Contrary
to what you might think, eating right doesn't mean you have to
sacrifice
great taste and visual appeal. To
eat great variety of foods is especially important for vegetarians. The
value of fibre in our diet has been widely recognized in last couple
years
as great aid to digestion and as prevention against many diseases.
Vegetarians
usually obtain a greater amount of fiber in their diet than meat
eaters,
because they eat more vegetables, grains, legumes and fruits. However,
they also have to be very careful not to increase... more...

multi-service articles and equipment, food storage and handling is one
of the constant duties in the kitchen, proper washing, handling,

Today's
sandwich heartily recommends
itself to the demands of the times. It is hailed by nutritionists as
the
well-balanced meal: light on fats, heavy on complex carbohydrates,
replete
with the very nutrients we normally have trouble including in our
diets,
such as fiber and calcium, and less... more...

Spices
are dried seeds, fruits, roots, bark or other vegetative
substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food
additive for the purpose of flavoring, and indirectly for the purpose

Good
old saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach has
taken
a new meaning lately. We used to think the best method for enticing a
lover
was to ply him with rich, buttery sauces, heavy meat dishes and
decadent
chocolate desserts. These days we're more likely to protect the heart
of
the one we love by serving lighter and healthier foods that
won't
clog the coronary arteries or raise cholesterol levels. While it's true
that love is ultimately less about what you eat than whom you eat, a
little
help from our creative and healthy vegetables cookbook
doesn't hurt... more...

About
Fruits
Although
we usually think of citrus fruits as the main source of vitamin C,
black
currants contain much more of this vital nutrient. Just one

(Recommended Daily Allowance), compared with about 69 mg. for a 4-1/2
oz. orange.

Preserving:
|
|
A
careful selection of the food that
is to be preserved is the most important part of the whole
process. The flavor of the finished product also depends a
great deal on the condition of the food. So, whenever possible, any
food that is to
be preserved should be perfectly
fresh. The sooner it is preserved after it has been gathered, the more
satisfactory will be results. Keep in mind that a successful preserving
depends entirely on
destroying harmful micro-organisms that are present in the food and
preventing those present in the air from entering the food.... more...
Drying
is an convenient way to preserve foods and it is one of the oldest
methods
of food preservation for later use. It is simple, easy to learn, safe,
and requires only basic equipment. It is not difficult, but it does
take
time and a lot of attention. With the renewed interest in gardening and
natural foods, drying foods at home is becoming popular
again.
Many
kinds of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, meat, and fish can be
dried... more...
If you
grow and
dry your own herbs, you will always have a fresh, inexpensive supply
close
at hand for making delicious foods. For people on salt-free diets,
herbs
enhance the flavor of otherwise bland foods and do not add calories to
foods. If you want to cut down on salt or calories, you can use herbs
and
spices to give zest to familiar, low-calorie or low-salt foods. For
example,
a pinch of rosemary dropped into the water that potatoes or rice are
boiled
in will give a delightful taste to these vegetables... more...
Watch humidity and
ventilation during the drying process very carefully. Humid air slows
down
evaporation. Food contains a lot of moisture and rapid dehydration is
desirable.
The higher the temperature and the lower the humidity, the more rapid
the
rate of dehydration will be... more...
Curing and smoking is an
excellent way to preserve animal products such as meat, poultry and
fish. Smoking and curing affects the texture,
color, juiciness and flavor of meat. The quality and safety of the
final
product depends on how the product is handled before, during and after
curing and smoking... more...
