Culinary Dictionary: Letter T

I would like to thank everybody who voted for my video audition. I am truly touched by that and do feel the love. You can keep voting through July 3rd. Click here to vote.

Tian is my favorite. So many people don't know the word which makes it fun to use. Makes you sound so French when you say it too.
