Wrapping it tightly in cling wrap works even better. Wrap the lid separately and you can open it without needing to re-wrap it. Oh, and a sheet of wax baking paper directly on the surface of the ice-cream for extra control 😉

Also, scoop the ice-cream in the freezer
Why does it work? It's to prevent any air getting into the ice cream and causing crystals forming. Over time the fat and liquids in ice cream split as temperatures fluctuate as you open and close the ice cream. Wrapping or covering it helps minimise how much air gets in.
Scooping it in the freezer or fridge also prevents warmer room temp air getting into the ice cream...which then means less chance of crystals.

Ok. As promised, a thread on flavouring and seasoning of food. I'm not gonna mention any brands so please don't ask me what brands to buy. 🙏🏾 #LesFoodFacts
First the basics. They're important, I'll explain why as the thread goes.
There's a difference between seasoning and flavouring. It's important coz thats what determines what you should use and one what dishes. #LesFoodFacts
Flavouring = Changes the taste of something. Examples: infused oil, chilli, lemon, cheese. A flavouring will be what your taste receptors pick up. Salty, sour, bitter, salty and Umami. A marinade or curry blend is flavouring #LesFoodFacts

As requested by @AndiMakinana, this is a thread on cooking seafood. #LesFoodFacts
I'll spare you all the technical stuff about types of fish. That is a whole week-long lecture on its own. So let's start at the fishmonger instead. How to tell if a fish is fresh or clean. #LesFoodFacts
Fresh fish doesn't have a "fishy" smell. It actually smells like the water it comes from. That fishy smell is caused by enzymes and bacteria on and in the skin of the fish. The longer the fish has been out of water the more "fishy" the smell #LesFoodFacts

Really curious to see how the DA campaigns next year during the local elections.
Will most likely avoid putting Steenhuisen on any billboards alone.

Me I just wanna see him speak in a township 😂🤣
I can't even picture him with kids or old people 🤔

All about coffee. What, how, why. A thread. P.s. This is from personal knowledge and what I've been trained on, I'm no barista #LesFoodFacts
Ok, let's start at the beginning. The history (its important coz it will help explain how unfair the global coffee trade has been).

There is a legend that coffee was first consumed and brewed in Ethiopia. In a region called Kaffa. Others claim it was discovered by Arabs in Yemen
No matter the history, everyone agrees coffee originally comes from the horn of Africa and up through to the middle east. Through trading and merchants it made its way to Europe. The Europeans called it "that Muslim drink" until the Pope said it was safe for Christians to drink.

Ever wonder how food photographers have different backgrounds for food pics? It's via boards called 'flatlays', you can order a few online. 😉 They're not cheap but they come in handy.

For Dijo I didn't use any flatlays but for Insta they're useful 🙏🏾
The term also refers to the current trend of shooting photos from directly above and filling the scene with props. Flat lay pics look like this...
This is also a simple flat lay, from my book...but instead of a board we used an old oven tray. The trick is to get a colour palette before you start cooking recipe. Then you know what colours to cook and aim for. Down to even the colour of the handle of the knife.
