Food and cooking tips

Try Eating Raw Food : Raw food can help you detoxify, cleanse and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. Raw and Living Foods contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.


Buy Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).


Weight loss info

The low-cal diet

Rather obviously, low calorie diet depends on the fact that if you want to lose weight, it is important to eat fewer calories than your body normally needs.

Definition of a calorie?
A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. A 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food has more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when your body burns it.

Low-cal food types include brussels sprouts, radishes, guava, burgers and steaks, and skimmed milk.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 lb Firm or extra-firm tofu,

-frozen (see note) 5 c Water

1/2 c Finely minced fresh ginger

-(My note - is this for -real? That's what It Says!) 3/4 c Soy sauce

1/2 c Whole-wheat pastry or white

-flour 1/2 c Fine cornmeal

Soy or other vegetable oil -for frying Dip: 1/2 lb Soft tofu

Additional 1/2 c Water

Additional 2 tb Soy sauce

Garnishes: Tofu Tartar Sauce (recipe -follows) Fresh parsley To defrost tofu, place plastic bag filled with frozen tofu into bowl of hot water. After about 15 minutes, drain bowl and ad more hot water. Repeat process until tofu is soft. Remove tofu from plastic bag, rinse, and then squeeze out excess water by placing cakes between two plates and pressing plates together while tipping out water. Cut tofu horizontally into 1/2 inch thick slices. In large shallow pot, combine water, ginger, and soy sauce. Simmer sliced tofu in the marinade for 20 minutes. With large spatula, remove tofu. Gently squeeze out excess liquid by pressing tofu between fingertips. Set aside. To make dip, combine soft tofu, 1/2 c water, and 2 Tb soy sauce in blender or food processor; pour this batter onto large flat plate. Place whole-wheat flour in a second flat plate and cornmeal on a third. Dredge each slice of marinated tofu first in flour, then in batter, and last in cornmeal. Heat oil to sizzling in large skillet and deep or shallow fry (as you prefer) each cutlet until both sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with dollop of tartar sauce and sprig of fresh parsley. Note: to freeze tofu, place in plastic bag, seal, and freeze for a minimum of 48 hours before thawing. The color of frozen tofu will be a light amber, and when cooked, its texture will be pleasantly chewy. Makes 6 servings.
