Description of the Reference Region
Šumava mountains are among the oldest mountains in Central Europe. The mountains are spread across the Czech and German borders.
The agricultural sector in the region has undergone a transition in the last 30 years. The socialist farms were privatised, transforming the production. The current approach to farming is based on extensive use of natural resources that emphasise the high natural value of the mountain region.
Selected Value Chain
The research in Šumava is focused on cattle farms, specifically on the value chain of beef production.
The cattle farms use an extensive open rangeland. Successful farms in the region are far from using purely ‘traditional’ methods. They implement progressive methods in cattle breeding, grazing management and meat processing. Their production has been recently supported by the increasing interest of consumers in the direct purchase of farm products. Direct marketing has therefore become one of a range of new sources of income for many small farms in the region.
Multi-Actor Platform (MAP) members
The Multi-Actor Platform brings together local farmers and processors that are directly engaged in the researched value chain, alongside farmers’ associations, local and regional authorities (represented by mayors and representatives of the Pilsen Region), non-profit organisations focused on environmental protection and local development (such as Local Action Groups).

A farmer’s heart skips a beat when he sees
the harvest come safely in;
the grain fully stored in the silo,
the potatoes overflowing their bins,
the calf fully grown.
This is the fruit of his year’s labor,
the culmination of his plans and dreams,
and he aims for this, for harvest.

Lemon Chicken Cutlets with Couscous and Asparagus
Tonight I made Lemon Chicken Cutlets with Couscous and Asparagus. If you click on the link the recipe is for Turkey Cutlets, but I only had chicken breast in the house so that is what I used.
The Chicken got 4 stars, but the couscous only got 3 stars and the asparagus only got 3 stars. This will not keep me from making them again.
Tonight I used the fresh garlic I purchased from the farmer's market. All of the remaining ingredients were from Giant Eagle. I'm hoping when I make this again in the a few weeks I can say that the majority of the ingredients came from either the Farmer's Market or some local roadside stand.


Maybe it’s because I want to be alone with a pile of cupcakes at this moment (yeah… BB is nursing a gin hangover, and clearly the best remedy is something sweet and possibly even something greasy), or maybe it’s because I’m currently working with some cool-ass brides and have nothing to share with you this second, but I feel like I owe it to the world to write about cupcakes. You see, Bitchless Bride is absolutely obsessed with cupcakes and anything cake related, and when it comes time for your cake tasting, I (as your planner) always find a way to be present whether my opinion is needed or not. But here’s the thing… BB is not a fan of replacing your wedding cake for a cupcake tree.
I know that I am the minority here because cupcakes are the total rage, blah blah blah, and I am not hating on cupcakes, but a cupcake tree at your wedding screams “Sweet 16” to me. I also hate seeing you and your groom cutting into teeny tiny 6” cake, which I feel completely diminishes the effect of the cake cutting. Not to mention that the rest of us are left usually a very small, “wedding size” cupcake, and frankly as a guest, I prefer a big honking piece of cake with a chocolate covered strawberry and some raspberry coulis.
So, if you are looking for something different to get out of the cookie cutter wedding thing, a cupcake tree is not gonna break the mold. In fact, you’re sliding right into it one cupcake at a time. It has been done… and a lot. So, try something a bit more unique and cool. If you really want to get them talking… Have the pastry chef or bakery whip up a cake shaped like a hot red Ferrari, and your give your guests individual car cakes for dessert. Right? Even a Dr. Seuss style cake is fun and totally different. But, if you are crazy for cupcakes and you are hating me for writing this post, then try something a bit cooler than "the tree"… Look up and check out those small individual box cakes wrapped in chocolate... AMAZING! Or a pie cake (look down). Yup! That’s pie! Now that’s fucking cool!
But, no matter what you do, please… for the love of God, can we move on from the fucking cupcakes? I’d even settle for an old school tiered wedding cake with pillars (HA! Look up!) just so I don’t have to see one more cupcake tree. C’mon ladies, get those creative juices flowing… you CAN be different, just think out of the “cup”.


As life can be fast paced, particularly with a family, a tradition that some families still hold sacred is a special family dinner on Sunday night to reconnect with loved ones.
With the cold weather settling in for the months to come, a new cookbook comes loaded with casserole recipes for all kinds of meats, vegetables, delights wrapped in crusts or potatoes, baked pastas and even a section on breakfast casseroles for an all-out brunch feast. Betty Rosbottom’s Sunday Casseroles: Complete Comfort in One Dish is a great guide to attracting your family back to the dinner table in celebration of food.
Sunday Casseroles will be a worthy addition on your cookbook shelf as it is a great introduction to casserole making for a beginner and offers new twists for the seasoned family chef. Here’s a sampling of what Rosbottom’s latest cookbook has to offer:
Cider-Baked Pork, Red Cabbage & Apples
When the first fresh cider arrives in the market each fall, I buy it for sipping, but also for cooking hearty dishes like this casserole. Red cabbage, onions and apples are sautéed in butter, simmered in cider, and then spread in a baking dish to make a bed for pan-fried slices of pork tenderloin. After the casserole has been baked, the pork is fork-tender and so are the deep burgundy-hued cabbage and apples.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Start-to-Finish Time: 1 hour, 50 minutes
Make Ahead: Yes
1 small head red cabbage
3 tart and firm apples (Granny Smith, Jonathan or Macoun work well)
5 tbsp (70g) unsalted butter
1½ cups (190g) thinly sliced onions
1½ tbsp sugar
4½ tbsp (70ml) cider vinegar
1 tbsp fennel seeds, crushed
3 cups (720 ml) cider
2 pork tenderloins (about 1lb [455g] each), trimmed of silver skin & excess fat
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter a 9-by-13-in (23-by-33-cm) or another shallow 3-qt (2.8-L) baking dish.
2. Quarter and core the cabbage. Cut each quarter crosswise into ¼-in (6mm) wide strips to get 6 cups (655g). (Save any leftover cabbage for another use.) Quarter and core the unpeeled apples, and then cut the quarters lengthwise into ¼-in (6mm) thick slices.
3. Melt 3 tbsp of the butter in a large, heavy frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the cabbage and onions. Sauté the mixture, stirring, until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the apples, sugar, vinegar, fennel seeds, and 2½ tsp salt and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Pour in 2 cups (480 ml) of the cider and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and continue simmering until the cabbage and apples are tender, about 20 minutes. Taste the cabbage and season with more salt if needed. Transfer the cabbage mixture, along with any juices, to the prepared baking dish.
4. Cut each pork tenderloin into 1-in (2.5-cm) thick slices. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tsp salt and the pepper. Season the pork slices on both sides with this mixture.
5. Heat the canola oil in a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking, Add half of the pork slices and brown lightly, 1 minute or more per side. Remove to a dinner plate and repeat with the remaining pork. Add the remaining 1 cup (240 ml) cider to the frying pan and cook until reduced by half, whisking the browned bits on the bottom of the pan into the cider, 2 to 3 minutes or more. Whisk in the remaining 2 tbsp butter and any juices that have collected on the plate with the pork.
6. Arrange the pork slices on top of the cabbage mixture. Spoon the reduced cider over the slices. (The casserole can be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature 1 hour before continuing with the recipe.)
7. Bake the casserole, uncovered, until an instant-read thermometer registers 145°F (63°C) when inserted into the centre of a pork slice, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the casserole stand for 10 minutes.
8. Garnish the pork with a sprinkling of parsley before serving.
Individual Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheddar Gratins
Broccoli and cauliflower, those winter staples, are far more interesting combined than when served alone. In this recipe, the tender florets, which are available fresh and conveniently packaged in many supermarkets, are arranged in individual baking dishes, and napped with a rich cheddar sauce, scented with lemon. These little gratins would make a distinctive side to roast chicken or leg of lamb, or just about any beef roast.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Start-to-Finish Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Make Ahead: Yes
4 cups (430g) cauliflower florets
4 cups (240g) broccoli florets
1½ tbsp unsalted butter
1½ tbsp all-purpose flour
1½ cups (360ml) whole milk
1½ cups (150g) grated sharp white cheddar cheese
1½ tsp grated lemon zest
¾ tsp Dijon mustard
pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tbsp toasted bread crumbs
Toasted Bread Crumbs
Use a one- to two-day-old loaf of good-quality artisan-style country bread with crusts removed. (Sourdough works particularly well, but whole wheat, multigrain and rye are good, too.) Process enough slices or pieces in a food processor to make 1 cup (55g) of coarse crumbs. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium, heavy frying pan over medium heat. Add the crumbs and cook, stirring constantly, until they are crisp and rich golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. You can also use unsalted butter instead of the olive oil. (The bread crumbs can be stored in a plastic self-sealing bag and refrigerated for up to 1 week.) Makes 1 cup (55g).
1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C). Generously butter four 5½-in (14cm) gratin or crème brûlée dishes and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Add 2 tsp salt to a large saucepan of boiling water. Add the cauliflower and broccoli florets and cook until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander under cold running water until the vegetables are cool, and pat dry.
3. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1½ to 2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk and whisk constantly until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle boil, 5 to 6 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1¼ cups (125g) of the cheddar, the lemon zest, mustard, ½ tsp salt, and the cayenne. Season with more salt if needed.
4. Alternate the broccoli and cauliflower florets in single layers in each gratin dish and salt lightly. (You may have extra florets, depending on the size of your dishes.) Pour one-fourth of the sauce over the vegetables in each dish. (The gratins can be prepared up to this point 3 hours ahead; cool, cover, and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing with the recipe.)
5. Sprinkle the top of each gratin with 1 tbsp of the remaining cheddar and 1½ tsp of the bread crumbs. Bake the gratins until the cheese has melted on the top and the vegetables are hot, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
You can make this recipe in a single dish. Use a 9-by-13-in (23-by-33-cm) or another shallow 3-qt (2.8-L) baking dish. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer. Proceed with the recipe and bake for about 30 minutes.
Baked French Toast with Apples, Apricots & Cherries
One of the challenges for many cooks is figuring out what to serve overnight company for breakfast or brunch. A dish that is simple to prepare, can be assembled in advance, and delivers a bit of dazzle is the perfect solution. This recipe for baked French toast, topped with a glorious mix of fresh and dried fruits, is that kind of morning entrée. Crispy bacon or sliced ham, fresh juice, plus pots of coffee and tea would make fine accompaniments.
Prep Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes +, including time to soak the bread
Start-to-Finish Time: 2 hours, 20 minutes +
Make Ahead: Yes, partially
1 one- to two-day-old loaf good-quality artisan-style country bread
2½ cups (600ml) store-bought eggnog (see Cooking Tip)
I often serve this dish during the Christmas holidays, when eggnog is available in all the supermarkets; it’s a big time-saver. If you can’t find any, whisk together 4 egg yolks, ½ cup (100g) sugar, and 2 cups (480ml) light cream to blend. Measure 2½ cups (600 ml) for the recipe.
Apple, Apricot, Cherry Topping
8 tbsp (115g) unsalted butter
½ cup (100g) light brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1¾ lb (800g) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into ½-in (12-mm) thick wedges
¾ cup (140g) dried apricots, cut into ½-in (12-mm) dice
¼ cup (40g) dried sour cherries
¾ tsp grated lemon zest
½ cup (55g) coarsely chopped walnuts
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1. Generously butter a 9-by-13-in (23-by-33-cm) or another shallow 3-qt (2.8-L) baking dish.
2. Cut the ends off the bread, and cut the loaf into ¾-in (2-cm) thick slices. Cut large slices in half and arrange the bread on the bottom of the baking dish in a single tight layer. (Save the ends and any extra slices for another use.) Pour the eggnog evenly over the bread. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
3. For the Apple, Apricot and Cherry Topping: Melt the butter in a large, heavy frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add the brown sugar and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 1 minute to combine. Add the apple wedges and cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the apricots, cherries and lemon zest and cook for 1 minute more. (The apple mixture can be prepared 1 day ahead; cool, cover and refrigerate. Reheat before using.)
4. When ready to bake, arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375°F (190°C).
5. Remove the baking dish with the bread slices from the refrigerator and turn the slices over. Spoon the fruit mixture evenly over them, and sprinkle with the walnuts. Bake until the apples are tender when pierced with a sharp knife and lightly browned around the edges, about 40 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Brush the top of the casserole with the melted butter. Serve warm.

Bread & Butter
Pies & cakes

If I am allowed to have a gas stove I will have hot tea coffee & chocolate and hot soup and oysters.
And if I am allowed to cook in the Building I can furnish Beef steak, mutton chops, hot bread & cakes & omelets and vegetables if needed. And I wish to say that all the heaviest cooking will be done at my residence such as soup & pies, or other things that would be offensive. I can have a variety of other thins if I find that I can sell them.


One of the main areas that specialist tea producers need to get right is packaging. After all, packaging forms one of the cornerstones of good marketing (often referenced as the “7 Ps of marketing”), and it’s vital to get it right. Quality packaging suggests quality formulations, and these products can be priced with the accompanying higher margin that most specialist tea brands want to be able to charge.
The big question that many niche and independent tea brands have is whether they should use tea bags to package their custom tea blends. The answer is that there are pros and cons to all types of tea packaging materials depending on your customers, their needs, your budget, and your brand.
What sort of packaging can a speciality tea company help you with?
Let’s take a closer look at tea bags as a packing option for niche and specialty blends. There are pros and cons that must be considered.
The pros of tea bags are:
– They are easy for the customer to use
– They are cost-effective
– Tea bags are quick and can hold small tea leaves and spices for a rapid infusion
– They are easily disposable and most are also recyclable
– Customers like them for everyday products, and they can also be easily transported
However, there are some possible cons to think about:
– Typically, tea bags are used for lower-end teas – think “everyday” blends rather than premium products
– Some tea bags are made with bleached products and may be less environmentally friendly
– There are some cases where fungus grows on the contents inside tea bags, but this can be mitigated by using a specialty tea company with high standards and quality control mechanisms
– Some tea bag materials contain chemicals that are unwanted by customers
How to pick the right packaging
Perhaps the best approach is to choose a speciality tea company that offers product and packaging consultancy and design as part of its tea development and white labeling service. Some higher-end brands will be eager to position themselves as luxury products and charge the appropriate margin, and other types of packaging, such as pyramid tea bags or even loose leaf tea, may be more appropriate.
A speciality tea company can deliver market research that establishes what your target audience is looking for, so that you can create the right product and packaging solutions that meet these needs. The brand needs to be the primary thing that drives your ultimate decision. If you are looking to create premium, high-end and luxury tea products for special occasions, a regular tea bag may not be the most appropriate packaging for your custom blend. However, if you are marketing a more everyday tea – albeit still of high quality – tea bags may be a great solution, especially when they are made from eco-friendly, unbleached and recyclable materials.
Work with your tea company, think about your brand, and above all, understand what your customers want and keep these factors in mind as you make your decision.


Often I see people trying to reduce their weight by only focusing on fat and calorie restrictions. While those two steps can help (eliminating bad fats and increasing good fats…a whole different post) watching carbohydrates through sugars intake is critical to a healthy metabolism.
When I challenge clients to limit their diets to 60 grams of carbs per day I’m often met optimism. I usually hear things like “I don’t eat that many carbs” or “I eat really good foods” or “I’m a vegetarian”. Most think it will be smooth sailing until they start the first day count. When I contact them for their first coaching session, if they haven’t called, texted or emailed already, the first thing I hear is “DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CARBS ARE IN [insert random food]!!!” Yes. Yes I do.
The sad truth is many processed foods, including healthy products, contain large amounts of refined sugars. These sugars (carbs) are often hidden in many of the foods and drinks we consume every day without us even knowing it.
A few sugar facts
From a weight loss perspective it is very important to know a few facts about sugar and how to recognize it.
The following list details describes facts about sugar:
Labels. Read them!! Sugar comes in a variety of fancy names. It can be listed as brown sugar, palm sugar, cane sugar, corn syrup, fructose, fruit juice concentrate, glucose (dextrose), high-fructose corn syrup, honey, invert sugar, lactose, maltose, molasses, raw sugar, (table) sugar (sucrose), syrup.
What ever it’s “called” doesn’t really matter. Sugar is sugar. All should limited or avoided.
The Evil Effects of Sugar
Simple sugars are EMPTY calories. On their own, have no nutritional value (no vitamins, minerals, etc). So why eat them?
Sugar Increases our blood sugar and insulin levels which can cause our bodies to begin storing and stop burning fat. This can lead to insulin resistance and metabolic system (ie diabetes)
Eating sugar frequently is the usual
culprit of those highs and lows of hunger. Eliminating sugar is the first step to normalizing cravings.
Sugar is known to suppress the immune system. Eating or drinking 100 grams (8 tbsp.) of sugar, the equivalent of one 12-ounce can of soda, can reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill germs by forty percent. The immune-suppressing effect of sugar starts less than thirty minutes after ingestion and may last for five hours. In contrast, the ingestion of complex carbohydrates, or starches, has no effect on the immune system.
Sugar also known to:
-Disrupts the body’s mineral balance.
-Contributes to hyperactivity, anxiety and depression.
– Damage The kidneys .
– Increases the risk of coronary heart disease (#1 killer of women in the US)
– Contributes to diabetes.(insulin resistance)
– Contributes to osteoporosis.(eliminates minerals that support bond health)
– Causes food allergies.
You’re probably thinking, “But I don’t eat that much sugar”
That may be very true for some people but the vast majority of Americans do. Many people don’t realize is that most of the sugar in our diet comes from the processed foods that we eat, not the sugar that we add to our cooking and meals.
Ok. You want to lose weight by reducing sugar. What should you do?
– Eliminate. Learn to enjoy foods that are naturally sweet, without added sugar.
– Replace. when cooking or baking, reduce the amount of sugar indicated in a recipe. Use only 2/3 to 3/4 of a cup and replace omitted sugar with an equal amount of non-fat dry milk to increase the nutritional value. You may also experiment with products like stevia or fruit substitutes.
– Spice it up! Use spices and herbs to promote flavor often added by sugar. Aromatic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger will enhance the flavor of foods naturally.
– READ the labels!!! Take your time shopping and read labels!!! You will soon realize the amount of hidden sugar in processed foods. Remember to watch for those fancy sugar names!
When reading “Nutrition Facts” labels remember that 7 grams of sugar is equal to around 1 tablespoon of sugar.
Energy bars and drinks are a common source of hidden sugar – look for ones that have less than 12-15 grams of sugar per serving.
– Be Aware! “Diet foods” like reduced fat and fat-free products use sugars to often mask the loss of flavor when fat is removed.
– Coffee Breaks can be deadly! Read nutritional values on your favorite coffee chain drinks of choice. You’ll probably be shocked to see some drinks can meet your daily carb intake! Choose different options, light syrup or add the sugar yourself to control the carbs. I usually carry stevia packs with me to avoid this.
– ADD! Mix fresh fruit into plain yogurt. Many fruity yogurts are loaded with added sugar. Just remember fructose turns instantly to fat!
– Live and Learn. Switch from those high sugar fruits to those lower in sugar like grapefruit, strawberries and other berries. Choose fruit when it’s in season and it shouldn’t need any added sweetness.

When dried properly, food can endure uncertainty, which is why dry food is so unusual in a hurry and why it is fantastic to stay close to you during catastrophic events.

This is where food dehydrators come in: they are small, offer lots of drying space, keep temperatures low, and ideal drying without cooking.
At the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliance Lab, we tried nine separate brand dryers of all sizes, shapes, and styles. We rated the implementation on standardization and how quickly they dried crunchy apples, just the tip of the iceberg. We have found that while most dryers generally work, the most significant disparity is in their suitability: the simplicity of the panel to collect, use and clean the instinct and specificity of the control panels, and that’s just the part visible from the iceberg.

A Food Dehydrator Review – How to Compare Food Dehydrator Products and Features
While assessing and inspecting food dehydrators, the beneath item highlights and usefulness should be thought of and analyzed across various units and brands. One approach to think about various brands of food dehydrators, that contain comparative highlights, is to assess the food dehydrators on a cost for every square foot of drying region (total cost isolated by complete drying zone) while likewise thinking about the brand, notoriety and item surveys of the dehydrator units that are being thought of.
You can assess various brands of food dehydrators, which have different items includes, including utilizing a similar cost for every square foot of all-out drying territory and afterward actually choose if extra highlights merit the additional expense per square foot.
Total Drying or Dehydrating Area – How much space does the dehydrator need to dry food? The all-out getting dried out zone is communicated in square feet and is determined as follows: The result of a) the quantity of drying carts increased by the size of the drying plate (length by width in inches) separated by b) 144 square inches. The complete drying out zone decides how much food you can dry at once. The entire drying region should be satisfactory for the most significant measure of food you will dry during a twenty-four-hour time frame. As a harsh general guideline, roughly one pound of food can be dried per square foot of drying territory. In any case, this sum will fluctuate contingent upon the sort of food being dried, the thickness of the food cuts, and the food’s water content.
Air Flow – Dehydrators expel dampness from food using warmth and wind streams. Food dehydrator wind streams are planned either on a level plane or vertically. Flat wind stream food dehydrators have their warming component and fan situated on one side of the dehydrator. The drying plate that holds the food is organized like drawers inside the food dehydrator. Ordinarily, flat wind current dehydrators are better at getting dried out various sorts of food simultaneously as the even air current blends the food seasons, not precisely vertical wind stream dehydrators. Additionally, even wind current dehydrators better keep food juices from trickling down onto the warming component, in this manner, making cleaning more straightforward.
Vertical wind stream dehydrators have their warming component and fan situated at the base of the dehydrator. The drying plate that holds the food is stacked on the head of the base. Since the drying plate and food are stacked on the head of the warming component, drying temperatures can change between the top and base food drying plates. Vertical wind stream dehydrators may require trading of top and base drying plate, during the getting dried out procedure, with the goal that an in any event, drying impact is accomplished over all the food and drying plate.
Thermostat – An indoor regulator is a gadget used to direct the temperature of a warming or cooling framework. The framework’s temperature is kept up close to an ideal, picked sum. An indoor regulator does this by turning warming or chilling frameworks on or, varying, to keep up the ideal temperature. A food dehydrator’s movable indoor regulator ought to have a decent scope of drying temperatures, commonly 85 to 155 degrees Fahrenheit, to deal with various kinds and measures of food.
A food dehydrator without an indoor regulator will get dried out at a consistent, perpetual warmth, however, at a conceivably expanding temperature inside the dehydrator. This can cause case solidifying; food with a dry outside, however, with dampness and possibly microorganisms within.
Watts – The vitality expended or utilized by a dehydrator is estimated in watts, like that of the light. The watt intensity of a food dehydrator ought to be considered corresponding to the entire drying region. Additional drying plate and more important dehydrator measurements ought to require more watts utilized by the dehydrator to guarantee adequate food drying out. You can analyze the vitality utilized or required between various dehydrators by contrasting the watts per square foot of the complete drying zone. Separate the watts of the dehydrator unit by the all-out drying zone to get the watts per square foot.
Price – A decent measurement to analyze diverse dehydrators that differ in size, complete drying region, wattage, and add value is to consider their expense per square foot of all-out drying region. To ascertain, partition a food dehydrator’s expense by that unit’s free drying zone.
Food Dehydrator Buying Tips and Uses
How would you purchase a food dehydrator? What are watts on a food dehydrator? All the more critically, why own a food dehydrator? In this article, you’ll become familiar with somewhat more pretty much each of the three inquiries and why they are significant and why you ought to consider possessing a food dehydrator.
When hoping to choose a food dehydrator, don’t overspend and never purchase a large food dehydrator unit if you won’t use it. Purchase the size you need more often than not, individuals purchase a food dehydrator that is either excessively modest or too costly, and both can be similarly as terrible. If you purchase an extremely costly food dehydrator believing it will be the best, it may not suit your necessities. Or on the other hand, on the off chance that you get one too modest reasoning, its more efficient it might not have enough capacity to do what you need or even dry the food as far as possible.
A food dehydrator power is estimated in wattage, and you can think about this, much like a light. If you have a 100 watt light that is splendid, right? Anyway, how bright would a 100-watt bulb be in a 2000 sq foot zone? It’d, in any case, be brilliant; however, it wouldn’t fill the entire zone. So if you purchase a food dehydrator with a 20 plate limit and you utilize each of the 20 plates and top them off, and you have 500 watts of intensity, it may not dry it entirely through. Or maybe you should concentrate on littler bunches of perhaps 8-10 plate all out drying out simultaneously. My preferred kind of food dehydrator is most likely a 1000 watt dehydrator that can be extended to 20 plates. Again I’d never utilize every one of the 20 plates on the double for the reality it doesn’t get dried out also. On the furthest edge of the range, if you purchase a 1000 watt food dehydrator and you just utilize two plates in it may over get dried out and that you don’t need either. If at any point in question, go for 1000 watts and ten plates to keep it at a fair compromise.
Abstain from blending an excessive number of various types of things in a similar bunch of a food dehydrator. If you need to a wide range of things that get dried out at various levels you can wind up with certain things over dried out, and some under and having under got dried out food leaves the opportunity the food could create microscopic organisms which could give you on the evening in the restroom. Possessing a food dehydrator and having the correct one is as significant as utilizing the food dehydrator effectively.
If you are addressing why you ought to try and own a food dehydrator, here are a couple of motivations to contemplate. If you like to purchase dried organic products or meats, you realize they can be costly. Anyway, drying them and getting dried out them yourself can spare a lot of cash and that by itself will rapidly pay for the $60-$100 you could spend on one. Another extraordinary thing with a food dehydrator is drying and relieving meats. On the off chance that you like dried and dried out meat, this is incredible. Again cash becomes possibly the most crucial factor here as a 1lb pack of locally acquired jerky goes for around 5 dollars or more. You could, without much of a stretch, make 2 lbs or more at a similar cost yourself.
Another incredible thing about a food dehydrator is that you can make your snacks with as little or as much salt and sugar as you’d like, and you know precisely what is in your food. These tips may simply help you whenever you choose to purchase a food dehydrator or when you are doing your next clump of got dried out food.
Four Key Factors to Consider When Buying a Food Dehydrator
Looking at this logically, getting dried out food isn’t generally advanced science. A dehydrator should simply keep up a steady temperature and wind current. Most dehydrators have an indoor temperature regulator to keep up the ideal temperature and a fan, to course, new dry air. I firmly suggest avoiding any dehydrator that doesn’t accompany a fan and indoor regulator. Since they all keep up the temperature and wind current, virtually all models of dehydrator set aside about a similar effort to dry a similar food. So when you are looking for a dehydrator, it isn’t generally proper to scan for one that professes to dry foods quicker than another. Be that as it may, there are other significant variables to consider when choosing which dehydrator to purchase. The four key elements when choosing what dehydrator to purchase are:
Warmth and Air Flow
Materials and Quality
There are two essential dehydrator structures: Stackable Tray Dehydrators; and Shelf Tray Dehydrators. Every one of these two dehydrator types has its particular favorable circumstances and drawbacks. I will allude to these two structures as I survey every one of the components underneath.
Warmth and Air Flow The most significant interesting point when purchasing a dehydrator is even warmth and air circulation. There is nothing more disappointing than having some portion of your cluster get a lot drier than another part. Lopsided warming and wind current can cause the food that is nearer to the warmth and air source get drier a lot quicker than the food that is further away.
Warmth and Air Flow – Shelf Tray Dehydrators – The warmth and wind current of rack food dehydrators are commonly exceptionally even as a result of the idea of the structure. The plate in a rack dehydrator slides out and looks and works only like the plate in your regular stove. This kind of food dehydrator, for the most part, has the warming component and fan mounted in the rear of the unit, and the warm wind streams on a level plane over all the plate uniformly. The most widely recognized rack dehydrators are made by Excalibur.
Warmth and Air Flow – Economy Stackable Dehydrators – Uneven warmth and wind stream are painful that is discovered solely in certain stackable food dehydrators, particularly the more affordable retail establishment models. Stackable food dehydrators regularly have their warmth source mounted in the base of the unit, so the plate on the base gets a lot of the warmth and wind stream. Numerous economy models do exclude a fan. On account of the vertical warmth and wind stream, proprietors of the economy stackable dehydrators must turn their plate intermittently to maintain a strategic distance from over-drying a few plates and under-drying others. I propose that you maintain a strategic distance from the economy stackable dehydrators.
Warmth and Air Flow – Quality Stackable Dehydrators – The more up to date and more excellent stackable food dehydrator models are designed to give considerably more even warmth and wind stream than the modest models. For the individuals who lean toward the stackable plate dehydrators, I suggest L’Equip and American Harvest/Nesco brand dehydrators. The L’Equip and American Harvest dehydrators are planned so that the fan and warmth source is closed from the plate to keep the base plate from overabundance heat presentation. The warm, dry air in these dehydrators goes up through passage like pipes in the focal point of every plate and is conveyed to every plate like a home’s focal air framework conveys molded air to each room in a house. No plate pivot is required for the L’Equip and American Harvest/Nesco food dehydrators.
Access Another factor to consider when buying a dehydrator is the straightforward entry to the plate. You have to get at the dehydrator plate when getting ready and setting up the food for drying out when you keep an eye on the food’s advancement during the drying procedure, and when you are prepared to expel, you are got dried out food from the plate for capacity. Setting up, keeping an eye on, and expelling food in a rack dehydrator couldn’t be simpler. Every plate pulls out exclusively, much the same as the plate in your conventional broiler. With a rack dehydrator, there is no compelling reason to object with the plate above or underneath the plate you are taking a shot at. The story is totally unique for stackable dehydrators. On the off chance that you need to get to a plate in the stack, you have to lift off the entirety of the plate above it. Lifting off higher plate can not exclusively be troublesome, yet can likewise cause baffling mishaps and spills if the plate overturn. Some stackable dehydrators have 6, 10, 12, or even up to 20 plates. It’s critical to consider how it might be somewhat bulky to work with such a significant number of plates stacked on the head of one another.
Adaptability When you put resources into a bit of hardware like a dehydrator, you need it to be as flexible as could be expected under the circumstances. While considering between the rack plate dehydrators and the stackable plate dehydrators, everyone has an alternate favorable position over the other with regards to flexibility. Above all else, the rack plate dehydrator has an extraordinary bit of leeway of permitting freedom between plate for times when you wish to get dried out “tall” things.
Much like a traditional stove, you can permanently expel plate to have as much vertical freedom between plate as you need. For instance, the stackable dehydrator permits you to make dried blossoms and fantastic artworks (for example, batter artistry, dried apple craftsmanship, some dirt artworks, and so forth.) that couldn’t, in any case, fit in the little space between stackable plate. You can likewise make yogurt in your containers in a rack dehydrator that would not be conceivable in a stackable dehydrator.
Even though the stackable dehydrators don’t have a lot of freedom between plate, they do have a bit of leeway that the rack dehydrators don’t have: expandability. Stackable dehydrator models usually accompany 4, 6, 8, or 10 plates directly out of the case. Be that as it may, you can buy an extra plate to build the limit of your dehydrator as your drying out necessities develop. Stackable dehydrators accompany enough warming and wind current ability to extend to in any event double the quantity of plate that they initially accompany.
Then again, due to the limitations of their crate plan, rack dehydrators can not be extended. On the off chance that you grow out of your rack dehydrator, you need to buy a different unit to expand your drying limit rather than merely buying some extra plate.
Materials and Quality Finally, when making a dehydrator buy, you need it to last. The entirety of the dehydrators we offer at Meat Processing Products is top-notch models with numerous year guarantees. Most are made of substantial food-grade FDA endorsed plastic materials. In any case, numerous individuals are worried about the chance of plastic vapor or synthetic compounds filtering into foods at warm temperatures. Even though we can’t affirm whether this is valid, and the FDA shows that these materials are sheltered, it is food for thought. Therefore, just as for the extraordinary look and apparent sturdiness, numerous individuals decide to buy an all-hardened steel model dehydrator. Tempered steel rack dehydrators are made by numerous makers.
Presently you can discover the health benefits of a food dehydrator
There are a couple of “absolute necessities” kitchen apparatuses that you ought to have around your kitchen, for example, a toaster oven, microwave, blender, espresso producer, and different machines and utensils. Consistently developments are being made, and new items enter the market, numerous that are well worth adding to your assortment, including the present profoundly effective and valuable food dehydrator. The food dehydrator has an immense number of employments from keeping food new (for mind-boggling measures of time), maybe to be made into stews, later on, to keep dry food fixed for whoever needs to “get and go” with a solid tidbit.
The dietary benefit of the foods that are got dried out is influenced somewhat anyway. Most nutrients are held, and the mineral substance isn’t influenced in any way. The more significant part of the phytochemicals in vegetables are unaffected also. A few phytochemicals, lycopene and polyphenols, are, in reality, more thought after the drying out procedure, and an extraordinary advantage is that dried out foods are more calorie and supplement thick also.
Another advantage of drying out foods is that they don’t hold the danger of botulism contaminants that wet canned foods do; even dried meats are sans chance if they are handled at the correct temperature for the suggested measure of time.
There are numerous advantages to food drying out, and they run from safe stockpiling for an all-inclusive measure of time, forestalling deterioration, and even jam the delightful taste. Some food truly profits by being got dried out, and it can make the experience of eating them considerably more agreeable.
There are different sorts of food dehydrators out there, and they come in various sizes, models, and value ranges. Furthermore, most food dehydrators are accessible in three distinct arrangements.
1. Those that blow hot air from a component just underneath the machine and get dried out whatever is kept in that lower compartment.
2. Those that blow from the head of the machine and have compartments effectively got to and opened from above.
3. To wrap things up are the food dehydrators that have a warming dock on their site that permits you to expand the compartment and spot the food in for lack of hydration.
Working a Food Dehydrator
Commonly you’ll simply turn the food dehydrator on and let the procedure run its course anyway. It is essential to recall that not all dehydrators have similar force levels, and not all foods dry out at a similar rate. A few models take longer than others, and it is imperative to ensure your food gets got dried out to have it keep going a satisfyingly long measure of time.
Simple to Use
It is amazingly simple to dry out food and is as straightforward as handling by flipping on the “on” switch once the food you are drying out is in the correct compartment. You can locate the ordinary occasions for every food to get dried out for your model on the web. You’ll additionally need to ensure that delicious foods, for example, wet natural products or meat, are appropriately positioned in your dehydrator. Some dehydrators will have an explicit food rack for juicier foods to be set on, and others won’t.
Probably the best advantage of dried out foods is that they’re so versatile; simply put them in a capacity pack, pop them in your purse or knapsack, and you’re all set. Dried natural products are additionally an excellent option to your morning oat also, blistering or cold, and you can blend them in with your yogurt or as an option to a handcrafted trail blend. Dried out foods likewise utilize less space with regards to capacity, so they’re the ideal, helpful decision for excursions and outdoors trips. Main concern, each kitchen ought to have a food dehydrator in it.


so i haven't been all that inspired to write as of late, what with the heart walk monster gobbling up my entire life for 3 months and then the subsequent detox that i fear i haven't come out of as of yet. there have been some great strides in my life as of late that i hope to share soon. but as for now, i want to get back to the blogging world. maybe pick up a few more followers, but honestly be a steward of the creative juices that may be. i want to redirect this blog to house several of my ideas, thoughts and favorite things, not just my writing. with this move, i hope to be able to blog more versus waiting in the wings for some magical cue for literary inspiration.
speaking of juices, i want to share with you a great recipe i made up last night for the juciest turkey burgers ever (FOR-E-VER....thanks sandlot). if you know me, you know i love to cook and try out new things. my whole family does and i guess i am trying to keep the trend consistent. i had a friend over for an impromptu dinner which yielded a great recipe. i like using turkey because it is leaner, but this most certainly can be made with beef. measurements will not be accurate, so let your olfactory senses guide the way!
1 lb turkey meat (i get 50% fat free. the 99% fat free is just too dry. get more meat if you want bigger burgers!)
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
2 tsp oregano
1/2 cup bread crumbs (for binding)
half an onion, diced (i like vidalia, but maybe i'm partial)
healthy dash of red wine (this is the secret to major juicy heaven)
cheese of choice
pinch of salt
fresh cracked pepper
:::the main register to know the amount of ingredients is correct is by your nose. if it smells too salty, put more bread crumbs in. if it doesn't smell strong enough, add more worcestershire sauce. make it your own, to your tastes! for me, i love lots of worcesterhire and heaps of fresh cracked pepper.:::
mix all ingredients in a medium bowl by hand. take the side of your hand to score the meat into 4 parts to make sure your patties will be a consistent size. take 1/4 of meat and make into a patty. hint: make the center thinner (to be shaped like a blood cell) to make them cook flat and not into a ball. repeat with remaining meat. in skillet, heat olive oil (i love gia russa extra virgin olive oil) on medium for frying purposes. when olive oil begins to ripple, crack fresh ground pepper in the oil to enhance flavor. place the 4 patties in olive oil to cook. flip when you see half the meat cooked up the side. cooking time about 10 minutes (5 minutes/side). do not press the burgers down with spatula or the juices will burst out! once done, place cheese of choice (i like a spreadable swiss cheese by laughing cow) on burger (while still on skillet) and allow to melt. remove from skillet when cheese is melted. dress as you wish. enjoy!

Decide how many cups of coffee you measure the grounds and water needed.A traditional coffee cup holds six ounces; a normal measuring cup holds eight. The best ratio is two tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 ounces of water.
If conventional coffee has grown tiresome, add some chocolate to your coffee. Dark chocolate coffee provides a good amount of energy for more energy.
You don’t have to try the cold turkey method when attempting to reduce your caffeine intake. You can make your own “semi” caffeine-free brew that is ground with equal parts decaf and de-caf beans. If you’re using pre-ground coffee, simply use half of each when you make coffee.
Don’t make iced coffee by pouring hot coffee into a glass of ice cubes.This will water down version of coffee.Then, when they are frozen, just remove them and let them melt.
If you are a parent whose children do not permit leisurely coffee drinking at home, find a coffee drive-thru several minutes away. You have the whole trip home to enjoy your children and easily get your caffeine fix.
Do you sweeten your coffee with artificial sweetener? These sweeteners can change how your coffee tastes which might not be a good thing. If you must use an artificial sweetener, limit it to only a half a packet.
Consider adding warm milk instead of sugar or other sweetening products. Warm milk will add a sweet flavor that takes the place of cream. It is a healthy alternative to both cream or sugar.
If coffee is your thing, you will see that a bad cup of coffee is never good. With the knowledge you have gained here, you now know how to easily make the perfect cup of coffee. Using what you have learned will help you make a delicious cup every time.

What it is: A classic British pub snack and picnic food, Scotch eggs are hard-cooked eggs, encased in sausage and breadcrumbs, deep-fried and typically served cold.
Where it comes from: The snack’s origins are disputed and its association with Scotland obscure. The posh London gourmet shop Fortnum & Mason claims to have invented Scotch eggs for well-to-do travelers in 1738. “The eggs would have been smaller in those days,” the company’s archivist, Dr. Andrea Turner, told The Telegraph. “They would have been pullet’s eggs rather than hen’s eggs, and the meat would have been gamier, like a strong Victorian pate.”
Other theories suggest the eggs evolved from nargisi kofta, an Indian dish of hard-cooked eggs wrapped in ground lamb, or pasties, savory meat pies from Cornwall.
What to do with it: At Blokes & Birds in Lakeview, Chef Greg Cannon wraps the eggs in his house-made Oxford sausage and serves them with sweet mustard sauce for brunch. Other possible condiments include chili sauce, marinara, Worcestershire and even ketchup. For a localized variation, try Chicago eggs made with Italian sausage and garnished with giardiniera.
Blokes & Birds’ Scotch eggs
Chef Greg Cannon
6 eggs, hard-cooked
2-1/2 pounds Oxford sausage or breakfast sausage
1 cup panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)
2 teaspoons dried savory or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground mace or to taste
2 raw eggs, well beaten with 2 tablespoons water
Peanut oil for frying
Divide the sausage into six thin patties and shape around the eggs. Combine the panko, savory and mace in a shallow dish. Dip the sausage-wrapped eggs in the beaten egg mixture and roll in the seasoned panko until well covered. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees in a deep-fryer or deep heavy pot. Cook the eggs, in batches if necessary, until well browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. 6 servings.


How do our bodies absorb magnesium?
30-40% of the ingested magnesium is absorbed, but the absorption of magnesium depends on the amount being ingested. The amount of absorbed magnesium is inversely proportional to ingested magnesium. The higher magnesium in ingested food, the lower its absorption and vice versa. Some foods increase or decrease magnesium absorption and here are some of them:
Avoid calcium supplements and calcium-rich food for at least 2 hours before or after magnesium-rich meals or magnesium supplements because both will compete against each other for their absorption in the intestine.
Avoid zinc supplements and zinc-rich food because they combine to magnesium in the intestine and decreases their absorption.
3) Coffee and tea
Avoid drinking coffee and tea after meals as they contain tannic acid. Tannic acid combined with magnesium, forming a complex which interfere with magnesium absorption.
4) Vitamin D
It plays a significant role in magnesium absorption, as it encourages the intestinal cells to absorb more magnesium. Magnesium deposition in the bones is affected by vitamin D. Thus, the levels of the vitamin should be normal to protect against or treat magnesium deficiency. Sun is a natural source of vitamin D especially during midday, and that will help with elevating vitamin D level, which will increase magnesium absorption.
People who drink too much alcohol increase their magnesium elimination in the urine.
6) Raw food
Cooking or blanching vegetable causes magnesium to disintegrate by the heat. It is better to consume magnesium-rich food raw to maintain their nutritional value.

Berries In Your Cereal – From Where?
By Donald K. Allen, MS, DVM
I’m a raspberry-aholic. I admit it. There is nothing finer in life to eat than raspberries, unless it is raspberries with dark chocolate. So, imagine my delight when I saw breakfast cereals with “more berries” and more varieties, like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc. But, wait, with today’s food crises occurring more often, I wondered where these freeze-dried berries were coming from. Are they from the USA, Mexico, or South America? Guess again.
My first call was to Kellogg’s, and I asked if they were buying their freeze-dried strawberries from China. The answer was, “We do not buy any finished product from China.” Hmmm. What does “finished product” mean? Is it not “finished” until it is in the box, ready to be sold? A follow-up e-mail stated, “Kellogg sources vitamins from a number of countries, including a small amount from China. Because of the Quality Assurance programs we have in place, we are confident of the safety of these ingredients.” Did you know that the PRC forbids foreign inspection of farms?
I contacted Post also and got a denial that they were buying ingredients from China. “Please be assured that none of the ingredients used in the manufacturing of Post General are from China.”
Next I contacted the biggest strawberry producer in Florida and asked about freeze-dried strawberries. The CEO answered, saying that no freeze-drying was performed in Florida, but that he believed freeze-drying was being done in California. Finally I e-mailed the California Strawberry Commission and here’s their answer: “Thank you for contacting the California Strawberry Commission with your question. The origin of the freeze-dried strawberries used as ingredients in many cereals is difficult to determine. There is no public source of information regarding origin, imports, exports and usage of freeze-dried strawberries as an ingredient. Our industry does not directly manufacture freeze-dried strawberries, but frozen strawberries from California are often used to manufacture freeze-dried strawberries. Much of the world’s freeze-drying production capacity is in China and in some cases frozen strawberries produced in California are shipped to China, dried, and then returned to the US for ingredient use. However, production of strawberries in China has increased over the last few years and may now exceed US strawberry production, so it is likely that much of their domestic production is used to manufacture frozen and freeze-dried strawberry ingredients.”
Thank you, Congress, for first allowing more and more food products and ingredients from China and other “developing” countries, and secondly for allowing US companies to hide that fact from the public. This is just one more negative effect of moving toward a “one world” or “global economy.” I guess I’ll just have to buy my fruits and vegetables locally, or raise them myself.

How much better would you feel about drinking juice from a box if they box actually looked just like the fruit you were about to imbibe?
That was the question raised by Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa when he created these amazing looking (and fresh!) fruit juice boxes.
We think the banana and fruit designs are delicious and pretty, but we’re not really sure what the bottom ones are. Are they coconuts or kiwis, and is that box really appetizing? Can you imagine a giant Tropicana jug covered in orange peel? Now that would be cool!

Roasting coffee transforms the chemical and physical properties of green coffee beans into roasted coffee products. The roasting process is what produces the characteristic flavor of coffee by causing the green coffee beans to change in taste.
Unroasted beans contain similar if not higher levels of acids, protein, sugars, and caffeine as those that have been roasted, but lack the taste of roasted coffee beans due to the Maillard and other chemical reactions that occur during roasting.
The majority of coffee is roasted on a large scale, but small-scale roasting has grown with the trend toward specialty shops.
Hot-air roasters force heated air through a screen or perforated plate under the coffee beans with sufficient force to lift the beans. Heat is transferred to the beans as they tumble and circulate within this fluidized bed. Some coffee roasters use names for the various degrees of roast, such as City Roast and French Roast, for the internal bean temperatures found during roasting.
