Pasta Straws as an Eco-friendly Alternative to Plastic

For the benefit of the environment, in an eco-friendly future in the works, plastic straws need to become outdated. Already, a viable alternative has been introduced by eco-friendly environmentalists which is pasta straws. Plastic straws have a bad reputation for obvious reasons and disposable straws made from plastic do not decompose easily.

Pasta straws have been a viable alternative for some years now with companies established to produce and promote the product for the safety it represents for the environment. Water and wheat are the only ingredients in pasta straws; there's nothing else. As a result, this straw is completely vegan and safe to use. It does, however, contain gluten (wheat), thus gluten-intolerant people should avoid it. For more information about pasta straws, visit pasta-straw.com.

Hot Emulsified Sauces

In French cuisine, sauces are a very important part of a recipe—not just a side dish. In fact, they’re so important that, especially since the time of Auguste Escoffier, they’ve been classified into categories. And among these categories are “hot emulsified sauces,” or lukewarm ones. ...

Hot Dishes and Cold Dishes

When plating or serving a dish—whether hot or cold—on a plate, it’s very important to make sure they’re both the right temperature; in other words: if the dish is hot, the plate should be hot, and conversely, if the dish is cold, the plate should be cold. Is this really important? Let’s...
