Spice Advice Adding Spices and Herbs to Food How to Add: Spices and herbs should be used to enhance the natural flavor of food--not disguise or obscure it. Many herbs and spices can complement a dish and each other; however, be selective in their combinations. When to Add: Herbs may be added near the end of cooking for more distinct flavor, or at the beginning for more blended flavors. How Much to Add: There is no general rule for the correct amount of spices and herbs to use--the pungency of each spice and herb differs and its effect on different foods varies.

Berlin Food Stories | Best Restaurants in Berlin Other Published on August 30th, 2013 | by Peurling Totally defying the general lack of genuine Thai restaurants in Berlin, the Thai Food Market in Wilmersdorf offers a complete journey through the wonderful world of Thai food. The Thai Market in Berlin is by no means anything new. Preußenpark is located just south off the S-Bahn station Charlottenburg and right next to the U7 station Konstanzer str. in an area which is not very frequently visited by most Berliners as there really is not much else to do here (apologies to all the locals). Now, when it comes to the food, your biggest problem will be to choose what you want to eat. But one thing at a time, what I enjoy most when I visit the Thai Park are first of all the magnificent noodle soups, there are 2-3 vendors selling different versions and they are all special in their way, powerful and spicy, with deep flavours and so many ingredients that you stop counting them while the soup is being prepared for you.

Norwegian Scientists Warn Against Eating Farmed Salmon: Everything You Need to Know About Farmed Fish - Complete Health and Happiness Women, children and adolescents should avoid eating farmed salmon, according to Norwegian doctors and international experts. The reason is that salmon feed contains harmful pollutants. Talking to VG, specialist Anne-Lise Birch Monsen and Physician and professor of medicine, Bjørn Bolann say that it is uncertain in both the amount of toxins and how they affect children, adolescents and pregnant. They point out that the type of contaminants that have been detected in farmed salmon have a negative effect on brain development and is associated with autism, AD / HD and reduced IQ. A large European study involving about 8,000 newborns, shows that pregnant women with high levels of toxins in the body have children with lower birth weight, which may have an adverse effect on child health. Conservative party (Høyre) economic policy spokesman Svein Flåtten asks fisheries minister to respond in the Parliament on whether Norwegian farmed salmon is dangerous to eat for children and pregnant women. 1.
Fresh Springtime Pasta with Farmer’s Market Asparagus and Fava Beans April 30, 2012 | By Adam Roberts | 13 Comments After hauling home fresh asparagus and fava beans from the farmer’s market, I stood on a chair and made a loud declaration: “I will not adulterate these beacons of springtime with a convoluted recipe that obfuscates their natural glory!” Getting down from the chair, I thought about my declaration and realized that to live up to my word, I would need to cook the asparagus and fava beans as simply as possible, and serve them up with something special-enough to be memorable but not so special as to shadow the star ingredients: which is how I came up with making fresh pasta. I’ve already annoyed you with the fact that my favorite fresh pasta recipe comes from my own cookbook, but that book will appear on shelves September 4th. Meanwhile, you’re going to have to shell some favas. As many of you know, favas are labor intensive. Let’s look closer: So yes, those are the favas. Here, then, are my only other ingredients (remember my vow!)
ABOUT I am a rebel. I like to eat red meat. I think butter is good for me. I’m a wife, a homeschooling mother, an author and nutrition educator, and a passionate advocate for what I call “real food” — as opposed to the edible food-like substances which dominate America’s food industry today. Influenced by the research of Sally Fallon and Mary Enig, the work of Weston A. I want to save lives. Your life. My life. My family’s life. I want us to shout a collective and resounding “NO!” Yes, I said ignorant. Have you ever heard of the research documenting how traditional people groups who transitioned to a Western diet (and subsequently got heart disease or diabetes) then returned to their traditional diets only to experience a rapid recovery? Traditional diets have withstood the test of time, yet that knowledge is swiftly becoming scarce. This is my meager attempt to rectify the situation. To that end, I created this site. And, as always, you’re welcome to join me anytime at the Food Renegade Blog.
