Cooking advice

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


Buy Local Food : Cultivate an awareness of how far your food travels. When Rich Pirog, Food Systems Program Leader for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, tracked the miles traveled for 16 types of produce, he found that locally sourced fruits and vegetables such as apples, lettuce and tomatoes traveled an average of 56 miles, compared to 1,494 miles — nearly 27 times farther — for the same fruits and vegetables delivered through conventional retail channels. Things get stickier with combination foods, strawberry yogurt for example. Pirog came up with 2,216 miles by adding up the distance traveled for the yogurt’s milk, sugar and strawberries. That figure could be slashed by 90 percent if you buy plain yogurt and stir in some locally grown honey and fruit.


Weight loss

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based around the glycaemic index, a list showing types of food and a score representing the speed that the energy in the food type gets converted to glucose in the dieters system. The theory is that slow release types of food (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help you to injest less food without craving snacks all the time.
It is also very good for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in reducing rises in glucose amount.

Ingredients And Procedures

-SANDI BROOKS WFCJ53B 7 Large eggs,

Separated keep at room tempe 1 1/3 c Sugar

3 tb Lemon juice

1 tb Grated orange rind

4 Very ripe bananas,

Mashed (about 1 1/3 cups) 1 c Matzah cake meal

1 c Coarsely ground almonds

1 ts Salt

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer beat the yolks and they are thick and pale. Gradually add the sugar, beating until the mixture is very thick. Beat in the lemon juice and the rind, add the bananas, the matzah cake meal, the almonds and the salt and beat the mixture until it is combined well. In a clean dry bowl, with clean dry beater beat the whites until they just hold stiff peaks, stir 1 cup of them into the banana mixture and fold in the remaining whites gently but thoroughly, Pour the batter into an ungreased 9" tube pan (3 1/2" deep) with a removable bottom and bake the torte in the middle of a preheated 350 oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Invert the pan over the neck of a bottle and let the torte cool upside down. Run a thin knife around the edge and tube of the pan and remove the side of the pan. Run the knife under the bottom of the torte to release it and transfer the torte carefully with 2 spatulas to a serving plate. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have.
