This one is fun. A pound of Lemon grass stalks and leaves contain two teaspoons of strong, pungent, pure lemon grass oil, one teaspoon is released in oil which flavors a full cup of mild grapeseed oil, turning it into fragrant lemon grass oil for cooking, stir frying, massage, and aromatherapy. The stalks retain the other teaspoon of oil and flavors for cooking. Stays fresh for two years without turning rancid, gets stronger every month from stalks left in bottle and jar. Use the stalks left in the jar also for stir frying. This method is technically called hot oil infusion, or making lemon grass confit.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
