General kitchen advice

Kitchen Tip : Solid disk elements and radiant elements under glass stove tops are easier to clean than conventional electric coil elements, but they take longer to heat up and use more electricity.


Kitchen Tip : Using a pressure cooker saves up to two-thirds of the cooking time, saves energy, and preserves the goodness in your food.


Weight loss

The low calorie diet

In a nutshell, a low calorie weight loss regime states that if you want to get rid of some fat, the important thing to take in fewer calories than you use.

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. The 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If something has more calories, then it will turn into more energy when consumed.

Low-cal foods include brussels sprouts, cabbage, apricots, beef, and skimmed milk.

Ingredients And Procedures

Karen Mintzias 1 tb Active dry yeast

1 c Tepid (110 F) water

3 tb Olive oil

1/2 ts Fine-grain sea salt

3 c Whole wheat flour, or more

2 tb Dried rigani; crumbled

1/2 tb Dried mint; finely crumbled

3/4 lb Feta cheese; well drained,

- finely crumbled 1 Egg yolk; beaten with:

2 tb Warm water

Sprinkle the yeast over the water and set aside in a warm place until foamy, about 10 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and the salt. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, make a well in the center, and pour in the yeast mixture. Knead 10 minutes, adding additional flour if necessary to make a firm elastic dough. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap, and set aside for 2 hours in a warm draft-free spot. Knead in the rigani, mint, and feta until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Lightly oil a heavy baking sheet and place the dough in the center. Form into a round loaf and flatten to a thickness of 2 inches. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside for 1 hour in a warm draft-free spot. The dough will rise only slightly. Heat the oven to 350 F. With a sharp thin blade, slash the top of the loaf diagonally in 2 or 3 parallel lines, brush with the remaining olive oil, and bake 25 minutes. Brush with the beaten egg yolk and bake 15 minutes longer, or until the bread is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
