Easter Flower Symbolism Explained

Preparation Easter is a celebration of rebirth. We start to see the first signs of life in the early months of spring, between March and April, when flowers begin to bloom and animals give birth to their young. After the long winter, the canvas of vivid colors and pastels—and yes, that fresh fragrance of blooming plants—contributes to the idea of waking up in a new world filled with promise. Historians once believed that Easter had connections to the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and fertility Eostre, but newly-discovered facts tell a different story....

Green Tea Smoothie

Today I’m sharing one of my favorite smoothies and it’s Matcha Smoothie (抹茶スムージー). Summer is just around the corner and I thought some of you might be interested in healthier food and drink menus. If you’ve been reading Just One Cookbook for a while, you know how much I love matcha (green tea powder) and it seems right to start sharing smoothie recipes using matcha. Difference Between Matcha and Green Tea Leaves Before I start, I want to mention once again that matcha (or green tea powder) is NOT something you can make by grinding green tea leaves that you normally drink at home or in a restaurant....

How To Get Rid Of Summer Garden Pests

Preparation Watching your flower beds come to life and your fresh vegetables grow into maturity in summer is incredibly satisfying. Far less pleasant, however, is seeing the fruits of your labor ravaged by pests and critters that have made their way into your yard. Since gardens play an important role in your local ecosystem, using a commercial pesticide isn’t the answer. In fact, Melissa Ozawa, former features and gardening editor at Martha Stewart, says that pesticides have been shown to negatively impact our health over time, and their use can affect other unintended targets (like birds and fauna that thrive among flowers and trees)....

How To Make Cold Brew Coffee At Home

Preparation Now that summer is upon us, one of our go-to beverages on a hot day is cold brew coffee. Cold brew coffee is a variation on iced coffee, but generally has a sweeter and more mild flavor due to the extraction process. In short, iced coffee is essentially chilled brewed coffee; as it cools, the bitter, acidic flavors of the coffee become more pronounced. By contrast, cold brew is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for up to one day....

Korean Soy Sauce

Korean soy sauce (Gan-Jang) refers to soy sauce produced the Korean method. It’s brewed slightly differently from the Japanese version. It’s primarily used in cooking such as marinating, stir-frying, and braising. To cook Korean food with integrity, I think it’s important to use Korean soy sauce. Soy sauces from other countries are made for their respective cuisines. The taste and uses can differ significantly, which will alter your cooking. While it may be convenient to use one kind for all types of Asian cooking, I recommend buying Korean soy sauce if you cook Korean cuisine often....
