This is a very simple and fast to prepare food that originated from the sixties. The ingredients are one head of iceberg lettuce, blue cheese dressing, a minced tomato, two chopped green onions, half cup of crumbled blue cheese, one cup of crumbled cooked bacon. To prepare, just turned each wedge of the lettuce on its side, then pour the blue cheese dressing on top. Toppings with green onions, tomatoes, crumbled bacon and crumbled blue cheese and viola! enjoy.

Whether you like to use it for your coffee, or your herbal tea, this special siphon is great even for broths! The making of coffee using the coffee siphon is with vacuum and vapor pressure. It is really amazing to produce the best rich and fragrant brew with this process. Irregardless if it is herbal teas or broths, it works perfectly to give the best quality eventually. It was no wonder why it was also been used by world renown American Chef Richard Rosendale (Certified Master Chef) at the international cooking competition, the Bocuse d'Or in France.
Some people might have wonder how siphons work to produce this great clear brew. It is the pushing action and the changing pressure in the vessels. In details, this product consist of the Yama 3 Cup Tabletop Vac Pot Siphon. You will find an alcohol burner that is used to boil the water. It also acts as a warmer and to activate the brewing itself. Besides its ability to infuse liquids, is also functions well like a visual treat to your guests.

The preparation is simply steaming the mixture of rice flour and water. This slightly viscous mixture when steamed in small cup-shaped containers gives its shape, and of course the softness texture is important. The toppings is truly the secret to a good tasty Chwee Kueh. Diced preserved radish and a good wallop of the right chilli sauce is the essence :)

A stylish way to present cheese as part of entertaining your guests is owning a set of cheese knives set with the cutting board. Ever wonder how those holes in soft cheese knife helps when cutting them? Basically it stops the soft cheese to adhere to the blade as you slide the knife through them. It has a special tip to help you serve out the cut pieces on the board. Cheese knife from Scanpan brand is so confident that their products are so awesome that it comes with a ten year warranty. Nothing beats this hi-function, durable and high quality set of product which you get uncompromised high-grade German stainless steel knifes.
The products are individually Rockwell hardness tested. They make sure each and every knife adhere to strict standards which had been accurately tempered to and ideal hardness. The handle is ergonomically designed with a rubberised handle that ensure a secure grip and most of all with a trilobal design. I really find knifes with sharp tapered cutting edges important and making a great difference for classic usage. One thing for sure is the cutting of onions requires a sharp knife. In salads, the cutting of tomato also requires a good sharp knife. Fortunately, this Scanpan set comes with a 14cm cheese or tomato knife, one other 14cm soft cheese knife and a 40cm European Beechwood Cheese Board that you can use to serve directly. You can be guaranteed that these hot-drop forged blades will serve you well for a long long time. It is enough to just hand-wash it over running water despite it is dish-washer safe.
