Food and cooking tips

Try Eating Raw Food : Raw food can help you detoxify, cleanse and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. Raw and Living Foods contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.


Most food, from fruit to fish, has a season -a time when it is abundant and at its best. Knowledge about food's seasons was once essential to survival and became culturally ingrained over the centuries. Today, we have all but lost this accumulated wisdom. Does this matter, in an age where technology can bring us anything we want to eat, whenever we want it?


Oven Tips : Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25° and foods will cook just as quickly.


Cook safely

Always clean the grill pan after using it.
If you're called away from the cooker - by the phone, say, or by someone at the door - take pans off the heat. It's the easiest thing in the world to forget about them.

3 ts Cinnamon

1/2 ts Ground cloves

-----------------------------------SYRUP----------------------------------- 4 c Granulated sugar

2 c Water

1/2 Lemon (juice only)

1 Small jar honey

Take 4 sheets of phyllo pastry, keeping remaining sheets covered with a damp towel. Brush each sheet with melted butter and lay one on top of the other. Mix walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Sprinkle some of the mixture evenly over the top buttered sheet and set the pieces upright in a large buttered pan. Continue, using another 4 buttered sheets of phyllo, sprinkling with nut mixture, rolling and cutting, until the pan or pans are full and all the nut mixture is used. Spoon about 1 teaspoon melted butter over each piece, and continue baking for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and dip each piece into cold thick syrup. Drain on cake racks. Syrup: In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, lemon juice and small jar of honey. Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes, removing scum as it rises to the surface.
