What to look for when Using Sushi Knives

What to look for when using sushi knives

When it comes to using sushi knives, there is absolutely no

 rocket science involved. Just a few basic tips that have to 

be kept in mind while making the right choice warrant a bit of logic. They may be summed up as follows:

My Festive Viand for Breakfast

It's been a wile that I have not eaten fried tilapia, today I'm really craving for it, so I went to the market and bought some really fresh Tilapia. After cooking I paired it with salted egg and tomatoes. Fantastic!

Baking Soda Solution

Some few weeks ago I posted about REDUCED BAKING SODA as a replacement for lye water or lihiya in making kutsinta by baking the baking soda with correct procedure, but not all have oven to do it and they send me emails if there is another solution, so I started to think about it and came up with this.

My favorite thing to do in the morning

This is my favorite thing to do in the morning dip the bread in a coffee ( sawsaw tinapay sa kape) does it sound weird? For Filipinos it is not.

Strawberry Flower

I have some strawberries given by my friend, just being creative today :D Actually I've got the idea from the picture that I saw few years ago, then I remembered it while eating my strawberries now. This is not perfect but I just want to share. Happy weekend everyone.

Sari-saring Pagkaing Pinoy na Madalas Makita sa Almusal

I just want to share some pictures of common Filipino breakfast specially to my friends from other countries.

Radish Flower ( Food Decoration)

Do you want to learn this simple food decoration? It is made from thinly sliced radish.
Here is how to do it.
1. We need 1 piece regular size radish, then thinly slice it.

2. Make a slit in each slice so that we can bend it easily.

3. Then get a toothpick and put each bended sliced radish like the picture below.

4. Put it alternately until you formed a lovely flower.

Food decoration 2

I am not good at this, but I just wanna share, so that you can get an idea for your gatherings just in case you want to have a little decoration for your food presentation. This apple swan will add attraction to your food. Here is how to do it.
First we need an apple.

Then cut a small portion to make it steady when we put it.

then cut 2 equal parts on both side living a space on top center side, as shown in the photo below

From the left side that we cut, we will cut 3 intersections from it, from small, smaller and smallest intersections, this will serve as a wing

Do the same at  the right side

then from the small part that we cut from the very beginning , form the neck and head part of the swan.

it will be like this or better:-)

then, we will push the left and right side to form as a wing and put the head using a toothpick, cut a little portion from the seed and use it as an eye for the head , here is our swan now, ready to add life to your food presentation.

You can now decorate your plates of food with this cute swan :-)

I hope you like it even if my creation is not perfect, at least you can get idea from it. :-)

I love you

The message in the picture was made with gummy candies. I was surprised when I recieved this from a friend (if that friend is a woman or a man, I wont tell hahahhahahahaha). But I appreciate the message and it is very lovely, since it is food, I want to share it to all of you.
Bottom line is .... we can be creative with the foods we eat.

Food decoration 3

Last time, I posted about how to make a flower from a carrot and cucumber ruban slices, now I am going to share how to make a rose from tomato skin. Yes! From tomato skin! It is very easy but unique.
First we need a tomato

Food decoration 1

A little decoration in your food will add attractiveness to the dish, so I will be sharing this simple flowers made from carrot and cucumber. I hope you will like this one. :)

By using a peeler, make a nice ruban slices from carrot and cucumber.

This is a ruban kind of slice

http://melyskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/10/different-cuts-of-meat-and-vegetables.html
To form it into a flower , we need to twist it one by one like this,

Then we need a toothpick to  arrange this together like this,

put a base for the toothpick to stand, then arrange four twisted ruban carrots to form a flower like this

the same process with the cucumber

That's all, have fun :)
