Candied Garlic and Home Cooking
2008-06-05 20:55:00 In my mother's time, education for women necessarily included at least one course in the domestic arts. As a result, the only high school textbooks from her time, save a couple of volumes of Shakespeare and Silas Marner, that I still have around are about nutrition. Florence Willard and Lucy H. Gillett’s Dietetics for High Schools: A Textbook in Nutrition and Food Economics, copyright 1920 and reprinted in 1931, only four years before her high school graduation, is among them. Even though salad isn’t even mentioned, it does include complex formulas for calculating the proper daily dose of Vitamin G and meal planning for a family which includes household staff. None of her college textbooks remain, most probably because she majored in art at a Texas college. The cuisines my mother cooked best were Turkish, Japanese and Mexican. And whatever the latest weird thing that Sunset magazine might mention, like...
Honey Scallops with Garlic Broccolini
2008-06-04 20:11:00 cappesante/scallopsRewind to this time two years ago. I was a new homeowner, working out regularly, and spent my Sundays at the Farmer?s market, then at home prepping for a planned menu for the week. Happy as a clam! Over the months that followed, I was in a job I loved, stayed (somewhat) fit and kept losing weight. After a fabulous trip to Eastern Europe last summer, I came home to find I lost more weight and was at the lowest I had been since I got sick. All great right? Right!Then I started my new job last August. After a sprain in one ankle, and three broken bones in the other within 4 months, coupled with a horrendously tumultuous year, I am now at the heaviest I have been since 1999. Icky! With school being out, I am now taking back charge and working to melt my big booty (that follows me in a room ten minutes after the rest of me) away.I began back to the gym this week (the one I have been paying for without seeing the inside but 2 times!) and began cooking again.

Why Eat Kimchi?
2008-05-28 21:01:00 Kimchi, also known as 'gimchi' or 'kimchee' is a fermented Korean food, equivalent to our sauerkraut. Eaten as a side dish, its main ingredient is cabbage. Kimchi has been eaten for the last 3000 years, and only recently (12th century) began to be prepared with the addition of chili peppers. Other variations today include kimchi made of radishes, scallions, or stuffed cucumber. Kimchi is seasoned with ginger, garlic, onions, and sometimes brined shrimp or fish sauce (anchovy based).Fermented foods like kimchi are known as healthy foods, and not just for the vitamin content (Vitamins A, B1, B2, Calcium, C, Carotene). Ann Louise Gittleman, author of The Gut Flush Plan writes that it's because they "feed and sustain the probiotic population in our digestive tracts," keeping our guts in good shape. Named one of the top five "World's Healthiest Foods" by Health magazine, kimchi contains lactic acid bact...

Chicken with Garlic Cream
2008-05-20 07:42:00 This is another zaar recipe I tried during my May recipe swap. This was very tasty and super quick and easy to prepare which I think we all love. I did add about a 1/4 cup of dry white wine and some more garlic cloves just my personal preference. I also found the sauce to be a little thin so I thickened it up with a little cornflour at the end. I found it to be a very flavoursome sauce for such few ingredients and sometimes I think simple actually works better than over complicating a recipe.

Homemade Garlic Spread
2008-05-17 04:10:00 My son and me love to each garlic bread! The more spread it has the better it is. Yeah, we both love to eat garlic. :P So, don't talk to us after dinner. XDI used to buy McCormick's Garlic spread with bacon bits but I was not able to find it since more than a year ago. Since then, I started making my more garlic spread.It's really very easy. The hardest could be getting the garlic into paste-like. If you using the knife, it's going to take you awhile for the garlic to be paste-like but it will work. It just takes longer. I do it with the help of a little tool, the grater. You can of course use normal the big one if you already have one at home. Mine is a tiny one which is smaller than my palm.Oh, you can use this method to grate ginger to get the ginger juice. At least this is how I did it.For my garlic spread, I mixed 4 glove of grated garlic to 1 tablespoon of softened butter. If you have garlic powder and/or parsley flakes, add 1 teaspoon each to the butter for extra flavour...
Product Review: Freida?s Garlic Delight
2008-05-14 16:49:00 Recently I was sent another great product to review. I was contacted by Hazel over at Freida’s Inc. about a new, fresh garlic product that is now on the market. Hazel told me that the product is made using all natural ingredients and no preservatives: fresh USA-grown garlic, canola oil, lemon juice and salt — that’s it. It sounded too good to be true, a dream come true product review. Something that sounded great and totally fell into pace with my Mediterranean eating habits. So of course I agreed to sample it. The package from Frieda’s arrived overnight in a cooler with ice. I recieved the original Freida’s Garlic Delight as well as the chipotle flavor - imagine my delight. Immediately I checked out the ingredients and it was just as Hazel had said - all natural and no preservatives! Each tub is 7 oz. and so my head was just swimming with ideas of what to do with these tubs of garlicky goodness. This package could not have come at a better time. It ...

Spring Onion and Potato Soup with Garlic-Parmesan Croutons

Spring onions are one of the things that are in season and abundant right
Simplicity at its Best: Sorekai Bolu Kodhel
2008-05-06 13:09:00 We are back from short yet wonderful vacation from India and already missing home! Here I am in my office, feeling sleepy and jetlagged and terribly homesick. Each and every minute of those 18 days were filled with excitement and fun and our ears are still buzzing. It feels strange to be here away from all buzz and excitement. The two big family weddings in two weeks of our vacation kept us on our toes all the time. Mehendi, shopping, facials, flower decorations, shopping for gifts, last minute purchases, travelling, houseful of guests, shopping (did I say shopping again?!), phone calls to friends? It was complete madness and we enjoyed each and every moment of it. It won?t be exaggeration if I had to say that we hardly got time to think about coming back (Will write about it more in my later posts). Surprisingly even the flights were on time and everything went smoothly.Can?t believe that we had been away for just few days and there is already change in weather. Thankfully the gloo...

Protective Antioxidants In Every Bite
2008-04-22 00:29:00 Cheryl Forberg, author of Positively Ageless and nutritionist for the NBC reality series The Biggest Loser, recommends that we eat our antioxidants. In this FirstLook at Positively Ageless, Ms. Forberg focuses on the value of foods high in vitamins, specifically C and E, both of which offer protection from free radicals. Instead of downing vitamin pills, aim to add various types of fruits and vegetables to the diet. These natural foods offer both tremendous varieties of antioxidants and phytochemicals which operate successfully together within the body. Ms. Forberg writes that scientists have "barely scratched the surface of knowing what these food components do individually, let alone in teams."Strongly flavored vegetables like garlic, ginger and onions, when fused together in a dish (think curry) provide antioxidants, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Individually, each extends relief from in...

Lasagna, Salad and Garlic Bread
2008-03-27 22:11:00 Over the bank holiday weekend I invited our parents over for dinner. I wanted a relaxed, family meal and what better than lasagna with the classic accompaniments of salad and garlic bread? After all, the Italians sure know how to feed a family!For the lasagna I made my bolognese sauce, not an entirely classic rag perhaps, but one that I like. I used 600g of beef mince for a lasagne to serve 6. Once that was cooked I whipped up a bechemel sauce. For this I gently heated 600ml of milk with a halved onion, a bay leaf and 6 peppercorns. A grating of nutmeg is nice but to be perfectly honest I forgot it! Once the milk started to come to the boil I took it off the heat, then in a separate pan made a roux, which is a cooked mixture of butter and flour used to thicken sauces. To make the roux I melted 50g of butter and then added 50g of plain flour, stirring quickly with a wooden spoon to form a smooth paste. Once that was done I whisked in the milk and heated gently until the sauce was of...

Health Benefits of Raw Garlic
2008-03-21 16:17:00 Chinese people have known of the health benefits of raw garlic for thousands of years. In China, apart from being used to flavor food, garlic is also traditionally used in teas and folk remedies. Why? Garlic is one of nature's strongest immune system boosters, and a powerful antibiotic, digestive aid and libido enhancer. As you'll see below, these are just some of the health benefits of raw garlic.However, while the health and medicinal benefits of garlic are numerous, it can also overheat your system if you eat too much. According to Tradititional Chinese Dietary Therapy, garlic is warm in nature and a strong stimulant. Therefore, people who have excess heat in their body should first balance their system. Excessive internal heat comes from eating too many heating foods and drinks, e.g. meat, fried foods, coffee and alcohol. This causes symptoms like red eyes, bad breath, constipation, yellow urine, a yellow tongue moss and acne. If you have these kinds of symptoms, eliminate or ...
Scallops in a lime-garlic pepper sauce
2008-03-18 04:41:00 Another suburban phenomena introduced to my life by the kids is the wholesale discount store - aka Costco. I do not like the lines but started off with diapers, then graduated to paper towels, etc. Now, I am sort of hooked on to a monthly trip where I end up picking up all kinds of things -such as these frozen scallops. I picked these up with some trepidation since I was not sure how these would work out. Well, other than the fact that I had thought that they might be larger they work just wonderfully. I made a simple creation that cheered my husband, in fact he told me to make sure that I save the recipe, so here it is.

2008-03-07 13:40:00 Q: I recently pressed fresh garlic onto a chicken breast and placed lemon slices on top. After baking, I peeled back the lemon to see that my garlic had turned blue! (I ate it and it was very good). Why does it turn blue?A: Acid is the culprit. Garlic contains anthocyanins, water-soluble pigments that turn blue or purple in an acid solution. While this color transformation tends to occur more often with immature garlic, it can differ among cloves within the same head of garlic.The bad news is the acid-soaked garlic looks like something a Smurf might serve at the dinner table. The good news is the garlic flavor remains unchanged (except for the flavor of the acid) and is totally edible without bodily harm.-Source: Food Network Kitchens

Easy Zucchini Garlic Sabji
2008-03-03 23:23:00 Dear Husband’s perpetual complaint is that the vegetables here in the United States, especially Zucchini have a sweetish taste to them and accents even more when cooked. He complains that it tends to ruin the taste of the dish and tends to steer clear from that vegetable. I on the other hand love it; and also being the sweet toothed person can never understand what the plight is all about. I eat hot and spicy food too, but also like the sweetish taste the vegetables have to offer when cooked. “Oh no, look what happened, I mistook Zucchini for a cucumber and bought it again” I said. “Yeah right, you need to come up with a better story than that” he said Wonder why he doesn’t buy my cucumber theory anymore! J Speaking of which, the food blogosphere has been raining cats and dogs with awards and I am thankful to Vanamala of My Kitchen World and Seema of My Randap for passing this award to me. “Nice Matters Award is for those bloggers who are nice people; g...

But of course, thanks to hundreds of different types of pasta varieties, and also the packaged sauces that supermarkets horde for you, there are plenty of options to choose from, especially when different people in the same house have different tastes. Like I love penne and rigatoni, but my dear husband settles for nothing but linguine or fettucine. So if I have to feed him something... Please Click the Title for the Full Post
