  • Salad Dressing Ratios
    Salad Dressing Ratios L E T ' S E X P L O R E H O W T O M A K E S A L A D D R E S S I N G ! Recipes are a wonderful way to teach yourself how to cook, but sometimes you might be missing an ingredient or you might want to try making up your own recipe. The best way to improvise and create your own recipe is by understanding how different factors can change how food works together. For example fat, salt, acid and heat can all drastically change how our food combines and tastes. Fat Salt Acid Heat Remember the TWK@Home activity (Becoming a Sensory Sleuth) where we learned about “sweet”, “salty”, “sour”, and “bitter” and how each of those elements of taste work together in all sorts of things we eat. Chocolate pretzels are a classic example of salty and sweet, and the combination is what makes them taste so good! The best recipes combine the perfect amount of these flavors to create the food we love. Sweet Salty Sour Bitter When making your own salad dressing you want to find a similar balance. But how do you know how much of each ingredient to use without a recipe? Find more TWK@Home activities at tastewisekids.org Written by Kiah Gibian That's where understanding ratios comes in! A ratio is a way to explain how much of one thing there is compared to another thing. For example a good dressing ratio is: 3 parts Oil and 1 part Vinegar or 3 to 1 or Oil 3:1 Vinegar "Parts can be cups, tablespoons or even liters.

  • Drizzle Some Vincotto Published on Iitaly.Org (
    Do as the Romans Do: Drizzle Some Vincotto Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Do as the Romans Do: Drizzle Some Vincotto N. L. (July 14, 2015) If you ask any Italian chef what Vincotto is, they will answer that it is an elixir, a sweet and velvety concoction similar to balsamic vinegar with the subtle overtones of spices, grapes and plums. Italy always has some new and exciting culinary surprises... but what is special about this one is that it is not really that new... it has been around for ages... the fact is it is not sold in any grocery store, you may only find it in specialty shops and markets or online. Vincotto, literally “cooked wine,” is really something unique. If you ask any Italian chef what Vincotto is, they will answer that it is an elixir, a sweet and velvety concoction similar to balsamic vinegar with the subtle overtones of spices, grapes and plums. Its history definitely goes back in time: the Romans used to cook grape must to produce wines that, because of their relatively high alcohol levels, could be aged at great length. It was with the same objective in mind that they pressed partly dried grapes and fermented the juice to produce raisin wines. Page 1 of 2 Do as the Romans Do: Drizzle Some Vincotto Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) They called them defructum passum or caroleum, depending on their manner of production and degree of reduction. It is not certain that they made vinegars with the same process, but it appears highly probable that they did.

  • Italian Grapes
    Balsamic Vinegar (Aceto Balsamico) General Overview Balsamic vinegar is a traditional-flavor vinegar commonly used in Italian cuisine. It is also used as a salad dressing when combined with oil. Unlike common vinegars, it is dark and thick with a complex, sweet taste and is much more expensive. In its long-aged forms (at least 10 and even up to 25 years) it is often taken straight or served over strawberries or ice cream, while the more mass-market vinegar (usually aged 3 years or less) is used in salad dressings and marinades. It is produced from the concentrated juice (“must”) of white grapes (typically trebianno grapes) that has been boiled down to approximately 50% of its original volume, and fermenting that into alcohol. This is then once again fermented to balsamic vinegar, with a slow aging process that concentrates the flavors. The flavor is intensified over decades, with the vinegar being kept in the fine wooden casks, becoming sweet, viscous and very labor intensive to produce; while it ages and gradually evaporates, the liquid is transferred to successively smaller casks made of different woods, absorbing the flavor characteristics of each wood and becoming more concentrated with each transfer. Oak, mulberry, chestnut, cherry, juniper, and ash are the most commonly used woods. Some older balsamic vinegar is added to the “must” to create a core complex and intricate taste, and to add acidity. History and Background It is a traditional product originating in Modena, where it has been made since the Middle Ages and the Italian government protects the name.
