How to Achieve Precise Temperature and Humidity Control – Cellar Conversion For Wine Storage

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:19:50 +0000

If you think wine making is hard, then you should know that organic wine making is much more difficult. A lot of major wineries will tell you that the growing of the grapes is an essential part in the wine making process. Since grapes are hard to maintain and grow, you would probably be tempted to use chemicals and other things that will make sure your plantation is free from pests, diseases and other problems. If you want to produce organic wine, however, you should ensure the fruits that you use are grown organically. This means that the plant was grown naturally and without using fungicides, hormones, artificial fertilizers, growth regulators, pesticides, and other synthetic chemicals.

The daylight issue is easy, cellars are often devoid of natural light any way and you can block up or put shutters over any windows that there might be (please note that if the cellar is to be classed as living accommodation in any way an escape window must be present in order to comply with building regulations).

Finding a quality beer making kit will help you address all of these questions. Plus by finding a brewing kit you aren’t stuck wondering if you’ve forgotten some special brewing equipment. The biggest names in home brewing kits have been around for many years and have made home brewers out of thousands of people.

These units are capable of controlling the temperature to within 3 degrees Celsius, which is the normal range for a good quality wine storage environment. Of course it makes sense to insulate the cellar as best you can in order to minimise the energy use of the temperature control unit. This can be done using traditional insulation methods and by using an insulated membrane for the waterproofing such as ThermalDry Wall Floor membrane.

Where the wine storage area is to be only part of a larger cellar you may not want to have the other parts at the same temperature as the wine area and you may also wish to have natural ventilation and daylight in the other areas. Indeed if the other areas are to be used as part of the living accommodation, there will be building regulations requiring you to have these features, which would clash with the requirements for wine storage. In such cases a ‘wine vault’ may be the answer. These are literally prefabricated airtight rooms (the size of a very large cupboard) , which can be assembled, down in the basement and include insulated wall panels and door with the heating and air-conditioning unit built in. They represent a very neat solution for the multi-purpose cellar conversion, where wine storage is only a part of the overall usage

Cheese Bean Chowder and Brat-Cheese Soup – Soup and Chowder to Make Quickly and Easily

admin — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:12:55 +0000

How to cook Chinese-Crab Soup

One of the easier ways to prepare a quick, nutritious, meal is to feature or start with soup. Here are a couple of soup recipes that are tasty, quick, and easy to prepare. The Flavorful Onion Soup is a perfect first course, goes great with a sandwich or can be served on its own with a plate of crusty breads, crackers, and/or cheese. The Vegetable-Cheese Soup can be prepared in a matter of minutes making it perfect for those very busy days.

CHEESE-BEAN CHOWDER

3 (15-oz each) cans navy beans*, drained
2 cups water
1 med onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 tsp instant beef bouillon granules
1/2 tsp dried basil, crushed
1 bay leaf
2 cups milk
1 jar (8-oz) pasteurized process cheese spread
minced fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the onion slices to the butter. Cover the saucepan and cook over low heat for 20 minutes or until the onion is lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Add water, bouillon granules, and Worcestershire sauce stirring well. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Serve hot with seasoned croutons and Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Put the tomato blend back into the pot. Add the ingredients in List 3 to the tomato blend. Stir to make it smooth and even. Turn heat on to bring it to a simmer.

In a second pan, make your white sauce from the ingredients in List 2. When it has thickened sufficiently, allow it to cool while waiting for the tomatoes to simmer.

When the tomato blend is simmering, add the white sauce mixture to the tomato blend. If you use real milk, you may want to add some of the tomato blend into the white sauce first to have less chance
of it curdling. If it does begin to curdle, use a wire whip to blend it quickly. You must stir constantly while adding the white sauce to avoid lumps.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the carrots and celery to the butter and cook until tender; add the onion flakes. Stir in the flour and pepper until blended. Add the milk, stirring while you pour it in. Add the bratwurst to the mixture. Cook and stir soup over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir another minute. Add the cheese to the mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted

To Your Health – Pu-erh Tea

admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:48:35 +0000

Brian Fraser- Cooking Tea

Ever since the Chinese emperor first decided that hot water infused with tea leaves was an excellent idea for refreshment, the benefits of green tea have spread beyond both refreshment and China. Thus the benefits of green tea are not only found in its use as a beverage, they are now much more important for maintaining good health.

Green tea is no different. It has been identified as safe within the scientist community and is the second drunk liquid is the world after water. It contains caffeine, only half the amount found in coffee and if drunk in moderation you shouldn’t have any problems.

I’ve researched the side effects of this drink and the following are the most common complaints. Please don’t let them put you off taking it because the side effects are all minor and pale in comparison to the benefits you’ll receive through regular consumption. If we decided only to eat things with no side effects at all we’d starve to death within a few weeks.

GT can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Other research also suggests that the benefits of green tea include some effects against cancer. These properties have given rise to the “Asian paradox” whereby in spite of heavy smoking, the populations of Asia and Japan do not seem to experience the same prevalence of negative consequences of smoking such as myocardial infarction, stroke, blocked arteries, angina, thrombosis and even sudden death. This is thought to be associated with the large quantities of GT that are consumed.

If drunk in moderation you shouldn’t have any problems with consumption and any green tea health benefits you receive far outweigh the side effects. As I wrote at the beginning of this article, side effects are normal in whatever we eat or drink too much of, no matter how good it is for you.

One can obtain their GT requirements from the beverage. This is fine but can be inconvenient.

One can also acquire the benefits of green tea from a nutritional supplement. This is an excellent option and also one that I follow. Ideally one should take a multi-ingredient supplement that contains other nutrients. The multiple ingredients would work synergistically together maximizing the beneficial effect.

So if you would like to know more about the benefits of green tea and especially about the multi-ingredient anti-aging supplement that contains green tea extract, then please visit my website today

Cheap Eats For the Chinese Food Lover – Los Angeles

admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:48:34 +0000

Three Restaurant Reviews

Los Angeles County is home to over 400,000 Chinese-Americans. Undoubtedly, it has one of the largest ethnic Chinese populations outside of China. Many are first generation immigrants from China or are children of immigrant Chinese parents. In areas with a high population density of ethnic Chinese, one can find many skilled chefs and restaurateurs working in and running restaurants that serve good, authentic Chinese food, just like how they are being served in China. The prices are usually very affordable too.

Most of these restaurants are located in five main areas: the official Chinatown in downtown Los Angeles, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, Alhambra and Rowland Heights. Except for Chinatown, all areas are in the San Gabriel Valley. All 5 areas are within the confines of Los Angeles County, California.

Pho & Grill prides itself on its consistently delicious Pho dishes served. The company now aims to widen its reach as the famous Vietnamese staple dish, Pho, becomes even more popular. As the Pho-nomenon reaches global heights, Pho & Grill simply has to follow suit. For this reason, the classic restaurant chain is now open for franchise. A franchise form is available on the Pho & Grill website for the convenience of interested parties. If you are looking for a promising business venture, join the Pho world as it rises to global popularity and make your contribution to the cause for healthy foods and living with a Pho & Grill franchise.

A Pho & Grill franchise won’t let you down, especially since the restaurant offers a menu full of delicious and appetizing food selections that will transport you to where the tastes of Vietnam blend free. The restaurant’s base offer is the Beef Soup Noodle or Pho Bo. Pho Bo is served with sweet basil, line, and your choice of fresh or steamed bean sprouts. You can also choose from the choicest ingredients to add to your noodle soup. The choices include Tai or medium rare eye round, Bo Vien or meatballs, a combination of both, and Tai/Nam/Gau/Gan/Sach or a combination of medium rare steak, flank, fatty flank, tendon, and tripe.

Shanghai Restaurant (San Gabriel)* – As the name of the restaurant indicates, this place serves Shanghainese cuisine, a type of Chinese cuisine that is fast gaining international recognition. The food is flavorful and rich. During lunch time, the restaurant offers an special value lunch menu with over 20 entree dishes from $5 – $8 each. If you like fish, the fried yellow croaker with seaweed is highly recommended. Visit with a group of friends and enjoy a scrumptious family style meal consisting of a variety of dishes.

The Pho & Grill menu also features grilled meats with rice or vermicelli dishes. The selection includes grilled lemon chicken, grilled lemongrass pork, grilled sesame beef, and grilled shrimp. To give you even more options, Pho & Grill also offers summer, spring, and grilled meat rolls. With Pho & Grill, customers can now enjoy their favorite Pho dishes with family members and friends who also want to have other options on the menu

Everyone Loves a Great Doughnut – Doughnuts Are the All Round Perfect Dish For Any Event

admin — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:38:05 +0000

Indian Cooking Recipe

Are you a fan of Japanese food? Have you been thinking of trying to cook Japanese food on your own, and yet have been hesitant? Japanese food is actually very simple and easy to prepare, as long as you have the right ingredients and equipment. There are many easy Japanese recipes available everywhere, and more and more have tried successfully to create their own Japanese dishes at home.

Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme doughnuts are made from a carefully guarded, secret recipedating back to 1937. Krispy Kreme doughnuts do not contain alcohol products manufactured to be consumed as a beverage, such as liquors, wine or beer. Krispy Kreme is a chain of doughnut stores and doughnuts can also be found in some larger Wal-Mart and Target stores in the United States; Loblaws supermarkets and Petro-Canada gas stations in Canada; and most Tesco supermarkets and Tesco Extra hypermarkets in the United Kingdom. Krispy Kreme benefited from a regulatory loophole in its subsequent advertising campaign, touting its doughnuts as “trans fat free” and having “0 grams trans fat. Krispy Kreme began another phase of rapid expansion in the 1990s, opening stores outside the southeastern United States where most of their stores were located. Krispy Kreme Hong Kong opened its first store in September 2006, and had 6 stores at its peak. Krispy Kreme fundraising has been helping schools, youth sports groups, and churches raise money since 1937. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are a great fundraiser. Krispy Kreme is distinguished by having neon signs, known as “hot lights”, to inform customers when hot doughnuts are ready. Krispy Kreme is the latest company to announce plans for a low-carb product.

Ingredients

Ingredients vary depending on whether they are yeast or chemically leavened. Ingredients can include cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, oil, coconut and honey plus many many more. Ingredients are whisked together in a large stainless steel bowl, and the batter is poured a little at a time into an industrial “doughnut robot,” which spits out perfectly formed “O’s” into a shallow reservoir of hot oil. Yeast-leavened doughnuts are made with ingredients that include flour, shortening, milk, sugar, salt, water, yeast, eggs or egg whites, and flavorings. Mixes require the bakeries to add fresh wet ingredients such as water, milk, and eggs in the mixing process. Acquiring the ingredients bakeries or franchises that do a brisk business (making hundreds of dozens in a day) acquire mixes in bags, often as large as 50 lbs. Chains have the ingredients shipped to them from company warehouses within the region and the mixes are stored on the premises and used as needed. After mixing and kneading the flour mixture is then poured into a large mixing bowl put onto an industrial mixer and the appropriate amount of wet ingredients are added depending on weight of the batch and type of doughnut in production. The dough mixer then begins its work; a large dough hook first mixes and then simulates the human kneading process, pulling and stretching, as it homogenizes the ingredients and develops the dough by forming the gluten into elongated and interlace fibers that form the basic structure of the doughnut. Dough is then hoisted by hand and loaded into the hopper of a machine called an extruder-a machine that forms the individual doughnuts using a pressure-cutter. Temperatures for proofing, baking, and frying machinery, liquid ingredients, and the production room are carefully monitored and maintained. Consider this, Krispy Kreme doughnuts are made with ingredients which have similar attributes as those used to make bread. The ingredients are all staples in the fridge and it takes very little time to make.

Here is a perfect tested copycat recipe for Krispy Kreme orginal glazed doughnuts:

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, raspberry jam, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper.

Cook over high heat until sauce comes to a rapid boil. Reduce temperature to low heat and allow to simmer until steak sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool. This sauce is great for basting over your steaks while grilling or baking.

To use raspberry steak sauce marinade, pour over steaks, cover, and set into the refrigerator for approximately 2 hours.

Remove from refrigerator and place steaks immediately onto medium heat grill and cook until desired doneness is achieved. Serve steak garnish with parsley and drizzled with remaining raspberry steak sauce.

The next recipe is a quick 15 minute marinade recipe that is made of things you may already have around your home.

Orange Dream Steak with Marinade

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of grated orange zest
¼ cup of steak sauce
¼ teaspoon of salt
Vegetable oil spray
1/8 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
4 medium top sirloin steaks trimmed

Directions:

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a 2 1/2-quart bowl. Add milk, salt, sugar eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour. Beat on low speed scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Cover and let rise in warm place, until double, 50 to 60 minutes. (Dough is ready when indentation remains when touched.) Turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2-inch thick with floured rolling pin. Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Cover and let rise until double, 30 to 40 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in deep fryer to 350F. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to the surface. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surface); drain. Dip the doughnuts into Creamy Glaze set on rack; when slightly cooled spread Chocolate Glaze on top. Doughnuts may be dipped into sprinkles or other toppings after Chocolate Glaze is applied if desired. Heat butter until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency. Heat butter and chocolate over low heat until chocolate is melted; remove from heat. Stir in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until of desired consistency.

With this, you can make any kind of sushi that you want, by putting in whatever ingredient you want inside the sushi. Notice that the only equipment you needed for this was a bamboo rolling mat, so it is best to get one for yourself. Sushi is an easy Japanese recipe that is sure to be a hit with family and friends

Make This Old Fashion Chili Lasagna – How to Make a Really Different Pasta Dish

admin — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 23:36:36 +0000

How to Cook Pasta

I got this recipe many years ago from a Home Economics teacher. It is an excellent dish for those who like things spicy. For the uninitiated, use less chili powder. This is a good dish for pitch-in meals, potlucks, church socials, etc. as it feeds several. It is also just a good family dish. It makes a great meal when you add a salad. For dessert serve something light and cool like the Pineapple Mallow recipe below.

I usually make spaghetti sauce from scratch, but when I’m pressed for time, I buy the healthiest kind I can find. I look for the sauce with the least amount of salt and high fructose corn syrup. My family likes sauce with the meat incorporated into it. Every so often, however, I make meat balls. We like small ones, not the huge kind that contain too much bread and hit your stomach like a rock.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Saute beef, bell pepper, and onion in a skillet for 10 minutes or until the beef is browned and the veggies are crisp tender. Drain. Return mixture to the pan and add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and set aside. In a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, arrange a layer of lasagna noodles. Put a layer of the meat mixture then a layer of cheese over the noodles. Repeat the layers, ending with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until heated through and bubbly.

Directions:

1. Boil the noodles in salt water until done.

2. Drain the noodles then run hot water over them and drain well again.

3. Melt butter or margarine in flat casserole dish. I prefer much more butter than I have indicated above, so play with it. You might like it real buttery, too.

4. Put all of the noodles in a bowl and add half of the melted butter or margarine.

5. Beat the egg and pour mixture over the noodles, stirring well.

6. Add sugar and raisins to taste, and if you like, add some chopped apples.

7. Stir well, taste again and adjust the taste to your liking if you need to.

8. Pour the mixture into a flat casserole dish you have lightly greased with oil or butter.

9. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 / 2 hour until golden and crusty. If it isn’t crusty enough, put it back into the oven a while longer and check regularly until the crust is the way you like it.

To Freeze: Prepare pan by lining with aluminum foil. Then proceed as above. When thoroughly chilled, wrap pan completely in foil, seal and freeze.

To Prepare Frozen Dessert for Eating: Remove outer wrapping of foil. Let stand 1 1/2 hours in refrigerator before serving.

Enjoy

How It’s Done – The Oil Drum Pig Roaster

admin — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:10:57 +0000

Chinese Cooking Tips

The oil drum pig roaster is becoming more and more popular as people look to make the most of the summer sunshine in their back garden. The pig roaster is a great way of spicing up the entire BBQ experience and even better when you’re planning a party.

What has made the pig roaster such a hit is its slightly unusual quirky appearance. As well as feeding a bunch of people it’s a feature that offers a little interest to the surroundings. So if you’re keen to get yourself a pig roaster, maybe for an upcoming home party or maybe just to try it out with the family, what are your options?

There are several options, the first one is buying your own pig roaster. If you’ve tried a pig roaster before and think you’ll be using one a lot, well then buying one is probably a good option. It’s pretty easy to work out if it makes sense for you, just weigh up the cost of renting one however many times you intend using one versus the cost of buying one. Pig roasters are a little more expensive than a medium to high-end BBQ and a little harder to find.

Cassata alla Siciliana (Sicilian Cassata) is a cake, not to be confused with an ice-cream treat of the same name. It starts with a sponge cake and has lots and lots of ingredients including chocolate, chestnut flour, and ricotta cheese. After it’s baked you add apricot jelly, candied fruit, and more. Recommended wine pairings include the Sicilian Malvasia delle Lipari DOC which may be made in the Passito style, the Sicilian Moscato di Siracusa DOC, or the Moscato di Trani DOC from Apulia. You may have trouble finding these wines and substitute a sweet Italian Moscato.

Cotognata (Quince Preserve) is a traditional Sicilian dessert, often made in the shape of a leaf or a fish. Don’t forget to add lemon and sugar. Recommended wine pairings include Moscato di Pantelleria DOC, Moscato di Siracusa DOC, and Moscato di Trani DOC.

The principle here is pretty simple. The Drum is cut in half and mounted onto a steel frame. The fire is set in the bottom half of the drum, with the upper half acting as a hood, to protect from the inevitable rain shower. The pig is mounted on a rotisserie which is just a steel rod than spans across the centre of the drum, over the fire.

Getting this right is all in the design and pre-planning. At the same time it’s important not to get too hung up on the details, you’ll be most likely working with old scrap materials, so inch perfect dimensioning isn’t too important, you just have to make sure you understand broadly what your doing before you start cutting, then just get stuck in
