Jihyun Ryou on traditional Knowledge and Modern Design for Keeping food Cool
Who knew that apples make other fruit go ripe, but keep potatoes cold longer and that onions stay more fresh standing upright? Very inspiring thoughts on food and traditional knowledge.
Andrea, that was so inspiring! Thank you so much for posting that. I love that vegetables want to remain upright. I would love to start doing more stuff like this with my food.
I really love this film and have watched it over and over. Jihyun Ryou has a wonderful website too:

Thanks! There's a good article by a woman here who lives without a fridge but a zeer pot in Australia of all places! They are great.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the great reference to Jihyun Ryou's blog!
This is a lovely idea for a bowl to preserve the humidity of apples: http://www.fresh-shapingknowledge.blogspot.ca/
