Did you think that seasoning is used only in preparing main courses? Well, think again. You would be surprised to find out that seasoning is also done in preparing desserts. Actually seasoning has been present in preparing desserts until now, except that we were not aware of it and we haven't called the process as such. Think of the process of making a cake or fruit salad. The recipes that you use call for adding a little rum, cognac, grated lemon peel, etc. Thus dessert seasoning or fruit seasoning are not new concepts. It is just that we didn't speak of, let's say fruit seasoning, for example.

photo credit: lindasyummies.tumblr.com The sweet spicy dressing sets off the succulent shrimp. This dish pulls together fast if you use pre-cooked shrimp. Try those plastic boxes of organic baby greens rather than bagged salad. It's more expensive than a head of lettuce but cheaper than bagged. And for some reason the boxed salad greens stay fresher longer than the bagged lettuce, even after you open the box. Okay so here we go on our Asian journey. Combine 1 part rice vinegar with 1 part oil and 1 part freshly squeezed orange juice and the grated rind of that orange. Add no more than 1/2 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil to a half cup of the dressing or the flavor will overpower the dish. Throw in some grated ginger and garlic.
