Chef Tim Says....

I have a good friend who is of Korean descent, and he doesn't like ginger. He doesn't even like ginger snaps. Now I can't really imagine this - especially given the prevalence of ginger in Asian cooking - since I love ginger so much. It's pungent, spicy and a bit sweet all at the same time.

Interestingly, ginger has been studied a great deal for its anti-nausea effects. Much of the research has been done in women with the "morning sickness" associated with pregnancy. While the studies are small, they do show that ginger can be as good as some prescription drugs in treating nausea. Ginger
