Kikkoman Aji-Mirin - 10 oz.

I first ordered this to try out after purchasing The Vegenomicon, which had recipes using it. It sounded intriguing, something different, so I ordered from Amazon, I can't find it in my area. It's a sweet rice cooking wine and there's a lot you can do with it, I don't limit myself to cookbooks. I've been ordering it from Amazon ever since. Those who love to cook will love this product.

Hard to rate this. It is what it is. I had a recipe that called for Mirin and I didn't see it at the supermarket. This led to my ordering it online and I've been pleased with the results.

The product was as described and what I needed, but the shipping was a little on the slow side, and the box was absolutely demolished by the time it got to me. I don't know how the bottle didn't break. It looked like somebody kicked a field goal with the box.

Terre Exotique Diamond Salt Fleur De Sel From Kashmir

I received my first bottle of this Viking Smoked Salt as a stocking stuffer. I like to cook and I started using it w/everything! I feel this really enhances the flavor of the veggies. It is especially delicious on roasted vegetables.

1. Turn oven on to broil.

2. Prepare a baking pan with foil.

3. Lay out my veggies (asparagus, brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc) in a single layer.

4. Douse with extra virgin olive oil (evoo).

5. Sprinkle liberally with Viking Smoked Salt.

6. I sometimes add ground black pepper and ground garlic.

7. I leave the veggies in there till they start to get golden brown but I really like them kinda charred... About 8-14 mins.

I have also used in sauteing vegetables (mushrooms, green beans, brussel sprouts, etc)

1. Turn on stove to a medium high fire.

2. Prepare a large frying pan with evoo (just enough to cover the expanse of the pan).

3. When oil starts to separate, drop in vegetables.

4. Coat veggies w/oil from pan (add more if needed). I also sometimes add a few pats of butter for taste.

5. Sprinkle with Viking Smoked Salt.

6. Keep mixing the veggies.

7. I turn off the fire when the veggies are al dente(still a little bit crisp) but that is up to you...

Salt is just salt? Not really. Few things this expensive are worth it. This is

This product is advertised as smoked salt. It is, indeed, smoked salt.

What the seller fails to tell us is that curry, onion, and black pepper are also ingredients.

It is more like onion salt and may be good for a rub, but it is definitely not what I thought I was purchasing.

I contacted the seller and their response was "The ingredients are indeed salt, curry, onion, and pepper, which is not an indication that this product is not smoked salt."

I cannot recommend this seller.

French Cassoulet Reflets De France-Cassoulet - 55,73 Oz

I am a cassoulet enthusiast and I find Reflet de la France produce one of the best products. I was impatiently waiting for delivery after making the order and paying for it when everything went wrong.

What went wrong; well it seems I live in the wrong place and even Amazon cannot do anything to help.

I live in Colombia (South America) and French products like cassoulet have a complicated delivery pattern; firstly a delivery from the French manufacturer to Amazon in the USA and then a 2nd delivery from Amazon USA to a specialised courier service in Florida for onwards delivery to Colombia. Needless to say all of this costs an arm and a log and you need to really want the product to undertake such an order.

The initial delivery from the French agent to Amazon USA went like Swiss clockwork; just 3 days, very hard to beat. The onwards delivery from Amazon USA to Florida courier service was similarly efficient. But then came the bad news. The Florida courier service informed us Colombia refuse entry to all canned goods and perishable items, so cassoulet fails on 2 counts. None of this is Amazon or Reflet de la France's fault, it is all about "need to know" information but I felt "pixxed off". Throwing good food into a garbage cart is not my idea of good fun.

Hawaii Roasters 100% Kona Coffee, Medium Roast, Whole Bean, 7-Ounce Bag

I have been sampling the 100% Kona coffees at Amazon for a few months and this is easily the best so far. Instead of fancy, expensive, pretentious packaging they obviously put their money into delivering a superior product.

I am sticking with this one!

PS I like the Dark roast the best

I purchased this for my parents as a xmas present. Since our visit to Hawaii they are in love with Kona coffee and say that no other coffee compares. Unfortunately it is rare to find 100% Kona coffee on the main land. You mostly find Kona "blend". This item was a little expensive for the small amount but my parents have been raving about grinding fresh Kona coffee every morning (on their little island in Michigan!) so it seems to be worth the price.

This item shipped when it said it would. It's winter so the beans stayed cold.

Superb quality coffee beans. The aroma is amazing and the taste is devine. My only issue is the quantity of the bag. One bag does not last long.

Red Star Pasteur Champagne

This sells standard for about 60c each not $5.76. This is a troll operation as most sell in packs of 10 for around this price. They are just ripping people off.

We created a yeast starter with some orange juice and the yeast quickly started bubbling. Very active indeed. Maybe this will help our stalled fermentation.

Great for fermenting a nice mash. May not be the fastest product on the market but definitely is not the slowest! Yields good product.

I used this to make both mead and hard cider. The cider came out amazing, not too dry, not too sweet, and the yeast will survive up until about 14% ABV so it really has a nice kick. The mead is still aging, but when racking I grabbed a bit for taste testing, and it was divine. This is a good, inexpensive yeast for brewing. It doesn't have the alcohol tolerance which some of the real high specific gravity brews might require, but it has a very neutral flavor, doesn't impart any weirdness into your brew.
