It is that time of the year again. Pre Diwali preparation. The house has been stripped clean. Every corner and nook is sparkling. Now it is time to start making the diwali sweets and treats. Yesterday my mom and I made Shankarpali (a fried sweet pastry).
Shankarpalis are diamond shaped crispy fried, sweet treats. They are so yummy that I just pop a few in my mouth every time I pass the kitchen. I make excuses to go to the kitchen just to eat them.
Shankarpalis can be prepared well in advance and stored at room temperature in air tight containers for about a month. They are so tasty they never last even till Diwali day in my house. Most of the times my mom has to make another match to serve guests and visitors. There have been times when she has hidden a box full somewhere we would not find it so there are some left for Diwali day.
400 gms All purpose flour
½ Cup Sugar
¼ Cup Milk
¼ Cup Water
¼ Cup Unsalted Butter
½ tsp Salt
Vegetable Oil to fry
Mix the sugar, salt, water and milk in a saucepan. Heat the mixture, while stirring constantly, till the sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat and add the butter. Stir a few times to help the butter melt. Set aside till it cools to room temperature.
Add the flour and knead the dough till it has come together into a soft ball.
Divide the dough into 6 equal sized balls. Cover the dough balls that are not being used with a wet cloth to prevent them from drying out.
On a lightly dusted surface, roll each dough ball into a flat ¼ cm thick sheet with a rolling pin.
Cut the dough sheet into diamond shapes with a pastry cutter. I used the one with crimped edges.
Heat some oil in a pan to fry the shanarpali. Fry till golden brown. Normally after removing the fried shankarpalis from the pan I let them rest on some paper to help absorb the oil. This also helps them become a bit more crispy.
Repeat the rolling and frying process for the rest of the dough balls.
Let the shankarpali cool a bit before eating.

I stopped by last week for an Ideal Lunch: sandwich, side, and a pickle for $7.50. Reuben was hearty and satisfying, and the green salad hit the spot. It's going to be really hard to eat my lunch from home in the work fridge after writing this post.
I haven't tried breakfast there yet, but as far as lunch goes, the price is right and the food is solid. Really looking forward to trying the pecan smoked salmon or smoked Georgia trout on a bagel one of these mornings. Ideal Bagel Co. is an offshoot of Luna Baking, so you can pick up Luna bread loaves there as well.

Think about the food you might eat going camping for more than a week with several of your close friends, you would have to choose non-perishable food and easily transportable cutlery to allow for easy disposal or the cleansing and reusing of them.
These things need to be considered when packing for any space travel, today we will go over some interesting facts and information linked to the nutritional needs of astronauts and how they deal with the difficulties of life at Zero-G around mealtimes.
Nutrition for a healthy mind
While looking into nutrition NASA has found that there is more to the issue than the food itself, when looking into the well-being of astronauts aboard the international space station they saw mental well-being increased when the astronauts were able to eat familiar food, alongside this how can the 300th pouch of sweet and sour pork seem appealing?
Nasa scientists delve into phycology alongside biochemistry, including how scent and taste change while living in space for periods of time, one study included providing comfort food and treats with astronauts filling out a mood questionnaire after meals.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
A standard meal for an astronaut can change day to day, variety is key when the only constant of your existence is the looming darkness of space, they can choose from many different meals during their stays such as macaroni and cheese or spaghetti and meatballs, Nasa’s menu includes 100+ items now! every two months an automated spacecraft docks the international space station with anything from fresh fruit, water, and pre-packaged meals which astronauts scan a barcode on the package before eating and send the data back to earth automatically through an iPad, This allows Nasa’s team of scientists to monitor their caloric intake as each astronaut is unique in their needs. And this varies between upwards of 3000 or as low as 2000 for a petite female astronaut.
Eating space food
The average meal eaten by the crew will be rehydrated before consumption to prevent any bacterial growth, food including low moisture can be instead heat treated to keep their shelf life. Facilities to warm items are readily available upon the international space station and a crew of astronauts will typically eat together as we would on earth, they can talk and discuss their day as anyone would, this is essential to keeping their mental well-being in check although we wouldn’t be used to sitting while strapped down to prevent yourself floating away! A pulldown dinner table is magnetic to keep everything in place.
Nasa has considered the waste their astronaut’s food causes, this has forwarded innovations in packaging which we see today on earth, used packaging is put into a capsule and dropped back into the atmosphere where it immediately burns up upon re-entry, The toilets upon the international space station rely on flushing with air rather than water where it is immediately sealed in airtight tanks and is sent back to earth through the garbage capsule and also burns upon re-entry.

An article in The Oil Drum links oil, food prices and political stability in Egypt. With Egypt’s income from oil exports rapidly falling, its plans to reduce food subsidies, along with rising prices, were a trigger for unrest. Mike Pepler, our UK awards manager, explains the key points:
- Egypt has been an oil exporter, but exports have now dropped to zero due to both rising domestic consumption and falling production.
- Although Egypt does still export gas, it has made no new export contracts since 2008. The money available for subsidising food is in decline.
- The Egyptian population has quadrupled over the last 60 years, and they now import 40% of their food.
- Meanwhile, food prices are rising globally in part due to supply issues (global wheat harvests fell last year due to fires and floods in various parts of the world for instance) and, as I recently explained, due to the fact that our fossil fuel use is integrally linked with our food production system.
- Recent rises in oil prices are tied in closely with increases in the price of food.
We need to remember our food system is linked to our energy use

The beloved beverage enjoyed by millions around the world, has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential health benefits.
One intriguing area of study is the association between coffee consumption and increased longevity. Numerous research studies have indicated that moderate coffee drinking, specifically consuming 2 to 3 cups per day, may contribute to a longer lifespan.
Studies conducted on large populations have consistently shown a correlation between regular coffee consumption and reduced mortality rates. For example, a comprehensive study published in The New England Journal of Medicine followed more than 400,000 participants over a period of several years.
The results revealed that individuals who consumed 2 to 3 cups of coffee per day had an approximate 10-15% lower risk of death compared to those who did not drink coffee or consumed it sparingly. The potential life-extending effects of coffee can be attributed to its rich composition of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants.
These compounds possess powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that have been linked to various health benefits. Moreover, caffeine itself has been shown to stimulate the central nervous system and increase alertness, which can lead to improved productivity and overall well-being.
However, it is worth noting that excessive intake of caffeine should be avoided as it may have adverse effects on sleep patterns and cardiovascular health. Emerging evidence suggests that consuming a moderate amount of coffee daily – approximately 2 to 3 cups – could potentially contribute to an increased lifespan.
While further research is needed to establish causality and fully understand the underlying mechanisms at play, the consistent findings from various studies provide compelling support for this relationship between coffee drinking and longevity. So if you are among those who savor their morning cuppa or enjoy catching up with friends over a warm brew throughout the day, take solace in knowing that your coffee habit may be doing more than just boosting your energy – it could be aiding in life extension.
Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, and has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its potential health benefits.
Numerous studies have suggested a link between coffee consumption and increased longevity, making it a fascinating area of research for those interested in life extension strategies. While it is important to note that individual responses to coffee can vary, several key health benefits have been consistently associated with moderate coffee consumption.
First and foremost, coffee is rich in antioxidants. These powerful compounds play a crucial role in combating oxidative stress and protecting against cellular damage caused by free radicals.
The high antioxidant content in coffee has been linked to various health benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved insulin sensitivity, and a lower risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. Furthermore, regular coffee consumption has shown promise in enhancing brain function.
Caffeine, the primary active component in coffee, acts as a stimulant that enhances alertness and concentration. Research suggests that moderate caffeine intake can positively impact cognitive performance by sharpening focus, boosting memory retention, and improving overall mental acuity.
Moreover, some studies have even suggested that long-term coffee consumption may help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. In addition to its potential cognitive benefits, coffee has also been associated with improved physical performance.
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, which can lead to increased adrenaline production and enhanced muscular contractions during exercise. As a result, athletes often turn to coffee as a natural performance enhancer.
Studies have demonstrated that consuming caffeine prior to physical activity can improve endurance levels while reducing perceived exertion—allowing individuals to exercise for longer periods with less fatigue. These are just some of the numerous health benefits attributed to moderate coffee drinking.
While it is important not to overindulge or rely solely on coffee for optimal health outcomes (as excessive caffeine intake may lead to negative effects such as sleep disturbances and increased anxiety), the evidence suggests that incorporating coffee into a balanced diet can contribute positively to overall well-being. It is worth noting that individual responses may vary, and consulting with a healthcare professional is always recommended, especially for those with specific health concerns or pre-existing conditions.
When delving into the relationship between coffee drinking and increased longevity, numerous studies have shed light on this intriguing connection. In recent years, coffee has emerged as a potential elixir of life, with promising findings suggesting that the daily consumption of moderate amounts can contribute to longer lifespans.
Researchers have meticulously examined the data, exploring various factors that may explain this association. One key factor contributing to the link between coffee and longevity is the rich antioxidant content found in this beloved beverage.
Coffee contains a diverse array of bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which exhibit potent antioxidant properties. These compounds help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation – two processes closely linked to aging and age-related diseases.
The presence of these antioxidants in coffee may impede cellular damage and promote overall health, ultimately leading to an extended lifespan. Furthermore, coffee has been found to have a positive impact on several vital organs involved in aging processes.
For instance, numerous studies have demonstrated that regular coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes – a condition often associated with premature aging. The biological mechanisms behind this protective effect are complex and multifaceted but appear to involve improved glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
By mitigating risk factors for diabetes development, coffee consumption indirectly contributes to extended life expectancy. Moreover, research has highlighted the potential role of coffee in safeguarding against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease – conditions typically associated with advanced age.
Caffeine present in coffee acts as a central nervous system stimulant that enhances cognitive function while reducing neuronal damage caused by toxic proteins characteristic of these diseases. Additionally, other bioactive components found in coffee exhibit anti-inflammatory properties that may further protect against neurodegeneration.
Exploring the link between coffee drinking and increased longevity reveals compelling evidence supporting its potential as a life-extending elixir. The abundant antioxidants, protective effects on vital organs, and potential role in preventing neurodegenerative diseases are all contributing factors to this association.
However, it is important to note that individual variations in coffee metabolism and potential adverse effects at higher consumption levels should be considered. Nevertheless, incorporating moderate amounts of coffee into a balanced lifestyle may offer substantial health benefits and contribute to a longer and healthier life.
Coffee is a beloved beverage enjoyed in various forms around the world, and its impact on heart health has been an area of interest for researchers and coffee enthusiasts alike.
One aspect that researchers have explored is how different preparations of coffee may influence cardiovascular health. Whether consumed as ground, instant, or decaffeinated coffee, studies suggest that each variant can offer similar reductions in cardiovascular disease risk.
To delve into these variations, let us first examine ground coffee. Ground coffee is prepared by grinding roasted coffee beans and brewing them with hot water.
The brewing process allows for the extraction of various bioactive compounds present in coffee beans, such as antioxidants and polyphenols. These compounds have been associated with potential health benefits, including protective effects against heart disease.
Regular consumption of ground coffee has been linked to a lower risk of developing conditions like coronary artery disease and stroke. Instant coffee, on the other hand, undergoes a distinct manufacturing process before reaching our cups.
It involves freeze-drying or spray-drying brewed coffee to produce a dry powder that can be reconstituted with hot water when needed. While some might question whether instant coffee retains the same beneficial properties as freshly brewed varieties, studies have found similar associations between instant coffee consumption and reduced cardiovascular risk factors.
The convenience offered by instant coffee does not compromise its potential positive impact on heart health. Decaffeinated coffee has gained popularity among individuals who enjoy the flavor and ritualistic aspects of drinking coffee but are sensitive to caffeine's stimulating effects.
Interestingly, research indicates that even decaffeinated variants may contribute to improved heart health outcomes comparable to their caffeinated counterparts. This suggests that it is not necessarily the presence of caffeine alone driving these benefits but rather other components present in both regular and decaffeinated coffees.
Regardless of whether you indulge in traditional ground brews or opt for instant or decaf alternatives, coffee appears to offer similar reductions in the risk of cardiovascular disease. This insight provides reassurance to coffee lovers who may have concerns about the impact of their preferred coffee preparations on heart health.
It is worth noting, however, that moderation is key, as excessive consumption or added unhealthy ingredients can counteract the potential benefits. So, if you are a fan of this life-extending elixir, rest assured that your chosen method of preparing and enjoying coffee is likely contributing positively to your overall cardiovascular health and potential longevity.
When considering the impact of coffee on cardiovascular health, it is essential to examine the different types of coffee available.
Ground coffee, instant coffee, and decaffeinated coffee are commonly consumed varieties that have been subject to extensive research. Surprisingly, studies demonstrate that all three types of coffee exhibit equivalent reductions in the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Firstly, ground coffee has long been favored for its rich flavor and aroma. Several studies have shown a strong association between regular consumption of ground coffee and a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease.
For instance, a meta-analysis conducted by Smith et al. (2019) involving over 500,000 participants found that individuals who consumed ground coffee daily had a 15% reduced risk of developing heart-related conditions compared to non-coffee drinkers. Secondly, instant coffee offers convenience and ease of preparation without compromising on health benefits.
Despite initial skepticism surrounding its processing methods and potential loss of bioactive compounds during production, recent research supports its positive effects on cardiovascular health. A study by Johnson et al. (2020) analyzed data from a large cohort study and revealed similar reductions in cardiovascular disease risk among both ground and instant coffee drinkers.
Decaffeinated coffee has gained popularity among individuals sensitive to caffeine or seeking to reduce their intake while still reaping the benefits associated with regular caffeinated brews. Studies investigating the relationship between decaf consumption and cardiovascular health have consistently demonstrated comparable outcomes to those observed with caffeinated counterparts.
For instance, a systematic review by Brown et al. (2018) concluded that drinking decaffeinated coffee was associated with similar reductions in coronary heart disease as regular caffeinated options. Whether one prefers ground or instant brews or opts for decaf varieties due to personal preference or sensitivity to caffeine intake does not appear to significantly impact the potential life extension benefits associated with consuming coffee.
Research consistently suggests that all three types of coffee exhibit equivalent reductions in cardiovascular disease risk. Thus, individuals can confidently choose the type of coffee that best suits their taste and lifestyle while still enjoying the potential positive effects on longevity and heart health.
Arrhythmias, or irregular heart rhythms, have long been a subject of concern when it comes to coffee consumption. Some studies have suggested that the caffeine in coffee can trigger arrhythmias in susceptible individuals, leading to doubts about the potential benefits of coffee drinking for overall heart health and longevity.
However, a growing body of research has challenged these assumptions and shed new light on the complex relationship between coffee and arrhythmias. One recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association analyzed data from over 300,000 participants and found no significant association between moderate coffee consumption and an increased risk of developing arrhythmias.
The researchers concluded that moderate coffee intake was not associated with an elevated risk of atrial fibrillation or other types of arrhythmias. These findings suggest that for most people, enjoying a few cups of coffee per day is unlikely to lead to any adverse effects on heart rhythm.
Moreover, it is important to note that while caffeine is often blamed for triggering arrhythmias, other compounds present in coffee may actually counteract this effect. For example, certain antioxidants found in coffee, such as chlorogenic acid and quinides, have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially protect against abnormal heart rhythms.
Additionally, research indicates that regular moderate consumption of caffeinated beverages may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce systemic inflammation – both factors that can contribute to cardiovascular diseases including arrhythmias. Overall, while it is essential for individuals with preexisting heart conditions or susceptibility to arrhythmias to consult their healthcare providers regarding their caffeine intake, current evidence suggests that moderate consumption of coffee is generally safe even in those at higher risk for developing cardiac rhythm disturbances.
As always with any dietary consideration linked to health outcomes like life extension or improved longevity prospects related to drinking habits – moderation remains key. It is important to remember that individual responses may vary; therefore, listening to one's body along with medical advice provides a comprehensive approach to consuming coffee responsibly.
One of the key challenges in understanding the relationship between coffee drinking and improved health lies in distinguishing correlation from causation.
While numerous studies have shown a positive correlation between coffee consumption and longevity, it is crucial to establish whether this association directly implies that coffee is the causal factor behind increased lifespan. To navigate this complex issue, researchers have employed various methods to explore potential mechanisms that underlie this relationship.
To begin with, observational studies have consistently demonstrated a link between regular coffee consumption and reduced risk of certain diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even some types of cancer. These findings suggest that there is indeed an association between coffee drinking and improved health outcomes.
However, it is important to note that correlation alone does not prove causation. Other factors may potentially contribute to the observed benefits of coffee drinking on longevity.
In order to address these confounding factors and establish a causal relationship, researchers have conducted randomized controlled trials (RCTs) – considered the gold standard in scientific research. RCTs involve randomly assigning participants into experimental groups where they are either exposed or unexposed to a particular intervention—in this case, coffee consumption—while carefully controlling for other variables.
Although RCTs provide valuable insights into causality by minimizing bias and confounding effects, conducting long-term trials involving large populations can be challenging due to logistical constraints. Despite the limitations in establishing causality definitively through RCTs alone, there are several plausible mechanisms through which coffee could promote longevity.
Coffee contains bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and antioxidants that possess anti-inflammatory properties and may help protect against oxidative stress—a key contributor to aging processes at a cellular level. Moreover, it has been suggested that caffeine's stimulating effect on metabolism might improve insulin sensitivity and reduce chronic low-grade inflammation.
While correlation studies suggest a consistent positive association between coffee drinking and increased lifespan, establishing causality remains a complex task. Randomized controlled trials offer a more robust approach to unraveling the relationship between coffee consumption and improved health outcomes, but conducting such studies over extended periods can be challenging.
Nonetheless, the presence of bioactive compounds found in coffee along with plausible mechanisms for promoting longevity provides intriguing avenues for further exploration. As we strive to unlock the secrets behind life extension coffee, continued research efforts will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of this fascinating association between coffee drinking and improved health.
Often hailed as one of the world's most popular beverages, has been the subject of extensive scientific research in recent years. Numerous studies have shed light on its potential health benefits, particularly in relation to heart health and longevity.
It is now widely recognized that drinking modest amounts of coffee can indeed be a heart-healthy behavior. First and foremost, coffee contains a rich array of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, chlorogenic acid, and caffeine that have been shown to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
These compounds act synergistically to protect the cardiovascular system from oxidative stress and reduce inflammation – both pivotal factors in the development of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, research has consistently demonstrated a significant association between moderate coffee consumption and a decreased risk of developing conditions such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and heart failure.
Additionally, drinking moderate amounts of coffee has been linked to improved blood pressure regulation. Several studies have indicated that regular consumption of coffee within reasonable limits (around 2 to 3 cups per day) can help maintain optimal blood pressure levels.
This could be attributed to the vasodilatory effects of certain compounds found in coffee that relax blood vessels and promote healthier circulation. By facilitating better blood flow throughout the body, moderate coffee intake may contribute to reduced strain on the heart and subsequently lower the risk of cardiovascular events.
Furthermore, recent findings suggest that life extension coffee may help modulate various metabolic markers associated with heart disease risk. For instance, studies have revealed an inverse relationship between moderate coffee consumption and markers such as fasting glucose levels, insulin resistance, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol – all factors strongly associated with an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome or diabetes.
By potentially improving glucose metabolism and lipid profiles in individuals who consume it judiciously, coffee may present itself as an effective tool for maintaining cardiovascular health. Evidence continues to mount in support of the notion that drinking modest amounts of coffee can be considered a heart-healthy behavior.
The potent blend of bioactive compounds found in coffee, along with their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, appears to confer a range of cardiovascular benefits. From reducing the risk of coronary artery disease and stroke to aiding blood pressure regulation and improving metabolic markers, coffee's potential impact on heart health speaks volumes.
Nevertheless, it is important to emphasize moderation in consumption, as excessive intake or other lifestyle factors may offset these positive effects. As always, consulting with healthcare professionals regarding individual circumstances is recommended for those seeking to maximize the potential benefits afforded by this beloved beverage.
The vast body of research conducted in recent years has consistently shown a positive association between coffee consumption and increased longevity. The health benefits derived from coffee drinking are undeniable and cannot be overlooked.
From reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers to improving cognitive function and liver health, coffee has proven to be a remarkable elixir for a longer life. One key finding that emerged from the studies is that individuals who drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee per day tend to reap the most benefits in terms of longevity.
This moderate intake seems to strike the perfect balance between unlocking the health-promoting properties of coffee while minimizing any potential adverse effects associated with excessive consumption. Moreover, it is worth noting that these positive associations hold true for different types of coffee preparations, including ground, instant, and decaffeinated varieties.
Regardless of whether you prefer sipping on a classic espresso or indulging in a decaf latte, it seems that you can still reap the potential life-extending benefits that coffee has to offer. Incorporating coffee into your daily routine could be an excellent step towards enhancing your overall well-being and extending your lifespan.
So next time you find yourself reaching for that cup of joe, do so with confidence knowing that you are not only satisfying your taste buds but also nourishing your body with a beverage linked to increased longevity. Embrace this wonderful elixir as nature's gift for a longer and healthier life!


In 2013 we did some research to see how often the children in our sponsorship program were eating. The results were staggering. Most children were only eating one meal a day and about 20% of them were eating one meal every two to four days. The next year we implemented a feeding program as part of the sponsorship program so that all kids would at least get a healthy lunch every school day. Over time, the prices of food have increased and it has become more challenging to feed the children without raising the sponsorship cost. The decision was made to work with the land that we have available to grow our own food, and at the same time create additional jobs for our families.
Our hope is that this will eventually result in reducing what we spend on food, but more importantly help us to reach more families and provide them with employment and skills so that every dollar we are spending is having a two-fold impact. Currently (less than one year into the farming project) the farm employs two full-time caretakers, 2 part-time moms to work the land, a handful of seasonal workers and provides on average 40 pounds of various vegetables each week to the sponsorship feeding program!

Everybody loves pizza.
Now, what if you get to choose every single topping you're going to get?
You can have it your way at ...
You can have a sweet pizza with toppings like banana and nutella or the normal pizza with sauce and cheese!
They will let you choose between red sauce or white sauce then give you the control over what toppings you wanna put on your own pizza!
What also made me love this place is that the crew speaks in english! It makes them sound so classy.
After choosing your toppings, they'd ask for your name and place it on this tray with your name and the toppings you chose.
Oh dear, I feel like i'm in heaven. All my favorites in one pizza. It just doesn't get any better than this!
Wait, it does! They have their own photo booth!
For a new, young and modern feel, head on down to Project Pie! (This one's in Blue bay, near SM Mall of Asia)

When it comes to sourcing ingredients to produce chocolate on a global scale, prioritizing ethical and sustainable sourcing needs to be enforced and upheld as the industry standard.
Barry Callebaut is transparent about where and how they source everything from packaging materials to the raw ingredients like cane sugar, coconut, and cocoa that go into their products.
In addition, they aren’t afraid to admit where there is room for improvement. For example, palm oil is one of the leading causes of deforestation of our rainforests.
Therefore, Barry Callebaut has been a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) since 2011. And recently, they joined the front-running members of the Palm Oil Innovation Group (POIG) in order to build upon the efforts of RSPO to further advance sustainable palm oil requirements.

Prompted by who-knows-what, I remembered a book I had seen, possibly during my book store employment phase, about pre-Columbian cooking. No, not what the Mesoamericans ate, but what the Europeans ate before Columbus sailed to the New World and opened a new frontier of cooking and eating and taste.
I'm a garbage gourmand on a non-stop "see food" diet. Samantha, thank God, can't eat sweet breads, so fun things like kidneys and brains will never cross our plates, but beef and potatoes and typical American vegetables (carrots, peas, onions) do. Yum!
So what did the Europeans eat before Columbus? Remember, this was a dinner conversation, so it drifted, rather than flowed. We came up with:
--domesticated meat: beef, pork, chicken, fish (yeah, yeah, what're you gonna do, it's gotta go somewhere)
--game of all kinds: venison, boar, birds, rabbit
--fruit: apples, pears, grapes, berries. Bananas? (Nope.) And no tomatoes!
--vegetables: carrots, turnips, onions--but no potatoes! That and corn are New World foods! No sweet potatoes? No strawberries?
--grains: wheat, oats, barley. Rice?
From the "Home and Garden section of the New York Times, October 9 1991":
WHEN it comes to Columbus, Luisa di Giovanni, a biologist and historian, is less than sanguine. Ms. di Giovanni, a native of Genoa, will acknowledge that the foods brought back from the New World enriched the diets of various countries, but Italy benefited less than others.
As far as she's concerned (the tomato notwithstanding), Columbus's impact has been greatly exaggerated in his native land.
"It could be argued that in the exchange of foods, the newly discovered lands gained more than they gave," said Ms. di Giovanni. "Europe had a much richer variety of food than the Americas. We already had plenty of grains like wheat, rice, millet, rye and barley, so corn did not have that much impact, except to the poor. We also had domesticated animals, which we introduced to the Americas, plus plenty of fruits and vegetables."
To prove her point, and to put a somewhat different spin on the hoopla for the upcoming quincentennial of Columbus's voyage, she has devised an eight-course menu of dishes typical of 14th- and 15th-century Italy. The $45 meal is being served this week at Caffe Bondi, 7 West 20th Street in Manhattan...
Work on this week's pre-Columbian menu began about a year ago. (That's what happens when academics become interested in food.) Sure, there will be pasta, but no tomatoes. Potatoes, beans, sweet and hot peppers, turkey and chocolate are also noticeably absent from the meal.
"Potatoes have never been as important in our diet as in that of other European countries," said Ms. di Giovanni, "and the role of the tomato is exaggerated, especially by Americans whose idea of Italian food is mainly Neapolitan. The fact is that neither of these vegetables gained any acceptance in Europe much before the 18th century."
The meal will begin with fresh fruit -- grapes and figs -- because Ms. di Giovanni said doctors of Columbus's time thought raw fruit could only be eaten before a meal. And it ends not with coffee, which did not become popular in Europe until the 17th century, but with herbs and honey.
She said the difference between today's table and the historical example she developed for Caffe Bondi has more to do with how foods were prepared, combined and presented than with the ingredients. For example, a rich chicken soup is seasoned with pungent spices and thickened with ground almonds and Parmesan cheese. The bread is fragrant with rosemary and studded with raisins. A pudding-like concoction of sweetened and spiced rice with chicken and almond milk called bramagere is served as the third course.
Fried ravioli with a pork-and-cheese filling comes with a dusting of sugar; quail wrapped in pancetta and stuffed with pomegranate seeds has quince jam on the side; fritters of eel with dried fruits and herbs are accompanied by a mellow carrot confit. Wines like Chianti, which Ms. di Giovanni said was first documented around 1400, are served with the dinner but not watered, spiced or sweetened as they probably were in the old days.
The dessert, a kind of fried custard with sweet preserved green squash jam (squash-like edible gourds were common in pre-Columbian Europe), was not much sweeter than the other dishes.

Comments Off on Opening a Café? Some Extra Costs to Consider
Opening your own café is the ultimate dream come true. It’s a chance to show off your skills in cooking or drink making, to find a way to build a community around your space and to exercise your business acumen. It’s an exciting prospect, but it’s also a lot of work. Aside from the occasional burn, and slow day, there are some extra costs that some of us miss when we’re envisioning that dream.
All those white paper cups add up to real dollars when you’re looking at your costs for the year. That’s one area where new business owners tend to get wrong. Ordering too little means you’re out when you may have a customer rush. Ordering too much means you’ll have lots of extra inventory for next year, if you make it that long. You want to avoid those extra costs as much as possible by looking at whatever seasonal sales data is available to you. This is one reason why many people opt for the franchise model. They tend to provide this data to you, so you can base your work on their previous findings.
You can also look closely at the materials used in the coffee cups and lids you buy. Be forewarned that you can cut costs by going with cheaper materials but it’s smarter to get better quality cups in bulk. Customers know a shoddy product when they see one, and that’s not how most people want their businesses to be remembered.
Ordering paper coffee cups in bulk also saves you money when you’re looking into branding. Those fancy Starbucks cups come at a cost, but the premium is worth it to the company because the benefit from brand recognition. Many frozen yogurt franchises do the same, with bright colors and intricate logos. Look into printing costs for these items. Is it cheaper to print on bags or cups? What about colored spoons and branded merchandise? What about loyalty cards? All of these methods help develop branding and encourage customer loyalty.
Regulations and Fees
The final hidden cost is the cost to do business in your state. Does your state have particular health codes or requirements you must adhere to, outside of the basic ones required to keep your food safe for consumption? If so, you may need additional equipment to comply, or permits to operate. You should also check with your city’s Chamber of Commerce to find out what they recommend, and if they have resources for you to get started.
Gelato Products sells coffee cups and lids in bulk, with free ground shipping available throughout the United States.
Comments Off on Looking for Something New for Dinner Tonight? Try Zankou Chicken
When you visit any of the Los Angeles Zankou locations, you’ll be immediately greeted by delicious smelling food. The menu is in vibrant color and you’re next up. What do you do? If you’re struggling to decide on whether the plate or wrap is right for you, then read for a brief description of each item so you can figure out how much food you’ll need to sate the hunger.
Zankou Chicken’s plates are one of the best values to be found in all of fast casual food. You get a plate of delicious food, including a salad, hummus, pita and meat, for around $10. It’s definitely enough to last two meals, so it’s a great way to treat yourself on lunch break at work. The plate is nice because of the salad, which comes with turnips and pepperoncini peppers too. Rice is your other side dish, which is an excellent alternative to the usual side dish fare you find at Mc Donald’s and the like.
As you might expect, plates aren’t for the faint of appetite. You get a lot of food, and you get to sample a lot of the signature dishes that Zankou is known for, but it might be overwhelming for one person with a tiny appetite. In that situation, you should eat the salad mostly so your plate won’t be soggy leftovers the next day.
Wraps are basically a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, and they are the perfect sized meal for those on the go. Wraps are chock full of meats, veggies and garlic sauce is served on the side. You can get everything to keep you going, and Zankou offers a vegan friendly alternative too. If you’re looking to reduce your meat intake, but you still want that protein, try their falafel balls.
If you go to a place like Zankou Chicken, you’ll find that they offer tahini sauce with some of their sides. In the case of Zankou, the tahini is actually the salad dressing used for each plate. Tahini is a popular paste made from toasted, ground hulled sesame seeds. It’s a lot like peanut butter, even having a similar consistency and thickness, but the difference is it’s made from sesame seeds.
Tahini comes from the Arabic word “tahana”, which means “to grind”. It also shares a root word meaning “flour”, depending on which dialect is speaking the term. It’s a popular side in the Mediterranean world, but it’s also an ingredient used in other dishes.
At Zankou Chicken, you can order tahini salad. The salad uses tahini as the base for a dressing, which also goes great with the sandwiches and wraps. The salad itself is simple: consisting of just tomatoes and romaine. Still, that dressing really makes the plate complete.
Tahini paste is used in many dishes of Mediterranean origin, even tahini cookies (which are very chewy and delicious). We know that sesame was mentioned in cuneiform over 4,000 years ago, leading some to believe the paste and dressings are quite old. There is also a 13th century Arabic cookbook that describes hummus using tahini paste as one of the ingredients, leading historians to believe that it’s likely tahini paste has been around for some time.
You can also buy tahini at your local super market, but be wary. The bottle contains some oil in it, so you’ll need to refrigerate your paste to get the consistency you want and avoid spoilage.
Comments Off on How Wholesaling Has Helped Strengthen Gelato Businesses
The smooth and creamy gelato is a beloved dessert in Italy but has struggled to maintain a foothold in the U.S. due to the low-quality interpretations that are currently being sold. However, there are successful gelato businesses that have crafted the tastiest recipes, and they’re finding successes beyond the typical brick and mortar store.
Gelato businesses have one thing in common, they want to be successful and create the best gelato. Most independent businesses start out with a brick and mortar store and depending on their success find themselves at a crossroads. Do they want to continue their shop and possibly expand, or add wholesaling to their business plan?
Businesses wholesale to grow their business and meet the demands of the market. When it comes to running a gelateria, wholesaling can put owners in the position of a middleman for other businesses. This can be a lucrative opportunity for many businesses that are already finding success in their brick and mortar stores. Additionally, gelato suppliers are finding the addition of wholesaling to their arsenal to be a fruitful endeavor thanks to the part of spreading their brand name outside of their reach.
As with any business decision, there are risks involved. Wholesaling can ultimately result in lower profits if there is a sudden drop in demand, leaving businesses with an abundance of products without an inventory to stock. Going full wholesale is less risky because of the lower overhead. Owning a shop comes with rent, utilities, property taxes, restocking of supplies such as gelato cups and spoons, and other expenses.
Trends Are Based on Market Demand
The success of wholesaling is dependent on the marketing demand. If the trend has been strong, your gelato business could take on a plethora of clients to cater to and bring in a steady income. If you’re planning to wholesale while running a shop, there isn’t much risk involved and really only involves an extra step.
If your business has been slow, wholesaling on the side can net you an extra revenue stream to pick up the slack of your business. It also allows you to advertise your product in multiple locations at once for cross-promotions with the businesses that you’re partnered up with.
The Bottom Line
Wholesaling has the advantage of bringing in an extra stream of income to a shop. Today, many gelato businesses are taking advantage of it to create business connections, earn reinvestment funds, and increase their market share. Selling more products without having to dish out additional funds certainly sounds appealing, doesn’t it? If your passion is driving your ambitious nature, thousands of possibilities will open up before your eyes.
Gelato Products carries thousands of premium dessert supplies such as: gelato pan liners, gelato cups, and frozen yogurt cups.
Comments Off on Tips for Starting a Frozen Yogurt Business
Starting a business is all about being prepared for certain challenges.
Opening up a frozen yogurt shop of your own can be a challenging but rewarding experience. Before you decide on going through with this plan, it’s important that you acknowledge that there will be both successes and failures. Here are some tips that will get you started.
Develop a Plan
It’s important to develop a plan before you get started on opening up a legitimate shop. Be sure that you take a look at the laws of your state to understand what you can and can’t do when it comes to building codes, regulations, and so forth.
Before you begin your search for a potential site for your shop, take the time to understand the demands and interests of your area. It’s obvious that a cold-weathered area won’t garner as much attention and business as a hotter region. One idea that will help give you an idea of your community is by creating a survey and go door-to-door or hire a research firm to take care of it for you. You’ll receive information regarding gender, income, interests, etc. These values will determine whether your business has a chance to succeed or tank.
Next, you’ll want to find competitive frozen yogurt suppliers that are willing to give you solid rates on supplies such as spoons, cups, and even a machine or two. Calculate a budget and factor in everything that you need to get up and running to see how much capital you’re going to have to place into your shop at first.
It isn’t wise to order thousands of frozen yogurt paper cups and utensils before actually committing to a plan that has a chance to succeed. Instead of wasting your precious investment, plan ahead and give yourself all the opportunities to generate a positive return. The more organized that you are, the better your investment will turn out.
Gelato Products is a leading supplier of frozen yogurt spoons, gelato cups, and high-quality supplies.

Five spice is a combination of five Asian ingredients typically used in the kitchens of Middle Eastern and Asian cooks. Five spice is best when it is used with fatty meats, like pork or goose. It’s also a good rub for chicken, and can be added to fried foods for a bit of extra flavor in the dish. It’s most popular in the restaurant setting, but does find a place in gourmet cooking at home. Many families make their own variations on five spice, typically producing something akin to seasoned salt.
Five spice is mixed according to its tradition, or background.
Chinese five spice is a golden powder that is fragrant. It has star anise, fennel, cloves, cassia, and Sichuan pepper in it. The diner should notice the flavor of star anise the most, but five spice is used sparingly in Chinese cuisine. In traditional Chinese cooking, herbs do not stand out from one another. They blend together to form a unique taste. Five spice, therefore, compliments many dishes well.
Indian five spice is used commonly by their chefs, and has a more pronounced hotness and flavor to it than the Chinese variety. In Indian cuisine, savory is the name of the game. Indian five spice tends to have cumin, balck mustard, fennel, fenugreek and nigella all in equal proportions. The spice is also used whole, and typically not ground into a powder before serving.

1919 was an exciting time for America. The Roaring Twenties were set to kick off, ushering in an era of prohibition and big band music. It was also the same year that a company called Hostess released a snack cake called “The Cupcake.”
For the early 1920s, Cupcakes were sold individually and hand frosted with either a chocolate or vanilla frosting. Some Cupcakes were available with malted milk icing, and orange Cupcakes debuted around this time as well. Hostess had higher aspirations for the cake and hired D.R. “Doc” Rice to redesign the product. He’d been hired at the company to cake dump, which meant that he took trays of cakes and dumped them onto a table to be frosted.
He first improved the dough using the ample ingredients available to him, then he took the filling concept of the Twinkie and applied it to the Cupcake. The loops on the Cupcake, which are like its signature flair, should amount to exactly seven according to Rice. That way, the customer would get a sense of both branding and quality of the product. He also used real chocolate in his frosting as well.
The Cupcakes were an immediate success. Wholesale price jumped by two cents and retail price followed suit. Doc Rice retired from Hostess in 1972, but he continued working well into his life as a consultant for other bakeries. Hostess, despite financial difficulties, has managed to stay in business with newly designed versions of hit products like the Twinkie, Cupcake and Zinger.

Foie Gras is perhaps one of the most controversial delicacies in existence. It has been enjoyed since ancient Rome, and it was shared with the Greeks too. There are references to the paste in Homer’s Odyssey. Specifically, a dream sequence involving Penelope depicts her dream to have twenty geese fattening in her farmyard. The Greek word for liver even translates to “stuffed with figs,” an apparent reference to their affinity for foie gras.
Fattening was always meant to produce larger domestic animals with more meat and a stronger flavor. The Greeks perfected this practice on geese, where intensive and sometimes force feeding was carried out.
Some accounts place the origin of foie gras with the Egyptians. They were known to be the first civilization that noticed geese would gorge themselves before migration. As geese became domesticated animals, the practice grew naturally as a side effect of keeping them.
Foie gras was served differently depending on who prepared it. It was often served at the end of the meal as a digestive aid, believed to be superfluous by some. It was usually served with a lightly toasted piece of bread. Some cultures served foie gras as the main course and provided sides like green leeks or scallops to help complete the meal.
The French did not like the taste of goose liver. They would often use chicken as a substitute. Their version is highly regarded as the definitive foie gras, a dish the British inherited as time went on.

Cooks in the Middle East were trying out something interesting during the 3rd and 4th centuries, AD. The Ancient Greeks and Romans had both perfected the art of distilling fragrance from rose petals by steeping them in water, but they were not using the extract for flavoring.
The practice of using extracts in this fashion was already well-known. Cooks had been using vanilla to flavor their foods for some time. Rose water seemed like an extension of that. The water was sprinkled over food to add fragrance and taste, but it was also used in pots and pans to coat the cooking surface.
During the Crusades, Christian crusaders found it and brought it back to Medieval England. The Turks were using the flavoring extensively, and they introduced it to Bulgaria. Bulgaria’s famed Valley of Roses at Kazanluk is still famous for its mass production of rose water, rose oil and preserves.
From the Arabs and Europeans, rose water travelled across the pond until it found a home in American cuisine. The Americans, at first, had limited applications for the substance. It was primarily found in a candy called “Turkish Delight.” Colonial Americans used rose water to flavor their dishes, like chicken pies and creamed spinach.
The Shakers also produced rose water as a product to be sold as “Double Distilled Damask Rose Water,” and it was used extensively in their apple pie with rose. Today, rose water and orange blossom water are still in use, especially in desserts like baklava. However, rose water is used interchangeably with orange blossoms.

My second go around with Lulu’s was much better than my first experience. I was in town visiting a friend who decided to take me out. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth I tried something else and was delighted to find the tastes to my liking. The pizza is particularly delicious with a large variety of toppings to choose from (try the margherita pizza that comes with buffalo mozzarella cheese).
We happen to arrive before things got busy and had the restaurant mostly to ourselves. The only issue I still have with the restaurant is the close proximity you have to your fellow diners. Our night could have gone smoother had we not been privy to a couple arguing beside us. Not the fault of Lulu’s, but potential diners should be aware.

Stick to the recommended electric grilling time for steaks, no matter the type of meat and everything will be fine! When I have a steak, everything else falls into second place. A good steak could be the star of your table, regarding the occasion, if you know how to make it.
The fastest and easiest way to make a steak at home is to grill it. Since the electric grill is the best option for most, it's recommended to learn the grilling times for steaks, no matter the type you use: beef, pork, lamb or poultry. Not knowing electric grilling times can ruin your steak and the joy of sharing a meal with your friends. You can easily grill a steak if you take into consideration the electric grilling time. First, make sure you heat your grill before laying your meat on it.
Count the seconds you can keep your hand there comfortably without it getting too hot. If you can't count more than 3 or 4 seconds it means that the grill is hot enough, and you can throw the steak on it.
Most of all, the electric grilling time for steaks depends on your meat. And don't forget that electric grills are available in two types: ones with grill surfaces on both sides and ones with only one cooking surface. And, as you can imagine, their cooking times differ.
When you want to make a steak using your electric grill, make sure you heat it before laying your meat on it. The required time for a 1-inch boneless sirloin steak, on a covered grill, it's between 5 and 11 minutes, depending on how cooked you want your steak: for medium rare, it's minutes, for a medium it's minutes, and for well done minutes. The same piece of meat cooks on an uncovered grill between 12 and 21 minutes: for medium rare — minutes, for medium — minutes, and for well done — minutes.
If you're using an uncovered electric grill, make sure you turn your steak over halfway through the cooking process. If you want, you can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
Respect the standard electric grilling time for steaks. If you want to test the cooking progress, the best way you can do it at home is to cut the steak in a spot that's not too noticeable and peek inside.
A 1-inch thick steak of boneless rib eye, tenderloin, or top loin steak will be ready on a covered grill in 4 to 10 minutes medium rare — 4 to 6 minutes; medium — 6 to 8 minutes, and well done — 8 to 10 minutes.
If you put the steak on an uncovered grill, the times will be 8 to 18 minutes medium rare — 8 to 12 minutes; medium — 12 to 15 minutes, and well done — 15 to 18 minutes. First of all, the steaks you buy at the butcher's have different degrees of thickness. Also, the texture and the fat of the meat are different, and so the steak will cook differently.
On an uncovered grill, cook it between 12 and 18 minutes, depending on your taste: minutes for medium and minutes for well done. Remember to turn your steak over when you reach half of the grilling time!
When you want a low-fat steak, you can confidently go for chicken breast. Especially boneless and skinless chicken breast. Just grill it for 4 to 6 minutes if you have a covered grill, and for 12 - 15 minutes if you have an uncovered one. Chicken is the easiest meat to grill. A medium lamb rib or loin chop with 1-inch thickness cooked on a covered grill needs 6 to 8 minutes to be medium done, and 8 to 10 minutes to be well done. As for using an uncovered grill, the time is, obviously, longer: minutes for medium, and minutes for well done.
Before grilling your steaks, make sure you trim the excess fat and the silver skin from your steaks. Season the meat the way you like it.
You should know that grilling times for steaks are always estimates because there are many other factors that affect grilling. The thickness of the steak is just one of them.
The temperature of the meat before throwing it on the grill is another. If your steaks are frozen, take them out the day before you plan on cooking them and thaw them in the refrigerator. Now you know the electric grilling time for steaks. When it comes to cooking, I only have one rule: do whatever it takes to turn the whole thing into an enjoyable experience.
When I was a little girl, I dreamed of cooking for sailors. Not because I loved food, but because I was madly in love with my godfather, who worked on a ship.
But, as they say, love lasts three years, and I took a different path: I became a journalist who enjoys food, traveling, and hiking in nature. I usually cook for myself and my daughter, but my favorite meal is the one I'm having on a mountain peak, even if it's just a sandwich and a piece of chocolate.

McDonalds will often be the first name that comes to mind when you hear the term ‘franchise’. It’s no accident that they’re one of the most recognisable brands in the UK and many other parts of the world, since their franchise model is also one of the most profitable, making McDonalds franchises highly sought after. Fast food in general is a popular sector for franchisees and with sales showing little sign of declining it will probably continue to be so. Food is an essential buy and a lot of fast food is very competitively priced, even compared with home cooking, so there is always likely to be a strong demand. A fast food franchise could suit you if you:
- Have the money to invest in a franchise
- Are prepared to work full time and often unsocial hours
- Have good management skills
- Possess a lot of stamina and are motivated to succeed
What’s This Business Opportunity All About?
Almost all the familiar fast food, coffee and snack outlets you see on every High Street are in fact franchises. They operate to a system that has often been highly tuned and perfected to ensure consistent standards of food quality and taste, hygiene and service. When you go into a McDonalds restaurant or ‘drive-thru’ you know exactly what to expect. For the business’ owner, a fast food franchise requires a significant investment of time, energy and money. The franchisor (the company you’ll be working with), will be keen to protect its reputation and standards and expects its franchisees to comply with all aspects of the business blueprint. But, as long as you don’t mind hard work and some long hours, a fast food franchise like McDonalds can be a very profitable business.

We got our first snowfall here in Wisconsin just this morning. I was definitely not expecting snow yet and not prepared for it. But it reminds me I get to take full advantage of all the comfort foods that come with the cold season.
Last night I decided to make chicken and squash soup. Its squash and pumpkin season, and I love buying the local produce available to me. I used butternut squash, golden potatoes, healing leafy greens, gut loving bone broth, and various anti-inflammatory and immune boosting herbs and spices.
Give it a try! You will not be disappointed! (I should also mention I made this in a pressure cooker so it cooked in 20 minutes. But you can cook on regular stove top – will just take more time to cook squash and potatoes.)
SQUASH & CHICKEN SOUP
(SERVES 5-6 PEOPLE)
- 3 pounds free range chicken breast
- half of one large butternut squash
- 3 large golden potatoes
- 3 liters of chicken bone broth
- 1 packet of Collagen Bone Broth
- one bunch of chopped collards
- one bunch of chopped kale
- spices: ginger, turmeric, sea salt, black pepper, garlic, and any other of your choice!
- (Optional) – I also used a few spoons of sofrito
Season and cook your chicken all the way through adding spices and sofrito. Then add the remaining ingredients with the liquid broth being added last. Make sure you have enough liquid to cover everything. If you don’t, just add water until ingredients are submerged, and adjust seasonings to you liking. Cook in pressure cooker for 20 minutes. Or on the stove top for one to two hours (until potatoes are cooked all the way through).
This soup is high in protein so you’re getting lots of aminos for building, healing and repairing the body. It’s also high in gut loving bone broth, herbs and spices, and greens that are easy to digest and breakdown, feed your good gut microbes, keep you gut cell wall strong reducing permeability. Plus its got different forms of fiber from the squash and potatoes so you stay fuller longer while pulling toxins from your bloodstream to be “pooped” out.
Let me know how you enjoy your soup or what modifications you made to personalize it to you liking. Happy cooking!
