I cannot pretend to be an expert on black tea or even tea
but always get leaf tea (never sachet) and organic if I can find. For Lapsang Souchong tea, I order from Solstice Tea Traders traditionally smoked (? again not an expert) but I do like it 
Apparently ( according to the package) smoked dry on pinewood fire, favorite tea of Sherlock Holmes... or may be rather the author Arthur Conan Doyle ... -
I agree about organic or not, for the yeast, for my bread, I like this Red Star yeast. However, I prefer to use organic flour

Worked at a patisserie for quite sometime and one of the things I learned and enjoyed is a good chocolate sprayer you can create magic with fruits, ice cream, cookies, etc.
Now I have one of the best Krebs Lm3 Hotchoc Heated Chocolate Spray Gun and let me tell you 
kids of the neighborhood love it Just a fruit, cherry, apple, grape, you name it, becomes a candy 
and ! a good healthy candy with dark chocolate which is high in anti-oxidants -
Yep ! also use bleach: Clorox Clean-Up Cleaner Spray with Bleach apparently "kills 99.9% of household bacteria in 30 sec. and kills also virus"
and removes stains and grease that I can confirm -

I've bought from Bernal Cutlery in SF and Japanese Knife Imports in Beverly Hills. Both are great but I am looking for something new. I like hand forged, high quality knives. My most recent was a Fujiwara 210 white #1 which has changed my kitchen forever - such an amazing knife. But I'm on the hunt again...suggestions?
I'have a Yoshihiro Mizu Yaki
very high quality, got it from a Japanese chef, friend of mine. Best

Microwave 1min. every week or so, that's what I read, and seems to work well.

Have been using a set of Pyrex Corning Visions glass cookware; safe to cook acid-based food, made of glass-ceramic, dish washer safe, and pretty durable
and easy to clean

Me too, not too impressed by Costco wrap (although, find their big aluminium roll a good deal), and yes, also vote for theReynolds 916 2000' Length x 24" Width, PVC Foodservice Wrap Film, prefer a good width. For sure, good quality

Have you considered growing your garlic, for now, I'm doing it now in pot on a balcony. Easy, buy one bulb, divide all cloves and plant them half-finger deep, water not too much. Of course doing it in a garden with several bulbs, you get lots of organic garlic for very cheap.

True ! This is another option to get restored cast iron pans
just wondering how to make sure this is (certified/recognized/... ? ) good quality
-
Unfortunately, no garden for now
So, get bay leaves on-line in bulk and organic. Actually, for cooking this is very convenient, price is good, quality good, get another 1 pound bag whenever I need it. So, I am very satisfied -
I have this Cast Iron Skillet (12.5 inch) by Utopia Kitchen pre-seasoned, good quality and good reviews
and also nutritional source of iron

nice looking knife
but you got it from Amazon , USA so there were no after costs for duty ?
it was no doubt built in.
So, here is the catch, you have to be careful with the credit card you use for the order in a currency other than the dollar, and from a foreign country. Most on-line purchase with credit card (Visa and Mastercard) will add a fee. As far as I know, the only credit card that is not adding a fee is Capital One. Any other credit card company with no currency conversion ? Please feedback welcome . And another question on that subject, when travelling, which bank is the best? Thanks

For a "quality" kitchen faucet, here is aDelta Faucet 9159-CZ-DST Trinsic Single Handle Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet with Magnetic Docking...must be beautiful... Can't afford that, but anyway, just wondering, for that price, water filter...

I do not know about Wantanabe, but about a traditional knife made in Japan, got really interested in Sashimi sushi a while ago, and wanted to follow the tradition, so got one of the best: Sashimi Sushi Knife 30cm with Wodden Sheath wodden sheath, quality Yasuki. Got the recommendation from a Japanese friend.

Have you checked Lorenzo? Just called a friend of mine, she has this 8 settings set porcelain
I like this simple design, called Verona (?) , and it is dishwasher safe

Euro-Cuisine GY50 Greek Yogurt Maker ... but while I dithered over whether it was too much a single-use item it vanished from Amazon's shelves. It's now only available through a third-party seller - and at (to me) mystifyingly high prices.
Recommendations, anyone?
Decided to get the Euro Cuisine Greek Yogurt Maker but with the stainless steel strainer, good reviews, quality seems good as well.

An interesting device, soon to hit the US market...
Found this very interesting, as a geek and good-food lover
My question (as a geek) is about IOT (:Internet Of thinks), meaning to share data/info ? Especially about recommendations / advices about products from and shared among customers

Wow ! (again
) Walmart and Kroger #1 and 3 ! This is interesting. I suppose the organic produce market is becoming very competitive !

Interesting post, Just saw the wall-mounted drying rack for the sausages ! Cool !
So, looked at the Ikea site and then found a (what i think is also a quality 'food' rack) for pasta and sausages sturdy and stainless-steel wall mounted rack . So, still thinking about which one
Being more expensive. But , then was just wondering about amazon in Japan ? can you order over there ? i know for a fact that in europe it's no problem, but Japan? just asking the question
Kitchenaid Stand Mixers
in Kitchen Consumer
Posted
I would also recommend a KitchenAid but the KSM150PSER Artisan with the tilt-head stand, not the one with the fixed head stand, I found this feature very useful. It is rather big and heavy but very reliable and powerful, 5 Qt., use it a lot to make bread, lots of attachments, over 7,000 excellent customer reviews, I think the price is right
and I prefer the stainless steel bowl instead of a plastic container
