Simply having sumptuous cuisine menu and dependable customer service is not going to make your restaurant business lucrative until it is equipped with proper furniture. As customers are subtle in their standpoints and they want everything fine while dining at the restaurants, after all they are paying you for that. Therefore, having well furnished furniture at an eating place is quite understandable for competent restaurant owners.

This includes sprucing up the looks of the structure outwardly and inwardly as well as ensuring the standard of services. The significance of having exclusive inward appearance matters particularly when embarking on such business. You can simply hire a professional to assist you efficiently in sufficing this need. To be fair, with the professional advice from the interior designer experts, your vision to turn your standard eating-place into exclusive one can come true easily. And that is a fantastic way to droll your customers and let them come back again and again pleasingly.

Let’s discuss restaurant chairs particularly with regards to the colors and its subsistence in the due course. By the way, choosing colors in your restaurant chairs, which typically requires extra efforts in cleaning cannot be the right choice. For example, if the interiors of your eatery are well ordered but the color is white or any other similar color then the situation will be quite complex for you.

White color is exceptionally noticeable in regard to the looks and typically requires special and regular care when it comes to maintain cleanliness. Sitting etiquettes vary from customer to customer; some seat on the chair mannerly while others roughly and even a little stain is enough to blight the whole scenario of the eatery. And you cannot think to rub it easily but instead it is very arduous. Scrubbing the stain on the white chair using a damp cloth with a bit dust may spoil the entire surface with grubby lines. By and large, it would be well understood now to avoid white color in a restaurant chair, regardless of the fact is looks catchy and elegant outwardly.

Note: Writing holiday posts has always been a challenge, because for a number of years, even before starting The Best Food Blog Ever, I have always stayed true to the same recipes.  And while tradition once again trumps innovation for this holiday season, when I started to consider how many new followers on Twitter and new readers I’ve gained over three years, it just made sense to repost my entry for roast turkey because, hey, it’s going to be new for someone out there.  First published here in 2008, and you’ll probably see it come around again at this time next year, and the year after that.

I promised to post the Thanksgiving recipes in time for Christmas, so here’s the final, and probably the most critical, one.  As I’ve already mentioned, this roast turkey recipe is a blend of different preparations that I’ve used over the past few years.  I’ve taken the best aspects of every preparation that I’ve used, and this is the result.

When I first decided on a recurring holiday turkey recipe, I started out by using a liberal application of herbed butter under the skin of the bird, which does a better job of flavoring the meat than basting or cavity aromatics would.  If you think about it, basting merely flavors the skin, and no matter how often you ladle pan drippings over the roast, those drippings do nothing but run down the outside of the bird back into the pan.  Psychologically, it’s satisfying, but technically basting accomplishes nothing since the skin acts as a barrier.  The same is true for stuffing things into the turkey’s cavity – no matter what you put in there, the meat will still be shielded from the aromatics by the bone structure of the bird, so the effect is minimized.

Using an under-the-skin application of herbed butter achieves two goals – it flavors the skin from beneath, and it also imparts a wonderful flavor to the meat below.  So, that’s the approach that I used for years, until I discovered brining, and now I use a brine-and-butter approach.

I’ve been putting this post off for so long. I just didn’t want to write about knefe (or knefeh) in Australia because I couldn’t possibly have done it justice. Let me start by explaining what knefe is. First of all, though it is sweet, knefe is not considered to be dessert; it’s a meal all on its own and it’s most commonly eaten for breakfast. A layer of ground kataifi pastry is kneaded with ghee, laid on top of a layer of akkawi cheese (de-salted) and is baked until the cheese goes super-stretchy and the pastry a deep, golden brown. The huge tray the knefe is baked in is called a sidr, and the sidr is displayed outside most patisseries: showing off your knefe creates a swift trade. When you order a knefe, a special sesame seed bun called kaakeh is stuffed till it explodes with cheese and pastry and is then doused with sugar syrup. Knefe needs to be eaten on the spot, hot and stretchy.

To witness peak demand on knefe, you only need to go clubbing in Beirut till about 4am and then on your way back, find yourself a Sea Sweet patisserie. There you will see lines of Lebanese boys and gals queueing up for a post alcohol feast. In reality, nothing is as good as a knefe after a big night out. You really must watch the video of the talented knefe guy in Saida doing his thing. You’ll get an idea how raucous things can get when people are queueing up for the good stuff. I took this video at Jardali patisserie in Saida, but I buy my knefe from Al Basyooni, which has a great knefe and is much more civilised. The knefe cost 2,500LL, which is less than $3 AUD.

If you want a knefe in Sydney, go to Sea Sweet in Parrammatta, or try the Turkish kunefeh at Efendy in Balmain, which is absolutely amazing.

I fell in love with Istanbul; its glorious sunshine, lush greenery and gob-smackingly beautiful, over-the-top ornate mosques. There’s a tangible pulse to the city – the bazars, the endless variety of food, the traffic, the thieving street vendors – magnetic and beautiful. Istanbulites, it seemed to me, knew how to live. Each night, Turkish bars, meyhanes, are full to the brim with raucous Turks eating kebabs that glisten with lamb tail fat and drinking whole bottles of the potent, aniseed-flavored grape alcohol raki like it was going out of fashion. The city is bright and clean while still projecting a deep sense of history and culture. European infrastructure with Middle-Eastern hospitality: an absolutely ideal combination. I just wanted to be there forever.

But Gaziantep was also on the books for me. Of course, Istanbul is only a small part of Turkey and if you’ve only visited Istanbul, Gaziantep will take you by surprise. Sure, the kebabs with lamb tail fat are still there, and the raki is there too, though harder to find, but Gaziantep feels like a completely different Turkey. Only a 1 hour drive away from the Syrian border (2 hours from Aleppo), the city is decidedly more Arab. Immediately when I arrive, the weather is warmer and the scenery is less green and noticeably drier. Gaziantep, too, is more Muslim than Istanbul – apparently, only 2 places in town serve alcohol, though I’m told one could book out the local bathhouse to be served raki and cig kofte (raw lamb kofte) in complete secrecy. The raki-serving restaurant we visit has security guards at the gate as well as metal detectors; drinking is obviously less of a sport here. I have liver kebabs for breakfast and follow them up with lamb testicle kebabs for safe measure. Later that same day, I wait for charcoal-grilled burmali kadayif to cool down and am amazed by how a dingy little shop run by a teenager could turn out a dish so stunning: smoky, sweet, crisp and filled with the best pistachios I had ever tasted.

Gaziantep’s pistachio are among the best in the world. In fact, the Turkish word for pistachios translates to “Gaziantep nuts”, just like the Arabic word for pistachios translates to “Aleppo nuts”. As the two cities are so close and share a common geography, their pistachios are equally proverbial. For another pistachio treat, we are told to try katmer, a very peculiar dessert in which the pastry is made in very much the same way roti canai is. Pliable dough is repeatedly and skillfully stretched over a marble surface until it is almost as thin as cling-film. It is oiled and filled with Gaziantep’s pistachios and kaymak, luscious clotted cream similar to the Middle-Eastern ashta, and then sprinkled with sugar. It’s so brilliantly magnificent one could easily forget Istanbul and stay in Gaziantep forever.

Ethical treatment of farm animals has been a growing topic of concern ever since author Eric Schlosser wrote the shocking exposé Fast Food Nation in 2001.

Now, a provocative paper published this month in the journal Neuroethics argues for artificially reducing the suffering of livestock by engineering animals that lack the ability to sense pain.

In humans, there have been a few documented cases of people who have Hereditary Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy, a disorder in which the afflicted feels little to no pain.

But it’s far more dangerous than it sounds, since a person with the disorder can’t feel his or her own physical limits. That means they’re often covered in bruises and cuts, may not be able to regulate body temperature and could easily accidentally kill themselves.

Now, scientists argue whether “pain-free” can join “free-range” and “hormone-free” when it comes to livestock.

The New Scientist details a bleak picture for livestock in factory farms:

Humans consume nearly 300 million tonnes of meat each year. Our appetite for flesh has risen by 50 per cent since the 1960s, and the trend looks set to continue. Most of this will likely come from factory farms, notorious for cramped quarters and ill treatment of animals. Battery farm chickens, for instance, routinely have part of their beaks removed without anaesthetic or pain relief to prevent them from pecking their neighbours.

The paper’s solution is to reduce animal suffering in factory farming operations by genetically engineering livestock with a reduced or eliminated capacity to suffer.

Of course, that doesn’t mean consumers will actually buy the product: despite FDA approval, few consumers are willing to buy meat they know is cloned or genetically-engineered.

The science behind the concept is a bit more nuanced.

Research indicates that the sensation of pain is distinct from the unpleasant feeling — called “affective pain” — connected to it, suggesting it might be possible to preserve “pain” while eliminating “suffering.”

In the hopes of placating chronic itching, Zhou-Feng Chen, a neuroscientist at Washington University in St. Louis, has identified the genes that regulate affective pain. Chen and his colleagues engineered mice that lack enzymes that help neuron-to-neuron communication in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the brain thought to play a role in autonomous behavior.

When the team injected a toxic, irritating chemical into the paws of test mice, the animals licked them briefly. In contrast, normal mice continued to do so for hours — suggesting that livestock can be spared suffering but feel the initial sensation of pain.

Last week I had a little pickling disaster. I went through the whole process of making a nice big quart of sweet and spicy pickles, and on the last step of the water bath, my jar cracked. My last hour of work was just floating in a pool of failure. Not to be out done by some fragile glass, I set out to make another batch this weekend. I found some nice cukes and hot peppers at the farmers market, and bought new and shiny Ball jars. No breaks this time. Now we play the waiting game. In a few weeks we will know if the effort was worth it.

Buying really good quality wine is never an easy thing to do. For one, there is not that much of it about. If you are talking twenty pounds a bottle plus, then this just isn’t the sort of thing that you will find in your local supermarket. You might find the odd bottle for ten pounds here or there, but this is not likely to be anything too special. You might be fortunate enough to have a fine wine merchants in your town or city, but again, this does not make it a straight forward thing to deal with. Often, the prices in fine wine shops are above and beyond what they should be. The best way to tackle this sort of purchase is by looking online.

These days there are some really superb wine shops on the internet. You will find sites that have tens of thousands of different bottles of wine available for sale, which means that you can find pretty much whatever you are looking for within reason. If for instance you want a really great bottle of Red Wine as a gift for someone, you will have your pick of the first, second, third and fourth growth wines from Bordeaux, you will be bale to buy the finest St Emilions that are available, and you will also have your pick of fine wine from the new world, and all at great prices too and this applies to White Wine and champagne as well as red wine.

In most regions of the country, the warm days of summer and early fall can leave the family cook sweltering in front of a hot stove, preparing those nutritious meals. Besides making your house too warm for comfort, you may find your appetite languishing by the time you’re ready to sit down. Here we’ve got some quick cooking recipes and tips that save you time and leave your energy ?and appetite intact when you’re ready to eat. Let’s see how you can work this kitchen magic for you and your family.

The microwave is one of your best friends, particularly in hot weather. It lends itself perfectly to preparing quick cooking recipes and certainly helps keep the kitchen cool. For entrees, try cooking a batch of chicken or fish in the microwave. These meats turn out perfect when cooked in the microwave. You can even cook chicken in the morning and simply warm it up in a lidded frying pan just before serving, with the added advantage of giving the chicken a quick browning that enhances the taste. Fish cooks so quickly that it takes just a few minutes to prepare at dinner time. Use the microwave to cook fresh veggies in the cool morning hours, cooking them until just slightly undercooked. Refrigerate until ready to serve, warming and finishing cooking in the microwave.

The slow cooker is another boon to those looking for quick cooking recipes. It takes just minutes to assemble a complete one-dish meal in the morning and then let it do its thing while you attend to your busy schedule. One example is a pot roast. Cut up some potatoes, carrots and onions, put in a cup of water and lay your roast on top, seasoning as desired. Put the lid on and you’re done! The slow cooker does the work.

Cooking in bulk is another time saver for the busy cook, which also saves money and helps keep the kitchen cool in hot weather. Here are a couple of examples for this type of quick cooking recipes. Let’s say ground beef is on sale this week. Get five pounds and cook it all up at once. Divide the cooked meat into family dinner sized portions and then season a pound for spaghetti, another for tacos, enchiladas or a casserole dish. You might reserve two pounds for a meatloaf to bake while you’re frying up the other three pounds. You’ve now got at least three stove top tasks finished in one effort, plus a meatloaf. Freeze your individually seasoned portions in freezer bags ready to go as the mood strikes. Serve meatloaf for dinner and use leftovers for sandwiches. Cooking during the cool hours makes this much easier on the cook.

In the same way, cooking up a big batch of rice takes the same amount of time as preparing it for a single meal. Divide the cooked rice and freeze, ready to defrost and use whenever your menu calls for rice. This tip on quick cooking recipes saves time and reduces your energy consumption, while making summertime cooking less stressful on you in a hot kitchen.

Busy Moms can get a jump on the kid’s school lunch prep here. Watch for sales on lunch meats and cheeses at the deli. Stock up and make an ‘assembly line’ production of sandwiches. Line up a bunch of hoagie rolls and fill them with your sandwich goodies. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze. Defrost the number of sandwiches you need for tomorrow’s lunch tonight. In the morning, let the kids put on mayo, mustard or whatever they like to dress the sandwich. Pack and go!

Everyone welcomes a chef’s salad during hot weather. These quick cooking recipes don’t even require cooking and help you fit those nutrient-packed 5-9 servings of veggies in to your menus. Julienne sliced chicken or salad shrimp may be prepared in bulk as well to make another one-dish meal as a do-ahead.

How about breakfast? Pancakes, waffles and crepes can be prepared ahead of time in bulk and frozen for future quick and easy breakfasts. All that’s required is a short, low temperature warming in the oven before serving. With a side of sausage patties, you’ve got a delicious breakfast.

You can see that these tips for quick cooking recipes, using your microwave, slow cooker and freezer, along with cooking in bulk makes good sense. You save time and money while staying cool as a cucumber!
