  • 20 of the Best Food Tours Around the World
    News Opinion Sport Culture Lifestyle Travel UK Europe US More Top 20s 20 of the best food tours around the world Feast your eyes on these foodie walking tours, which reveal the flavours – and culture – of cities from Lisbon to Lima, Havana to Hanoi The Guardian Wed 26 Jun 2019 14.19 BST EUROPE Porto Taste Porto’s tours are rooted in fundamental beliefs about the gastronomic scene in Portugal’s second city. First, Portuenses like to keep things simple: so, no fusion experiments. Second, it’s as much about the people behind the food, as the food itself. “Food is an expression of culture,” says US-born Carly Petracco, who founded Taste Porto in 2013 with her Porto-born husband Miguel and his childhood buddy André. “We like to show who’s doing the cooking, who’s serving the food, who’s supplying the ingredients, and so on.” She’s good to her word. Walking the city with one of the six guides feels less like venue-hopping and more like dropping in for a catch-up with a series of food-loving, old friends. Everywhere you go (whether it’s the Loja dos Pastéis de Chaves cafe with its flaky pastries or the Flor de Congregados sandwich bar with its sublime slow-roasted pork special) the experience is as convivial as it is culinary. And it’s not just food either. Taste Porto runs a Vintage Tour option that includes a final stop at boutique wine store, Touriga, where the owner David will willingly pair your palate to the perfect port.

  • A Guide to Wuyi Mountain Cliff Tea
    A Guide to Wuyi Mountain Cliff Tea Wuyi Cliff Tea was my first romance, and much of why I fell in love with the Leaf. I have traveled to Wuyi every year since, and written and spoken extensively on the subject. Here in this guide I have gathered together interviews, translations and excerpts from several articles friends, as well as experts and I myself have written over the years. Together it forms a nice collage of Wuyi and its famous Cliff Tea. I’d like to thank all of those interviewed as well as the authors that allowed their writing to be translated and/or reprinted herein. -Wu De or hundreds of years tea lovers have followed tradition of holiness and the smell of antiquity to the a journey leading into the northern wilderness of area.

  • Herbal Iced Tea Recipe Below
    Hot weather got you down? – Try this iced tea recipe! What do you tend to drink when the weather is hot? Do you find yourself reaching for drinks like pop, iced tea, and juice? Canada’s Food Guide recommends making water your drink of choice and the World Health Organization warns about the dangers of high added sugar intake such as heart disease, diabetes and dental cavities. But some days you may want something a little more flavorful than water. You could try an infused water recipe - look back to our long weekend barbecue post for some ideas on that. But if you’re really craving something with a bit more flavor than water, consider trying this herbal iced tea recipe below. The Heart & Stroke foundation recommends you consume no more than 10% total calories per day from added sugars, and ideally less than 5%. For someone who eats 2,000 calories a day, 10% is about 48 grams (or 12 teaspoons) of added sugars. Now let’s take a look to see how various beverage options compare to this recommendations… Sugar Content Comparison: 250 mL water 0 g sugar 237 mL Coca cola 26 g sugar 240 mL fruit punch (minute maid) 24 g 250 mL iced tea (lemon nestea) 21.5 g 250 mL of recipe below 7.5 g You can see how quickly we can exceed the recommended maximum added sugar intake when drinking sweetened beverages. This is why health guidelines recommend using water as your main hydration source. But if you want something fun and flavorful for a change of pace this recipe is here for you with less than half the sugar of other sweetened beverages… Ingredients: 4 herbal tea bags (I like to use summer berry tea) 3 green tea bags 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (to taste) 3 tablespoons honey Steps: 1.
