We all know it goes well with tonic, but have you ever wondered if gin pairs well with food? Well, the short answer is, of course! Wine pairings are frankly overdone but what isn’t, is a gin pairing. Set yourself on a course to become a gin pairing connoisseur and start matching delicious foods with the iconic juniper-based drink. Here are some ideas. Crispy fish and chips How to make an already iconic combo even more perfect? Add gin. Gin offers a refreshingly crisp finish that counters the rich and oily taste of fish and chips. Not only that, but seafood in general is delicious with gin. Try smoked salmon, prawns and even sushi. Their briny, delicate flavour is a match made in heaven paired with almost any gin creation you concoct. Nut-stuffed camembert with honey drizzle Complement your cheeseboard with something out of the ordinary. Strongly flavoured cheeses like camembert, Stilton, and your favourite cheddar cheese pair well with the botanical notes of gin. Nuts like salted peanuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pistachios, and macadamias are recommended because of their fatty and salty taste that – again – pairs amazingly with gin. Put these together, drizzle with honey, and what do you get? A gin enthusiast’s favourite appetiser! It’s the perfect sweet, salty, and creamy combo you should definitely try at the next dinner party. Hot and spicy street food Ever seen mixologists push the limits and mix gin and tonic with hot spices? Complementing gin’s sharp and crisp notes with heat tends to cool and refresh the palette and heightens the overall taste experience. But, it’s not just about the heat, gin’s botanical notes go well with other spices found in curries and samosa fillings. For a South African twist, try pap with Sheba. Just make sure that all the flavours complement each other, then add a dash of gin to your fiery meat marinade for an extra level of complexity. Fruity chocolatey treats If you’re looking to extend your gin …
Sustainable HVAC solutions with superior technology
Regardless of the season, businesses and individuals are always looking for ways to control the temperature of the space they’re in – as well as ensure the air around them is germ-free and safe to breathe. The truth is, running an inefficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can be costly due to the energy used to power them. And, we know that excessive energy consumption is detrimental to the environment. As a result HVAC solutions in many public and private environments are required to be more efficient than ever, reducing costs and energy consumption while still providing optimum comfort and control. Consider modern air-conditioning solutions Forward-thinking air-conditioner manufacturers have been working on more sustainable commercial heating and cooling solutions for decades. So, for the ultimate energy and cost savings, you’d do well to invest in one of these new, more sustainable models. Consider the LG Multi V 5. This fifth-generation VRF air-conditioning solution has the Dual Sensing Control feature that senses both humidity and temperature to ensure optimum comfort and enhanced energy savings, leading to better cost efficiency. Improved continuous heating technology in the Multi V 5 delivers an 11% increase in heating time and a reduction of 7% in power consumption compared to the previous model. This coupled with the Ultimate Inverter Compressor improves energy efficiency and enhances compressor reliability. Despite these enhancements, the LG Multi V5 takes up 23% less floor space than its predecessor because of its large capacity outdoor unit, providing up to 26HP, while allowing for more flexible installations that optimise space and reduce installed weight. With the drive for sustainability becoming more and more important, cutting-edge technology like this is becoming a key enabler across numerous industries including healthcare, retail, corporate, manufacturing, government and education.

LG Receives AHRI Performance Award For Fifth Consecutive Year
LG Electronics (LG) has been honored by the Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) with a Performance Award for the fifth year in a row. Established in 1953, AHRI is a globally-respected trade association currently with more than 350 member companies and representing the world’s HVAC, refrigeration, and water heating solution manufacturers. For the Performance Award, AHRI enlists the services of Intertek, a leading third-party standards, certification and testing organization, to assess if actual product performance is consistent with the specifications listed by the manufacturer. Only those companies whose HVAC offerings have passed the primary performance evaluation for three consecutive years are considered for the Performance Award. A total of 55 LG HVAC solutions across six categories passed AHRI’s stringent evaluation process, marking the third year in a row from 2019 to 2021 that all products submitted by LG have done so. The tested models belong to the following categories: Variable Refrigerant Airflow (VRF), Unitary Small Heat Pump (USHP), Air-Cooled Chillers, Water-Cooled Chillers, Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps (PTHP), and Room Fan Coil Units. One of the more-than-fifty LG products evaluated included the LG Multi V large-capacity outdoor unit, which utilizes the company’s own Ultimate Inverter Compressor to provide outstanding performance and energy efficiency. Popular worldwide, and especially in Northern hemisphere countries where winters can be long and harsh, LG’s flagship VRF system delivers dependable heating operation, even in temperatures as low as negative-30 degrees Celsius (negative-22 degrees Fahrenheit). Also tested was LG Multi V Water, a water source cooling system offering better thermal efficiency thanks to the implementation of plate-type heat exchanger. LG’s solution also reduces energy consumption by adjusting the volume of water used. The air-cooled Inverter Scroll Chiller also leverages …
