Comment on Gyokuro, a Perfect Winter Tea by Glass Tea Kettle

Glass Tea Kettle — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 12:59:41 +0000

Hi Admin,

I quite agree with you as a professional tea taster and seasonal food lover, “I drink green tea during its fresh harvest season. Most green teas have a short shelf life, and after December of each year they start to show their age quite dramatically.”

Drinking tea is hygienic and good for the body.

Nice article.

Love the instructions! I’ve been trying to find a good recipe for juicer pulp, but instructions everywhere else are unclear and usually without pictures (which I love in any kind of instructional piece). This is perfect. I can’t wait to try this! Thanks!

You make the comment that “local is best,” but do not mention that there are plenty of local breweries making fruit beers and lambics. Where I live, New Glarus fruit beers are the standard and their raspberry is even better than Lindemans Framboise.

Please I need a cookbook for the Breville XL800 smart oven. I don`t make fancy meals like you have in the product manual. I would just like to cook
vegetables, baked or french fried potatoes, fish, etc. We bought the oven,
now we need the cookbook on how long to cook these things and the best
way. Please let me know when you have one available to purchase.
Thank you!

I am looking for more recipes for my recently acquired Smart Oven. I am quite a good cook but I am having some difficulty converting cooking times etc. of my fav recipes. This oven was a birthday gift from my daughter so I really must acquire some skill in usiing it. I am an 80 year old senior and this conversion does not come very easily for me!

ALSO, CAN I USE IRON SKILLETS AND MUFFIN CUPS IN THIS OVEN?

Thanks so much for your help.

Comment on Make the Utmost of Oranges by Jim

Jim — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 22:35:07 +0000

I cut the rind off my oranges and use a juicer to juice the fruit and pith. Lately, I’ve been using a Green Star to do it but I have used a Breville JE95xl and Omega 8003 to do it too. I think the orange juice is much creamier.

I also use the rind and pulp in making chocolate chip cookies. The combination of using chocolate and orange together really works well. And the rind is especially powerful in its taste when used to augment the chocolate.

I’m not much of a pudding guy but I think I will use my left-over orange rind in a chocolate brownie for my next experiment.

Thanks for the post. I like your pictures too. Really good.

Comment on Hot Gingered Prawns by patty aulett

patty aulett — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 00:38:01 +0000

I love my indoor grill. I used it tonight after work to make paninis for my husband and I. Sourdough bread, southwestern chicken breasts sliced diagonally, smoked gouda cheese, roasted red peppers, fresh spinach and chipotle mayo. We use it at least once a week for breakfast, lunch or dinner, sometimes two or three times. We usually grill outside all year round, but we had so much snow last winter that we really put it to the test. We would look at the snow and walk over and turn on the indoor grill. I was so happy I read the reviews on indoor grills before I asked for it from Santa. I absolutely love it. I do wish the grill plates came off and went into the dishwasher, but they are really easy to clean, so I’m not complaining. I was wondering if the soy mixture for the gingered prawns would burn onto it or if it would wipe right up like cheese does.

I am anxious to get your smart oven, most of the reviews are great, but there are some people who said it did not work at all when they used it the first time. My husband’s job was abolished, so we are going to be tight until he finds something else. Hopefully by the time he’s back to work you will have worked out all of the kinks.

Comment on Tell 'Em It's 'Martian Juice' by Jen

Jen — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:43:30 +0000

Hi Bill. You’re right: Cranberry juice can be a hard sell with kids, but the ones I know tolerate it when it’s mixed with apple or white grape juice. Even if the cranberry-juice base is from a store, juicing apples and white grapes that may be a little too soft to eat will be great in their glasses. Another trick? Mix half juice and water. This monitors how much sugar you’re serving and helps make the juice a little easier going down.

I hope that helps! Thanks for reading.

Comment on Brewing a Tea Renaissance by Dianna Harbin

Dianna Harbin — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 09:36:17 +0000

Thanks for this articulate and useful article, Joshua. I have had discussions with others about whether or not tea can follow the same trajectory as wine and coffee. Your article will help in future debates. I especially like how you emphasize the importance of learning how tea tastes prepared in the traditional manner as a step in improving both (non-traditional) brewing techniques and enjoying the tea. And thanks to Rishi for bringing Sencha-do to the World Tea Expo.

Comment on Get a Wheatgrass Kick from Tropical Island Bliss by Barb Hall

is grown aerponically (without soil). Google bestorganicwheatgrass and see for yourself, and get a free sample

Comment on Franzbrötchen: German Pastry with a French Twist by Jon Davis

Jon Davis — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:55:12 +0000

I took these to a friends dinner party accompanied with fresh espresso for the evening’s dessert and they were a hit! A few guests even took a few home to go with their morning coffee the next day.
If I may put in my two cents on baking theses. You definitely need some counter space to make these. I found the best results you need to roll the dough out big (like the directions say 16×30!) and the butter to be nice and thin. I actually rolled the butter out and then placed it back in the fridge for a few minutes while I got the first roll out of the dough, then by the time I put the butter on and got ready to fold the dough it had warned up just right (soft but not melty) for folding. Also the tighter I got the final roll the better the final product came out.

Comment on Spice Up Your Snack Life with Fried Ripe Plantains by PaulC

PaulC — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 16:43:41 +0000

My kids love plantains and this recipe was no exception. I made the first half batch per the recipe and felt that it needed a bit more heat, so for the second half I added a couple of shakes from my cayenne pepper shaker to the coating mixture.

*I* thought that the cayenne pepper made the plantains PERFECT, but my kids thought that it was just over the top, but again they loved the base recipe.

Another fantastic article Joshua! Keep writing! I love this: “When can the rhythm of tea rise above the clashes of power, competition, profit, and corporate needs? When can it heal? The commodity of tea has been at the heart of war. But the essence of tea bestows peace and implores us to have mercy.” And I just LOVE that you are donating not 1, not 10 but 20% of each purchase of this tea to CARE. I mean, how generous and poetic is THAT? Good for you. And thanks for the thorough response to Susie’s question. That explains why the Iron Goddess of Mercy I’ve had in restaurants, made by other tea companies, tastes so completely different from the tea of the same name from Rishi. I love this article so much I want to post it on the wall in my workspace.

Comment on On Earthquakes and Mercy: The Enduring Oolong of Compassion by Rishi Tea

Rishi Tea — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:07:43 +0000

Thank you all for the kind comments!

Susie, to answer your question, the teas are very different. Mainly, the major difference between Anxi and Taiwan is cultivar and process. You could say that Taiwan has kept the old traditions while China advances the brand name and mass production marketing of Tae Guan Yin.

Tae Guan Yin originated in Anxi and the tea bushes there have a distinctive character different from those found in Taiwan. This factor coupled with the difference of soil and micro-climate make Anxi tea different from Taiwan’s. Furthermore, Tae Guan Yin lovers cherish Taiwan Tae Guan Yin due to some interesting issues:

Taiwan follows the old method of ripe fermentation and moderate roasting that originated in Anxi but is almost extinct in Anxi today. It is so hard to find old style, traditional Tae Guan Yin in Anxi these days as the local Chinese markets prefer the Qinxiang (clear green aroma type) that is withered indoors with air conditioners and very lightly fermented and gently dried. This tea is far removed from Tae Guan Yin’s traditional character and process and we love the old school Tae Guan Yin so we choose Taiwan as our favorite.

The first tea bushes introduced to Taiwan were Wu-Long (Qingxing) and Wu-Yi, both cultivators could be described as very old Sezhong, separate from Tae Guan Yin but still “Tae Guan Yin” was and is made from these cultivators in Taiwan. The most famous but also least cultivated heirloom Tae Guan Yin cultivar is Mu Zha’s Tae Guan Yin Hongxin Waiwei Tao. There is 100 x more of this sold than cultivated in Taiwan and many Mu Zha Town’s tea vendors go to Nantou to buy Tae Guan Yin made from Wu-Yi that they sell in Mu Tza as Tae Guan Yin.

I hope that helps!
Joshua

Those two steps will capture and convey essential information you have and the rest of the team doesn’t have.

Chili Verde in the slow Cooker

1 large pork Tenderloin (pepper crusted OK)
2 large jars green salsa
1 large can hominey
Handful of corn chips

Place handful of taco chips in bottom of slow cooker. Place pork tenderloin on top of chips. Pour the 2 jars of green salsa over top, then 1 1/2 jars of water. Stir.
Cook on low 6 hours or high for 3. Remove pork tenderloin to cutting board if not broken up in sauce, and chop. Put back in slow cooker and add the drained can of hominey. Heat for 1/2 hour longer. Chips will disintergrate and thicken sauce.

Comment on Delicious Dill in the Russian Aisle by Marina Novikova

Marina Novikova — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:35:06 +0000

Here is couple more dill recipes for you:

Baked Salmon in sour cream dill and garlic sauce (for 2):
1 salmon fillet
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tbsp of chopped dill
1 garlic clove minced
salt and pepper to taste

mix sour cream with minced garlic, dill, salt and pepper. Spread on salmon. Wrap salmon in foil and bake 350F for about 35 min.

Spring salad (for 2):
bunch of red radishes
1 cucumber (or 2 salad cucumber they taste better)
1 hard boiled egg
3 stems of scallions
3-4 tbsp of sour cream
2 tbsp of chopped dill
salt to taste
Cube radishes, cucumbers and egg. Chop scallions. Mix everything add sour cream and salt to taste.

Young potatoes with sour cream and dill.
Boil young potatoes, drain water. Add 3-4 tbsp of sour cream and chopped dill. Mix so sour cream and dills spread evenly on potatoes. Serve.
Makes an excellent side dish for steak.

In general dill has a very delicate flavor that won’t survive long cooking. We usually eat it freshly chopped.

Приятного аппетита!

I seriously LOVE Breville kitchen appliances. They are well made, and a worthy investment.
However please don’t think that you can “BBQ” in a slow cooker. You can make a lot of really fine products including simmered sauces that go on top of BBQ but its still not bbq.

Comment on Shredded Slow Cooker Chicken with BBQ Sauce by Celtic Wolf

Celtic Wolf — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:53:19 +0000

Low and Slow over coals, or as us Purist say it has one advantage the slow cooker doesn’t. During the cooking process on my cooker the fat and collagen is being rendered out and away from the food. Unless they added a drain feature to slow cookers I don’t know about all that fat and collagen is sitting in the bottom with the meat sitting in it.

Plus you are missing that one key component “SMOKE” . Your recipe sounds good, but I’ll stick to my more traditional methods.. Yes they can be healthy too..

Hi Patsy,
Great question.
When you’re dealing with raw vegetables and fruits, check out http://www.nutritiondata.com/. You can enter the vegetable or fruit in the top right search box like “carrot raw” and then select “vegetables and vegetable products” from the drop down menu. Then you select the type of carrot from the results. There are some other sites that do the same thing.

For additives like flax oil, consult the label.

This is good, if a touch long. It might do well without the references to Rishi winning an award. That plays a bit too “marketing-y” and less benefit-driven.

“While not taking anything away from the importance of the macaroni,” Maybe should read “Let’s not take”

The sentence “Pills — you can’t add to juice, powder — you can.” reads a little akward. How about.

Although you can’t add pills to juice, you can add powder.

oops, what was I thinking?
we do NOT need a thumb_home for video — we use the thumbnail from YouTube and place it in thumb_video.
I’ve made the thumb_article for pulling into BrevilleUSA.com. We need to make that thumb for all future videos and for all the videos already posted.

Comment on Latte Art 101 by Anita

Anita — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 10:32:49 +0000

we need to make a thumb_article (for BrevilleUSA.com when it pulls this video in) and a thumb_home (for FoodThinkers homepage) by selecting a screenshot of some frame in the video … I’ll do that.

Jim, fyi: Instead of selecting the category “Articles and Recipes” for a video, select “Audio and Video” so that it goes into the left-hand column on the homepage.

I changed this from a Juice It to an Add-It-In (category).

Note about recipe titles — the title should use Heading 2 style; Ingredients and Instructions (if used) should have Heading 4.

All images should be in place before going to readers — ideally, your Excerpt and SEO description & title would be written as well. Remember, the excerpt appears on the homepage — short and inviting. The SEO description appears in search results — use keywords and go for clarity: the essence of this article.

Jon has placed new pics on Flickr, close-ups of the buttons. We should use these.

The buttons are from the Variable Temperature Kettle BKE820XL, the larger image is of the new kettle not yet available and not yet built as a Magento page (must be the SK500XL). I think it’s confusing not to show the Variable Temp Kettle if we’re showing the close-ups.

Not bad. I think the last sentence in the intro needs to be rephrased o be more appetizing. You wrote…

“The soup may be tiresome, but, as always, it sure seems a waste to throw an entire turkey carcass away when there’s still all that goodness and marrow left in the bones.”

Carcass, goodness, bones, and marrow is a bit repulsive to me personally.

Brad, what do you think of repurposing this one to a Snack Secrets post (maybe remove the desert at the end? it doesn’t have a great image)

You can go with the tomatoes snack for another time then, eh? It’s not tomato season in the US or Canada, so that’s a better summertime snack imho. We could even drop it from Jon’s shoot if decided pronto. Or keep it for future use.

Toastie isn’t exactly a snack, but … I dunno. I want to use up our current drafts or delete them from WordPress.

Brett, the only reason the credit goes at the bottom is because it’s the most common blog practice. Caption is probably a better bet though. A fine way to differentiate creative commons from Breville-created imagery.

No, I love this sentence (and I agree American Idol is ubiquitous) … “This delicious Banana Phyllo can be ready to cap off your meal just as Ryan Seacrest is sending this week’s Idol loser home”

I think that this other sentence, from the excerpt, is generic and delete-able: “This delicious Banana Phyllo is a great way to cap off any meal.”

Josh, I moved the small image because it bumped badly into the sidebar.

NOTE: the automatic Flickr links all need to be hand-coded with target=”_blank” … unfortunately.

Also, I’m pretty sure you know now about using fractions from the Characters window, and this is one of those before-you-knew posts, yes? If no, ask me.

Thanks for the comments. Josh, I think American Idol spans all cultures so I’m not worried about Canada. I’ve placed images and noted the formatting. I’m using Viking because I don’t want to use oven twice in the same sentence. I’m not sure why you hav a problem with “This delicious Banana Phyllo can be ready to cap off your meal just as Ryan Seacrest is sending this week’s Idol loser home” so I left it. Ready for publishing.

Hi Jim, I’ve done one pass on the copyediting so there’s just a little left Monday morning after you incorporate feedback.
–Please compare the revisions I made to your version right beforehand — that way you’ll see the sorts of things that were changed. Some of them are the standard styles we’re using in recipes (e.g., ounce instead of oz.), and you’ll instantly see them.
–To get fractions, open the Characters window and select “Digits” and get fractions at the bottom. How to get Characters window: at Finder level, in the menu select Edit, then at the bottom “Special Characters…”
–THANKS for placing the thumbs.
–Now your JonDavis pics are ready to be placed.

One last bit of feedback. This sort of line indicates you’ve never tasted the dish: “This delicious Banana Phyllo is a great way to cap off any meal.” It’s so generic, I wonder if it should be deleted.

I like it.
The Idol reference needs to go for Canadian purposes. Also, I think the Viking should just be oven.

I think the ease of using pre-made phyllo is a real asset that should be played up more. “Oven fresh pastry without all the work” kind of vibe. With that in mind i would think about dropping the make your own phyllo bit. Just don’t think it fits the rest of the aim of the post.

Thats all I can see. I’m assuming the photos are forthcoming . . .

Josh, your feedback was needed right away. I needed to have this from Jim on Friday morning so I could copyedit it in time for sending to Brett, who sends it to Rob, etc etc.
Can you give your feedback over the weekend? Otherwise, it’ll have to go along without the benefit of your feedback.
Jim, aside from that, it looks like you’ve got nearly all the basics already covered in your post. The one piece that isn’t habit yet, and it’s pretty new to the process: edit the “Publish on” date to be the publish date (in this case, Nov 23).
Thanks everybody!

This had no excerpt or SEO. It wasn’t really ready for copyediting. I’m putting it back to Feedback Needed, just in case it missed that step, too. I’ll make a thumbnail for your article.

Thanks Brad. There seems to be a foramtting issue where the caption is. For the variations section, maybe we should link out to other gourmet sandwich recipes we find on the web instead. It will help drive home the “don’t over look the simple sandwich theme”
