(11)

Having spent more than twenty years in the hospitality and food industry, the universe pushed me in the direction I had been talking about for many years, and Relish your Thyme was born. Opening our doors in mid-September 2014, we are a company who is passionate about healthy, preservative free, home cooked meals .These freshly prepared meals are delivered to your preferred delivery address, ready

to heat and enjoy after a long day. I understand there is a need for busy, Moms, professionals, and those who just don’t have the time or inclination to cook for themselves every day. I have a menu that is different daily, with a choice of two dishes a day, for the whole month and is changed completely again the next month, taking into consideration what is in season and at its freshest for that period. There is no need to be worried about being tied into contracts etc., you can have one meal a month or every day for your entire family, with just an 18 hour lead time. The more meals you have that month, the cheaper the meals become. Special dietary requirements are taken into account and we work around these, by substituting ingredients, or items, where needed. We cater for functions, dinner parties, platters; you name it, we will do it for you. Being a small enterprise, but still having the contacts of over twenty years industry experience, we are able to adapt to the needs of our client and be flexible with product and also with budget. Since opening our doors in September, we have opened a second branch (on the 02 February 2015), as well as a coffee shop, in the Fury Ford dealership on Witkoppen Rd, in Paulshof.

It's time to have some family fun and memories. This is a tradition in our family for many years for the family to get-together and decorate gingerbread. When my late mother passed away, I took on the job of keeping on the tradition of gingerbread going. Start your own memories with your family, we supply an entire kit to decorate gingerbread.
Send me a message on 0845590052, and enjoy this special time.

Peel boiled eggs in a big batch
Time to put all your eggs in one basket — or, uh, one pot or other crockery.
Peel multiple hard-boiled eggs at a time by shaking them in any lidded container. Smash, bang, boom! Shells are cracked and ready to shake right off.
The eggs won’t be pretty, but they will be ready for an egg salad much quicker than traditional methods.

Pit stone fruits with a twist
Cut stone fruits, such as plums and nectarines, into two equal halves, then twist the halves in opposite directions. Use your thumb to pop out the pit.
If your thumb doesn’t do the job, gently pry it out with a butter knife, or cut the fruit into quarters for easier separating.

Peel potatoes without a peeler
Time to ditch the peeler again! Peel a potato in a snap by boiling it for a few minutes, then giving it an ice bath — a method known as blanching. The skin will separate from the potatoey center so you can pick it right off.

Peel citrus fruits without the mess
There’s only one downside to eating an orange: the tedious task of peeling it. To avoid the mess and frustration, roll citrus fruits and/or microwave them for a minute for easy peeling. (Just be careful to not burn yourself!)

Brand new week new tips;
Save cut fruit from browning
You’ve probably heard that a little squeeze of lemon juice can keep apple slices from looking unappetizing. A mixture of 1 part honey to 2 parts water works much the same way to keep fruit from browning.
Ever wonder why this works? The citric acid and vitamin C in lemon juice and a peptide in honey slow down the oxidation process that causes discoloration.

Skim the fat
Spoon out excess fat from stocks, stews, and sauces by skimming a few ice cubes (wrapped in a paper towel or cheese cloth) along the surface of the liquid. The ice helps the fat solidify, making it easier to remove with a spoon (or even a piece of toast).

Easily scoop out squash seeds
Remove seeds from vegetables like squash and pumpkin with an ice cream scoop. Because the edge of the scoop is sharp, it cuts through the fibrous, gooey stuff inside the squash better than your hand or a regular spoon.

Check if eggs are still (incredibly) edible
Your nose alone won’t always tell you if eggs have gone bad. To find out, gently place uncooked eggs in a bowl of cold water. If an egg sinks to the bottom, it’s A-OK. If it floats, it’s seen better days.
Over time, the liquid inside eggs evaporates through the porous shell, leaving a gas bubble inside. The floatier it is, the older it is.

Eggs are a hot topic at the moment, here are a few egg hacks!
Never wrestle eggshell wrestle eggshell pieces again
No one likes crunchy pieces in their cake or brownies. But grabbing a bit of eggshell that’s fallen into batter can turn into a wild goose chase, as it seems to squirm out of your reach like a wily tadpole.
We’ve got two solutions. For one, just wet your fingers and reach right in. (Simple, but it really works!)
For a cleaner alternative, scoop up bits of broken eggshell with half of your already-cracked egg. The shell acts as a magnet to draw up shell pieces without wasting too much egg.

Get creative with covering food
They’re known for hair hackery, but shower caps’ usefulness isn’t limited to keeping your lovely tresses dry. Cover leftovers with a clean cap (right in their dishes) to prevent air particles from turning food stale.
Not only are shower caps reusable, they’re a heckuva lot easier than repeatedly removing and replacing plastic wrap or tin foil. And they just might make you giggle when you see them in your fridge.

Avoid plastic wrap disasters
Had enough of wrangling plastic wrap? Store the roll in the fridge to cover leftovers with less of a hassle. Chilling the wrap temporarily reduces its stickiness.

Prevent brown sugar from hardening
Ugh, the worst: You go make cookies, only to find your brown sugar hardened into crusty nuggets (or a single rock-hard candy mountain). Help brown sugar stay soft and scoopable by tossing an orange peel or a slice of apple along with the sugar into an airtight container.
Or, for a quick fix, microwave brown sugar next to a small glass of water. The moisture the water released into the microwave will help break up the block of sugar.

Peel that papery skin from ginger
No need to pry off ginger’s knobby skin with a peeler. Ginger root skin is actually quite delicate and can be scraped off with a teaspoon.

Our next tip in saving in the Kitchen
Speed up ripening
Be a total magician and morph a banana from green to yellow (or a peach from crunchy to juicy) with the help of a paper bag. When fruit is tossed into the bag, concentrated ethylene gas helps it ripen faster.

Have a great weekend, have a look at our website for our next weeks delicious meals, www.relishyourthyme.co.za

Next tip in our Kitchen hacks:
Give bananas a longer life
Keep bananas fresh for longer by wrapping the end of the bunch with plastic wrap. Better yet, separate each banana. Both tactics block ethylene gases from releasing out of the stem, thereby ripening the fruit too fast.

Never have to worry about food going off if you get meals from us, www.relishyourthyme.co.za

Second tip in our Kitchen hacks is.
Slow down rotting
Store tomatoes stem end down to keep them from spoiling as quickly. This prevents air from entering and moisture from exiting the scar where the tomato once attached to the vine.
Oh, and the advice to never store a tomato in the fridge? Debunked! Recent research revealed that the method of storage (fridge versus countertop) didn’t significantly affect taste or juiciness of tomatoes.

First tip is: Get hold of us for your meals on www.relishyourthyme.co.za, second tip is
Keep potatoes white
Cover shredded or diced potatoes with cold water before cooking to prevent the spuds from turning that gross grayish/brown caused by the release of a starch that makes them oxidize.
