of 3 or 4 more, you will not be sorry.

Just be sure to continually try out new stuff, to check out untried combinations. Oranges fit with bananas, yet not so good with strawberries; they also make a great mix with oats. If you try many mixtures, you can rest assured that you're going to think of many different flavors you (along with everybody else) will love.

Best Stand Mixers for Flexibility By April Raine Spencer

A quick glance at one of the most popular stand mixers, the KitchenAid, reveals nothing unusual or suspect about that iconic small kitchen appliance. The Artisan model seduces with its classic retro lines while its more statuesque sibling, the Professional, commands a certain respect.

But it?s when you take a look at its slightly quirky rival, the Cuisinart standing mixer, that you are likely to do a double take. First off, you could be forgiven for assuming that you are staring at a sewing machine if it weren?t for the puzzling presence of a mixing bowl and whip accessory.

A closer look reveals an unexpected feature, one that hides the first of the Cuisinart stand mixers? dirty little secrets: a hinged cover right on the front that hides a slow speed power outlet used to connect a large meat grinder or a pasta maker attachment to the mixer, giving it much greater flexibility. Suddenly, this mixer appears more imposing.

Lifting the front cover, you can?t help but notice a second top cover with not one, but two surprise outlets. The mid speed power outlet located towards the front allows for a citrus juicer to be attached, while the high speed power outlet towards the back lets you connect either a blender or a food processor attachment.

Cuisinart stand mixers could be forgiven for having identity crises or sprouting multiple personalities. If you looked like a sewing machine operating under cover of a mixer and performing as a juicer, blender, food processor, meat grinder and pasta maker, wouldn?t you get confused? But not the Cuisinart. With a super powerful 800-watt motor, it takes everything you throw at him in its stride.

At first blush, the KitchenAid mixer appears rather puny. Just a simple mixer doing its job ? doing it well mind you, but still just? mixing. No competition here. But wait - look! What is that odd cover on the front of the mixer? Well, it turns out that the KitchenAid has its own little secrets too, an attachment hub that can house over a dozen attachments:

. ice cream maker
. pasta maker
. pasta sheet roller
. pasta roller set
. pasta cutter companion set
. pasta excellence kit
. pasta press
. ravioli maker
. grain mill
. food grinder
. food tray
. sausage stuffer
. fruit & vegetable strainer
. slicer & shredder
. citrus juicer
. can opener

Rather impressive, isn't it? A quick glance at this list, and it becomes obvious that KitchenAid stand mixers have quite the weakness for pasta. Can't say I blame them, and ravioli is up there on my list of favorites.

And let's not forget about the power of ice cream. Nothing tastes like home made ice cream. Add a little liqueur, and you have a sophisticated dessert which your guests will forever remember. If you want to become the entertaining guru in your circle of friends, look no further.

On the other hand, the Cuisinart stand mixer offers the option of adding a blender, juicer and food processor as attachments. But are they the types of small kitchen appliances you would select if you were buying them separately? For example, would you prefer a masticating juicer for health reasons?

Something else to keep in mind is that those stand mixer attachments are all sold separately. But still, you would have to fork out a lot more money to purchase individual small appliances to do the same job. You would also need more storage space so unless you have a large pantry, be prepared for a significant portion of your countertop to pretty much vanish.

When all is said and done, I guess choosing the best stand mixer for your needs will depend on the kind of parties you?re planning on throwing.

Los ingredientes básicos de la cocina tailandesa por Julie Brown

Thai cuisine is a combination of a variety of styles of cuisine from different regions of Thailand. Normally it is famous for its strong spicy flavor, but actually Thai dishes should be the perfect balance of four fundamental tastes: hot, sour, salty and sweet.

There is a degree of complexity to the Thai cuisine that often as a mixture of flavors can be confused for the inexperienced Cook. However, using the right amount of each ingredient, a harmony of flavors can be achieved, so that each of the four tastes can be distinguished and complement each other perfectly.

Thai dishes tend to include a variety of herbs and spices that are now available in the oriental supermarket and some may even be in Western supermarkets. Leaves of Kaffir lime, known as ma gruud, provide a bitter, but aromatic taste of Thai cuisine and they are usually bruised and added to many Thai soups. Famous serve in Thailand s most popular soup dish; Tom Yum Goong.

As laurel leaves, lime leaves kaffir are not consumed but used to provide an aromatic afternote. They are often mixed with other herbs, roots and spices and used to add fragrance to Thai curry paste. Fresh or frozen and dried forms can be purchased.

Lemongrass (ta krai) also provides a bitter element to Thai cuisine. Often bought fresh, but it can also be frozen for your convenience. Lemon grass is used to inject a fragrance of bitter in a wide variety of Thai cuisine, including Thai curry pastes.

Bird s eye Chile (prik kee not) is another ingredient that is widely used in Asian cuisine. Indigenous peoples of Central and South America, the bird s eye Chile made his way to Southeast Asia through Spanish and Portuguese settlers and traders. It is characterized by its fiery heat and is often consumed raw in dishes such as khao kha mu (trotter of pork stew served with rice).

Roots as (krathiam) garlic and Ginger (King) provide a basis for many Thai dishes, deep flavor though traditionally Thai chefs prefer to use a more citrus root called galangal (kha). Galangal root is a basic ingredient for many Thai curries and soups, and due to its deep flavor blends well in spicy dishes.

Dried herbs are often used to provide an element of spice in Thai cuisine. White pepper (Thai pedant bhon) was traditionally used as the leading supplier of heat until the cool Chile was brought to Thailand, but continues to be used in a wide variety of dishes.

Peppers of the Earth, (na kee nu bonn) are simply a dry version of the Chile bird s eye. The drying process allows that stored for longer and often provides a serious heat to food.

Cumin (ye raa) is typically used to provide a bitter element to Thai cuisine. This is often sold in the form of seed, but can also be sold as a dust of the Earth.

(Nam pla) fish sauce is commonly used in many Thai dishes and is made from fermented fish. It provides taste salty and spicy and is used typically as a condiment. You can be added to food during cooking, but also they can be enjoyed as a crude condiment that can be added to the prepared dishes.

Pasta shrimp (kapi) is another staple in Thai food and fermentation shrimp of Earth and salt. Like fish sauce, it has a spicy aroma but is only used as an ingredient in cooking and you can not eat raw. Shrimp pasta provides a powerful flavour that exudes bitterness and salinity and is used in the famous Chile paste called nam phrik kapi.

Thai curry paste (kaeng khrueang) which translates to "curry ingredients", can be made fresh or purchased in most supermarkets. Most kaeng khrueang will be a mixture of Earth of fresh or dried spices, chiles and herbs and other ingredients such as shrimp paste.

Provide sweetness to foods are mainly used two ingredients; (Maphrao) coconut milk and Palm sugar (nam taan peep).

Palm sugar is a solid formed sweetener made from Palm SAP. Rich and sweet flavor has a sweetness that is more subtle than cane sugar and is more suitable for cooking spicy dishes. Although it is often used to sweeten Thai desserts, regularly used in tasty Thai dishes.

Coconut milk is creamy and sweet, and is especially popular in dishes that originate from the South of Thailand. Most famous used in Thai curry, coconut milk is added after spices and herbs to provide a creamy flavor and helps mix the complex aromas.

Some Simple Tips But Still Useful For Cooking By James Clearfield

One of the best tips that you can follow when you are using oil is to add it to the sides of your pan upon cooking- so when it gets to the food, it is already heated. This will help to maximize the flavor of your food when you are done.

Partially freeze meat to make slicing into thin strips easier. This is ideal for Oriental meals like Chinese dishes or Thai dishes. By partially freezing meat ingredients, slicing is cleaner and the fibers do not stretch and tear as easily. However, be sure to allow the meat strips to thaw before cooking them, for even cooking.

Ensure that your baked fish is moist and tender by cooking "en papillote". This is a French technique that refers to fish baked in a parchment-paper packet. Place the fish and vegetables of your choice in the center of a large piece of parchment-paper. Bring the edges of the paper together, crease them tightly to form a seal, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 450 degrees. The fish and vegetables steam in the packet, keeping them moist and tender, and creating a tasty, healthy dish. (Clean-up is just as easy - simply throw away the paper after eating!)

Before you start cooking or baking make sure you have all the ingredients gathered together. This will save you time and prevent cooking mishaps. You'll have a better product in the end.

For stir fry with an authentic Chinese touch, try using their velveting technique! Prepare a mixture of corn starch, egg whites, seasonings and sherry and set your pork, chicken or shrimp in it for about half an hour. Then, blanch it in hot oil or boiling water for shiny, tender and delicious restaurant quality stir fry.

When seasoning your food, remember that it is much easier to add more seasoning if needed, but you cannot take it away if you add too much. That is why it's important to go light when seasoning with herbs and spices. You want to compliment the flavors of the food and not overpower them.

Keep a few cut up, washed, and prepared vegetables in your freezer. This will reduce your prep time when you're cooking a recipe. Onions and peppers are great to freeze. Just buy them fresh, wash and cut them when you have time, and store them in individual zip lock bags.

It is extremely embarrassing to have lumps in your gravy. It happens to everybody from the beginner cook to the master chef. There is a simple trick you can use to eliminate them. Drain the gravy through a fine strainer and discard the lumps. This technique can be used for other sauces or soups too.

Garlic is just one of many tasty ingredients whose flavor has a downside: It transfers to your hands. Rub your hands thoroughly on the interior of a stainless steel sink after working with garlic or other odoriferous cooking ingredients. This will cleanse your hands and prevent the smells from transferring to the food you handle next.

Cinnamon in the Cupboard Real or Imposter By Chris Rawstern

I have a bone to pick about cinnamon. How many of you really know what spice you have in your cupboards. Are you sure it really is cinnamon.

We in the U.S. are having the wool pulled over our eyes about cinnamon. What we commonly know in the U.S. as cinnamon is actually Cassia (cinnamomum aromaticum). It is a relative of true cinnamon, but not the real thing. The rest of the world uses true cinnamon (cinnamomum verum), in their cooking or baking, yet here we are sold something completely different.

As background, I first found out how much difference there was between these two spices when I lived in Guatemala. The cinnamon there tasted very different from what I knew growing up in Ohio; making things like an apple pie or apple crisp just tasted different. They were very good, but didn?t taste like what had known. I chalked it up to differences in quality of product, or maybe my baking skill was inadequate. Any typical Guatemalan foods I ate or made with cinnamon tasted just fine of course, with nothing to compare.

That was back in the 1970s, and it wasn?t until much later, when once again living in the U.S., I tried making a Guatemalan dish, Platanos en Mole (Plantains in Mole Sauce), using the cassia available. The dish just tasted wrong. I couldn?t understand it. I had made this dish many times in Guatemala. I had a lot more cooking and baking skill by this time. What was wrong? I started checking into spices in general, with an eye to those things I knew were different, and discovered that we in the U.S. are being marketed a completely different product.

Cassia cinnamon is a very good spice, of course. I do not for a second propose we do away with it! What would our apple pies taste like without it. It is a wonderful spice, worthy of the space in our cupboards. However, I propose that true cinnamon have an equal place.

Cinnamon of either kind is the bark of the tree. The bark is peeled off and dried, curling into what are known as quills or ground into powder. This is where the similarity ends. Cassia quills are very thick curls, strong and sometimes even hard to break. It has a stronger taste, warmer and more potent. There is some very good quality cassia to be found these days, such as Korintje AA. A lovely spice to perk up anything you commonly make with cinnamon here.

For my cooking classes I always take both types of cinnamon: a high quality cassia quill and ground Korintje AA cassia, alongside true cinnamon quills and ground cinnamon. True cinnamon quills are curled and layered together in a tight roll, are very thin and easily crushed. The flavor is lighter and more delicate, with a somewhat lemony quality. I set the quills side by side and demonstrate the differences, first breaking a cassia quill, with the ensuing loud snap when it breaks. Then I show the cinnamon quill, layered together, and how very easily it breaks and crumbles. With the ground version of each side by side, I ask the class members to smell the two; first the cassia that is the most familiar, and then the cinnamon. The startled reactions when they realize exactly how big a difference exists between these two spices, is quite rewarding.

I would liken this before the U.S woke up and smelled really good Arabica coffee. Once we found out about good coffee, the tide turned. I believe this country is in the process of bringing true cinnamon into the light. It is found in most any Mexican grocery section these days. Good quality spice shops carry excellent quality cinnamon and also excellent quality cassia. If you want to make any ethnic food from anywhere else in the world, or just become familiar with a new flavor go for true cinnamon. It?s worth the effort.

Thank you for taking the time to read my article. I hope it was informative and helped you along your own culinary journey. You will find many more recipes and helpful tips on my web site. I am on Facebook at A Harmony of Flavors and share a recipe or tip each day to the fans that have liked my site. I hope to see you there soon.

Ice cream is one of the worlds' favorite comfort foods. It just seems to make everything better, don't you agree?

There are even eccentric flavors such as squid, wasabi, chicken, and bacon!

Aside from portability and ease of use, the homemade stuff is healthier than most frozen desserts bought in the store.
