Blue wine
Travel crunchtime:
Roses are red, wine is now blue. You’ve probably read this clichéd introduction before: Blue wine is now a thing.
The science behind the mystifying hue deserves explanation. It is not an artificial dye, or the commonly-used blue pea flower extract. Gïk did not macerate Smurfs to produce this wine either. The colour comes from two naturally-derived pigments. These are anthocyanin, taken from the skins of red grapes, and indigo, from its indigenous plant.
A sip proved the wine to be mellow, with hints of sugar plum, and a pronounced dosage of stevia. Blue wine is going to falter against premium steaks, and other rich foods. If you must pair it, we suggest fruity desserts or oysters topped with sour condiments to tease out its floral quality.
Fancy the new world blue wine?

The real wasabi
Travel crunchtime :
Wasabi is one of the more well-known condiments served with Japanese cooking, most commonly served with sushi.
Mixed with soy sauce, or served directly on top of a little dash of wasabi gives a real spicy kick to raw fish but without leaving an aftertaste.
It might seem like a dull green condiment, but actually there are a lot of things that even possibly Japanese people don’t even know about them too!
Wasabi Facts :
1. You're likely eating the stem, not the root!
2. Wasabi is actually a herbaceous plant (Brassicaceae) which is related to cabbage, as well as mustard and radish!
3. Wasabi was believed to be added onto food to helped against illnesses. This was with good reason as it has been discovered that wasabi contains a chemical called allyl isothiocyanate, now used as an insecticide, and it also has anti-bacterial properties too!
4. True wasabi's flavour disappear quickly!
5. Real wasabi are hard to grow! it will only grow around 1300 - 2500 meters above sea level while it won’t thrive if the air temperature is below 8°C or above 20°C!
5. Real wasabi is expensive! Outside of Japan, a kilo could cost $160, but year on year, the price has increased by up to 10%. So today some restaurants are willing to pay $300 or more for the real thing!
6. Real wasabi can lasts a long time! The actual wasabi stem can keep its flavor for months if properly stored. So, although you should only grate as much as you need when you need it, your wasabi stem, under proper conditions, can last for months and be enjoyed again and again!
So there you go! Savour every inch of this omnipotent condiment to your best of health!

Wuyishan mountain
Travel crunchtime :
Mount Wuyi is the most outstanding area for biodiversity conservation in south-east China and a refuge for a large number of ancient, relict species, many of them endemic to China.
The serene beauty of the dramatic gorges of the Nine Bend River, with its numerous temples and monasteries, many now in ruins, provided the setting for the development and spread of neo-Confucianism, which has been influential in the cultures of East Asia since the 11th century. In the 1st century B.C. a large administrative capital was built at nearby Chengcun by the Han dynasty rulers. Its massive walls enclose an archaeological site of great significance.
Unspoiled Heaven Of The Seas - Karpathos
Travel crunchtime :
In the southeastern part of Greece, there exists a small paradise, a unique island, which combines a pure natural environment with an authentic tradition lost in the centuries...
That is KARPATHOS!
Karpathos is located in the Southern Aegean Sea, between Crete and Rhodes. It is the second largest island of the Dodecanese, after Rhodes and it has not surrendered yet to mass tourism and therefore still retains a genuine, natural and authentic beauty.
The inhabitants of Karpathos maintain with respect and pride the habits and traditions of their ancestors. Maintaining these traditions goes through their daily lives, impressing guests, who feel like they are going back in time. The festivals of Karpathos are the most famous and genuine, dominated by traditional music and local dances and traditional food.
Karpathos has 160 km of coastline which has countless beaches…some organized and others that are for those who seek solitude. The twelve villages of Karpathos are perched on mountainsides and others next to the sea. The cafes and lively taverns of the small villages offer genuine hospitality and authentic Karpathian recipes.
The early Christian and Byzantine churches are scattered throughout the island. Guests are mostly impressed by the continuous breathtaking landscapes that differ from one region to another of Karpathos.
Here you will find photos and descriptions of beaches, villages, traditional cuisine, and hospitality of the people
