Rooibos Tea
Rooibos tea, also known as red bush tea, is a popular herbal tea that is native to South Africa. It is made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant, which is found only in the Western Cape region of South Africa.
The plant grows in a microclimate where it is exposed to a combination of hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters, which gives it its distinctive flavor and aroma. It is used in cooking and baking, and can be found in a variety of products, including desserts, skincare products, and even beer.
EU protection for Rooibos tea is good news for South African agriculture

“A good home must be made, not bought.
In the end, it’s not track lighting or a sun room
that brings light into a kitchen.”
“Children at Lunch” 1857 Benjamin Vautier
Today we examine the literature that informs the safety and sustainability of small to medium-sized food preparation occupancies. Kitchenettes are often integrated into other living spaces such as gathering space on a single floor in a dormitory (unlike the full size dormitory kitchen), the teachers or faculty lounge.
Kitchenettes usually contain basic appliances and fixtures necessary for minimal food preparation, such as a small refrigerator, microwave or toaster oven, sink, and possibly a hot plate or small stove.
Kitchenettes are primarily intended for simple meal preparation and light cooking.
Kitchenettes may have limited storage capacity, requiring users to maximize space utilization through creative storage solutions.
School districts, colleges, universities and university-affiliated hospitals typically have hundreds of them; all of which present significantly elevated hazard as the focal area for nearly all activity.
They are the locus for concentrated electrical load. Our approach will be examine case studies and reflect back to the codes and standards. Use the login credentials at the upper right of our home page.

Kitchen Fires in High-rise Residential Buildings
Numerical Study of Kitchen Fires in High-rise Residential Buildings
Jing Liu – Peng Wang – Guangrui Song
Abstract: Open kitchen design is becoming popular in small units in high-rise residential buildings. This design increases the possibility that fires originating in the cooking area would spread beyond its origin. Effect of cabinet properties and wind on the fire hazards of open kitchen is numerically studied. It is found that if there are combustible items adjacent to the cooking area it helps the fire to spread giving a big fire and the wind may cause the fire spread vertically along the building exterior wall.
