Food and cooking tips

Kitchen Tip : Make sure stovetop electric coils work properly. A worn-out element is a real power drain.


Kitchen Tip : Even though they are like magnets for spills, keep stovetop reflectors clean. They will reflect heat better and save energy. If you need new ones, buy quality. The best on the market can save as much as 1/3 of the energy used with inferior reflectors.


Diet types

The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables weight loss whilst encouraging you to eat many of the foods you love, such as beef and some dairy produce.
With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, weight loss regime.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The logic of the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to convert into glucose and energy, it is the carbs that are burned first. If we take in fewer carbs, we will utilize the fat we already carry and we will achieve weight loss. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all medical experts concur and some think it is sometimes hazardous.

Ingredients And Procedures

6 Egg whites, at room temp.

2 1/2 tb Sugar

2 1/2 c Sugar, powdered, sifted,

-- plus more as needed 3/4 c Almonds, ground, blanched

Preheat the oven to 325 F. Cut out three 10-inch parchment paper circles and one 10-inch cardboard circle. Set the parchment circles on baking sheets. Beat egg whites to soft peaks and gradually add 2 1/2 tablespoons of sugar and continue beating until stiff. Combine 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and ground almonds; fold into egg whites. This mixture can now be used to form layers, or designs or whatever your choose. Simply spoon mixture into a pastry bag fitted with the tip of your choice, and pipe your designs onto parchment paper covered baking sheets. Dust lightly with powdered sugar (optional.) Then bake the your meringue until crisp and very lightly golden (for designs about a half inch thick, it takes 25 to 30 minutes.) Cool on the finished baked meringue on racks.
