    Mary Samida preserves food both to look and to taste good.

    Hobbyist Mary Samida shares a simple preservation techniques that produce beautiful and tasty results:

    Herbed Champagne Vinaigrette

    • First, pour out half a bottle of champagne (saving half).

    • Using a funnel, pour vinegar into the champage bottle.

    • Arrange herbs in small decorative bottles and pour the champagne-vinegar mixture over them, then tightly seal the bottle. Some of Samida's favorite combinations are rosemary, thyme, tarragon and parsley; carnations and mint leaves; and chili peppers and lemongrass.

    • Samida suggests that others experiment to find new combinations. The flavor of the mixture takes about two weeks to develop fully and can be used as a dressing or meat marinade.
