Can you tell me how thisis made?

Brillint

Terrific !

Does this contain lemon juice?

I love the onion idea, what kinds of salads do you make?

I have always wnted to know the rilght way tomake zaattar, thanks!

Yes...I use it in tahini and hoummus, I know it is good in falafal. But, other than that, how do you use this wonderful seasoning?

Is anyone familiar with the Borrelli whole tomatos? They are packed without salt or preservatives

you and slkinsey raise an interesting point: is it better to buy whole tomatos and then crush or dice them as required, or is it better to buy them crushed, etc? or do some of you think this really is a secondary issue?

Yes, it is true. If vine-rippened tomatos are not available, everyone says canned are good. But which brand do you like, and why?

WOW! This is amazing. I have a yixing pot, I love puerh tea and I practice a form of gong fu cha (tea). My only problem is that I am familiar with gong fu cha only through things I have read. Do you know how one might go about finding a gong fu tea teacher? ← why not contact guang at houdeasianart and ask? or brian wright at www.shanshuitea.com in washington,dc? i think in lower manhattan one of small teahouses has an instructor-not sure of the teahouse name there is also gong fu teacher at the mark hotel korean tea masters are similar-try www.hangawi.com ← Thanks a lot for those contacts.I sent off a few e-mails and am waiting for the replies. Now if only I could find a good Chinese Teahouse in the Great Lakes region .............

As mentioned earlier, I love a good pu-erh. But, it goes even better with a plate of dried turkish figs.

I agree: pu-erh is wonderful It would actually be my personal choice.

I have noticed that,if teas and sweets are to work well together, two things should be kept in mind. First, the tea must be really strong, unscented and black. Second, the sweet should be really, really, really sweet. Under these conditions, I find that chocolate and tea is a fine combination. But that is just me. I could be in the minority.

If you want real Chinese food, I cannot help. But, as far as I am concerned, the best, most unique Chinese-American food comes from the China Cafe in Novi, Michigan.

The best internet site I know is: imperialtea.com/

If you like real Italian food: the standard reference "The Silver Spoon" has now been published in an English edition.It's wonderful.

Every year the Chinese Resturant News publishes their list of the 100 best Chinese resturants in the U.S. They do have a nice website too.

Are you familiar with Detroit's Eastern Market?
