Verrines
Most Americans know what a parfait is, but take that same idea and make the layers avocado salad, crabmeat, and pink grapefruit, and you get an entirely new dish called a verrine

Wine Color Guide
While judging a wine for taste, ’smelling bouquets’ and spitting wine out can seem a little bit backwards (because, after all, isn’t wine for drinking?), it’s really about appreciating different aromas and tastes without being totally smashed. color can tell us a great deal about a wine before we raise our glasses. Tilt them instead. Pouring a small amount of wine and tilting the glass at (approx.) 45º will spread the wine enough for us to observe a span of its color… and to determine the quality of a wine in the white, blush, or red families… where trees have rings, wines have color.
Not sure how serious that is.. 🙂
Swiss Cheese making
Switzerland is an ideal study tour locale for learning about cheese making and aging. In many of the small villages, there are still family operations of 2 or 3 people that make very high quality specialty cheeses.
mmmm

CandyFab 4000 has constructed caramelized versions of things like a Möbius strip, a screw, a dodecahedron, and a caged ball. Now the duo is planning an open source version of their sweet technology.
Ratatouille
highly recommended. unlikely concept, VERY well animated, funny.

Ciya Sofrasi
This is an excellent place for vegetarians. Although much of the more familiar Aegean style Turkish cuisine and mezze’s are also vegetarian, the dazzling variety of unusual dishes at Ciya is unique, and the service is exceptional.
Fairway Market
this place is to whole foods what whole foods is to k-mart
