lovely recipe - and I love the inventiveness. We smoke duck in the restaurant where I work, and have done so with Lapsang Souchon (spelling) thinking that the smoked tea would enhance the flavour - to be honest I don't see the difference but I would recommend adding cinnamon and star anise and black pepper corns to the tea/sugar/rice mix for a really interesting aromatic flavour. Ooh, or use fennel seeds etc for a fish blend mix.

Loving the blog, btw, have been reading for a few weeks now. Especially loved your post about how wonderful a session beer Brooklyn Lager is - I'm completely obsessed!

Great article. The photos are amazing.

Trapped in Amsterdam eh? Great specialist beer bars, good restaurants, nice people, picturesque location and good weather at the moment. As I sit here in work, I have great difficulty summoning any kind of sympathy for someone who is stranded in one of the coolest cities in the world.
