BRUISED

What do you mean when you say something like, Ginger peeled thinly sliced and "bruised"? And are there ways to find a video of you preparing and cooking a particular recipe?

  • Hi Kacy -

    First, at the bottom of the recipes on the website you can see if a recipe has been "Featured In" our tv show or in a website video. You can also look through the episodes of the TV show under the TV Show tab on the website.

    Second, bruising is a technique used to release the flavors and aromas of certain ingredients, such as herbs, spices, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. It involves gently crushing or pressing the ingredient with a tool such as a mortar and pestle, the back of or heel of a knife, or even your hands. This releases the oils and juices within the ingredient, intensifying its flavour and aroma.

    Hope that helps!

    Best,
