Sure enough, when the recipe arrived, we saw right away what makes it different: The cauliflower is cooked in cream and then pureed. McNee often adds a pinch of sugar, which brings out the natural essence of the vegetable. Then he bakes it at a low temperature so it gently rises and doesn't fall when it cooks.

Article & Recipe: Tea cuisine


"Tea can do many things for you," Gold added. "The tannins in tea can be used to balance sweetness or richness in other ingredients. Tea can add depth of flavor to a dish, complexity or brightness. It can be used to tease flavors out, to bridge between different disparate ingredients or highlight certain aspects of a dish."
