Culinary SOS: Cleo's Brussels sprouts. 100 things to do with a Meyer lemon. IF Cézanne had lived not in France but in Southern California, his still lifes would have overflowed with Meyer lemons. Plump, smooth-skinned, colored an unmistakable dark yellow -- canary yellow, the color of egg yolks or the sun at noon -- they're sweeter than other lemons, with an intoxicating aroma that has hints of honey and thyme. Now is the perfect time to revel in them, as the harvest peaks and farmers market stalls, produce aisles and, if you're lucky, backyard trees are loaded with fruit.

A cross between a lemon and a sweet orange, imported to the U.S. from China exactly 100 years ago by the man whose name they bear, the Meyer lemon is a furiously addictive fruit. With sweeter juice, a thinner peel, less acid and a more floral scent (and taste) than other lemon varieties, Meyers are as much fun to cook with as they would be to paint. In fact, we're counting the ways. High on the list are a few fantastic recipes. Here are the top 100 things to do with a Meyer lemon. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Consult your doctor before trying this routine! On the advice of a good friend, I have recently started on a cleansing morning routine that includes mixing freshly squeezed citrus juice with a tablespoon of Psyllium seed husks, ground seeds and spices. This concoction is not for everybody to try, and you’ll see why! Yet, after making this morning drink from Monday thru Friday (downed first thing in the morning, before any food or beverages such as coffee or tea), I do think it not only helps one lose weight, but, I feel it also helps improve blood circulation, as well as provide extra energy throughout the morning and afternoon.

I notice this extra energy during my exercise routines, after about two-hours or so of having first consumed the elixer earlier in the morning… When I first tried mixing a tablespoon of Psyllium seed husks with just plain water, the task of drinking it was very cumbersome. Rundles Morning Miracle Beverage Yield: 1 beverage/serving. Ingredients: ¼ teaspoon of Turmeric. Ayurveda Health Retreat | Ayurvedic Recipes. Recipe by Richard Masla ND In America, downing a hearty grain dish would not be called fasting. But in India kitchari - a soupy porridge made from rice and mung beans, lightly spiced with ginger, cilantro, and other spices - is considered a fasting food and is used to purify digestion and cleanse systemic toxins. Ayurvedic physicians often prescribe a kitchari diet before, during, and after Pancha karma, a rejuvenative treatment that cleanses toxins stored in bodily tissues as it restores systemic balance. Kitchari provides solid nourishment while allowing the body to devote energy to healing.

You can safely subsist on kitchari anytime in order to build vitality and strength as it helps balance all three doshas. For restless vata, the warm soup is grounding; for fiery pitta, its spices are calming; and for chilly kapha, it provides healing warmth. Kitchari tastes like a cross between a creamy rice cereal and a light dal, or lentil soup. This recipe serves 4 comfortably. Recipes. Ayurvedic Cooking is about guiding principles rather than rules: Food should be light, easy to digest and assimilateHeavier food is OK in Winter but in Summer it must be lighterUse spices intelligently to balance the doshasCooked food is considered easier to digest than rawCertain foods do not go well with others eg: Milk does not go well with sour fruits or banana, yoghurt and banana are also incompatible.Different sorts of food are required at different times eg: pregnancy and post illnessIdeal foods are ‘tridoshic’, balancing all three doshas eg: green mung dhal and coriander A few pointers on Ayurvedic ingredients: ‘Milk’:Throughout these recipes ‘milk’ can be taken as cow or goat’s milk, rice milk, almond milk or other milk substitute.

This is an Italian street food I first tried in Liguria, close to the southern coast of France. A kind of savoury pancake made from ground chickpeas made into a batter with water and seasoned with olive oil, black pepper, salt and sometimes with rosemary. It is a brilliant snack food and perfect for those who have an allergy to gluten and cannot eat wheat, particularly in pasta-eating regions where avoiding gluten can be a real challenge. Traditionally Farinata is cooked in a wide flat copper pan with a 4-5 cm lip in a hot wood fired oven.

In Nice, just back across the border in France, a similar dish called socca is made with the same ingredients and cooked in an oven or in a skillet over flames. I’ve never tasted the French version but this is what the Ligurian one tastes like. I got the recipe from the back of a packet of chickpea flour i bought in Liguria and have tweaked it to taste more like the local vendors. Tags: chickpeas, gluten free, Italian, snack food, Vegan.

THE TURKISH CUISINE. Moldy, Dried and Spiced Cheese (Küflü Çökelek) Çökelek is a type of cheese made from yogurt in various parts of Turkey. This post will introduce the çökelek that is unique to the Hatay/Antakya (Antiochia) region in Southern Turkey on the Mediterranean. It is usually served at breakfast with a drizzle of olive oil or as a major ingredient in böreks (stuffed phyllo dough with meat or vegetables or cheese). Before the seasonings are added, it looks like cottage cheese.

I prefer to make yogurt (see my recipe) at home as I think there is a world of difference in taste when compared to mass produced commercial yogurt. I am a big fan of börek with çökelek. This time while making çökelek, I tried to follow the proper way and did drain the cheese for one day and waited a few days for it to dry even though traditionally, it should dry for months under the sun. 2 gallons milk or yogurt1/3 cup yogurt (not necessary if making with yogurt)2 tbsp red pepper paste2-3 tbsp thymeSalt (adjust to your taste)

Slutty Brownies - StumbleUpon. Now I don’t want to over sell this, so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… The Best Brownies In The WORLD. I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again). They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour.
