How to : Tea Smoking
Tea-smoking is an ancient Chinese technique you can use to flavour shrimp, salmon, duck and chicken on the bbq. I discovered this technique while reading the Fine Cooking 2010 Aug/Sept issue on the plane to BC this summer. When we got back I tried it and have experimented with lots of things on the grill using this method. I've attached a link http://www.finecooking.com/videos/how-to-make-tea-smoking-packets.aspx that shows you how to make a tea smoking packet for the BBQ. It's a great site for recipes and how to instructions. For the loose leaf tea you can buy it that way or just cut open a few tea bags. Have Fun.

This was published in the December 2010 issue of Science. It's interesting. :)
ReplyDeleteThought for Food: Imagined Consumption Reduces Actual Consumption
by Carey K. Morewedge, Young Eun Huh and Joachim Vosgerau
"Five experiments showed that people who repeatedly imagined eating a food (such as cheese) many times subsequently consumed less of the imagined food than did people who repeatedly imagined eating that food fewer times, imagined eating a different food (such as candy), or did not imagine eating a food. They did so because they desired to eat it less, not because they considered it less palatable. These results suggest that mental representation alone can engender habituation to a stimulus."
