Sriracha as we know it today has been popularized by Huy Fong Foods and their big red "rooster" bottle (complete with a giant rooster logo and bright green cap, making it easy to identify in your fridge). But the sauce has a rich history and is named after a coastal city in central Thailand's Chonburi Province "Si Racha". This sauce has a great, addicting flavor -- hot, sweet and garlicky -- and just like the real "Rooster Sauce", it tastes awesome on just about anything. (recipe adapted from The Sriracha Cookbook by Randy Clemens) Ingredients: **Gloves** 1 3/4 pounds Fresno Chili Peppers, Red Jalapenos or Red Serrano ( I used Fresno) 3 Thai Chili Peppers 2 tbsp Garlic Powder + additional as needed 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar + more as needed 1 tbsp light brown sugar 1 tbsp kosher salt 3 cloves garlic 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar + more as needed Water as needed Kitchen Equipment: 2lb Glass jar 1 bottle Funnel

French Garlic Soup Home >> Recipes Simple and healthy garlic soup from the Provence. I found this healthy French garlic soup in the Larousse de la cuisine des familles, presented as a family recipe from a Provence mama. Wicked way of roasting whole garlic heads. Start with 4 garlic heads - 1 per guest as a light main course. Cut each head in half but don't peel. Pour a large glass olive oil inside an ovenproof dish and place each half garlic head flat in the oil. Roast the oven for about an hour or until the garlic is soft throughout and nicely browned. ... and free the remaining half-cloves. The bottom halved will require some help with a pointed half to free the half garlic cloves. Place all the garlic cloves in large pot.

Krill Oil | Ultimate Source of Omega-3 - Mercola.com In Japan, this is real food. Actually, let's take that a giant step further. It's considered a luscious delicacy known as okiami. Okiami has been harvested by the Japanese as a food source since the 19th century – and possibly even earlier. It is processed by freezing, to go to Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese markets. The only edible part is its tail – known for its rich omega-3 fatty acids. It is used for soups, seafood salads, and restaurant entrees – and also as a seasoning (when used dried). In Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Germany and South Korea there's been high interest in krill as a coagulated paste and as mince (a precooked dense pink paste). But specialists from many countries declare that the real delicacy is the intact shell-free tail meat – which as you might guess, is also the most difficult to obtain. I consider it so amazing that I simply refuse to go without it. Two Simple Ways to Improve Your Health* Increasing your intake of antioxidants ... But there are drawbacks. Why?

(Sydney) I had always wondered, since most people's health problems are partly owing to being too acidic, if it would be a good idea to take baking soda, since it is so alkaline. “There is not a tumor on God’s green earth that cannot be licked with a little baking soda and maple syrup.” Dr. Since then, reported by a newspaper in Ashville, North Carolina, Dr. It is important not to use baking soda which has had aluminum added to it. Some people believe that this works because the cancer cells love sugar and gobble up the maple syrup, and in the process give a free ride for the baking soda right into the cancer cell. My husband and I take a teaspoon of this daily, every now and again. The nice thing about this remedy, is that you can do it at the same time as anything else you are doing. More information here.

Pierogi Recipe | Cooking Momofuku at home October 2, 2010 My mom is obsessed with keeping a stocked freezer, but I guess I don’t really take after her, because my freezer tends to be relatively empty, aside from random containers of stock/ramen broth, frozen dumplings and pierogi. I admit, I store buy frozen chinese dumplings and pierogi for those times that I just don’t feel like cooking. I tell myself it’s because of ease and convenience, but really, I just love the taste of frozen pockets filled with deliciousness. Pierogi are fast, tasty, and ideal for when I let myself get too hungry and become a crazy unthinking monster. (This happens more often than you would believe). It’s Oktoberfest right now and that means two things: beer and sausages. I found an old Gourmet magazine pierogi recipe on epicurious.com and for my first pierogi making experience, it was great.

12.02.2008 - Broccoli compound targets key enzyme in late-stage cancer By Robert Sanders, Media Relations | 02 December 2008 BERKELEY — An anti-cancer compound found in broccoli and cabbage works by lowering the activity of an enzyme associated with rapidly advancing breast cancer, according to a University of California, Berkeley, study appearing this week in the online early edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Indole-3-carbinol, or I3C, is a chemical compound found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables and which is known to stop the growth of breast cancer cells. UC Berkeley researchers' discovery of how I3C works will help them modify the compound to improve its anti-cancer effects. The compound, indole-3-carbinol, is already undergoing clinical trials in humans because it was found to stop the growth of breast and prostate cancer cells in mice. Gary Firestone and Leonard Bjeldanes recommend a serving or more of cruciferous vegetables every day to take advantage of their natural anti-cancer benefits.

Vitamin K2 | Natto, Natural Menaquinone Source It’s been over 10 years, since I began educating and helping people understand the importance of vitamin D... specifically, vitamin D3. Of course, I wasn’t alone in this effort. Many others contributed to helping overcome some of the myths about sunlight and how critical vitamin D3 is to your overall health. And now I believe another nutrient, appropriately labeled the ’forgotten vitamin,’ is about to explode in popularity as researchers are uncovering more of its spectacular health benefits every day. Why has it been forgotten and somewhat ignored for over 80 years? I’m not sure anyone can really answer why this vitamin’s health-enhancing benefits have been so overlooked. For example, this vitamin... Helps you build strong bones and keep them healthy* Helps support your vascular (arteries and veins) system* Promotes your healthy heart* Helps you fight against premature aging* Enhances your memory function* And this is just a start... And that’s exactly what I’m planning to do. Why?
