I agree Fran! Sesame oil is best and some call it queen of oils because of its healing quality, work wonders for your health. It is powerful anti-oxidants and lowers the blood pressure too. Today people very keen to their health and fitness. people appreciate wow! What a taste, eat and praise and then ask, I’m heart patient, is it good for me? Doctor prohibited me to use these foods, too much salt or spice, sweet, this and that. Oils play a vital role in your health, I again appreciate for info related to oil taste, smoke and type of fat.

I am glad you stopped by and that information was helpful. I love using olive oil too but will switch over to organic canola or sesame oil for high heat cooking. Congrats on your own personal chef business! I love your focus on healthy and fun kids cooking classes.

Really well described about smoke point of different oils. I really like to use olive oil because of its nutrient value and taste. It is good piece of information especially for the chefs. Professional chefs always try to keep the nutrient value of food alive and balance.

I am not sure about what’s going to happen this Valentine’s day.. I have had a small foot surgery and now I’m confined to the couch. Dear hubby as been looking after me. Maybe we’ll order fancy takeaway that night!!

Great kitchen organization tips you added as well! Yes, having a sprayer is better and oops the points are backwards. Fixed it. :)

I like to think about other questions too. How close are the spices to the stove? How easily can you find the right spice you want use? How close are the cutting knifes to the chopping boards? How close are the coffee/tea supplies to the tea pot and coffee maker? Are like food items stored in your pantry? Do you have all breakfast items together? All snacks together? Do you have your refrigerator optimized..with the liquids and eggs towards the bottom where it is coldest? Do you have healthy snacks at eye level?

I do have a question about the quiz…on question 5..are the points backward? I don’t have a sprayer and I think you are saying that I should–is that right?

Small kitchens definitely don’t mean low functioning kitchens!

My kitchen here in Hong Kong is so small – absolutely all parts of it are within 3 steps and at all times. I think that it is surprisingly easy to use even though there is a tiny amount of prep space: just one 2-foot wide counter. (I scored 37 points on your quiz.) Great ideas; thanks, Fran.
