The Sound of Taste

This week we had an interesting look at how the world of sound can affect the way different people perceive certain foods.

Food Storage

Storing food correctly seems like a very basic task but it is in fact one of those things that if you learn a few basic tricks lots of your ingredients will stay fresher and last longer.

This week we decided to tackle the issue of food waste with a simple guide that offers up 25 different tips on how to keep everything from oily fish to garlic fresh for much longer than you’re used to.

Chinese Tea in Cuisine

This week we also looked at the use of tea in Chinese cuisine ^[1]with a unique trip to Le Passage Mohkan Shan, in China Zhejiang Province, a family-run former tea plantation in a hill station about two hours from Shanghai.

Now home to a luxury hotel, we met with the family behind the project and heard about how the restaurant on site is now making use of tea in a number of their dishes.
