2010-03-06T22:45:00.000-08:00

Osso Buco, an authentic Italian dish featuring braised veal shanks accompanied by risotto, is such an Italian staple that it often becomes overlocked on menus. The plate practically spills over with creamy, saffron-enhanced risotto. On top sits a slow-cooked veal shank with meat so tender and velvety it slides off the bone with the simplest fork touch. Rosemary sprigs poke out from the top of the shank and introduce an aromatic herbal quality. Next to the rosemary stands a tiny fork meant to scoop out the bone's succulent marrow. A dark red veal - demi-glace laden with carrots, onion and red wine dresses the veal and sinks into the rich risotto, adding another flavor dimension and a stew-like consistency. With its soothing aroma and rustic flavors. This can't-miss dish will surely deliver warmth, and comfort during the cold winter months.

Food Poisoning

2010-02-06T00:45:00.001-08:00

Children are most likely to wind up in the emergency room as a result of an injury during the summer - in fact, doctors often call it "the trauma season." One way to protect your kids is to avoid various hazards.

Bacteria grow quickly in perishable food that's left out at picnics and barbecues. Symptoms resemble stomach flu: nausea, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea and in severe cases, fewer and body stool.

Make sure food is cooked thoroughly. Wash your hands often and prevent cross-contamination by using separate plates for raw and cooked foods. Never leave food out for more than an hour when it's hot outside; store it in a well-insulated cooler packed with plenty of ice.

What carrots do to your health?

2010-01-26T01:07:00.000-08:00

Perhaps, it's no coincidence that carrots universally beloved root veggie is also one of the most nutritious.

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a cancer-preventive antioxidant that gives them their bright yellow-orange hue. Beta-carotene and other carotenenoids may also protect against hyperglycemia and diabetes. As if that's not enough, researchers now breed carrots with different colors, and the most promising include a red carrot high in lycopene (an antioxidant that helps protect against prostate cancer) and a purple variety that contains anthocyanins (the same cancer-preventive and anti-aging antioxidants found in blueberries). Furthermore, frozen carrots have the same beta-carotene content as fresh.

Curried Squash and Veggie Casserole

2010-01-24T01:50:00.000-08:00

What I did is I go search through cooking - recipes books and positively, I get the right preparation, an easy way to love squash. It's Curried Squash and Veggie Casserole.

In a bowl, combine strands of one cooked spaghetti squash with 2 cups chopped broccoli florets, steamed, and 1 cup diced red bell pepper. Mix in 1 cup low-fat sour cream, 1/4 cup skim milk, 1 tablespoon curry powder and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, stirring well to coat. Pour into a 9-day by 13 -inch casserole dish, and top with seasoned whole-wheat bread crumbs or prepared whole-grain stuffing (approximately 2 cups). Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

Spicy Buffalo Wing Lovers Unite

2009-12-24T22:27:00.000-08:00

Just a single whiff of saucy hot wings and our stomachs launch into a full-blown volcanic rumble. But whoa, watch out! With 1,000 calories and 66 grams of fat in the average serving, these wings can still fly-straight to our thighs. It's a good thing there's a way to get that palate-tickling blend of spicy, crispy zing without having to get the waistbands of our pants professionally altered. We call these nibbles first Buffalo Blings but you'll call them downright delicious. To make: Nuke a bag of 100-calorie microwavable popcorn, then sprinkle in a few drops of Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce. Clamp the bag shut, shake, shake, shake and dump it all into a bowl - preferably one that nestles right into your lap. Ahh...yum without adding inches to the tum.

Mix in rice to REV Metabolism

2009-12-23T23:16:00.000-08:00

Lean beef burgers can cook up a bit dry and tough because they have so little fat. To keep the meant nice and tender, I toss in some leftover cooked brown rice before grilling. The grains absorb the meat's juices before they can burn off. Slide this burger into a toasted whole-wheat bun and you've got a perfect meal.

All you need to do is to heat grill. In large bowl, combine 1 1b. lean ground beef and 1 cup cooked brown rice. Form into 5 patties, Grill 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until thermometer inserted in center of burgers read 140 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare. Divide patties among 5 whole-wheat hamburger buns. Top with lettuce, sliced tomatoes and sliced red onions, if desired.

The trace mineral selenium in brown rice helps the body convert the thyroid hormone thyroxine into triiodothyronine, a form that is four times more effective at regulating metabolisn and energy. German scientists found that this can speed fat burn by up to 60 percent.

5 smart tips for holiday wine buying

2009-12-19T23:54:00.000-08:00

Savoring a great bottle of wine is indeed a celebration. But considering there 5 smart tips on wine buying is a wise decision.

I have read an article from Food and Wine Magazine (November 2008) on page 164 by Ray Isle that talks about the smartest tips for holiday wine buying. Here are those:

1. Buy by the case

Finding good wine and then socking away a case of it (typically 12 bottles) saves money, as many wine shops offer case discounts of around 10 to 15 percent. It also saves trips to the store.

2. Look for screw-caps

More and more excellent wines are being sealed with screw caps to prevent corkiness (a problem with natural corks that produces a wet cardboard - like smell in a small percentage of wines). Screw-capped wines are especially handy for large parties, because they're easy to open quickly.

3. Select food-friendly wines

Big holiday meals tend to involve multiple side dishes, which puts a lot of completing flavors on the table. Well-balanced wines that aren't too extreme (not wildly sweet, not wildly tannic, etc.) are the most versatile when it comes to pairing. Good choices include Pinot Noir, American Rhone-Style blends, Austrian Gruner Veltimer and dry Rieslings from Germany.

4. Pick affordable sparkling wines

Celebratory alternatives to pricey Champagne include cava from Spain and Prosecco from Italy, among others.

5. Use Terrific $12-and-under wines for punch

Seek out inexpensive wines that would be equally delicious in a bowl of punch or on their own. There are wonderful $12-and-under bottles available these days, particularly from Spain and South America.

Tanya Cauthen's Merguez-Spiced Lamb Shanks with Chickpeas

2009-11-25T01:05:00.000-08:00

How dedicated Tanya Cauthen in her field of cooking which made her open her shop in 2006, The Belmont Butchery in Richmond, Virginia. In fact, she likes flavoring supremely tender braised land with a North African spice blend that includes cumin and fennel seeds. Lamb shanks are great for serving at dinner parties, since they look so dramatic, but lamb stew meat-cut from the shoulder of the leg - is equally delicious. Of for a less gamey flavor, substitute beef short ribs.

Say it with a cake.

2009-11-19T20:36:00.000-08:00

Words are best said with a smile. From light banters to text messaging, from small notes to online chatting, simple conversations are more earnest with a big smile - or a smiley for the techie bunch. But for some priceless moments, when words and smileys are not enough, people can always look for something sweeter - literally.

Recently, Makati Shangri-la Hotel launched the Emoti-cake, a delightful selection of adorable statement cakes that are sure to attract hopeless romantics and sweet tooth alike. The cakes come in two flavors, chocolate and cheese but with the quirky faces and messages printed over it, the fondant covered cakes are simply too cute to eat.

"We came up with the Emoti-cakes for people to give to their families and loved ones because sometimes it gets hard to express their feelings the way they want it to be," said Guillaume Bonnety, Makati Shangri-la's new executive pastry chef.

Designed with seven different faces and seven different expressions, clients choose from over 49 different cakes in petite (5.5 inches in diameter) and regular (7.5 inches in diameter) sizes.

"We use stencils to print the different faces and the text on the cakes so the designs will be consistent. Everything is edible. The chocolate cake is made of a gooey chocolate ganache which makes it very moist. While the lemon cheese cake is a light and creamy alternative with an interesting texture," Bonnety explained.

According to Bonnety, if the demands calls for it, they can customize Emoticakes for the coming Christmas. But as of now, let the emotive and expressive cakes inspire a thousand words ans "awws" from your family and loved ones with the sugary treat that fits any occasion.
