Unfortunately, the duo never saw any action as I didn’t get round to making tofu. Now that we’ve moved across the country and most of our belongings—and 95 percent of my kitchen equipment!—are in storage, I found myself aching to make tofu. So on a cool, fallish Thursday morning with “Putting on the Ritz” blasting away (I just rediscovered my 80’s collection on the computer!), I set about making tofu for the first time, no nigari, no tofu press. First things first, I surveyed my ingredients and my equipment. I decided I didn’t want to make soymilk from scratch (read: my food processor is in storage). Part of my tofu-making arsenal Nigari (a natural coagulant of magnesium chloride made by evaporating seawater) is the coagulant of choice in Japan, while the Chinese prefer gypsum (calcium sulfate). I made similar holes in all 4 corners of the tofu container for my makeshift tofu press
Food Friday: Granadilla! | a year without peanut butter I’d been saving this one until all of my visitors from home had come and gone, because I didn’t want to ruin the utterly unique experience of meeting (and eating) a granadilla. Now that I’m here all by my lonesome, I can finally enlighten the rest of the non-Colombia-visiting world about the very weird joys of the granadilla. See? They look perfectly normal like this! I’ve waxed poetic before about the plethora of amazing fruits that Colombia has to offer — the granadilla is one of these exotic delights (well, they’re not exotic here. As soon as you pop your thumb through the skin of the granadilla, you notice something peculiar about it: the peel gives way in tectonic plates of chunks, like Styrofoam. AHHH! The inside of a granadilla — the part you eat– is a slimy, dark cluster of seeds surrounded by clear goo that bears a strong resemblance to frog eyes, or what I imagine alien eggs look like. People sometimes talk about things being “an acquired taste.” Like this: Like Loading...
How to make tofu (Milking the Soy Bean, Part 2) In Part 1, I showed you how to make your own pure, unadulterated soy milk. Now let's turn this into tofu（豆腐). Tofu is soy milk that has been coagulated with the addition of a harmless chemical. (Incidentally the kanji characters for tofu literally mean fermented beans, but tofu is not fermented in any way - at least as it's made currently.) As I've mentioned before, I turn most of the soy milk I make into tofu, because while I like soy milk well enough, I just love good, fresh, creamy tofu. A word of warning before you proceed. The equipment and ingredients In addition to the equipment you need for making the soy milk, you will need the following for creating tofu: 1. Here's where it starts to get scientific! Recently nigari has been touted as a health and weight loss supplement (don't ask me why, or whether the claims made are true). Nigari is available either in concentrated liquid form, or more commonly in powdered or flaked form. 2. 3. This is to line your mold with. 4.

Best weekend restaurant in Singapore, Spruce | Accidental Epicurean We really liked out dinner at Spruce. So we were excited to see they offer brunch… and not just your normal “let’s try and do a brunch to drum up sales/get rid of old product” brunch. The menu at Spruce looked to be a proper, well-thought out brunch. All the favorites, with a slight twist… just like the great dinner entrees we’d already had. As soon as we could line up all the brunch crew, we were off to see if it lived up to our expectations. Normally I slowly go through the meal and build up to the main point. The food, service, and general concept are all there. So that’s the only issue I have here. Back to the food. Famous Spruce Burger for Breakfast Spruce Breakfast Sandwich with roast potatoes The Steak and Eggs Benny on Toasted Ciabatta with Black Pepper Hollandaise Soft Scrambled Eggs with Basil Cured Salmon and Avruga Caviar The Spruce Garden Brekkie And you’ve got to try some of the breakfast pastries and cakes.

Joel Salatin: How to Prepare for A Future Increasingly Defined By Localized Food & Energy Podcast by Adam Taggart Monday, August 29, 2011, 3:43 PM Joel Salatin, proprietor of Polyface Farms and highly-visible champion of sustainable farming, thinks modern humans have become so far removed from a natural connection to the food they eat that we no longer have a true understanding of what "normal" food is. The rise of Big Ag and factory farming over the past century has conditioned us to treat food mechanically (as something to be recoded and retooled) vs. biologically. And we don't realize that for all our industrialization and optimization, we're actually getting less yield and less nutrition than natural-based processes can offer. Whether we like it or not, the arrival of Peak Oil is going to force us to realize that our heavily-energy intensive practices can't continue at their current scale. "What we view today as "normal," I argue, is simply not normal. Click the play button below to listen to Chris' interview with Joel Salatin (runtime 44m:15s):
