I have named this weekend "Review Weekend" because nothing is more important than studying to prepare for my finals. I woke up and took a trip to one of my favorite Seattle bakeries, Macrina, today. This is a trip that my dad and I usually take on our weekends together, but we haven't for months. Turns out Macrina had remodeled their space and it was absolutely gorgeous! The pastries that we brought home and had for breakfast were incredible, a fantastic start to the day!
Delancey which is right in our backyard and it was fantastic. Their pizza is the best I have ever had. After discovering this restaurant mere months ago I've been hooked. I could not believe that I had lived here my whole life with this incredible restaurant hidden five minutes away. If you are ever in Seattle I recommend this restaurant with no hesitation, I've been twice and both times I've found myself eating all six slices! Tonight I added arugula and garlic scapes to my margarita pizza and every bite was life-changing. It was the perfect way to end this study filled day, time to breathe is always necessary on Review Weekend and I'm so glad I got to spend this time eating magnificent food.

Escuela Taqueria, the latest labor of love by Los Angeles Restaurateur Steven Arroyo, will open tomorrow, June 17 for dinner with breakfast and lunch to follow in the coming weeks. This tiny jewel box of a restaurant with only twenty-five seats will serve a small, ever-changing menu of about a dozen tacos influenced by the markets and local ranchers.
Guests can expect to enjoy tacos with fillings ranging from duck and pork to birria and some traditionally low-end cuts like tongue and cheek, all served with inspired accompaniments like pickled cactus and onions, habanero cole slaw, and pumpkin seed gremolata. Two tacos are served per order and range from $6 to $8.
Side dishes to complement the tacos will include calabacita (summer squash) and elotes (Mexican-style corn on the cob), and customary rice and beans. Churros, and Palletas (popsicles) and Raspadas (Mexican shaved ice) made with fresh fruit juices, herbs, and spices, will provide a sweet ending.
Mexican breakfasts will vary between Migas, Chilaquiles, or Pozole and will be served Monday through Friday until noon, and Saturday and Sunday until 3pm.
Escuela will not serve beer, wine, or liquor. Guests, instead, will have their choice of Agua Frescas made fresh daily and a selection of imported soft drinks.
“I call my taqueria Escuela, which translates to school, because everything that I’ve learned about life has been poured into this restaurant” shares Arroyo.
Arroyo’s upbringing was centered around food-focused celebrations with a special love affair with tacos. His grandmother owned a small taqueria in East L.A. and Escuela Taqueria is a result of the passion for “really great food” shared by the generations in his family.
In addition to the great pride Arroyo takes in the food served at his restaurants, he also meticulously designs each space to create a playful, provocative, and inviting setting for a memorable meal. At Escuela Taqueria this style is punctuated by a ceiling full of old chairs jauntily hanging overhead to provoke memories of times gone by. This charming setting provides an intimate and nostalgic stage for traditional tile work and whimsical details.
Steven Arroyo’s restaurant accomplishments include such notable eateries as Cobras & Matadors (which soon celebrates its 10th Anniversary) and Potato Chips on Beverly Boulevard. Arroyo is also the co-founder of Malo in Silver Lake (which was sold in 2008), and sole-founder of Church & State (sold in 2010).
Escuela Taqueria pledges honest pricing, warm and inviting service, and affectionately prepared meals, or in the words of Arroyo, “love for sale”.
Located at 308 North Stanley Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90036, just steps from Beverly Boulevard, Escuela Taqueria will be open for dinner from 6pm to 11pm. The restaurant may be reached at (323) 939-TACO or (323) 939-8226.

Our incredible camp chef, Nary, making a beautiful egg omelet and soupy rice for the team in Analavelona.
If you’re the type of person who loves consistency, then you’ll absolutely love Malagasy cuisine. Throughout my two months here in Madagascar, I’ve learned to love two things: beans and rice. These two food items are a staple in pretty much every Malagasy dish all over the island, and it’s entirely normal to have some type of beans with some consistency of rice for all three meals a day. The word for beans in Malagasy is “tsaramasho”, which literally translates to “good eyes”… I guess it’s a reference to the more rounded types of beans we’ve had the privilege of devouring over the past two months, but nevertheless it’s a much better name than simple “beans”.
Our local friends slicing up some fresh Omby (beef) for dinner- MAN it was good!
Though beans and rice are the staples for a typical meal out here, we’ve also had some amazing toppings to go with them. We’ve had beef, pork, chicken, duck (my personal favorite), all kinds of vegetables and legumes, fruit salads, and even pasta to heap on top of our already ginormous mounds of beans and rice. Our Malagasy team members heap even more incredible piles of food onto their plates- hence the term “Malagasy portion”. Considering the average height of a Malagasy person is probably around 5’2”, it’s truly amazing that a person of that stature can easily put away two to three pounds of food in a serving for every meal.
Some local chickens, plucked and ready for cooking.
Our guide Lomba (at right) and two of his pals with giant stalks of incredibly delicious sugar cane.
Between the portion size, the beans and rice, and the toppings, it all adds up to a truly amazing cultural experience that’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. More posts to come!


In addition to consuming five portions of fruits and vegetables daily, “Eat 5 Different Vegetables and Fruits Every Day” also means consuming five colors (red, yellow, blue, white, green) of foods, not including pink ones.

Yellow foods such as corn, sweet potatoes, oranges, etc, promote and regulate metabolism and enhance the functions of the viscera,.
Blue foods such as blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, fungus, etc, are rich in anthocyanins, which are anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory, also improve vision.
White foods such as pears, garlic, onions, etc, are good for the respiratory system and moisturize the lungs.
Green foods are rich in dietary fiber, which can help digestion and prevent constipation; the most nutritious fruits and vegetables in this area of nutrition are spinach, sweet potato leaves, broccoli, asparagus, kiwi, etc.
Black and white fungus are rich in polysaccharides, dietary fiber, and vegetable gelatin.

June 2021: VOUZ Active: Skip to my Vouz!
Remember what you eat on a daily basis will have a direct impact on how you feel and how you move. Feeling energised comes from foods rich in carbohydrate, protein and fat. Combining all these 3 macronutrients with a physical activity, a good sleep pattern and good hydration are all essential for good health.Tatiana Byrne
Nutrition is an extremely complex subject to understand and on top of that there is a lot of good and not so good advice on nutrition out there at the moment. My job as a Personal Trainer is to improve the overall health of my clients, without imposing a strict diet on them. My approach is to educate them on the principles of nutrition and how to prepare healthy meals full of good nutrients. This way they learn to fuel their bodies and increase their energy levels to be more active.
In this article, I will keep it very simple and will give you some basic information on nutrition. I’m going to introduce you to the 3 macronutrients essential for health and explain their roles within your body. These macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Carbohydrates (aka carbs)
There are different forms of carbohydrates. Simple carbs are usually referred to as sugars. Complex carbs are usually referred to as starchy foods (potatoes, quinoa, bulgur, wild rice to name a few), which we use for energy to move around, feed our muscles and our brain. It is recommended for general health that we consume primarily complex carbs because they are more nutritious and they have a slower energy release. Carbs are stored in our muscles and in our liver as glycogen whilst holding water, so cutting down on carbs in the hope of losing body fat is in fact, initially water weight lost and not body fat.
Fat (aka fatty acids)
Fat has many benefits and functions within the body, but if you have to remember one thing of this article it is that fat does not make you fat, overeating and remaining inactive will. All the fats are not equal and the one to avoid is Trans fat, which is usually hidden in processed food such as cakes, biscuits and Fast food. Fat’s main function is to provide energy to the body, but also to protect our organs, control our body temperature, lower our risk of heart disease and help with the absorption of nutrients and vitamins. Getting too little fat will cause havoc in the body such as hormone imbalances, tiredness, mood swings, lack of concentration and flaky skin, to name just a few. A good source of fat can be found in avocado, olives, coconut oil, oily fish, all nuts and seeds.
Protein (aka amino acids)
Often known as the “building block” and can be found in every cell of our body. It is very well known for its role in increasing muscle growth and maintaining muscle mass, but has many other benefits, which are as important to maintain a healthy weight and body. I always recommend my clients include protein-rich foods in every meal, as it is the most “filling” of the 3 macronutrients and once consumed protein will be burned off as heat. It is vital for our muscles, bones, hair, nail growth and healthy skin. It is also essential for exercise and injury recovery. Getting too little protein will weaken your immune system and you will be more prone to get infections and flu. A good source of protein can be found in fish, poultry, lean beef, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds and legumes such as beans, peas and lentils.
Top tips for healthy eating
- Include a variety of fresh and colourful food on your plate
- Keep an eye on your portions to match your activity level
- Avoid processed food and deep fried food
- Reduce salt and sugar intake
- Chew your food and eat slowly
- Use spices and herbs over sauces


I have embarked on a journey that is totally foreign to me- healthy eating!
Oh I tried to get a fruit and vegie in here and there, eat grains and cut back on fats. But in reality, what I ate was a far cry from healthy!
Last week, my pastor at church asked if anyone would be willing to do a corporate fast for 21 days. Thank the good Lord he didn’t mean a total fast- like water only!
What he proposed was the Daniel Fast- no meat, dairy, yeast products, sugars or alcohol. I’ll admit I was thinking twice- I mean no meat? No sugar? No cool, yummy glasses of milk? No cheese? No zucchini or banana bread?
Once I thought about it and looked at the Daniel Fast website, I realized there is a lot to eat- I was just a “spoiled brat” when it came to food.
I decided to give it a try!
Last weekend our church had a conference going on and I was working at it. One of the workers offered to prepare food at home to bring in for anyone on the fast.
The first day she brought in meatless chili that had 3 beans in it- kidney, pinto and black beans. It was delicious and honestly, if I didn’t know that it lacked meat I would not have noticed . She also made wild rice which she cooked in either almond or coconut milk (forgot which). That was delicious alone or mixed with the chili.
Our sound man’s wife made him Moosewood Moroccan Stew, which he was kind enough to share. Oh my gosh it was good!
So I’ve been fasting for 3 days and have had some great eats!
I was at church Saturday for the conference and had a black bean soup and wild rice.
All of this was rounded out with fruits and nuts in between meals. Breakfast both days were banana’s with walnuts and almonds, mixed with a little Almond/coconut milk.
I think I like that milk better than normal cows milk!
Last night I subjected the family to the 3 bean chili recipe- I added a bit of diced sweet potato and tofu. Delicious! I also made some wild rice to mix in if desired. We began the meal with a garden salad with almond slices and home-made oil and vinegar dressing.
They survived and admitted they could live without meat a few days a week, so I may institute that!
I found a great recipe on the Daniel fast page for Date Honey. So I made that last night. It’s very simple to make:
This morning I added some of the honey to my oatmeal, along with walnuts, almonds, flax seed and almond and coconut milk. Super yummy!
For snack I made home made tomato juice. I like it hot…both temperature wise and spice wise. I added a hot red pepper minus the seeds. It was too spicy H-O-T! I added a teaspoon of date honey and it made a fantastic drink.
I also had a banana which I scooped into organic peanut butter.
I have to say I have been super energetic- it’s 3:00 p.m. and I’m still going. usually by now I’m dragging and sometimes even take a nap for 20 minutes to an hour.
We had a super-spirit filled day at church yesterday and it’s been with me since….
I can’t wait to see what the next 17 days brings….but I know Thanksgiving dinner is going to taste twice as good as normal.
And I’ll be twice as thankful to eat meat!

It’s that time of the year again for apples, and especially apple pie recipes. I’m a serious pie maker and my “American Favorite” apple t-shirt design is really the shirt about me….”sweet and tart, great for pie making”. Although the artwork has a red apple, not a green one, my recipe uses a seasonal local favorite variety, Gravenstein which is green.
I make an apple pie so delicious that friends and family all have the recipe and guests always ask for it. My pie crust recipe is different than what you usually find. Mine is a "stir and roll" kind and super easy. The crust is very flakey and tasty, using vegetable oil instead of butter or lard. It's easy and fast to make. Here is everything about my famous apple pie for you to make and share.
GRAVENSTEIN APPLE PIE RECIPE
Gravenstein apples grown locally in Sonoma County make the best apple pies because they are sweet and tart, so get them if you can during their short season in early August here in Northern Ca. Otherwise, a Granny Smith or Pippin will do, but won’t cause the wonderful uproar of delight when people taste this pie.
The dough is also incredibly easy and tasty. It is a “Stir and Roll” dough that uses just vegetable oil for shortening, and can be made in minutes.
One large pie serves 10-12
APPROXIMATE PREP TIME 1 hour prep time
Uses one deep dish standard pie pan (ungreased), pyrex liquid measuring cup, baking sheet with edges for catching drips during baking.
Use wax paper for rolling out dough
8 large Gravenstein or Pippin apples peeled, cored, sliced in ½” thick slices.
Juice of 2 lemons
¾ cup dark brown sugar
1 t. ground quality cinnamon (I use Penzey’s Vietnamese Cinnamon)
2 ½ c. unbleached white flour
1 tsp. salt
2/3 c. plus 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/3 c. plus ¼ c. milk
¼ c. sweet butter cut in 6 chunks
INSTRUCTIONS IN STEPS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Prep apples and put in large bowl with lemons, brown sugar and cinnamon.
Make the pie crust:
In medium mixing bowl, add flour, salt. Stir gently.
In pyrex measuring cup, fill to 2/3 level with vegetable oil; add milk to 1 cup level then a little more (1/4c) so total liquid volume is 1 1/4c.
Pour into flour mixture. Here's a little video of how nicely it mixes. it was kind of hard to hold hold the camera at the same time! Scroll down below this video window to continue the recipe.
Gently stir ingredients, scraping the bottom of the bowl to get all of the flour and blend ingredients. Don’t over mix, just enough to blend. It forms a ball of dough. So cool!
To roll out pie dough:
Lightly dampen table and lay large piece of wax paper down to stick to the table; put half of dough in middle of wax paper. Lay large sheet of wax paper on top of dough and press down with hands, then rolling pin, rolling out in all directions to make even circular crust 1/8” thick.
Peel off top layer of wax paper.
Lift up bottom layer of wax paper with pie dough attached and gently lay dough side down, centered into pie pan. Gently press dough into shape of pan, peeling back wax paper, patching any holes or uneven edges with scraps of rolled dough. Let rolled dough hang over edges of pan for now.
Pour apple mixture into pan and arrange apples to fit, mounding high as necessary.
Dust apple mountain with ¼ cup of flour, shake a pinch of salt over the mountain. Dot chunks of butter evenly spaced on the top of the apple mountain.
Roll out second circle of dough the same as the first.
Holding the wax paper with dough side down, drape over the “mountain” of apples and gently peel off the wax paper.
Press dough at edges of pie together to seal the pie and make a decorative crust edge.
With a sharp knife, slash five 1” cuts through the pie dough in a circle near the top of the pie to let steam escape during baking.
Put pie on baking sheet and put in the oven.
Bake for 45 minutes. Let cool thoroughly before serving so sugars can set into syrup and pie won’t be too watery.

I have great news! My cook book, Frankie at Home in the Kitchen, is now available as an eBook on Amazon. It can be downloaded to any device… phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. The regular books have been sold out for a while now (except for a few being sold at gouger prices on Amazon), so this is a great option for those who didn’t have an opportunity to purchase one, or would like a digital copy. Here is the link…
Looking for a simple and elegant, yet very tasty appetizer? If so, I’ve got one for you. I made these for a recent party at some friends house and they were a hit! I would envision these being served in Sicily where dates are common.
If you are looking for an idea for holiday gatherings, here are a couple you could consider… Homemade Rosemary Cracker Bread, or Eggplant-Roasted Garlic Hummus. The cracker bread is easy, especially if you have any experience at all making bread dough (though it is easy enough for a beginner too!). And the Hummus is something you can either use with the crackers, or as a delicious dip for raw vegetables. And it is WAY healthier than most dips you would otherwise consume this time of year! For recipes, click on their titles above. Buon Appetito!


I started my love affair with dates most recently. I have purchased my first container a couple months before Christmas, but was saving them for such as thing as today's recipe, in the hopes that I would have a processor before Christmas. I had never eaten a date on it's own. Then dawned that fateful day, at my in-laws abode. There are always ever-present dishes, laden with yummy delights, that are tantalizing and beckoning to be scoured for that one favourite treat. I know this sounds like their house is filled with candy, but really, these delicious treats are usually the fruit and nut variety. That day was no different, and in one dish, sitting along, sat a date. I was curious about the taste, thus I picked it up and bit into the soft, sweet flesh to discover a taste that was divine. As soon as I got home, I opened my container and proceeded to consume a few dates a day. Before I knew it, the container was gone and a new one added to my next grocery list.
It was only recently, with the arrival of my very own food processor, with all thanks going to some dear friends who blessed me with this gift, that I was finally able to use the dates for what I had first intended. The result was worth the many months of waiting.
Thus I share with you today the first flavour of datebars I have tried, the homemade version of the store available and widely loved "Larabar". Today's flavour is coconut cream and later on today I'm going to attempt some key lime bars, as my coconut cream ones are almost gone! I'll share that flavour with you another day. :)
I found this recipe on another fabulous blog, My Whole Food Life and you can see the original post here.
COCONUT CREAM DATEBARS
(gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan)
(makes 10 bars)
15 Medjool dates, pitted
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 Tbsp virgin coconut oil
2 Tbsp filtered water
- Add the almonds, cashews and coconut to a food processor.
- Blend on high until a fine, crumbly texture is reached
- Add the dates, coconut oil and water. Pulse until a dough forms. Scrape the sides of the bowl periodically to be sure all ingredients are incorporated.
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, being sure it comes up the sides of the pan. This is so the bars are easily lifted out once chilled, to cut.
- Pour the dough into the pan. Press down the dough mixture firmly, so it is well packed. Place in the fridge to set for an hour or two.
- Pull the bars out, via parchment paper and slice with a pizza cutter.
- enjoy and wrap for individual use, or place in an airtight container. Keep bars in the fridge. These should keep for a couple weeks, but I doubt they will last that long :)

Wine pairing is a fascinating art that involves taking a risk with the kind of wines you combine with your food until a perfect match based on personal taste is established. The spectrum is especially broad in terms of wines to pick.
When it comes to food and wine pairings, there are those who carelessly match any dish with any libation and those who painstakingly try to balance the flavors of the food with the perfect wine. No matter where you land on the spectrum, there are some dishes that remain challenging (potluck, anyone?), so having knowledge of ways to properly pair wine with your food can truly intensify the enjoyment of eating. It does not get much better than sea bass with Sauvignon Blanc, duck breast with Burgundy and a juicy steak with a classic Cabernet Sauvignon, so here are some pairing tips that promise to make your next dish sing.
It is no secret that having a perfect pairing of your favorite meal with the best-suited wine choice can take your meal into a whole new dimension. The following are the rules of pairing;
1.Pairing Rule #1
Serve a dry rosé with hors d’oeuvres
Rosé with Creamy Anchoïade
Rosé with Roquefort Gougères
Good rosé combines the fresh acidity and light body of white wines with the fruity character of reds. This makes it the go-to wine when serving a wide range of hors d’oeuvres, from crudités to gougères.
2.Pairing Rule #2
Serve an unbaked white with anything you can squeeze a lemon or lime on
Albariño with Pan-Glazed Salmon with Oyster Sauce and Basil
Sauvignon Blanc with Smoked Sablefish and Potato Salad with Capers and Onions
White wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño and Vermentino (typically made in stainless steel tanks rather than oak barrels) have a bright, citrusy acidity that acts like a zap of lemon or lime juice to heighten flavors in everything from smoked sablefish to grilled salmon.
3.Pairing Rule #3
Try low-alcohol wines with spicy foods
Riesling with Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts with Jamaican Curry
Riesling with Shrimp with Green Beans and Toasted Coconut
Alcohol accentuates the oils that make spicy food hot. So when confronted with dishes like a fiery curried chicken or Thai stir-fry, look for wines that are low in alcohol, such as off-dry German Rieslings (especially since a touch of sweetness helps counter spiciness, too).
4.Pairing Rule #4
Match rich red meats with tannic reds
Cabernet with Duck Confit with Turnips
Syrah with Sausages with Grapes
Tannins, the astringent compounds in red wines that help give the wine structure, are an ideal complement to luxurious meats—making brawny reds like Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah great matches for braised duck legs or pan-seared sausages.
5.Pairing Rule #5
With lighter meats, pair the wine with the sauce
Portuguese Red with Pork Chops with Shallots
Chardonnay with Chicken Breasts with Leeks and Pine Nuts
Often the chief protein in a dish—chicken or pork, say—is not the primary flavor. Think of pork chops in a delicate white wine sauce versus pork chops in a zesty red wine sauce; in each case, the sauce dictates the pairing choice.
6.Pairing Rule #6
Choose earthy wines with earthy foods
Pinot Noir with Bison Rib Eye Steaks with Roasted Garlic
Nebbiolo with Mushroom-Shallot Ragout
Many great pairing combinations happen when wines and foods echo one another. Earthiness is often found in reds such as Pinot Noir (particularly from Burgundy) and Nebbiolo, making them great partners for equally earthy ingredients, like bison steaks or wild mushrooms.
7.Pairing Rule #7
For desserts, go with a lighter wine
Moscato with Moscato-Roasted Pears and Cider-Poached Apples
Madeira with Dulce de Leche Crispies
When pairing desserts and dessert wines, it is easy to overwhelm the taste buds with sweetness. Instead, choose a wine that is a touch lighter and less sweet than the dessert—for instance, an effervescent Moscato d’Asti with roasted pears.
Wine pairing is an art that has been perfected by some people (read Italians) better than others. However, each region has the process of pairing their wines and food depending on some factors. Luckily, wine pairing is an art that one can learn with help, and we have all the information you need.
Our detailed food and wine matching guide helps you decide which wines to pair with a wide variety of meat, poultry, fish vegetarian dishes as well as desserts and cheese.
The matching of food and wine is a matter of personal taste. There are no hard and fast rules, but just remember it is easiest to think of wine as a sauce and match the strength of flavors and weight of the dish with the wine.
It is important to note that pairing food and wine is dependent on individual taste and perception. The following are some techniques that wine enthusiasts have utilized over the years;
The idea of a regional pairing is pretty fundamental. Imagine Italian wine and Italian food or an Oregon pinot noir with a cow’s-milk cheese from the Willamette Valley. Regional matches are not always the perfect pairing, however they provide a template for us to understand more about what’s going on structurally with wine & food pairings.
2.Acid + Acid
Unlike bitter, acidity can be added together with food and wine and will create the basis of what wine people think about when selecting a wine with dinner. If the wine has less acidity than the food, the wine will taste flat. An easy visualization for acids out-of-balance is a glass of oaked warm climate chardonnay with a vinaigrette salad. When pairing a dish with wine, consider the acid balance between the food and the wine.
3.Sweet + Salty
If you love maple bacon, candied pecans and salted caramels, a wine and food pairing of a sweet wine with a salty food will probably delight you. Pair Riesling with Asian foods such as fried rice or Pad Thai, or try one of my favorite “low calorie” desserts of pretzels and tawny port.
4.Bitter + Bitter = No
Bitter does not go well with more bitter, which is the primary reason why I loathe red wine and chocolate pairings. When we feel fat in the middle of our tongues, it helps to alleviate bitterness.
5.Bitter + Fat
Grab a big thick piece of fatty something-or-other and pair it with a wine with lots of tannin. This is the classic steak with red wine food pairing; however, I think we can do better than that. Take a red wine such as an Italian Sangiovese with lots of cherry flavors and pair the wine with an herbed potato croquette, roasted red tomatoes and rocket (a classic Tuscan Secondi). Suddenly you have a dish that has the tannin balanced with the fat in the croquette and a congruent flavor in the dish and wine (tomato and cherry) that elevate each other. I am already drooling.
6.Acid + Fat
Nothing like a glass of champagne to cut the fat. A high acid drink will add a range of interesting flavors to a lipid heavy dish. This is why white wine butter sauce is popular (you can watch a video of How to Make Buerre Blanc if you would like) the white wine in the butter sauce livens up the whole dish. So when you are in a situation where there is something fatty like cheesecake, get a glass of something bubbly and zippy.
7.Alcohol + Fat
The alcohol category is a bit of a strange one. The alcohol taste actually comes across as acidity so a lot of the same ideologies of the Acid + Fat category pass over into Alcohol + Fat. The primary difference is that a high alcohol drink should not be used as a palate-cleanser because that will mess you up. Instead, look at an alcohol + fat category as a way to mitigate high-speed food consumption. A glass of 17% ABV zinfandel will greatly slow down the rate at which you consume your pepper steak. I use the alcohol + fat category often for dessert pairing, but I’d like to see it more in dining as we learn to eat slower and enjoy longer.
Ancient tribes believed in the fact that nothing is truly poisonous but the excess of even something good can be poisonous. Natural and unprocessed food is good enough to ensure our good health and wellbeing.
You should eat natural, unprocessed foods that humans are genetically adapted to eating. Research shows that such foods are great for health. For healthy people who exercise and do not need to lose weight, there is absolutely no proven reason to avoid tubers like potatoes and sweet potatoes, or healthier non-gluten grains like oats and rice.
It is important to note that eating healthy does not only work with an individual who wants to lose weight; it can work with people who just want to live a healthy lifestyle. The following are some pointers that all healthy lifestyle enthusiasts should consider;
1.Eat In Moderation
For many of us, moderation also means eating less than we do now. But it does not mean eliminating the foods you love. Eating bacon for breakfast once a week, for example, could be considered moderation if you follow it with a healthy lunch and dinner—but not if you follow it with a box of donuts and a sausage pizza. If you eat 100 calories of chocolate one afternoon, balance it out by deducting 100 calories from your evening meal. If you are still hungry, fill up with extra vegetables.
Try not to think of certain foods as “off-limits.” When you ban certain foods or food groups, it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation. Start by reducing portion sizes of unhealthy foods and not eating them as often. As you reduce your intake of unhealthy foods, you may find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasional indulgences.
Think smaller portions. Serving sizes have ballooned recently. When dining out, choose a starter instead of an entree, split a dish with a friend, and do not order supersized anything. At home, visual cues can help with portion sizes–you are serving of meat, fish, or chicken should be the size of a deck of cards and half a cup of mashed potato, rice, or pasta is about the size of a traditional light bulb. If you do not feel satisfied at the end of a meal, add more leafy green vegetables or round off the meal with fruit.
Take your time. Stop eating before you feel full. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.
Eat with others whenever possible. As well as the emotional benefits, this allows you to model healthy eating habits for your kids. Eating in front of the TV or computer often leads to mindless overeating.
Aside from portion size, perhaps the single biggest problem with the modern Western diet is the amount of added sugar in our food. As well as creating weight problems, too much sugar causes energy spikes and has been linked to diabetes, depression, and even an increase in suicidal behaviors in young people. Reducing the amount of candy and desserts you eat is only part of the solution as sugar is also hidden in foods such as bread, cereals, canned soups and vegetables, pasta sauce, margarine, instant mashed potatoes, frozen dinners, low-fat meals, fast food, and ketchup. Your body gets all it needs from sugar naturally occurring in food so all this added sugar just means a lot of empty calories.
Tips for cutting down on sugar</li>
Slowly reduce the sugar in your diet a little at a time to give your taste buds time to adjust and wean yourself off the craving.
Avoid sugary drinks. Try drinking sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice instead.
Do not replace saturated fat with sugar. Many of us make the mistake of replacing healthy sources of saturated fat, such as whole milk dairy, with refined carbs or sugary foods, thinking we are making a healthier choice. Low fat does not necessarily mean healthy, especially when the fat has been replaced by added sugar to make up for loss of taste.
Avoid processed or packaged foods like canned soups, frozen dinners, or low-fat meals that often contain hidden sugar that quickly surpasses the recommended limit.
Be careful when eating out. Most gravy, dressings and sauces are also packed with salt and sugar, so ask for it to be served on the side.
Eat healthier snacks. Cut down on sweet snacks such as candy, chocolate, and cakes. Instead, eat naturally sweet food such as fruit, peppers, or natural peanut butter to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Fruits and vegetables are low in calories and nutrient dense, which means they are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. Focus on eating the recommended daily minimum of five servings of fruit and vegetables and it will naturally fill you up and help you cut back on unhealthy foods. A serving is half a cup of raw fruit or veg or a small apple or banana, for example. Most of us need to double the amount we currently eat.
Try to eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables every day as deeply colored fruits and vegetables contain higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Add berries to breakfast cereals, eat fruit for dessert, and snack on vegetables such as carrots, snow peas, or cherry tomatoes instead of processed snack foods.
Greens. Branch out beyond lettuce. Kale, mustard greens, broccoli, and Chinese cabbage are all packed with calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc, and vitamins A, C, E, and K.
Sweet vegetables. Naturally, sweet vegetables—such as corn, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, yams, onions, and squash—add healthy sweetness to your meals and reduce your cravings for added sugars.
Fruit. Fruit is a tasty, satisfying way to fill up on fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Berries are cancer fighting, apples provide fiber, oranges and mangos offer vitamin C, and so on.
4.Bulk up on fiber
Eating foods high in dietary fiber can help you stay regular, lower your risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, and help you lose weight. Depending on your age and gender, nutrition experts recommend you eat at least 21 to 38 grams of fiber per day for optimal health. Many of us are not eating half that amount.
In general, the more natural and unprocessed the food, the higher it is in fiber.
Good sources of fiber include whole grains, wheat cereals, barley, oatmeal, beans, and nuts, vegetables such as carrots, celery, and tomatoes, and fruits such as apples, berries, citrus fruits, and pears.
There is no fiber in meat, dairy, or sugar. Refined or “white” foods, such as white bread, white rice, and pastries, have had all or most of their fiber removed.
An easy way to add more fiber to your diet is to start your day with a whole grain cereal or add unprocessed wheat bran to your favorite cereal.
Choose healthy carbohydrates and fiber sources, especially whole grains, for long-lasting energy. Whole grains are rich in phytochemicals and antioxidants, which help to protect against coronary heart disease, certain cancers, and diabetes.
Healthy carbs (or good carbs) include whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables. Healthy carbs are digested slowly, helping you feel full longer and keeping blood sugar and insulin levels stable.
Unhealthy carbs (or bad carbs) are foods such as white flour, refined sugar, and white rice that have been stripped of all bran, fiber, and nutrients. They digest quickly and cause spikes in blood sugar levels and energy.
Tips for eating more healthy carbs
Include a variety of whole grains in your healthy diet, including whole wheat, brown rice, millet, quinoa, and barley.
Make sure you are really getting whole grains. Check for the Whole Grain Stamps that distinguish between partial whole grain and 100% whole grain.
Try mixing grains as a first step to switching to whole grains. If whole grains like brown rice and whole-wheat pasta do not sound good at first, start by mixing what you normally use with the whole grains. You can gradually increase the whole grain to 100%.

If you’re doing the Ha Giang loop, chances are you want to taste the local food and specialties of this culinary diverse area in North Vietnam. If you’re adventurous and ready to immerse yourself, this is the post for you. My boyfriend Alex and I are foodies ourselves. Therefore, we have taken the time to explore, ask around and eat in the kind of places you don’t get anywhere else in the world.
Although we are vegetarian, we’ve traveled with meat eaters and got their feedback. This is why this article includes information about non-vegetarian dishes. Bear in mind most places in the Ha Giang loop are not specifically vegetarian, but have vegetarian/vegan options on their menu. If you’re vegan or vegetarian, or are interested in veggie food, you might also want to read our Guide For Vegetarians In The Ha Giang Loop.
It’s truth. North Vietnamese cuisine has gained a reputation for not being as spicy or bold as the food in the centre or the south of Vietnam. This is due to the climate and terrain. The rough mountainous regions and the changing weather make it difficult to grow a big diversity of food.
However, we’ve found that, whereas down south the flavours are IN the food, up north the flavours are ADDED to the food. In every restaurant and stall up north you’ll see the chillies, fish sauce, ginger sauce, soya sauce, salt, lemon… being served on the side. This way, everyone seasons their dishes to their own taste. So don’t be shy with the seasonings if you feel your dish is too bland. And if you’re missing something – ask!
That being said, let’s go to our business. Here is a list of local dishes to try while doing the Ha Giang loop:
1. Bánh cuốn
It’s a steamed folded rice ‘pancake’ filled with pork/egg and mushroom, topped with dried shallots and accompanied by a delicious broth. We tried the bánh cuốn trung (egg bánh cuốn) and loved it. To eat it, put a bit of the pancake on the spoon and dip it in the broth – this will allow the pancake to absorb the flavours of the broth. You can see this dish advertised in many places, but we recommend trying it here in Ha Giang, and here in Dong Van.
2. Cháo Ấu Tẩu (Au Tau bitter porridge)
A porridge made with a bulb called ‘Au Tau’. This food is a specialty of Ha Giang and eaten at night. The bulb is initially toxic, but the way they cook it (over 4 hours with herbs, meat and sticky rice), makes it perfectly safe to eat. This dish takes a lot of preparation and effort, and is also considered medicinal! So if you’re feeling brave, try it along the loop, especially here in Dong Van.
3. Local Phở
The variations of Pho here are lighter and generally less spicy than the ones down south. So you get more flavour from the herbs or meat they use (it also has little to no MSG!). Phở has become our favourite breakfast/lunch -it’s light, filling and nourishing. It’s also likely to get cold up in the mountains, so having this will surely warm you up! We recommend trying the Phở at Bún Cá Thiên Vũ in Dong Van, Restaurant Hoan Hao in Tam Son, and at Nguyen Quoc Restaurant & Coffee in Du Gia.
For vegetarians/vegans: it’s difficult to find a Phở dish that is 100% vegetarian (“an chay”), even if they say it is. Most of the time they cook it with chicken stock, so make sure to double check!
4. Mixed coloured sticky rice
Traditional of the Tay ethnic minority, it’s a rice to which they add natural food colouring. For example, the red comes from the red sticky rice, yellow from ginger, purple from black sticky rice…. The different colours symbolize the 5 elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth. It’s tasty on its own or as an accompaniment to another dish (eg. pork, egg, tofu…). You can find it in Dong Van sold by street vendors (around here) or in the Sunday morning markets. Look out for vendors scooping out from big banana leaves.
5. Lau (Vietnamese hot pot)
It consists of a simmering metal pot at the centre of the dining table. The ingredients are put all around: sliced beef, chicken or pork meat, fresh vegetables, tofu, mushrooms… When the hotpot is simmering, its ingredients are put into the pot and are cooked right at the table. You can try a good one at the Green Karst, in Dong Van. They can perfectly prepare a vegetarian version for you.
6. Sweets & snacks
A soothing and warm ginger, peanuts and sticky rice ball soup. Usually sold in the afternoon or evenings in the centre of Dong Van. The portions are small and made to warm one up after a cold day driving or in the mountains.
My favourite! It is a layered dessert found all over Vietnam, but here up North you can try the different local chè’s, which you might not find in other areas. In Dong Van, there is a chè stall in the centre (outside here), and if you ask for Chè Thap Cam you will get a delicious bowl of mixed jelly, tapioca balls, different types of sweet beans, topped with coconut milk, peanuts and sweet desiccated coconut. Yum! You can also find delicious chè here in Ha Giang.
In the markets or streets, you can find an array of fried foods, like fried doughballs, fried ‘pancakes’ filled with sweet potato or corn, fried ‘churros’, and fried bread. There’s also steamed buns (pork, custard or plain), butter popcorn, fried corn, puffed rice cakes, and buckwheat or rice flour cakes with honey (a must try!).
Aside from the ‘single’ dishes mentioned above, the way most people eat with family and friends is ‘Tapas style’. Each person has their own bowl of rice and chopsticks, and they pick what they want from the array of dishes on the table or mat. While staying at QT Du Già Guesthouse, we had the privilege to taste many different dishes this way, such as herb omelettes, tomato tofu, stir fried vegetables, veggie spring rolls, fried chicken, fried pork… Sharing food this way brings everyone together at the table, and is a great way to experience a more traditional meal! This is one of the reasons we recommend staying at a Homestay while doing a tour of the Ha Giang loop.
I hope you have fun and take your time exploring all these different local delicacies and many more which might not be as known by foreigners yet. It’s certainly a part of the trip worth exploring, and one which will deepen your experience and enrich it!


Mouths are watering on the Island in anticipation of Copper Wok opening at Mansion House! Restaurateur JB Blau, who owns and operates the popular restaurants Sharky’s Cantina in Oak Bluffs and Edgartown and the Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company in Oak Bluffs, is transforming Zephrus Restaurant into a brand new, Pan Asian establishment with a completely new flavor for the town.
In an interview with the Martha’s Vineyard Times, Mr. Blau said Copper Wok will feature Chinese food and a sampling of cuisine from throughout Asia.
Copper Wok has long been a dream of Mr. Blau’s and Chef Alex Nagi, who will be the head chef at the new establishment.
“Chef Nagi and I have always talked about doing an Asian restaurant, but thought it was a few years away,” Mr. Blau said. “I sat in the room and it felt like an Asian restaurant to me. There was something about it and it made perfect sense for the town. There’s nothing like that and it would make us completely different,” JB said in an interview with the Vineyard Gazette.
Mansion House Owners Susie and Sherman Goldstein opened Zephrus in 1999 and cherish all the memories associated with the Island favorite. “We’ve had a great run. We are delighted to hand over the reins to JB. We wanted someone who had the same commitment to the community,” Mrs. Goldstein said.
Work in the restaurant is currently well underway as it is being transformed into a new dining experience in Vineyard Haven. In the meantime, Mr. Blau gave a scrumptious preview of what visitors and Vineyarders can expect at Copper Wok:
“Here is a food teaser,” Mr. Blau told Martha’s Vineyard Patch, “80% classic Chinese menu, 15% Japanese (sushi), 5% Thai, Vietnamese and Indian. The Menu will feature favorites with a chef’s spin on them. Not fusion, just fresher, tastier, healthier. The Sake cocktail menu is going to be award winning and mind blowing. Yes, we will have scorpion bowls.”

It works well as a cereal topping, in granola, smoothies, yogurt, on low-fat ice cream and in things like muffins and cookies (as long as they're low fat).

The pub has recently been given a new lease of life by a young and passionate team providing a premium seasonal menu while still retaining a traditional English pub atmosphere.
It’s traditional pub grub produced at the optimum level of gastronomic perfection. Scotch eggs and sausage rolls aren’t normally on Michelin star menus, but this place proves it’s not content which assumes perfection, its quality.
Additionally, instead of disguising and prettifying the meals with posh names, the ingredients are proudly displayed in ‘normal’ English, as are the ingredient provenances with a list of their suppliers showcased for all to see. It’s honest, comfort food taken to the extreme, showing the utmost respect for ‘real’ meals.
Big portions of food cooked to perfection, they know what we like, they stick to what we like, and they do it well, very well. It may seem odd to talk of chips so highly, but these chunky, triple-cooked chips are in standing to be the very best I’ve ever tried. This is ordinary food, cooked to taste extraordinary. Pigs cheek, Roast Cornish Cod, Confit Duck Leg – each are a highlight.
The desserts are just as luxurious. Everyday puddings that become transformed to supremacy. The ice-creams are all home-made and suspend you right in the centre of heaven with just one spoonful. Ice-cream flavours range from Ferrero Rocher to Kernal Stout. The dessert menu should never be dismissed here.
All are welcome in this family-friendly pub, big groups, dinner dates, children and dogs. All get to receive the pub treatment, including your pooch who is wined and dined with a bowlful of water and a pig’s ear.
As well as good food, it offers an extensive variety of draught ales, the perfect accompaniment to any pub meal, while there are also fairly priced wines and bloody-good bloody Marys.
You cannot want more from this place.

The best organoleptic quality in the world. The entire production and packaging of this exquisite product is
carried out by hand following ancient craft criteria. The fishing is done in Spain (Cantabria region) where the
protection and sustainibility policies (biological rest) of the territory combined with the cold and clean sea,
enable the fish to grow more in size. Production cycle takes place using anchovies fished between april and
july (before the egg-laying period) when the fat concentrates most in the eggs and in the seed so resulting a
tastier product. Three different packaging referred to salted anchovies allow us to hit different markets and
different people’s needs. In particular the 850g’s packaging was born as an exclusive of ours; it is a can made
100% from plastic food and is designed to counteract the natural obsolescence (due to sal and wear) of tinplate
and to make the product more accessible to the consumer.
The most exquisite and meaty anchovy fillets from the salted anchovies of the cantabrian sea, clean and processed
by hand and preserve in a delicate olive oil which guarantees the preservation of the taste and sensory
properties,are flat in different but elegant packaging in glass jar. The anchovies fillets in olive oil are distinctive
for their size, flesh and flavour and are perfect for the preparation of excellent canapes and gourmet dishes.
