Had our Bosch training today. In summary, the Internet of Things is here to stay.
Smart kitchen, the new range of appliances can be controlled via your phone. Your fridge has a camera inside as well, whilst you're shopping you can check what's inside it and what you need to buy.
Can get your coffee machine to start making your morning coffee whilst you're still in bed.
Get your stove and oven to teach you new recipes and get it to cook them for you. 🔥
Oh, and the coffee machines can be programmed to remember every person's favourite coffee. So if you have a special date, just tell it to remember her/his style of coffee & it will make it the same every time. Got a group of friends over? You can save each person's style as well
Everything is also compatible with Google Home or Alexa or any of those major digital AI assistants. So you can instruct your appliances to do stuff.
"Alexa, start washing the dishes"
I'm old school and believe in analogue things when it comes to cooking. Thankfully Bosch will only be doing this for a select range and for people who want it. For the cavemen like me, they'll always make the "old school" unconnected quality appliances we like. 👌🏾

Ok, let's start at the most obvious question. Why are nuts so bloody expensive? You need to understand what nuts are and how they grow and how they're processed.
The price is based on processing and also on market demand. Let me explain those 2 points first #LesFoodFacts
Let me start with the most expensive nut in the world. The Macadamia nut.
Origin? Queensland, Australia. Eaten by Aborigines for centuries and called "Kindal Kindal" until the colonisers landed and renamed them after one of themselves. Some dude called Macadam #LesFoodFacts
Some Bosch inspired kitchens. Will FINALLY be finishing mine soon too. 😍 #CookLikeABosch
😍😍😍
What I love is how flexible the @BoschHomeSA range of appliances are. The technology is always updated every year but they also last for ages...and always looks slick and classy 👌🏾. I'm biased coz I'm a Bosch ambassador but even if I wasn't I'd still be obsessed 😍
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 😉
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
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
