Food and Drink in Italy - Turin Restaurants 2007-04-25 13:07:00 By David LeighOne of the great pleasures of visiting other countries is experiencing the local cuisine and Italy
, the land of pizza and pasta, is naturally no exception.Italian cooking is quite regional, with the local specialities a treat to find out, and so it is with Turin, which as well as having some excellent restaurants is much more affordable than many places, such as Rome, Paris or London.Although pizza is enjoyed worldwide and is easy to find wherever you are in the world it is true that nothing can beat a real Italian pizza. I don't know whether it is in the way they kneed the dough, the type of flour, the olive oil used or any other factor, but the thin crispy base and perfectly flavoured toppings never taste anywhere near as good as in Italy. Turin is no exception and there are dozens of pizza restaurants vying for your custom and all of them seem equally good as one another. If the weather is good then many restaurants have tables outside and if you are sightseeing then Read more:Drink
The Best Backpacking Food 2007-04-23 16:08:00 By Steven GillmanMaybe your favorite backpacking food is a freeze-dried turkey dinner. There really is no "best" backpacking food. There are reasons to bring certain foods, though. Here are ten foods, and the reasons you might want to consider them.1. Nuts. This is one of the most calorie-packed foods you can take. That means less weight to carry. With lots of protein and other nutritonal benefits, nuts are one of the best backpacking foods2. Olive oil. Add a little to your soups or dip bread in it. The best of the oils health-wise, you can eat it before sleeping, to stay warm, because fats generate heat when digested.3. Trail mixes. Any mix with raisins and nuts is great for backpacking. Vitamins, minerals, protein, and the best reason - convenience.4. Corn products. Tortilla chips or corn nuts are convenient, and they don't seem to cause the tiredness that potato chips and other simple carbohydrates can cause.5. Ramen noodles. When you need a hot meal fast, there isn't much that's Read more:Backpacking

Healthy Breakfast Food - 7 Ideas To Jump Start Your Day 2007-04-17 09:12:00 By Diane WatkinsUnfortunately, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I say unfortunately, because many of us don't eat a healthy breakfast. Our lives are so busy, we are rushing to get the kids ready, then rushing to work. Many parents will provide breakfast for the kids, but then not eat any themselves. This sets a poor example for our children and increases the chances that they will abandon breakfast themselves.If you are dieting, you should realize that skipping breakfast increases the chance of a poorly chosen mid-morning snack. Studies show that those who skip breakfast usually eat more during the day than those who start their day with a healthy breakfast.So, how can we resolve the morning rush with the need to stop and eat a healthy breakfast? I won't even say to get up earlier, because for most of us, that isn't happening. But if we plan ahead, we can have a healthy breakfast every morning, even if we eat it as we dash out the door.There's no law that says you h Read more:Breakfast

Ancient Greek Food - Olives 2007-04-17 09:06:00 By George ChristodoulouToday, you go to the store and buy a little container of olives. You can get them in all different shapes sizes colors, and more. You can buy them with pimentos in them or not. Many wonder how this food became such an important part of Greek
culture and large part of their diet.Ancient
Greeks used olives as there main source of fat instead of meat from animal because they thought it was an unhealthy way of getting fat, since the barbarians (non Greeks) ate that way. In actuality, the barbarians ate meat and their products such as milk and cheese because they were nomadic and had no way of growing an olive tree or preparing olives if they saw any.Preserving olives was possible because there was salt everywhere! Since Ancient Greece was a huge island basically, salt was easily accessible and allowed them to preserve olives with ease.To preserve their olives, first ancient Greeks would gather them while they where not ripe. They left them in eater that they changed Read more:Olives
The Wedding Reception - Food, Music, Planners 2007-04-17 09:00:00 By Eric HartwellA reception party is a celebration of the couple’s matrimony and it should be memorable if not perfect. Perfect would be great though! It should be planned well and be thought of properly or else it will ruin the moment and leave a scar on the memory. Many things need to be considered - the budget, the party’s venue, the kind of food, drink and champagne or alcohol to serve, the type of music to play. All these things must go together so that you and your guests will have a great time and a time that you will all remember.When it comes to food, getting a catering service is a very good option unless it’s a pride and joy of your family to cook and prepare the food for the celebration. Make sure that the foods to be served are appropriate for the time of the day that the party is held. If you plan to have a ballroom or a dance after meals then make sure that the food you serve is not too heavy so that guests will also enjoy dancing after.

Millions are spent on superstars advertising coke, pepsi and the like. We know they are not healthy but how damaging is that innocent - and many would say satisfying - can of coke to our health?In the following article I will outline:1. The current soft drink epidemic2. The ingredients 3. The physical cost from soft drink ingredients1. The current soft drink epidemicIn the U.K. in 2004 nearly 14 billion litres of soft drink were consumed.

Tofu Is A Wonder Food 2007-04-29 09:30:00 By Michelle BeryPeople become more and more health conscious with each passing year. Fad diets, home gyms, and quick weight loss pills constantly flood the market. However, there has always been one tried and true road to good healthy; healthy eating. Finding ways to eat healthy can be difficult, especially with the high fat and cholesterol content that is found in red and white meats. But there is an alternative that has been long embraced by both eastern culture and vegetarians alike, and that alternative is tofu.Tofu is made from soybean curd that is pressed into blocks that can be used in various recipes and methods of cooking. Different varieties of tofu are suited for different kinds of recipes. Soft tofu is a form of fresh tofu – produced directly from soy milk- and contains the highest moisture content of all varieties. Its custard-like texture makes it conducive to use as a dessert.Firm tofu is a form of fresh tofu that has slightly less moisture content than soft tofu. Whil
Deciphering Pet Food Labels 2007-05-02 13:17:00 By Leigh AdamsIt may seem difficult these days to choose a pet food for your pet. The varieties are endless and the labels are not only confusing, but they can be misleading. If you know how pet food labels work, you can make a more educated buying decision the next time you shop for pet food.Pet food labels have an information panel and a main display panel. The main display panel contains the names such as the brand, the manufacturer, etc. The name of the product and its ingredients are governed by the Association of American Feed Control Officials, or AAFCO.When shopping for pet food, pay close attention to wording. If the product name includes things such as 'beef platter', 'beef entree', 'beef dinner', etc. it only has to contain 10% beef. However, if it is worded as 'beef', it must contain 70% beef. Along the same lines, if it is worded 'with beef', it need only contain 3% beef and if it says 'beef flavor' it may contain less than 1% of the product!Pet foods can sound Read more:Labels

Drink to Your Health - The Whole-Body Benefits of Water 2007-05-01 17:33:00 By Brenda Watson, N.D.Before you reach for that sugary soft drink, consider this the next time you feel a little parched: Clean, pure water is essential to every function your body performs. Second only to the air you breathe in its vital importance, it makes up roughly two-thirds of your body. Deprived of it completely, you may not even survive a week.

Restaurant Food Costing - Save Money and Increase Profits 2007-05-04 16:45:00 By Lydia QuinnEvery restaurant can benefit from proper food costing. Food costing is one of the most important elements for making your restaurant more profitable. Costing out your food enables you to have complete control over how much you spend on food and allows you to price your dishes for maximum profit, as well as good value to your customer.Typically, food costs should account for around 1/3 of a restaurant's expenses. The food cost along with labor and overhead costs should account for more than 2/3 of the total expenses. Above that is the profit the restaurant will generate. Since food costs are one of the highest expenses for a restaurant, food costing is viewed as one of the best ways to increase profitability for a restaurant who needs to generate more profits to stay in business.There are a number of ways you can analyze and optimize your food costs. First, you can do this manually, by thoroughly analyzing your food costs during a set period of time, usually a period of s Read more:Money
Spicing Up a Grilled Cheese Sandwich 2007-05-03 15:16:00 By Audrey OkanekoMy mom recently had the flu. As she was recovering one of the things she most wanted was a grilled cheese sandwich. I know my own kids have often ordered grilled cheese sandwiches when we go out to coffee shops for dinner. And almost all restaurants have grilled cheese sandwiches on their children's menu.I have many ideas to spice up the ordinary grilled cheese sandwhich:•Add a slice of meat to your sandwich. We very often add turkey. Other folks will add a slice of ham or a slice of bologna. You can also add already cooked bacon or any other lunch meat. If you have a leftover slice of meatloaf, add that to your grilled cheese sandwich.•Vary the types of cheese you use. Add one slice of swiss cheese and one slice of cheddar cheese. Every cheese has its own distinct flavor. You can also experiment with low fat and fat free cheeses. Use one slice of regular cheese and two slices of fat free cheese. If you like spice, try some of the spicy cheeses. My daughter loves Read more:Grilled

Caribbean Food - A Little History 2007-05-03 11:45:00 By Linda ThompkinsThe Arawak, Carib, and Taino Indians were the first inhabitants of the Caribbean
islands. These first inhabitants occupied the present day islands of British Virgin Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Trinidad, and Jamaica. Their daily diet consisted of vegetables and fruits such as papaw, yams, guavas, and cassava. The Taino started the process of cooking meat and fish in large clay pots.The Arawaks are the first people known to make a grate of thin green wood strips on which they slowly cooked meat, allowing it to be enhanced by the flavor of the wood. This grate was called a barbacoa, and the word we know today as barbeque is taken from this early Indian cooking method.The Carib Indians added more spice to their food with hot pepper sauces, and also added lemon and lime juice to their meat and fish recipes. The Caribs are said to have made the first pepper pot stew. No recipes exist since every time the Indians made the dish, they would always add new ingredie Read more:History

An Easy Meatloaf Recipe For A Busy Cook 2007-05-07 15:33:00 By Diane WatkinsThere are as many meatloaf recipes are there are cooks. This one is my favorite, an easy meatloaf recipe that can be varied to suit your tastes. Start with the basic recipe and add seasonings from the list below to suit your family. You can vary the meats used and the seasonings.To keep my meatloaf recipe easy, I use ground beef. Many cooks use a combination of ground beef, ground pork or ground veal. Some use sausage in their mixture. If you desire a mixture of meats, use 1/2 to 3/4 pound of pork, veal or sausage to 1 pound of beef. Using the seasoned Italian style bread crumbs seasons the meatloaf, making this recipe easy and quick to prepare. I don't actually even measure anything. I just dump the ingredients together using a reasonable amount of each. If the mixture is too moist, add more bread crumbs. If too dry, add more ketchup. It really is an easy meatloaf recipe that is foolproof.Basic Easy Meat Loaf Recipe1 1/2 pounds ground chuck3/4 cup Italian style bread Read more:Meatloaf

How to Cook Steak 2007-05-07 05:19:00 By Max BellamySteak
, though a grill favorite, can be cooked in several other ways. They can be pan-fried, braised, broiled, baked, etc. Selecting the proper method for cooking steak depends on its tenderness. There are dry heat methods and moist methods. Dry heat methods are generally applied for more tender steaks such as filet mignon and sirloin, while moist heat methods are more suited to tougher cuts of beef. The water helps in tenderizing the steak.The tenderness of cooked steak is influenced by how much it is ‘done’. Depending on the time for which the steak is cooked, it may be raw, very rare, rare, medium rare, medium, medium well-done and well-done. Rare steaks are exposed to the flame for a very short time. They still maintain their rawness and are very pink in color. Rarely done steaks maintain their original beefy flavors, but they are not very healthy as they still contain microorganisms. As the cooking time increases, the pinkness of steak gets converted to brownness
Cooking For One 2007-05-07 03:49:00 By Julie LanguilleThe key to successful cooking for one is smart shopping and good food storage practices. Here are some great suggestions and a sample menu to get you started.Vegetables and Fruit:The down side to vegetables and fruit is that they can be very perishable. The up side is that it is the only department in the whole grocery store that you can easily buy just what you need. It is actually possible to purchase a single cherry. We don’t recommend that, but you could do it if you wanted to.For items like cauliflower and celery that are sold by the head, try the salad bar. In fact the salad bar is a great way to get a variety of vegetables in a salad without waste.The key idea with perishable items is to consume the most perishable items first, and work your way to the most shelf stable as the week goes along. Frozen and canned fruits and vegetables are a great solution, they sell small cans of about everything and it is easy to take just what you need from a freezer bag and
Soft Drink Alert: Dangers of Benzene 2007-05-06 04:16:00 By Brenda SkidmoreLosing weight is a real major health concern for at least two-thirds of the American population. Many adults and children drink themselves into being overweight or obesity. Beyond those nutritionally empty calories that soft drinks have and the number one source of calories in a typical American diet, a long known about threat in soft drinks, benzene, has health officials concerned again.Benzene is a known human carcinogen (cancer causing agent) that has been linked to leukemia. It can form in soft drinks that contain both vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and either or, sodium benzoate, or potassium benzoate. Many soft drinks use sodium benzoate to stop bacteria growth and spoilage. Vitamin C can be present because the manufacturer added it or it can occur naturally from fruit concentrates used in the beverage.

How To Cook Asparagus 2007-05-09 12:43:00 By Diane WatkinsYou will typically find two kinds of asparagus in the store: white, also referred to as blanched and green.White asparagus comes from the same variety of plant as green, but the shoots are kept from being exposed to light. As the asparagus shoot grows earth is banked up, covering the plant deeply. Since the shoots are not exposed to sunlight they do not turn green. The asparagus is harvested when the tip peeks through the ground. White asparagus is milder in flavor than the green.Green asparagus should be green for the entire length of the stalk. The stalk should be brittle and will snap when bent. If the asparagus is pliable it is probably wilted.Since the asparagus grows in sandy soil, the tips and scales are sometimes filled with sand. Wash the stalks in warm water and gently brush the tips with a soft vegetable brush.The tough base of the asparagus will snap off. These ends are good for use in soups and peeled and chopped for use in other vegetable dishes.The toughe
How to Cook the Best Pasta the Real Italian Way 2007-05-08 17:30:00 By Priyadarshan M BontempiMost people think cooking pasta is really easy. Just throw some noodles in boiling water and drain it when it is soft enough, right?Sorry to say, that is wrong. What is hopefully true is that the secrets I am going to reveal to you will make pasta one of your favourite dish to prepare and enjoy by yourself or with your dear ones.First of all, allow me a short digression. To a serious pasta lover the name "noodles" is plain simply dreadful. Noodles is a very good name for Chinese pasta, or Japanese, or Thai, or any other nationality pasta, but not for Italian
pasta. Calling Italian pasta "noodles" would be like calling American baseball or English cricket something like "Stickball". That is just sad.Yes, pasta is easy to cook, *if* you have the right ingredients, *if* you know the right way of preparing it, and, above all, if you have the right attitude.

Slow Cookers Don't Cook So Slowly Anymore 2007-05-08 14:09:00 By Natalie SchloesserRemember back to the first time on your own; you moved into your own place and took with you numerous hand-me-downs from your parent's house.

However, it seems that recently there's been a lot of buzz as to why you may not want to buy a new crock pot.I've been reading a lot of crock pot cooking forums lately and there seems to be a common thread; many people are discouraged from cooking with their new crock pots. Why is this? What has come to pass to make newer crock pots more frustrating to cook with than older crock pots? I saw so many posts claiming that people had returned their new crock pot and dug out the one from their grandmother, or went rummaging around to thrift shops and garage sales to find a "good old crock pot" for $5 or less. And yet, many of those people don't realize that there's an excellent reason why your slow cooker doesn't cook quite as slowly anym Read more:Slowly
