Preparation Top cocktail companies begin getting to know their clients with questions that might remind you of The Newlywed Game: What’s your favorite dessert? Where did you meet? What’s the father of the bride’s favorite Scotch? That’s how they build the foundation of creating a hyperspecific-to-you drink experience for your wedding reception. Engaged in Italy? Expect Tuscan wines. Milkshake-obsessed? Look for a creamy cocktail. “A real expert isn’t someone who forces his opinion on you,” says Talmadge Lowe of L....
We had some yellowtail sashimi the other day so I made Yellowtail Sushi Roll as appetizer. Unlike other kinds of sushi roll, this thin roll (we call it Hosomaki 細巻き) is really easy to make. Plus, these are not inside-out rolls (裏巻き) which require a bit more practice, so it’s perfect if you are trying to make sushi for the first time. Yellowtail Sushi Roll With a high fat content and buttery tender texture, sushi grade yellowtail (or Hamachi) is greatly enjoyed in Japan in sashimi or in sushi roll....

Even better, metallic makeup is often effortless and unfading....

Many event venues provide the tablecloths and napkins, but if you’re looking for something a little more special (or your venue doesn’t happen to have their own supply of linens), your only options are to rent or buy them....
Preparation When you buy groceries, you want them to last. Fresh vegetables may stay fresh anywhere from a few days to a week depending on their type, jams and condiments last much longer, and dry packaged goods like pasta or grains and canned goods much longer still. No matter what type of food you have, proper storage-whether in the refrigerator or the pantry-will extend shelf life and preserve quality. Food science specialist Donald Schaffner, Ph....
