Sushi 101
Sushi History
The traditional form of sushi is fermented fish and rice, preserved with salt in a process that has been traced to Southeast Asia, where it remains popular today[citation needed]. The term sushi comes from an archaic grammatical form no longer used in other contexts; literally, "sushi" means "it's sour", a reflection of its historic fermented roots. The science behind the fermentation of fish packed in rice is that the vinegar produced from fermenting rice breaks the fish down into amino acids.
This results in one of the five basic tastes, called umami in Japanese. The oldest form of sushi in Japan, Narezushi still very closely resembles this process. In Japan, Narezushi evolved into Oshizushi and ultimately Edomae nigirizushi, which is what the world today knows as "sushi." Contemporary Japanese sushi has little resemblance to the traditional lacto-fermented rice dish. Originally, when the fermented fish was taken out of the rice, only the fish was consumed and the fermented rice was discarded. The strong-tasting and -smelling funazushi, a kind of narezushi made near Lake Biwa in Japan, resembles the traditional fermented dish. Beginning in the Muromachi period (AD 1336–1573) of Japan, vinegar was added to the mixture for better taste and preservation. The vinegar accentuated the rice's sourness, and was known to increase its life span, allowing the fermentation process to be shortened and eventually abandoned. In the following centuries, sushi in Osaka evolved into oshi-zushi. The seafood and rice were pressed using wooden (usually bamboo) molds. By the mid 18th century, this form of sushi had reached Edo (contemporary Tokyo). The contemporary version, internationally known as "sushi," was invented by Hanaya Yohei (華屋与兵衛; 1799–1858) at the end of Edo period in Edo. The sushi invented by Hanaya was an early form of fast food that was not fermented (therefore prepared quickly) and could be eaten with one's hands roadside or in a theatre. Originally, this sushi was known as Edomae zushi, because it used freshly caught fish in the Edo-mae (Edo Bay or Tokyo Bay). Though the fish used in modern sushi no longer usually comes from Tokyo Bay, it is still formally known as Edomae nigirizushi.
Types of sushi
The common ingredient across all the different kinds of sushi is sushi rice. The variety in sushi arises from the different fillings and toppings, condiments, and the way these ingredients are put together. The same ingredients may be assembled in a traditional or a contemporary way, creating a very different final result.[5] In spelling sushi its first letter s is replaced with z when a prefix is attached, as in nigirizushi, due to consonant mutation called rendaku in Japanese.
Nigirizushi Nigirizushi (握り寿司, lit. hand-formed sushi) consists of an oblong mound of sushi rice that is pressed between the palms of the hands, usually with a bit of wasabi, and a topping draped over it. Toppings are typically fish such as salmon, tuna or other seafood. Certain toppings are typically bound to the rice with a thin strip of nori, most commonly tako (octopus), unagi (freshwater eel), anago (sea eel), ika (squid), and tamago (sweet egg). When ordered separately, nigiri is generally served in pairs. A sushi set may contain only one piece of each topping. Gunkanmaki (軍艦巻, lit. warship roll) is a special type of nigirizushi: an oval, hand-formed clump of sushi rice that has a strip of "nori" wrapped around its perimeter to form a vessel that is filled with some soft, loose or fine-chopped ingredient that requires the confinement of nori such as roe, natto, oysters, sea urchin, corn with mayonnaise, and quail eggs.Gunkan-maki was invented at the Ginza Kyubey restaurant in 1931;[6][7] its invention significantly expanded the repertoire of soft toppings used in sushi. Temarizushi (手まり寿司, lit. ball sushi) is a ball-shaped sushi made by pressing rice and fish into a ball-shaped form by hand using a plastic wrap. They are quite easy to make and thus a good starting point for beginners.[8] [edit] Makizushi or Makimono Rolling maki Makizushi and Inarizushi in a Japanese supermarket. Sasazushi, a type of oshizushi Inari-zushi Makizushi (巻寿司, lit. rolled sushi) or makimono (巻物, lit. variety of rolls) is cylindrical piece, formed with the help of a bamboo mat, called a makisu (巻簾). Makizushi is generally wrapped in nori, but can occasionally be found wrapped in a thin omelette, soy paper, cucumber, or parsley. Makizushi is usually cut into six or eight pieces, which constitutes a single roll order. Below are some common types of makizushi, but many other kinds exist. Futomaki (太巻, lit. thick, large or fat rolls) is a large cylindrical piece, with nori on the outside. A typical futomaki is three or four centimeters (1.5 in) in diameter. They are often made with two or three fillings that are chosen for their complementary tastes and colors. During the Setsubun festival, it is traditional in Kansai to eat uncut futomaki in its cylindrical form, where it is particularly called ehou-maki (恵方巻, lit. happy direction rolls). Futomaki is often vegetarian, but may include non-vegetarian toppings such as tiny fish roe and chopped tuna. Hosomaki (細巻, lit. thin rolls) is a small cylindrical piece, with the nori on the outside. A typical hosomaki has a diameter of about two centimeters (0.75 in). They generally contain only one filling, often tuna, cucumber, kanpyō, thinly sliced carrots, or, more recently, avocado. Kappamaki, (河童巻) a kind of Hosomaki filled with cucumber, is named after the Japanese legendary water imp fond of cucumbers called the kappa. Traditionally, Kappamaki is consumed to clear the palate between eating raw fish and other kinds of food, so that the flavors of the fish are distinct from the tastes of other foods. Tekkamaki (鉄火巻) is a kind of Hosomaki filled with raw tuna. Although some[who?] believe that the name "Tekka", meaning 'red hot iron', alludes to the color of the tuna flesh or salmon flesh, it actually originated as a quick snack to eat in gambling dens called "Tekkaba (鉄火場)", much like the sandwich.[9][10] Negitoromaki (ねぎとろ巻) is a kind of Hosomaki filled with scallion and chopped tuna. Fatty tuna is often used in this style. Tsunamayomaki (ツナマヨ巻) is a kind of Hosomaki filled with canned tuna tossed with mayonnaise. Temaki (手巻, lit. hand rolls) is a large cone-shaped piece of nori on the outside and the ingredients spilling out the wide end. A typical temaki is about ten centimeters (4 in) long, and is eaten with fingers because it is too awkward to pick it up with chopsticks. For optimal taste and texture, Temaki must be eaten quickly after being made because the nori cone soon absorbs moisture from the filling and loses its crispness and becomes somewhat difficult to bite. Uramaki (裏巻, lit. inside-out rolls) is a medium-sized cylindrical piece, with two or more fillings. Uramaki differs from other makimono because the rice is on the outside and the nori inside. The filling is in the center surrounded by nori, then a layer of rice, and an outer coating of some other ingredients such as roe or toasted sesame seeds. It can be made with different fillings such as tuna, crab meat, avocado, mayonnaise, cucumber, carrots. Uramaki has not been so popular in Japan and most of makimono is not uramaki because it is easy to hold makimono with nori skin by fingers. However, since some Western people dislike the black impression of makimono with nori skin, uramaki has become more popular in Western countries than nori-skined makimono[11]. [edit] Oshizushi Oshizushi (押し寿司, lit. pressed sushi), is a pressed sushi from the Kansai Region, a favourite and specialty of Osaka. A block-shaped piece formed using a wooden mold, called an oshibako. The chef lines the bottom of the oshibako with the toppings, covers them with sushi rice, and then presses the lid of the mold down to create a compact, rectilinear block. The block is removed from the mold and then cut into bite-sized pieces. [edit] Inarizushi Search Wikibooks Wikibooks Cookbook has a recipe/module on Inarizushi Inari-zushi (稲荷寿司, stuffed sushi) is a pouch of fried tofu filled with usually just sushi rice. It is named after the Shinto god Inari, who is believed to have a fondness for fried tofu. The pouch is normally fashioned as deep-fried tofu (油揚げ, abura age). Regional variations include pouches made of a thin omelette (帛紗寿司, fukusa-zushi or 茶巾寿司, chakin-zushi). It should not be confused with inari maki, which is a roll filled with flavored fried tofu. A very large version, sweeter than normal and often containing bits of carrot, is popular in Hawaii, where it is called "cone sushi." [edit] Sukeroku Sukeroku (助六, name of a man in Edo period) is the combination set of inarizushi and makizushi, which is served as a single-portion takeout style sushi-pack. In a famous Kabuki play Sukeroku, a good looks man Sukeroku is the lover of an Oiran courtesan named Agemaki (揚巻, lit. fry for age and roll for maki). Age and maki which form her name correspond to fried tofu namely inari and makimono, respectively. One rumour of sukeroku-zushi is that takeout style packs of inarizushi and makizushi had served at performances of Sukeroku kabuki in Edo period. Sukeroku is a cheap sushi-pack and often vegetarian. [edit] Chirashizushi Nama-chirashi, or chirashizushi with raw ingredients Chirashizushi (ちらし寿司, lit. scattered sushi) is a bowl of sushi rice with other ingredients mixed in (also refers to barazushi). It is commonly eaten in Japan because it is filling, fast and easy to make. Chirashizushi most often varies regionally because it is eaten annually as a part of the Doll Festival, celebrated only during March in Japan. The ingredients are often chef's choice. Edomae chirashizushi (Edo-style scattered sushi) is an uncooked ingredient that is arranged artfully on top of the sushi rice in a bowl. Gomokuzushi (Kansai-style sushi) are cooked or uncooked ingredients mixed in the body of rice in a bowl. [edit] Narezushi Narezushi (熟れ寿司, lit. matured sushi) is a traditional form of fermented sushi. Skinned and gutted fish are stuffed with salt, placed in a wooden barrel, doused with salt again, then weighed down with a heavy tsukemonoishi (pickling stone). As days pass, water seeps out and is removed. After six months this funazushi can be eaten, remaining edible for another six months or more. [edit] Western sushi Western sushi The increasing popularity of sushi in North America as well as around the world has resulted in variations of sushi typically found in the West but rarely if at all in Japan. Such creations to suit the Western palate[11] were initially fueled by the invention of the California roll. A wide variety of popular rolls has evolved since. Some examples include: * California roll consists of avocado, kani kama (imitation crab stick), and cucumber, often made uramaki (with rice on the outside, nori on the inside) * Caterpillar roll generally includes avocado, unagi, kani kama, and cucumber. * Dynamite roll includes yellowtail (hamachi), and fillings such as bean sprouts, carrots, chili and spicy mayonnaise (In some parts of Canada, especially western Canada, a dynamite roll consists of a tempura-fried shrimp, masago (capelin roe), avocado and cucumber.) * Rainbow roll is typically a California roll topped with several various sashimi. * Spider roll includes fried soft shell crab and other fillings such as cucumber, avocado, daikon sprouts or lettuce, roe, and spicy mayonnaise. * Philadelphia roll almost always consists of smoked salmon, cream cheese, cucumber, and/or onion. * Salmon skin roll has grilled salmon skin with sweet sauce and cucumber. * Crunchy roll a California roll deep fried tempura-style, often topped with sweet eel sauce or chili sauce. * Seattle roll consists of cucumber, avocado, and raw or smoked salmon. * B.C. Roll contains salmon skin, roe, cucumber, sweet sauce. * Louisiana Roll contains blue crab and/or crawfish, spicy mayonnaise, creole seasoning or hot sauce, and sometimes green onion and cucumber. Other rolls may include scallops, spicy tuna, beef or chicken or teriyaki roll, okra, and vegetables.Sushi rolls can also be made with brown rice and black rice. These have also appeared in Japanese cuisine. In Hawaii, there is a predominant style of maki sushi that includes shoyu tuna (canned not fresh), tamago, kanpyō, kamaboko, and the distinctive red and green hana ebi (shrimp powder).
Sushi rice
Sushi is made with white, short-grained, Japanese rice mixed with a dressing made of rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and occasionally kombu and sake. It has to be cooled to room temperature before being used for a filling in a sushi or else it will get too sticky while being seasoned. Traditionally, the mixing is done with a hangiri, which is a round, flat-bottom wooden tub or barrel, and a wooden paddle (shamoji). Sushi rice (sushi-meshi or su-meshi 酢飯) is prepared with short-grain Japanese rice, which has a consistency that differs from long-grain strains such as those from India, Thailand, and Vietnam. The essential quality is its stickiness or glutinousness. Rice that is too sticky has a mushy texture; if not sticky enough, it feels dry. Freshly harvested rice (shinmai) typically contains too much water, and requires extra time to drain the rice cooker after washing. In some fusion cuisine restaurants, short grain brown rice and wild rice are also used. There are regional variations in sushi rice and, of course, individual chefs have their individual methods. Most of the variations are in the rice vinegar dressing: the Kanto region (or East Japan) version of the dressing commonly uses more salt; in Kansai region (or West Japan), the dressing has more sugar.
Nori A sheet of nori. The black seaweed wrappers used in makimono are called nori. Nori is a type of algae, traditionally cultivated in the harbors of Japan. Originally, algae was scraped from dock pilings, rolled out into thin, edible sheets, and dried in the sun, in a process similar to making rice paper. Whereas in Japan, nori may never be toasted before being used in food, many brands found in the U.S. reach drying temperatures above 108 °F (42 °C)
Today, the commercial product is farmed, processed, toasted, packaged, and sold in standard-size sheets about 18 by 21 centimetres (7.1 by 8.3 in). Higher quality nori is thick, smooth, shiny, green, and has no holes. When stored for several months, nori sheets can change color to dark green-brownish. The standard size of a whole nori sheet mentioned above influences the size of maki-mono. A full size sheet produces futomaki, and a half produces hosomaki and temaki. To produce gunkan and some other makimono, an appropriately sized piece of nori is cut from a whole sheet. Nori by itself is an edible snack and is available with salt or flavored with teriyaki sauce. The flavored variety, however, tends to be of lesser quality and is not suitable for sushi. When making fukusazushi, a paper-thin omelette may replace a sheet of nori as the wrapping. The omelette is traditionally made on a rectangular omelette pan (makiyakinabe), and used to form the pouch for the rice and fillings.
Toppings and fillings
For culinary, sanitary, and aesthetic reasons, fish eaten raw must be fresher and of higher quality than fish which is cooked. The FDA recommends that fish to be eaten raw is frozen before being consumed, as this will kill all parasites (but not all harmful microorganisms).[12] Professional sushi chefs are trained to recognize important attributes, including smell, color, firmness, and freedom from parasites that may go undetected in commercial inspection. Commonly-used fish are tuna (maguro, shiro-maguro),
Japanese amberjack, yellowtail (hamachi), snapper (kurodai), mackerel (saba), and salmon (sake). The most valued sushi ingredient is toro, the fatty cut of the fish. This comes in a variety of ōtoro (often from the bluefin species of tuna) and chūtoro, meaning middle toro, implying that it is halfway into the fattiness between toro and the regular cut. Aburi style refers to nigiri sushi where the fish is partially grilled (topside) and partially raw. Most nigiri sushi will be completely raw. Other seafoods such as squid (ika), eel (anago and unagi), pike conger (hamo), octopus (tako), shrimp (ebi and amaebi), clam (mirugai, aoyagi and akagi), fish roe (ikura, masago, kazunoko and tobiko), sea urchin (uni), crab (kani), and various kinds of shellfish (abalone, prawn, scallop) are the most popular seafoods in sushi. Oysters, however, are less common, as the taste is not thought to go well with the rice. Kani kama, or imitation crab stick, is commonly substituted for real crab, most notably in California rolls. Ebifurai-Maki (エビフライ巻き). Fried-Shrimp Roll. Pickled daikon radish (takuan) in shinko maki, pickled vegetables (tsukemono), fermented soybeans (nattō) in nattō maki, avocado, cucumber in kappa maki, asparagus, yam, pickled ume (umeboshi), gourd (kanpyō), burdock (gobo), and sweet corn may be mixed with mayonnaise. Tofu and eggs (in the form of slightly sweet, layered omelette called tamagoyaki and raw quail eggs ride as a gunkan-maki topping) are common.
Sushi is commonly eaten with condiments. Sushi may be dipped in Shōyu, soy sauce, and may be flavored with Wasabi, a piquant paste made from the grated root of the Wasabi japonica plant.
True wasabi has anti-microbial properties and may reduce the risk of food poisoning.[13] The traditional grating tool for wasabi is a sharkskin grater or samegawa oroshi. An imitation wasabi (seiyo-wasabi), made from horseradish and mustard powder and dyed green is common. It is found at lower-end kaiten zushi restaurants, in bento box sushi and at most restaurants outside of Japan. If manufactured in Japan, it may be labelled "Japanese Horseradish".[14] Gari, sweet, pickled ginger is eaten with sushi to both cleanse the palate and aid in digestion. In Japan, green tea (ocha) is invariably served together with sushi. Better sushi restaurants often use a distinctive premium tea known as mecha. In sushi vocabulary, green tea is known as agari.

Academic Programs
Nepean Christian School is a non-selective school that values all students as individual learners. We are committed to nurturing every student regardless of their ability and have an academic program that reflects the academic diversity of our students.
Community over competition
We have high academic expectations of students and work tirelessly to individualise the curriculum to match the different learning needs of students. However, we do not compare one child's performance to another. You will never find sticker charts or any other visual display about how one child's academic journey is being compared to another. We do not give prizes or certificates at assemblies or award nights. At NCS every child is precious and their journey unique. To value the learning of one child over another says to the community that the school is only interested in the best and the brightest. For us, we will always encourage community over competition, pushing students to achieve their best, without comparison to others.
Individualised curriculum
Knowing that each child learns differently, we individualise the curriculum to recognise the different points of learning and pace with which children learn. In primary, this is recognised through small literacy and numeracy groups based on ability. In high school we have a 3-tier level system offering additional scaffolded support for level 1, through to extension and enrichment for level 3. Students work at their own pace with the assistance of highly qualified teachers.
Nepean Christian School has an excellent level of support for students with learning and physical needs. Many parents choose NCS because of our reputation for caring for all students. Our support department works closely with teachers and parents to develop individual learning plans for each child. Additional support also occurs through withdrawal and through the use of teacher's aides within classrooms. We place particular emphasis on the K-2 years, knowing that many learning difficulties can be overcome with extra support in the early years of learning.
If your child has learning needs, please talk to us so that we can indicate the level of support that the school can offer.
Extension and enrichment
We are equally committed to stretching our most able students. While this occurs through literacy and numeracy groups, and through the level system, extension and enrichment also occur through individualised learning plans that provide creative and unique opportunities for students to explore new horizons, while still in the company of their peers. We also offer numerous enrichment activities such as STEM club, science camp, art camp and a range of other one-off activities.

25 Years of Chilcotin Holidays
For over 25 years, Chilcotin Holidays has been bringing people closer to nature and to their true potential through authentic wilderness experiences. From its outset, Chilcotin Holidays has been the real deal of nature experiences. And even after 25 years, we hold true to our focus on real wilderness, real experiences, and real purpose.
Real wilderness
This kind of wilderness is hard to find. From pristine valleys and alpine meadows to rugged, mountainous terrain, this wilderness is as real as it gets. Since 1870, the South Chilcotin Mountains have attracted international clients eager to experience a more authentic kind of wilderness travel. Since our incorporation in 1990, Chilcotin Holidays has sought out ways to honor the legacy of this authentic wilderness. Beginning with horseback riding tours and pack trips, Chilcotin Holidays has continually grown and evolved, much like the wilderness that surrounds us. Today Chilcotin Holidays has 15 diverse branches of the business, ranging from horseback riding tours to guide training and ESL programs. And while our programs may be diverse, they all revolve around awe-inspiring real wilderness, just like our company.
Real experiences
Bringing people into real wilderness naturally leads to real experiences, and that's something we embrace at Chilcotin Holidays. We believe that these kinds of experiences, whether they involve unexpected discoveries, empowering challenges, or sheer wonder, are the catalysts for life-changing encounters with nature. So throughout the past 25 years, Chilcotin Holidays has worked to create a brand of wilderness travel that harnesses these opportunities for growth. We incorporate the concept of real experiences into everything we do, from our pack trips to our wilderness guide training programs. And over the years, we have seen our guests, students, and interns consistently building confidence and moving from strength to strength with each new experience. Because of this success, we have refused to shy away from the real experiences and learning opportunities that nature provides. By continuing to develop nature-based opportunities for building confidence and defining authentic goals, Chilcotin Holidays has created a brand of wilderness experiences that goes far beyond standard wilderness travel.
Real purpose
Everything in nature has a distinct purpose. This is something we strive to emulate in our business model. In each of our activities, Chilcotin Holidays seeks to provide people from all corners of the globe with true nature experiences. With that end goal in mind, we have invested a great deal of time and resources into removing barriers, real or imagined, to true wilderness. From utilizing low-impact pack trips to building confidence in less experienced adventurers, we have spent 25 years developing a form of wilderness travel that empowers people to experience authentic wilderness free of barriers. As part of this, Chilcotin Holidays has woven sustainability and conservation into every facet of our company. We believe that as we provide authentic wilderness experiences for people today, we need to safeguard this wilderness for the people of tomorrow.
As Chilcotin Holidays continues to grow and evolve over the upcoming years, we're confident that we can continue bringing people closer to nature as we hold true to our ideals of real wilderness, real experiences, and real purpose. We invite you to join us and discover what a real nature experience is all about.
The South Chilcotin Mountains, which have long been revered for their pristine environments and abundance of natural resources, were first proposed for protection in 1937. Under the leadership of its founder and owner, Chilcotin Holidays successfully fought for and attained protected status for this wilderness in April of 2001. Chilcotin Holidays continued its conservation efforts and secured a class A provincial park designation for the South Chilcotin Mountains in June of 2010. Thanks to these efforts, the South Chilcotin Mountains Provincial Park will continue to thrive and bring people closer to nature for generations to come.

Be kind to your feet
Despite the fact that over a quarter of the bones in our bodies are in our feet, it is often all too easy to neglect looking after them. They are made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles and 107 ligaments, they take approximately 10,000 steps each and every day, and travel up to 115,000 miles in a lifetime; but feet can still miss out on the attention and care which they need.
Before we discuss the options for improving sore or achy feet, it would first make sense to consider how to avoid this pain in the first place. The most obvious answer is to wear sensible shoes. Unfortunately the most sensible shoe isn't always the most attractive, and often you may have to choose between that new pair of stiletto heels or your flat pumps. Everyone's made the mistake of going out for the evening with friends, and found themselves in agony after only a couple of hours – even with the pain relieving qualities of several alcoholic drinks! Even though we couldn't imagine modern life without them, our feet are not designed to walk in shoes. Post-mortem research on individuals from cultures who wore no shoes has revealed that their feet were much healthier than ours are now; but as we can't really waltz into the office or park without shoes on, the best alternative is to make sure your shoes are sensible and flat – most of the time, at least.
Foot care is a process which you can complete either at a spa or at your own home, so there's really no excuse not to. The simplest treatment would be to immerse your feet your 10 minutes in warm water mixed with salt, which will deal with aches and pains while improving the skin of your feet. Alternatively, why not grab an extra bowl and try swapping between warm and cold water every couple of minutes, as this is proven to furthermore improve blood flow to your feet.
After your soak, you may even want to give yourself a foot massage – or have your other half do it for you! The process is not difficult; begin by applying cream or oil to the hands, and run your hands up and down the tops, instep, and soles of the feet, lightly at first but gradually increasing pressure. Follow this by massaging around and between the toes, and finally wash off any excess cream from the hands.
If you really feel like treating yourself, you may also consider letting the professionals do their thing, and visit a spa. Some spas will even come to your home, and offer a wide range of services. From a basic pedicure offering cuticle treatment and polish (or sturdier minx coverings if you're going on holiday and want lovely nails for the duration!), to removal of hard skin, calluses or in-grown nails; spa treatments offer you the perfect opportunity for some personal relaxation, while also looking after your feet.

I bought a few of these early this year as gifts but accidentally broke one of them and am now short a gift for a group of friends. I keep waiting for it to come back in stock but it's been 3 months now and no luck - perhaps there was truly a limited run and that was it. If you have an extra one and are willing to sell, I'll happily pay a premium for it.

When it comes to food, seeing, smelling and ultimately tasting is believing. They say word of mouth is the best form of marketing, but you've got to do something to get people's mouths moving and the talk going. One thing most people like talking about is good food, but you have to take the first step of getting to the food into your target audience's mouths. Here are some ideas that might help you on your journey to making marketing magic.
Food tasting event
If you've ever been to a food tasting event, you can agree that it is a delightful experience to your taste buds and your tummy. Food tasting events can come in so many forms, whether it be hosting a certain amount of people to a three course meal if you're a chef, creating an entertaining show and serving your food product as one of the starters, or making your product from scratch live so people can be roped into the process of how you make your food and feel the full experience. Find out what the best option is for your target audience and make it happen!
We've all walked passed a cute little kiosk with people holding out trays with tasters on them at malls or large scale events. Most of us have also tasted what was on offer because it was free and we were curious. Having a mobile kiosk and making sure it is present at key events is a great way to get people to taste your product and entice them to buy it. It's also a great way to create familiarity and get your brand out there.
Reviews from key people
When it comes to food, talk is not cheap at all. Getting relevant people within your community to talk about your food will take you a long way! Because we live in a society where people are extremely amiable, it's likely that hearing someone they admire say a certain product is great will drive them to want to try it out themselves. You can achieve this by sending them samples of your food and having them post pictures and reviews online on platform of your choice, and where they have grounds.
These are only a few ideas, so you can be creative and come up with your own. Irrespective of which idea you decide to go with Ensure your product is well packaged and well-made and you won't have an issues winning the hearts of foodies over globally.

I used to work as a cleaner. As a cleaner you don't have to make any descisions since someone has already made them for you. Someone has already planned out the smartest route and the minimum, therefore expected, time to perform each task. All you have to do is move about and perform, until a different kind of robot is invented. You know you're at the bottom when your body is being remote controlled.
I inhabit the world of control that is both the profession and the environment of the school. Everything is diciplined, it is not a place to live in.
And so I try in that state and place to dream of a different identity.

This is a three screen video installation, where the sound of my feet walking the empty school fills the space. On two screens the school is explored at a foot pace and in the middle one my bodily investigations take place.

This week, we're all aware of that Denzel Washington movie and we discuss the NEW "poor man's copyright."
I've been working in the finance industry for 15 years and while I am very good at my job I'm also very, very bored of it. I'm also at a loss when thinking about different avenues for my career. Cooking has brought me joy but the idea of cooking professionally does not appeal to me. I'm also an amateur tarot reader, having practiced for about a year. So my question is – how can I make money and be happy at the same time?
We used the Radiant Rider-Waite by Pamela Coleman Smith and Arthur E. Waite. It's very much just the Rider Waite Deck with muted colors (or as Ben says, "slightly worse"). Radiant means gradient, and we have gradations of color instead of solid blocks. The characters are also a little bit rounder. Ben gives this one a ⭐⭐/5
This Week's 3-Card Tarot Reading
The Past: FIVE OF WANDS | The Present: STAR | The Future: ACE OF SWORDS | Clarifier: KNIGHT OF COINS
Our advice: You have competing internal impulses, and you're not sure which one will take the day (Five of Wands). You feel like you need a guide to point you in the right direction (Star). You'll be going on a new intellectual pursuit (Ace of Swords), but you'll be keeping your old job. You're going to pursue another avenue and it will be purely a passion project, but will help push you into happiness (Knight of Coins).
The Card of the Week
We're using the Hanson-Roberts deck by Mary Hanson-Roberts this week.
Tarot Card of the Week: Ten of Wands
Keywords: Excessive pressures, Problems soon-to-be solved, Striving to meet a goal or to maintain a certain level or position. Possibly using power to selfish ends.
Work with integrity this week. Do what you should, not just what you have to do.

The first Royal Procession including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is 10 minutes away— Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) June 15, 2016
Here is a short history🇬🇧https://t.co/2My8hvNLSg
If that lace looks familiar, it should be. Kate recycled her Dolce & Gabbana lace dress first worn to the Windsor Horse Show to...extremely mixed reviews. I believe I likened the dress, such of it that we could see, to a Miss Havisham ensemble. Today, we could initially only see the bodice, which didn't look too shabby, so I waited with baited breath to know if we had a hit or a terrible miss.It's wonderful to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to #RoyalAscot this afternoon: pic.twitter.com/p6xBSEAGW5— Ascot Racecourse (@Ascot) June 15, 2016
|Via Elliot Wagland
Kate exited the carriage and we had a mixed result. This dress is not as bad as it looked with that bulky swing coat at the WHS. Kate is quite lithe and the fitted bodice went a long way in righting the wrongs done to the dress on its first wear, but I just don't know that I can reconcile myself to that dust ruffle at the bottom. Perhaps if the lace were not such a busy pattern or if the ruffle was not such a tight bunch.
It was an odd ensemble for me and made me think of that Pavarotti song I Hate You Then I Love You. I have vacillated so many times. I think if I didn't already have a deeply rooted antipathy from the first wear, today's scales would tip in favor. The dust ruffle is regrettable, but I still like the overall impact. When you can't stop looking at pictures it must be a win. I will tell you what I love, I love that Jane Taylor hat. It just makes the entire ensemble work.
|Via Ascot Facebook
This is the Una mesh disc hat with feather accents which retailed at over £1,000. It features a beautiful rose just the way roses ought to be featured on hats. ;)
Something about the flair and the way it angles reminds me of some of the hats in The Duchess (such a great movie) particularly this one below. It lends Kate's ensemble almost a period feel, which works at an event like Ascot.
Kate was wearing Gianvito Rossi pumps in praline, carrying her Natalie clutch, and wearing what appear to be new earrings from Kiki McDonough:
In 2013 one of the races was renamed to honor the Duke of Cambridge and today he presented the trophy for the Duke of Cambridge Stakes. The couple were cuter than ever together as they enjoyed an afternoon that had seemingly miraculously cleared of rain. Kate looked radiant as her dapper husband kept her close, continuing to foster relationship envy the world over. :)
Rumor has it we have more surprises coming this week, but if nothing turns up tomorrow this engagement ends a streak of consecutive public engagements for Kate. If so, this was a very strong finish to a succession of successful events. Well done, Kate!

With a built in 'help' and 'clue' system, we were able to smoothly overcome all obstacles within the duration of game play, creating a flawless navigation.
Puzzles: Well thought of. Intriguing
While all of the puzzles were interesting, there was a wide variety of difficulty between them. For experienced Escape Room players, most of the puzzles should feel familiar. One puzzle in particular takes up a significant amount of game time without needing to - the same puzzle strategy is used several times and I'd love to see more variety here.
Game Strengths:
beautiful flow - fun to explore NYC - detailed story line - more than just a 'scavenger hunt' - self paced, independent game - interesting use of landmarks

The puzzles do not build a sense of urgency - this may be created with the use of additional mission game timers at critical moments.

How a Sales Rep Cut Prospecting Time in Half and Closed His Biggest Deal to Date [Case Study]
The advanced features of Sales Navigator make it possible to quickly find and connect with promising buyers, as evidenced by Alex Hanhauser and Sumo Logic.
February 5, 2018
Every sales pro gets the gist of the phrase "beat your opponent to the punch." In a competitive marketplace, getting in with a promising buyer before a rival can mean the difference between meeting and missing quota.
Being the first mover hinges on finding, understanding, and connecting with the right people, and that's precisely what Sumo Logic – a company offering a next-generation, cloud-based IT solution – needed its sales reps to do.
Sumo Logic's technology converts company log data into insights, supporting their clients' operational and security functions. A fast-growing company, Sumo Logic needed a consistent source of promising prospects and an efficient way to research them. By adopting Sales Navigator, Sumo Logic was able to modernize its sales development approach to achieve lead generations goals.
From Lost Time to New Opportunities
Alex Hanhauser can directly testify to the impact of sales technology. Alex joined Sumo Logic straight out of college and, within two years, worked his way up from Sales Development Rep to Corporate Account Executive. According to Alex, Sales Navigator has been his daily go-to sales tool for the three years he's been at Sumo Logic, and was essential in closing his biggest deal to date.
Because Sumo Logic had already deployed Sales Navigator, Alex immediately benefited from its advantages. As he explains: "Using in-depth features, like advanced search based on granular keywords, basically cuts my prospecting time in half, probably more. For example, querying for companies in the high-tech vertical with 0-to-250 employees that have used Amazon Web Services."
Prior to Sumo Logic's adoption of Sales Navigator, old school lead-generation tactics – such as purchasing prospect lists full out of outdated information – were hindering sales. Making matters worse was the effort required to keep up with a shifting prospect landscape. Sales Navigator put an end to those challenges.
Advanced Features Accelerate Prospecting
Other aspects of Sales Navigator help Alex make short work of prospecting. "I find it better than using a ZoomInfo or even a DiscoverOrg, anything like that, because it's a bit more personal," he says. "So you can really figure out what to say to a prospect and make it a bit more tailored to their specific company and what their case may be."
In fact, Alex credits the advanced search feature for helping him find the aforementioned large deal. He says his ability to learn which technology the company was currently using in-house, and shape his insights around that knowledge, proved critical.
Continually Expanding His Network
Alex also appreciates that he can find more profiles than if he were using the free version of LinkedIn. He says his entire sales team finds further value in the fact that Sales Navigator helps surface new connections and referrals, paving the way for warm introductions. As he explains, Sumo Logic's sales team is always growing, and as it expands, so too does every team member's network.
Sumo Logic's search capabilities have expanded as well. "Any sales rep who's trained to find their target can quickly figure out through Sales Navigator what company and what person they should reach out to," adds Alex. "It definitely makes the process easier."

Aside from summers on Cape Cod, Edward Hopper was a lifelong city guy. From his Greenwich Village apartment, he roamed the streets of Manhattan, ducking into theaters and movie houses to sketch their plush interiors, noting shafts of light angled over stoops and walls, studying lonely figures in cafes and gloomy hotel lobbies.
Introverted and taciturn, the painter turned what he observed into strangely haunting images that have lodged deep in the public psyche. Filmmakers from Alfred Hitchcock to Wim Wenders have quoted his work, Madonna's 1993 world tour was inspired by his 1941 painting "Girlie Show," and the Brit-pop band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark mentioned seven of his pictures in their 2013 single "Night Cafe." And then there's Homer Simpson, bellying up to the counter in a cartoon version of Hopper's "Nighthawks."
"It's not just the world of art that he influenced, it's culture," said Walker Art Center curator Siri Engberg, who oversaw the installation of "Hopper Drawing: A Painter's Process." The show opens Friday at the Walker and runs through June 20.
Along with 22 key paintings, the exhibit includes more than 200 drawings spanning Hopper's 60-year career, from precocious student sketches to self-portraits, Parisian scenes, studies and watercolors for the paintings. Multimedia interludes include a filmed interview with the artist and video enactments of several paintings recently produced for French television. Many of the drawings have not been shown before this exhibit, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
Not all of his signature paintings made the trip, however: "Nighthawks" is on loan to another exhibition, and "Girlie Show" is not included.
Early years
The Walker presentation follows a loose, thematic chronology starting with skillful early sketches. Born in Nyack, N.Y., Hopper (1882-1967) took an early interest in the yachts and sailboats built there, turning out bold studies of shipyards and vessels in full sail along with keenly observed still lifes and beautifully modeled nudes. In 1900 he enrolled in the New York Institute of Art and Design, where he trained as an illustrator but fell under the influence of realist painter Robert Henri, who urged students to record not just a scene but also what they felt about it.
Hopper's Parisian moment comes as a surprise in the career of an artist so deeply identified with American motifs. Before 1910 he made three trips to France, filling his sketchbooks with crisp studies of cafe scenes and street characters, clowns, hustlers, boulevardiers. Back in the studio he compiled these types into "Soir Bleu," a memorable surrealist tableau.
Isolation and loneliness are recurrent motifs, whether he's painting the upper stories of buildings glimpsed while riding the elevated train or the claustrophobic interiors that recur throughout his career. Such moods were carefully observed and planned, almost as if he were laying out a film storyboard.
"He would often create up to 20-plus drawings for a given painting, fleshing out the architecture of a scene, working out his point of view, the posture of a figure, how a coffee cup was going to be touched, how fashions were depicted," said Engberg. "He was very conscious of details, and drawings were his means of working them out."
Lipstick in the shadows
The Walker's famous "Office at Night" is a classic example. Painted in 1940, it depicts a couple working late at night. Streetlight falls across a desk at which the man is intently reading a letter and illuminates the corner where a curvaceous woman stands at a filing cabinet. Viewed from above, as if by a security camera, the scene feels ripe with sexual tension and guilty secrets.
Drawings show how the picture evolved, the man growing younger and more absorbed in the letter, the woman's pose more provocative, her lipstick brighter.
Hopper and his wife, Jo, who posed for virtually all of his female figures, kept meticulous records of his paintings, including "Office." Their description, in a ledger displayed nearby, notes "plenty of lipstick" on "Shirley" and mentions an alternative title, "Confidentially Yours," that hints at a possible blackmail theme.
The same records show Hopper picking up a $1,000 prize for the picture at a 1945 exhibition and selling it to Walker Art Center for another $1,000 in June 1949. Asked by the museum for an explanation of the picture, he responded with "some hesitation," because "such writing always seems too inadequate to convey the essence of a picture." But, he added, it was probably inspired by glimpses of enigmatic office encounters he observed from the "el" train at night. The office furniture "has very definite meaning for me," he admitted, and the sources and play of light were important.
"Any more than this, the picture will have to tell, but I hope it will not tell any obvious anecdote, for none is intended." he concluded. The Walker, however, has commissioned two contemporary writers — Laird Hunt and Kate Bernheimer — to imagine scenarios inspired by the painting. They will be serialized on the Walker website starting in April.
Empty roads
Even in the country, loneliness reigns. The houses along "Route 6, Eastham" are empty and still, though the sun is shining merrily. And in one of Hopper's last pictures, "Road and Trees" (1962), nature is reduced to strips of grass, asphalt and sky framing a brooding band of impenetrable trees.
The show ends with paintings and drawings of that most intimate of spaces, the bedroom, a subject he returned to again and again. Typically Jo Hopper is alone there, gazing out a window toward a distant light, but always wrapped in melancholy silence.
"All of the pictures walk that perfect line of revealing a little, but not too much," said Engberg. "He gets your imagination started but keeps everything ambiguous."

Théodore Géricault Artworks
French Painter
Movements and Styles: Romanticism, Naturalism, The Sublime in Art
Born: September 26, 1791 - Rouen, France
Died: January 26, 1824 - Paris, France
Artworks by Théodore Géricault
The below artworks are the most important by Théodore Géricault - that both overview the major creative periods, and highlight the greatest achievements by the artist.
Charging Chasseur (1812)
Artwork description & Analysis: As reflected in the title, Géricault's Charging Chasseur is a large-scale portrait featuring an officer in the French Imperial Guard charging away from the viewer. In the background a battle scene suggests that retreat is underway. The officer is a real life figure, Alexandre Dieudonné, who was a friend of the artist. He is depicted twisting backwards, sword ready, in a dramatically contorted pose.
Oil on canvas - Collection of Musée du Louvre, Paris, France
Male 'académie' Seated and Seen from Behind (c.1816)
Artwork description & Analysis: Géricault painted this work at the beginning of his career while training in the studio of the French Academy painter Pierre-Narcisse Guérin. This complex, atmospheric composition shows off the young artists ambition. The male nude, viewed from behind, is twisted across the canvas. The tension in his intertwined feet unfurls progressively as the eye ascends towards the figure's right hand. The work is dark and brooding other than the whites and yellows of the figure's flesh.
Oil on canvas - Collection of Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen, Rouen, France
Cattle Market (c.1817-20)
Artwork description & Analysis: A small work, Géricault's Cattle Market depicts the scene of a cattle market in an Italian country setting. In the foreground are three men, barely dressed, wrestling with cattle that are resisting their impending slaughter. In the right foreground one of the men has managed to wrestle one bull to the ground with the help of a dog, which he seems to be restraining from attack. In the background, beneath a blue, cloud-filled sky a nude wall and a simple building are depicted, beyond which an idealized landscape sets the scene.
Oil on paper marouflé on canvas - Collection of Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Evening (1818)
Artwork description & Analysis: Géricault's Evening is a pastoral landscape painting of an idealized Italianate setting. Two solitary figures appear in the foreground of a central opening, from which the composition guides the eye down the river, then up to the medieval village and finally across the viaduct and towards the sunset on the left.
Oil on canvas - Collection of Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, New York
The Raft of the Medusa (1818-19)
Artwork description & Analysis: The epic painting The Raft of the Medusa features a gruesome mass of figures afloat at sea, some dead, some struggling for life, in a tangled mass positioned on a crudely-made raft. The only African figure on the raft waves a cloth at the top of a pile of a few men who are struggling to get the attention of a ship in the distance (located on the far right of the horizon line). The sail of the raft is billowing in the wind while being tossed about a choppy ocean beneath a stormy sky. Géricault paid great attention to the details in this work. He even sketched severed body parts in order to make the work as authentic as possible.
Oil on canvas - Collection of Musée du Louvre, Paris, France
Guillotined Heads (c.1818-20)
Artwork description & Analysis: Gericault's Guillotined Heads presents a gruesome depiction of death and decay. The female head on the left has pallid white skin and closed eyes, while the male head is depicted with its mouth and eyes open staring vacantly past the viewer. The jagged, rough marks on the neck reveal the brutal and painful death these figures suffered at the guillotine. Here Gericault shows his brilliant mastery of chiaroscuro, seen in the contrasts of dark and light throughout the composition. The loose brushstrokes used to render both the faces and the cloth add to the work's dramatic appeal.
Oil on canvas - Collection of Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden
Portrait of Mustapha (c.1819-20)
Artwork description & Analysis: This is an important example of the many fine portraits Géricault created throughout his career. The subject was a real Turkish man named Mustapha who had been shipwrecked in France. The artist met him while walking the neighborhood streets of Paris and asked him to be his servant and model.
Oil on canvas - Collection of Musée des Beaux-Arts et d'Archéologie, Besançon, France
The Piper (1821)
Artwork description & Analysis: The Piper provides a detailed rendering of a blind man wearing ragged clothes including an oversized, worn coat and boots. He plays a bagpipe as he walks through an empty and run-down London street, alone except for a small dog who walks behind him tethered to a leash.
Lithograph - Collection of Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris, France
The Monomaniac of Gambling (c.1821-23)
Artwork description & Analysis: The Monomaniac of Gambling features an elderly, haggard woman, with an ill-fitting brown coat. The white of her shirt, barely visible beneath her coat, matches the scarf tied around her head. A crutch resting in her lap is positioned in the lower right of the canvas.
Oil on canvas - Collection of Musée du Louvre, Paris, France

Perfect Jasmine Rice
With the right water to rice ratio, you can make fragrant, perfectly cooked jasmine rice every time.
Named after the sweet-smelling jasmine flower, jasmine rice is a long grain rice native to Thailand with a delicate floral and buttery scent. The secret to cooking it perfectly is getting the right ratio of water to rice. Typically, the instructions on the package call for 1-1/2 cups water for every 1 cup of rice. That's fine if you like your rice "al dente" but I prefer mine soft, so I always add a bit more water. Many recipes call for rinsing the grains before cooking but I don't think it's necessary — even when you rinse jasmine rice, the grains have a slightly sticky texture and cling together.
Perfect Jasmine Rice
With the right water to rice ratio, you can make fragrant, perfectly cooked jasmine rice every time.
- 2-3/4 cups water, plus more if necessary
- 1-1/2 cups jasmine rice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the rice and the salt; cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. Taste the rice; if it is still too firm, add a few more tablespoons of water. Cover the pan and let the rice absorb the water off of the heat.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: This rice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. (Putting it in a flat layer in sealable plastic bags works well as it will take up less space in the freezer.) No need to thaw before reheating; remove it from the freezer and reheat in the microwave with 1 to 2 Tbsp. of water.
Gluten-Free Adaptable Note
To the best of my knowledge, all of the ingredients used in this recipe are gluten-free or widely available in gluten-free versions. There is hidden gluten in many foods; if you're following a gluten-free diet or cooking for someone with gluten allergies, always read the labels of your ingredients to verify that they are gluten-free.

Reviews & Comments
Perfect rice! I have never added rice to boiling water. It came out light and fluffy. The best I've ever made. This is my new method going forward.
Turn out perfect. I had tried to cook jasmine rice before and it never turned out good. I did cook it on low about 20 mins. Thanks
I wound up with a pot full of watery rice…
Not sure what people with the negative comments are doing with this rice recipe. My family asks me to make this rice all of the time. It's absolutely perfect! Thank you, Jenn!
Maybe it's the brand rice they're using?
Perfection! The directions on my package did not say to bring water to a boil prior to adding rice. I did not think the directions sounded correct so googled and got your measurements and directions. Thank you, truly perfect!
Jenn- quick question- do you find when you let the rice sit for 10 mins that helps everything settle and the rice is perfect? Sorry if you already mentioned that but i do find once it sites it is less "mushy" looking – perhaps that might be the issue some people are having- trying to serve it right away? Just curious and again thank you!
Jenn once again your recipes are foolproof!! Perfect white rice! I find brown rice more forgiving but never could quite get my white rice to be in between crunchy or mushy so thank you yet again! I had unexpected company the other night and rushed to your site for a brownie recipe – they were perfect! Thank you so much!! I will be buying your book and hope for more books to come!
Made it for the third time tonight and for the third time it came out perfectly.
9 minutes is too much, ended up with a burned smelly mess. In the future i will use a glass bowl, 1/2 cup rice and 2/3 cups boiling water. Cover snd let sit for 15 minutes.
I have struggled with making rice in the past but this recipe is amazing! I followed it precisely and the rice turned out delicious. The ratio 2-3/4 cups of water to 1-1/2 cups of rice is super important when it comes to making rice. Jasmine rice is also one of my favorites and this recipe helped me with making it the right way!
Also letting the rice absorb the water on a low heat helps it to be light and fluffy rather than overly wet and soggy.
How is this the no 1 recipe? This produces goopy overcooked mush.
The internet is going to hell.
If you're going to give people a recipe that is wrong because "you like it soft", put it in the title or something.
Please mind your manners. If you have a better recipe, you are free to post it. Otherwise, you should be thanking this chef for her free recipe.
Unfortunately, With 2-3/4 cups of water the rice came out soggy and over cooked.
Hands down the BEST rice I have ever cooked. Served with Kalua pork and everyone thought it was delicious and cooked to perfection.
Thank you for what will now be my forever recipe for perfect jasmine rice. 🥰
Great recipe, I always cook my jasmine rice like this, perfect every time.
It really is so simple I wonder if some read the quantities wrongly.
2-3/4 = two and three quarters cups of water
1-1/2 = one and a half cups of rice.
I always rinse rice and drop into boiling water wait for it to come back to boil, stir ONCE put on tight lid and leave well alone for 15 mins.
First I want to thank you for this recipe because I have been searching for one that doesn't give me mushy rice. Your recipe is perfect just perfect. Better than following the directions on the bag or box. I was skeptical but tried it anyway and so glad I did.
I rinsed the rice beforehand and it did not make the rice too soft since I always do this step.
Also, I used one cup of Jasmine and 1/2 of brown rice.
Be skeptical, but give a try because you just never know.
When It comes it comes to Jasmine rice you do want to clean the rice and rinse it with water before boiling. You will definitely get perfect quality jasmine sticky rice.
Always a success!
Hello, what are your measurements for cooking 3 cups of rice? Not using the 1.5:1 ratio. I like how your ratio came out better! Thank you
Just made this – absolute fluffy perfection! Thank you for this awesome recipe!
Hi Jen.
Is it possible to make rice ahead of time earlier day of event? If so, how best to store for a few hours and then reheat?
I was looking for arguments for/against rinsing rice and found this page. I was surprised about the arsenic comments I thought rinsing was to remove dust. Regarding the amount of water, I learned at my local asian store that rice like beans can be new or old and might require more or less water. I usually follow the recommended ratio and write down the adjustments for the current bag. Next bag check again…
Hi Jen, the reason you rinse the rice a few times or soak it, is to rid it of arsenic.Here is one article among many on the internet:https://www.nomeatathlete.com/arsenic-in-rice/
Love all your recipes! So glad i found you website.
All the best from Copenhagen
I've always made my rice in the microwave or in the oven as stove top was too much guesswork. This recipe worked perfectly!!! Followed it exactly as written. Beautiful jasmine rice. And it was served to Chinese guests who love their jasmine rice. Thanks, Jenn!
Hey, as far as i know, they recomend rinsing the rice also because rice has in most cases a lot af arsenic in it. By rising or soaking it you can get rid of some of that (also soaking reduces the cook time and makes it more tender, like beans, but I've never tried that either)
Anyways, thanks for the tips 🙂
It didn't work for me. Again. Help!
I never had any problem with cooking rice for over 30 years. I used different types, uncle Bens converted rice, basmati rice, even no name and bulk rice from a supermarket or from a Chinese store … but I decided to try Thai Jasmine rice. Premium price. No matter how carefully I cook it there is a tiny hard central nub that stays there. With other rice I used 2 to 1 water to rice ratio with a tiny bit extra water. Or with basmati I cooked it in extra water then decanted the extra water. It always worked. When I tried the 2:1 with Jasmine rice, it was too sticky and gummy. ( no instructions on the container). So I tried the 1.5 to 1 ratio. The overall texture was much better but it still had a tiny hard core. What could be the problem?
I have never been able to cook rice. Ever. Unless it's boil in the bag and even then I can ruin it if I'm not careful. This recipe is a game-changer. So glad I tried it and now I use it at least once a fortnight. I love being able to cook food at home that I wouldn't usually attempt because I found cooking rice so intimidating.
I followed the recipe exactly as it is and this is the best Jasmine rice I've ever had! Thank you!
If the ratio is 1:1-1/2, why does this call for 2-3/4 cups water? I trusted the recipe and went with it but now have soup and its the last of my rice 😭
I've made this rice so many times – and it always comes out perfect. Perhaps your measurements were incorrect and that's why it came our like soup?
This turned out awfully. Not sure if I messed up by stirring the rice while simmering, but many of the creations remained under hooked and crunchy while some others were over cooked. I chose to follow this recipe based on the good reviews but I regret it.
wrong type of cooking pans results in undercook food or scoarched food ……try heavy duty pans,cast iron , thick copper coated ones , NO cheap pans like sets for $30 or $40 because they wont work , only for beginners learning basic cooking like breakfast
Came out maybe 3/4 cooked.
I made this and it came out absolutely delicious! This is now my go to recipe for when I make Jasmine rice. Thank you!!
Hello everyone! This recipe is wonderful! My rice cooker went kapootz 2 week ago! I thought I'd try to cook it on the stove (scary thought for me). This recipe worked out perfectly. The ratio is also perfect. The rice was cooked exactly the way we like it. It was so fluffy. I have made it twice since with the same excellent results. I am so happy I found this recipe. Thank you, Jenn.
Yes, we got perfectly cooked jasmine rice based on Jenns suggestions, thank you Jenn!
I just have to say that this recipe for Jasmine rice came out perfect and amazing! Thank you so very much! I cannot tell you the countless times I have ruined all rice. I have a very picky 10 year old daughter who only likes the rice at our "Thai" restaurant. She and my husband told me it was exactly like the restaurant. I made this with your incredible Chicken Satay recipe that also came out EXACTLY like our fav Thai restaurant. Was such a great surprise for recipes to actually come out. Your amazing!! Thank you.
I really need to know what select brand of Jasmine rice will have the line in the grain of rice after it's done.
It turned out absolutely perfect! I had it as a side to what everyone seems to agree is Salmon Katsu. This is the first time I've made jasmine rice and I felt so proud of myself. It really helped boost my confidence in cooking as I had lost it when I failed to cook brown rice perfectly (multiple times) despite following multiple recipes. I will most likely end up gushing about this good feeling to my therapist when I see her next week.
Years ago I used to eat African rice dishes that used jasmine rice when I dated an African man. I tried countless times to duplicate the rice. Every jasmine recipe I tried, the rice came out mushy or cooked too much. For the first time in years I have found the perfect recipe. I just add some olive oil and little extra salt and boil it with few onion slices for extra flavor. Thank you for posting correct rice cooking directions! I'm so happy lol
This jasmine rice recipe really is "Perfect". I had always struggled making rice before on the stovetop & this recipe is my new go to – works every time. I used it with Beef & Broccoli & Curry chicken dish from this site. Easy & exactly as you've written it out – thanks Jenn!!!
This recipe works every time. Jasmine rice has such a lovely flavor. It even smells great raw.
So looking forward to the cookbook. Every recipe I have ever tried from this website has been five stars, every single one!!
I'm rice challenged and can't ever get a good batch of rice. This recipe worked perfectly & I finally have delicious moist rice!
In your recipe for jasmine rice, you say if the rice is still firm, add a few tablespoons of water and let it cook/absorb off the heat. do you mean it should not be simmering still but rather off the burner but keeping rice covered, allowing heat to absorb this extra water?
Perfect perfect. This recipe made a perfect jasmine rice and I added a touch more water because I wanted softer rice.
Hi there! I thought this would be a great side for our second round of Thai chicken grilled skewers (such a winner with the fam!!) – I had heard from a friend of mine that she cooks her jasmine rice with coconut milk and chicken broth. Do you have any suggestions for doing so? Will it be too sweet?
Thanks again for the wonderful recipes!
Thank you for the instructions I opted for the soft and fluffy and added a little more water and it came out divine! I also added my own twist and instead of salt added chicken knorr powder! thanks again! So fast and easy. It was my third time making any type of rice!
Can you use the same measurements for brown rice?
If I want to 3X this recipe — would the water/rice ratio stay the same?
Can I make this in my rice cooker? I don't have much success cooking rice on the cooktop.
Do you know what that ratio might be?

Make your next yoga holiday an unforgettable one. Make it a life-changing experience.
The Alps cut right through Switzerland, making the majority of this tiny country a mountainous one. The mountains jut up into the sky so high that one of them is world-famous and inspired a ride at the Disneyland theme park: the Matterhorn. Many people who live in Switzerland are incredibly active outdoors, as you can imagine. You will find hiking, trekking, skiing, snow-shoeing, and more to do in Switzerland. All of it with incredible views along the way.
Switzerland has super-efficient public transportation. You can easily find public transit heading to basically anywhere you want to go. The best part? All those trains have views of the Swiss Alps.
Everyone has heard of the melty cheese dish, Fondue, that Switzerland is known for. But the original fondue is worth a taste. It's not anything like what you will taste anywhere else and it is the only dish that is reliably available throughout the country.
Switzerland produces some of the best quality chocolate in the entire world, so obviously, it had to be on this list. Though to be fair, it is rumored that Switzerland gets its cacao from Ecuador. So who really deserves the credit is up for debate.
If you're looking for a restorative wellness retreat or a detox retreat, then you will be happy to know that Switzerland is loaded with thermal baths. All those mountains sit atop hot earth that bubbles to the surface through the thermal baths. The Swiss have captured that magic and put it into luxurious indoor spas and pools for guests to enjoy on demand.
Heading to Switzerland can be a big decision. It is a pricey country that has luxury as a set standard. Often times, a double room still may not be affordable!
Well, fear not.
You can easily design the perfect yoga vacation for yourself by searching for yoga studios that offer daily yoga classes of a specific type of yoga style, such as hatha yoga, restorative yoga, yin yoga, vinyasa flow yoga, ashtanga yoga, or Iyengar yoga. You can also search for retreat centers that offer certain treatments that you might be looking for, such as massage, meals, spa treatments, or detox programs.
You could even search for a retreat center that has pillow-top mattresses and en-suite bathrooms! It's up to you, it's your yoga holiday.
Still not sure where to begin your journey? Check out the most popular yoga retreats happening in Switzerland right now:
If you are looking to heal your body and mind, then consider heading to a wellness retreat. A retreat that focuses on your health and well-being will often include so much more than a daily yoga session at the yoga studio. Instead, it will often include healthy meals that support a light detox, massage spa treatments, and yoga meditation workshops.
Many yogis deepen their yoga and meditation practice by escaping to the countryside of Switzerland for a yoga meditation retreat. Reach out to the retreat center to ask about the meditation style of the yoga teacher to get more information. A yoga and meditation retreat in the Swiss Alps just might be the most incredible experience ever.
European yogis (and all Europeans, really) head to Switzerland for their weekend retreats. It is mostly too expensive to live in but it is just perfect for a luxurious weekend getaway. If you are traveling around Europe and you want to visit Switzerland without breaking the bank, then a weekend retreat is perfect for you.
For yogis looking for a total life makeover, head to Switzerland for a proper detox retreat. You will be able to burn some toxins the Swiss Alps, heal your body in a thermal bath, and find a luxurious detox program. Many of these programs include a daily yoga schedule and informative workshops as well.

I guess you could hang this on the back of a chair or a sofa. I made it for my dinning room table. The perfect size is this 36″ square. The baskets are pieced. The birds are cotton applique.
