If you are intending to sell your home, you want to make certain that it looks great. It is a room that really showcases what you are as a person and it is a room that is always busy.

When you have made it to the stage where you feel a new kitchen is a priority you will know that there is plenty of planning to do first and in this article we will look at what you need to consider before work commences.

The very first thing to think about is what type of kitchen you desire based on your budget. If you love cooking a great deal, then this needs to have an impact on what features you want to have. If you look at your kitchen as a get together hub for your family and friends, then you need to make the social space bigger. It is vital that you plan the kitchen based on how you and your family regularly use it.

Deciding what worktops and units you want to have within your kitchen is another key decision you have to make. The things you must decide include what colors or types of material you want and how much space you need for your cooking area and cupboard.

Rainbow Cookies Are Neither Cookies Nor Cake

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Rainbow cookies: also known as Napoleon cookies, seven layer cookies, venetian cookies, seven layer cake, Italian flag cookies, and tricolor cookies. Whatever you call them, all that matters is that you know how incredibly amazing they are. Like the title says, rainbow belong in dessert limbo. They straddle the line of cookie and cake. They have the consistency of cake and are baked the same way you would make a cake. And if you opt not to cut them up into little squares, voila! You have a rainbow cake.

In order to bake them, you need three pans of sponge cake which will be each of the layers. Pink, yellow, and green are added to each pan to create a layer. The cakes are baked and then brushed with jam and stacked. After sitting overnight, melted chocolate coats the top and bottom and allowed to cool. Most will cut them into pieces to create cookies, but if you want sweetness overload, leave it as a cake and cut a big ol’ slice.

Now the real question is, what kind of jam do you use? Apricot or raspberry. Some will argue that one is better than the other or that “real” rainbow cookies contain this jam or that jam. My opinion? Both are great done right, but I lean slightly towards the raspberry side -mainly because I love raspberry in general. When raspberry and chocolate join forces, my taste buds explode. It is the greatest combination with chocolate, ever. Can’t decide? Some varieties actually contain a layer of each jam. Best of both worlds for some!

Because rainbow cookies are the greatest cookie known to man, they are expensive. Like really expensive. I’m no baker, but the high price is most likely a result of the time and effort needed to make them. You need to mix enough batter for three cakes, plus they are usually cooled overnight. I never baked them myself, but my cousins have informed me that they’re a giant pain to make. But the results are oh so delicious! Like any great meal, the ones that take the most time and effort are not only rewarding, they usually taste better.

It has always been my dream to have rainbow cookies as my wedding cake. Sadly, the cost alone is enough to put me under. Instead, I’ll continue to imagine in my mind what a four-tier rainbow cake would look and taste like. I assume that’s what heaven is like. Rainbow cookies continue to be a favorite among many dessert lovers. And they continue to be up for debate on the cookie/cake realm. Who cares? They’re delicious and in the end, that’s all that matters.

Why Is Jamaican Cofee In High Demand?

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

By David G.

Jamaican coffee beans are in such demand is because it’s extraordinary qualities come from being only grown in the plentiful well drained soils of the Jamaican mountains between 4400 and 6900 feet. The production is regulated by Jamaica’s coffee Industry regulation Act to ensure the highest quality standards. The natural habitat of this area produces some of the highest quality coffee berries in the world, and when the berries are sbujected to a six week aging process it produces a gourmet coffee that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.

The grading classifications are determined by the defects, appearance and screen size. The rigid standards of the Coffee Industry Board require that only 2% of the coffee beans are permitted to have the slightest defects and the other 98% must pass the screening size.

Once the beans are released for sale on the open market they are assured to be some of the top gourmet coffee beans found anywhere. The combination of quality and uniqueness results in a smooth, mild tasting cup of coffee that provides a satisfying drinking experience for consumers around the world.

Coffee connoisseurs around the world are very familiar with the superior quality and rewarding taste of authorized Jamaican coffee, but what many may not know is why this type of coffee is in such demand and why it can be so expensive compared to other coffees on the world market.

The Process

After the Jamaican coffee beans are harvested by the local farmers is it purchased by the government’s coffee Industry Board where it undergoes numerous tests and processes to sustain the products reputation of world class quality. To avoid over fermented, insect infestation, green or other low quality cherries they are placed into a large holding tank and inspected. Once the first batch is praised they are then washed to get rid of the mucilage, the sugary layer on the outside of the bean. When this process is complete the bean remaining is commonly called the wet parchment.

In order to start the drying process the wet parchment is then spread out across slabs of concrete. Depending on the weather of the season there may be a lack of sunlight in the area which slows the drying process and it can take up to 5 day to complete, and sometimes if there is persistent and heavy rains present they may be forced to take large mechanical dryers to complete the drying process and ensure the flawless amount of mositure in the beans.

Coastal Roasters offers specialty organic and fair trade coffees from around the world. Their online store sells a variety of Organic Coffee and a Coffee of the Month Club featuring their award winning roasts.

Valentines Cupcakes and Frosting: Red Velvet Cupcakes, Strawberry Marshmallow Frosting and More

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

Love and romance, kisses and hugs. It will be Valentines Day soon and one of the best times of the year for chocolate and sweets of all types and the perfect excuse to eat them as well as make them for your sweetheart or as party favors. This time we will discuss Valentines cupcakes and frosting. Again we’ve invited professional cake and cupcake decorator from British Columbia, Canada Leigh Wyryha back to ask her for some Valentine cupcake advice.

We started off by asking for her opinion on her favorite Valentine cupcakes. She enthusiastically admitted that her favorite were red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing and how addicting they can be. She is also fond of chocolate cupcakes with chocolate butter cream frosting on top. And sure enough, just our luck she was willing to share her recipe with us.

Valentines Red Velvet Cupcakes

Ingredients

2 ½ cups of flower

½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon of baking soda

½ teaspoon of salt

1 cup of softened butter

2 cups of sugar

4 eggs

1 cup of sour cream

½ cup of milk

2 teaspoons of vanilla and red food coloring

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in sour cream, milk, food coloring, and vanilla. I would only add a few drops of red food coloring, just enough to get a nice red color in the batter. Then gradually mix in the flour until just blended, don’t over mix. Spoon batter into muffin paper-lined muffin cups about ¾ full. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

And to top it off she even offered the frosting recipe too.

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe:

Ingredients

1- 8 ounce package of cream cheese

¼ cup softened butter

2 teaspoons vanilla

16 oz of confectioners’ sugar (icing sugar)

Directions : Beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar. Spread over top of cooled cupcakes and serve. I like to garnish mine with shaved chocolate.

I love a good cream cheese frosting, it tastes rich and creamy, but we wanted something extra special, something we hadn’t seen before. So we asked her if there was a Valentines frosting recipe that would tip the scales, something that would take this year’s cupcakes to the next level. And that’s when she released this little secret. A frosting recipe that will knock your socks off.

Strawberry Marshmallow Frosting

2 cups of white sugar

2/3 cup of water

1 tablespoon of light corn syrup

4 eggs whites

1 package of strawberry flavored gelatin

red food coloring, if desired

Have 4 egg whites sitting in a small glass bowl within reach and ready to use. In a small saucepan stir together sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and cook to 240 degrees F, or use the water test by dropping a small amount of mixture into a cold cup of water and it should turn into tiny strands. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in your strawberry gelatin. Set aside. Whip egg whites in the small glass bowl until soft peaks form. Slowly pour the sugar mixture into the egg whites while continuing to whip until stiff glossy peaks. Cover cupcakes as desired.

Awesome, a great cupcake recipe and very tasty Valentines frosting recipes. Now we were just dying to know another little secret. How does a professional cupcake decorator package her cupcakes as a romantic gift. She revealed for an elegant, romantic touch to place one or two cupcakes in a white box, tie them off with red ribbon and stick a simple gift tag on the outside with a description revealing what was inside. I like your style Leigh. It sounds simple, but romantic. I’m sure many boyfriends and husbands are reading carefully and taking notes.

Ok I admit we were feeling pretty lucky so we rolled the dice to see if we could be fortunate just one more time. So we asked Leigh if there were any other new and fun Valentines cupcakes ideas that would make this year’s holiday extra special and low and behold she did have a slick idea: cupcakes in a jar! They’re perfect for Valentine’s Day and for birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers too.. It’s a simple technique of placing already baked cupcakes in a jar with layers of frosting in between . All you have to do is pop the lid off, grab a spoon and start eating!

That is such a cool idea! Wow! Very clever. Now there was one last thing I had to ask Leigh since she makes cupcakes for a living. What is her best selling Valentines cupcake. She shared that by far the red velvet cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting on top. She sells them by the dozen and individually and quite honestly can’t make enough of them. Here customers just keep coming back for more.

Well, Leigh that was very insightful and quite frankly delicious sounding. Happy Valentines Day!

The Sparkling White Wine vs. Champagne Debate: French Vintners Say “Non”

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

Many people know by now that the term Champagne, which was used for years to refer to any sparkling white wine, is actually much more specific. Much the way Kleenex and Q-Tip have become household names for facial tissues and cotton swabs, this specific brand of sparkling white wine suffered due to its own popularity, as imitators from all over Europe sought to use the name associated with nobility, exclusivity, and class. And for a long time this situation held. But as the drink became popular with the growing U.S. middle class in the 19th Century, sparking white wine growers and makers in the Champagne region of France decided that they needed to fight harder to protect their exclusive rights to the name.

An 1891 treaty legally reserved the name Champagne for just this purpose. However, even though through both world wars the brand was seen not just as an international treasure but a specific object of pride for the French by most people in the world, the proliferation of the name’s misuse to describe any sparkling white wine continued. This despite the fact that with international support the French authorities can seize any mislabeled shipment and destroy it to protect the brand. Since the formation of the European Union, which forced all the countries in Europe to come into complete compliance with the treaty, the issue has received more attention.

People now understand, for the most part, that the term Champagne can’t accurately be applied to any sparkling white wine. This has given rise to the popularity of other brands such as Prosecco. And to be reasonable, there is plenty of precedence and merit to the claim that the brand deserves to be protected by strict labeling regulations. Many other wines enjoy this degree of protection, such that international wine makers often must specify where their wine was grown as well as the variety of grape.

The reasoning is part commercial – protecting a brand gives owners the ability to market it more effectively and thus charge higher prices – and part science. Many grapes, especially those used for sparkling white wine, are very expressive of the minerals and elements in the water, soil, and air where they grew. Wine tasters with refined palettes can identify different regions of growth for the same grape and same wine production technique, even when all of them come from within France. So there is certainly something to the claim that Champagne from the specific region of France is physically different than other sparkling white wines.

The reality is that the United States, which produces a fair amount of sparking white wine and consumes a great deal as well, is slow to comply with the regulation. But few would suffer if the country began to enforce compliance. Those who own mislabeled brands will have to invest to change future labeling, but they are profiting from a high-jacked brand anyway, so as long as they aren’t forced to re-label bottles already in circulation and ready for shipping, it is not unreasonable. And consumers can learn the difference – those who can actually taste the supposed superiority of a sparkling white wine from Champagne, France can spend the extra for this exclusively-priced product, while everyone else can continue to celebrate with other, satisfactory brands and be no worse for it.

“Seeing Red” Shiraz vs. Cabernet: The Smackdown

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon are two very popular red wines that people are especially fond of using as dinner pairings. Inevitably in such circumstances, people want to know which is the “better” wine. Obviously people have different palettes so there is no clearly superior wine, even when considering pairing with a specific meal. These variables tend to matter almost more than anything else when evaluating the two wines. And even if everybody had the same preferences, the variation among Shiraz and Cabernets depending on budget, region, grower, vintner, and even year are such that a basic ranking of the two is not very meaningful. However, it is helpful to identify one or two of the main and most popular bottles of each and at least compare them in terms of taste, bouquet, common regions and terrior, and body.

Cabernet Sauvignon is grown and produced in most parts of the world, but most famously in the Bordeaux region of France and in California wine country. Though there is even great variety within Bordeaux Cabs and Napa Valley Cabs, they are representative enough of this varietal wine to explain its basic elements. In a general sense Cabernets tend to be medium or full bodied. The Bordeaux Cabs are also known for being “high-powered,” with a strong, pleasant presence on the palette and a high alcohol content. Its high tannin content gives this wine its distinctive gripping flavor. However, as the best Cabs need to age for quite a while, usually in Oak, they are also likely to have a softened tannin level after aging. The French often blend Cab Sauv with Merlot or Shiraz to support some of the flavors and acidity that can be lost during this aging process. But most California Cabernets are almost 100% varietal.

Though both varieties have a bouquet influenced by Oak barrel aging, the process produces different results due to the differences in soil in the two regions and different types of Oak used. Both tend to have a somewhat fruity aroma, with black fruit flavors coming through in the Napa cabs and the fruity fleshiness of other wines such as Merlot included in the blend often defining the nose of the Bordeaux bottles. Many varieties of Cabernet also have subtle notes of bell pepper. Thought it is important to pay attention to the specific characteristics of the different types of Cabernet, as a general rule this dinner red pairs well with strong-flavored dishes that can keep up with its high tannin content, such as simply-prepared red meat

Shiraz is known as Syrah in most of Europe, and is most well-known as a varietal. Its most popular modern varieties come from Australia, where the name Shiraz was popularized. It is also grown in California, and of course in its country of origin, France. Shiraz is usually very terrior-expressive, so it varies greatly even within the same region depending on variables like if it is grown on a hillside or flat area, which impacts soil content. It is dry, though not usually as much as with a Cab. It also has gripping tannins that gives it a full body comparable to Cabernet.

Because it varies so much based on how the grape is grown and the wine is aged, its aroma and bouquet can vary greatly. Pepper and blackberry, chocolate, and lighter fruits are all common undertones in young bottles. As it ages, these primary notes recede giving way to a more complex layering including a bouquet of earthy and savory notes and even toffee in some cases. Shiraz can pair well with red meat, though the most popular Australian bottles have a very full body that lends it especially well to heavier dishes, as opposed to those with delicate flavoring or fishy oils.

The comparison between these two popular dinner reds suggests that there are fine, if important differences, especially in their flavor. But without a specific example of each wine to compare, there is too much left to the specific grower and vintner to effectively generalize. The best approach to answer this question is to taste a few of each and decide for yourself!

Shiraz and Cabernet Are Two Reds That Go Great with Dinner. Each Wine Has Its Own Strengths, Advocates, and Ideal Pairings.

Five Fabulous Features Of The Perfect Oven!

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

When selecting the type of oven you want, there are various factors to consider. For instance are you a gourmet cook, or only an occasional cook? How many do you make food for? It’s rather a waste of cash purchasing a large double oven if you’re creating meals for one!

Have a look at these 5 fabulous functions before you make a decision.

1. Size matters!

Most universal oven spaces allow for a 30″ oven. Therefore a new standard size oven ought to fit into the place previously used by its competitor. Out with the old and in with the new oven, without sacrificing any of the kitchen’s beautiful looks! Having said that most of the dual-fuel ranges are wider, so check the measurements before making your purchase.

2. Oven combinations

If you’re a very busy cook organizing meals for a large family, consider a double oven. Do you remember the old saying ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’? Well, using a double oven, this problem is resolved. Cook a beef roast in the one oven, while baking a cake in the other oven. Really couldn’t get much better than that! A number of double ovens have a combination of microwave as well as convection cooking. A beef roast can cook from the middle using the microwave function and also brown fantastically on the outside with the convection function. However, the smaller family could do very well with a single oven and warmer drawer.

3. Built in, or free-standing?

If you are cooking a large amount of food, a built in oven is usually more convenient. Forget about leaning over to take food in and out of the oven. A built-in oven does appear more modern and has a more streamlined appearance. Free-standing ovens, on the other hand, tend to be cheaper and can fit into the available space.

4. Gas powered or electric?

It is commonly agreed that the electric powered oven provides the most precise temperature, and an electric oven is preferable to a gas oven. Then again, every qualified chef will advise you that there’s nothing to beat a gas cooktop. The good news is that a dual-fuel range is a combination of both. Gas cooktop combined with an electric oven. The initial expense is higher as you have to install a gas as well as an electricity feed. Investigate the ongoing fees of these different types of heating according to your particular area. For the average family cook, either electric or gas will certainly more than provide what you need. The preference is very personal.

5. Convection Oven

In the contemporary kitchen a convection oven is definitely the best option. It truly is very simple to achieve exceptionally even cooking on all of the oven shelves . Such a boon for the really serious baker! A number of contemporary ovens even incorporate conversion charts that electronically convert the temperatures and cooking times of your favorite recipes for cooking in a convection oven. All recipes, ranging from biscuits and bread, to oven roasts are extremely suited to convection cooking.

There we have it, five fantastic features to bear in mind when selecting the most beneficial oven!

Important Tips To Choosing A Fire Extinguisher

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

By Adrianna Noton

Choosing a fire extinguisher can easily become an overwhelming task. There are so many to choose from that many simply pick one that is either easy to mount or one that is the cheapest unit they can find. Neither is a good solution so there are some important things to consider when you are ready to buy a suppression unit of your own.

No matter how safe you are fires can easily occur and in an instant your life is in jeopardy. Buying the right unit placed perfectly by an exit can help keep all fires at bay till fire fighters arrive. Those who have looked for a extinguisher in the past has probably come across a series of letters that describe each unit.

Each home suppression unit will either be one of three classes, A, B, C, D and K. A class A unit is one that is meant for suppression of ordinary combustible things such as paper, cardboard, wood and plastics. These units will also have a number posted somewhere on the canister itself. This number is the representation of the amount of water contained inside. These units will also have a green triangle printed on the canister for easy identification.

Class B units are meant to suppress fires that involve combustible liquids. Combustible liquids will include oils, kerosene, gasoline and household grease. This unit will also contain numbers but these numbers do not represent the amount of water contained. Instead the numbers will represent the number of square footage of fire it can be used to suppress. A red square visually identifies this type of unit.

A class C unit will be used on fires involving electrical equipment such as appliances, circuit breakers and wiring that has caught fire as well as any wall outlets. Do not under any circumstances ever use water or a unit that contains water to try and put out this type of fire. There is a high probability of electrical shock occurring. This kinds of units will not have any number posted on the side and the reason these are marked C is because the suppression agent inside is non conductive. A blue circle is the visual identifier of this type of unit.

Class D and Class K units are specialty units. A class D unit is meant for use in a laboratory setting. These fires will usually involve metals such as titanium and magnesium. The important thing to remember is that they are not for general purpose so a lab will have other units on hand as well. A class K unit is meant for restaurants or other large scale cooking operations. These units are specifically designed for use on trans-fats and other kinds of fats and oils that restaurants will generally have.

When choosing a fire extinguisher you should have a primary unit and a secondary unit on hand. The primary unit or units and will be strategically placed on every level of the home and no more then 45 feet apart. A secondary unit is not required but generally speaking recommended. This unit is usually a class B unit and is mounted somewhere in the kitchen. This should be placed near the cooking area, so it is within reach.

Choosing a fire extinguisher is vital for any home. It is easy to be overwhelmed when trying to decide, remember either classifications or the colored symbol posted on the unit. Buy the appropriate number of primary units and consider getting a backup one as well.

How to Choose a Kitchen Colour Scheme

Saturday, February 25th, 2012

If you’re planning to give your kitchen a completely new look one of the main aspects of design to consider is colour scheme. Essentially, the colour scheme could make or break the entire appearance of your new kitchen – get it right and you can indulge in culinary bliss for many happy years, get it wrong and you’ll revert to eating baked beans directly out of the tin.

Hastily choosing a kitchen colour scheme is a recipe for disaster, it requires careful consideration. If you’re struggling to conjure up a colour scheme and don’t know where to start, here are a few factors which can help to narrow down your options and hone in on that perfect colour scheme.

Size of the Room

The size of the room can significantly affect what colours, shades and tones could work in your kitchen. If your kitchen is relatively small then opting for a colour scheme which is too vibrant or dark could make it appear “pokey” and cramped. This however, doesn’t mean you have to avoid colour, pastel shades can add character without reducing the visual size of the room. A neutral colour scheme contrasted with hints of a bright accent colour can also make your kitchen appear fresh.

Spacious kitchens benefit from having more of a choice when it comes to colour. Choosing a very pale colour scheme though isn’t recommended, it can make your kitchen appear cold and unoccupied. For a colourful yet controlled colour scheme, add a splash of vibrancy by having a feature wall in a loud colour which contrasts the other three.

Adhering to your House Style

The rest of your home will also determine décor choices for your kitchen. If you have an ultra-modern flat a country cottage style kitchen would stand out like a sore thumb. Although you don’t want every room to be decorated the same, you do need some style continuation to help to tie all of the rooms in your house together.

To make your kitchen its own individual room without it appearing erratic in comparison to the rest of the house, use your garden for colour inspiration. Many houses have kitchens which adjoin the garden and often, the garden is visible from the kitchen by the window. Look for colours on flowers you’ve planted; is there one in particular that you love? You could use that petal’s colour as your kitchen’s accent colour – providing you with design continuation and a pleasant colour scheme inspired by nature.

Focal Point Furniture

If you’ve seen a kitchen table and chair set which you simply have to have, you can work your colour scheme around that. Choosing a focal point can actually help you to develop a tailored colour scheme for your kitchen, based on your favourite furniture piece. This is sometimes a better way of designing your kitchen, if you choose the colour scheme before finding furniture you may struggle to find that ultimate focal point that you’re entirely happy with.

Choosing the colour scheme for your kitchen is something which requires thought and can often be a case of trial and error. When painting walls always bring sample pots home and use them in different lights in your kitchen to see whether they suit the furniture. Once you have a colour scheme for your walls and flooring you need to choose a colour for appliances and kitchen taps etc. Currently, chrome taps accompanied with black kitchen appliances are a popular choice for the modern kitchen. Choosing the right colour scheme can help you to achieve that dream kitchen which you’ve always desired.
