Tips For Making Good Food On Any Budget


While it is true that we do not live to eat, but eat to live, we spend so much time at it that good eating and good living become almost synonymous. I have found that it is not necessary to be a person of means to prepare and serve food "fit for a king." Let me tell you some of the things I have myself learned about making the most of food.

Never shop for only one meal. If you do, you will lose the fun of glorifying leftovers; and furthermore, should a friend arrive unexpectedly around the dinner hour, you will be torn between finding a way to stretch your meal or, far worse, finding an excuse to exclude a guest.

If you have a deep freezer then all your problems are solved. Any dish that you cook can be frozen. The only thing I found that would not freeze without losing flavor is chopped liver. So, when you cook, cook in bulk; divide into one-meal portions, put them into freezing containers, list and freeze.

Think how easy life becomes when all you have to do is take enough cooked food from the freezer the night before and put it into the bottom of the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it the following day. One half hour before serving, put the meal in the oven to warm, set your table, prepare your salad, coffee, dessert, and you are ready to eat. If you are out, you don't have to rush home - the whole day is yours to do with as you will, and your meal does not suffer because of it. (Do remember, though, that food deteriorates fast after thawing - so use your food within the next few days.)

If you do not have a deep freezer, you can still prepare your food in advance. The only kind of food you cannot prepare beforehand is broiled food. The oven will warm any cooked food including fried chicken or fried veal cutlets. Your refrigerator will keep most cooked foods (with very few exceptions) for at least a week - so cook for three or more days at a time.

I use chicken fat for shortening because, as Mama used to say, it gives food "dem Yiddishin tom" - but you can, if you will, substitute any of your favorite shortenings.

My recipes for appetizers can be used for a main dish if you serve soup to begin with, and an ample side dish, and dessert to finish off the meal.

Mama used to say if there are eggs and fat in the refrigerator you can always stretch a meal to include one or more guests, by making eggs and onions and a kugel of some kind.

When cooking, leave lid off pot, so you can see when water reaches boiling point; then adjust heat to low or fast boil, as desired, and cover.

When reheating food in the oven, most foods should be covered, except food that needs crisping, such as fried chicken, veal cutlets, etc. Though these tips will not get you from point A to Z in your culinary experience, they're small details that will add to each dish.

Making Meals For Jewish Holidays


Food is an important part of the Jewish tradition so knowing what to serve on each holiday is important.

When orthodox Jews came together on Rosh Hashana, they greeted each other with the Hebrew phrase "L'Shonah Tovoh Ticosevu," meaning "May a good New Year be in store for you."

For us children this was a very happy Holiday. This was the time when, in addition to the regular Sabbath feast, there were plenty of sweets - honey, nuts, ginger, spice, etc., harbingers of a sweet and zestful year. We would watch big-eyed, while Mama dished out the round-cut carrots with the tzimmes, signifying a well-rounded year. This was the Holiday of desserts. Not so for the grownups. To them Rosh Hashana was the time to review their deeds during the past year, repent their sins, beg forgiveness for transgressions, and pray to God to inscribe a good New Year. To Mama it was a time to work even harder, to gather her flock together and feed them even better than before.

Everyone knows that the Jewish people have suffered persecution, poverty and hardship throughout their history. We have been told that for every ill there is a compensating good. I like to think that one of the benefits of belonging to our people is that we have so many Holidays when we may foregather, eat, drink and be merry. Indeed this was and is a measure of our reverence. So let us celebrate by turning to the section headed cakes and desserts - and Esst gezuudt! Please remember that kreplach are a must on this Holiday.

Another good Jewish holiday is Succoth. All over the world, in various cultures and throughout known history, the fall of the year is a special time for celebrating and giving thanks. To the Jews, the feast of the Harvest is known as Succoth. There is another and deeper significance to this holiday, for the succah (tabernacle) is symbolic of the shelter in Jewish wanderings, the haven of refuge for a persecuted people.

Orthodox Jews observe this holiday in the following way. A succah (a wooden structure covered with vine leaves and branches) is put up outside the house. Here food is served throughout the holiday week.

I remember how excited we children would be when the succah was put up in our back yard. Because of its limited capacity, the adults naturally had priority, and we children became unexpectedly angelic at the promise of being permitted into the succah if we behaved like grownups - "Vest zein a mensh, vest du essen in succah!"

For an entire week, food was carried from the kitchen, sometimes two or three flights down, with the children gaily bringing out the edibles and the elders happily gathered around the wooden table under the leafy boughs. This is a holiday when kreplach of all kinds are served.

And how can we talk about Kosher cooking without mentioning Hanukkah? Hanukkah is the most delightful of the holidays for children. It is the Feast of Lights, the commemoration of the time when Maccabeus and a small band of followers fought the Syrian-Greek tyrant Antiochus and rededicated the temple. The story is told that when the Maccabees found enough oil to burn for a single day, miraculously it lasted eight days.

This is the holiday when potato pancakes, potato kugel and blines are served; when we distribute Hanukkah gelt (money) to children. There is a dradle (top), which the young ones spin for forfeits of nuts.

The Use of Coloring in Icing


Although several coloring agents are available, paste colors have been found to be the most generally satisfactory. The range of colors available to the decorator, in addition to the primaries - red, blue and yellow - includes violet, green, brown and pink. The color wheel, of course, shows us that we can get along very well with only the 3 primaries.

In using paste colors, it is well to remember that a little goes a long way. A relatively small amount of the intense paste color will tint a large amount of white icing. The colored icing and not the paste colors are used in mixing other colors, since paste colors by themselves are too intense for accurate color blending. We do, however, use paste colors full strength when we add them to water to prepare a colored spray. The illustrations on the preceding page demonstrate step by step the approved method of color mixing and blending.

The color wheel tells us how to obtain any color from various combinations of the three primary colors. It remains now to modify the colors obtained (dark or light - warm or cold) to suit our requirements. For example: we mix a small amount of blue icing and a small amount of yellow icing and blend the two together to obtain a green icing. Chances are that the resulting color will be too deep (too green) for, let us say, spring foliage. We simply add more yellow to the mixture to get a "spring" green and then blend in enough white icing to obtain the light tint required.

After we have learned to produce any color we require, we can then consider some refinements in the use of color. For example: a cake decorated with bright colored flowers may appear too "contrast" because of the strength and variety of the colors used. The contrast can be reduced and the color scheme rendered more harmonious by adding very small amounts of the colors of each flower into the green of its leaves. This is called "graying" and is very effective especially when the color is left in streaks rather than thoroughly mixed into the green.

In general avoid deep colors except for small areas (accents) and perhaps in Christmas and Halloween cakes. Follow nature in choosing color schemes and allow your creative imagination to guide you.

Spatula Striping is the most usual color blending method. After placing a tube in the cone, use a small bow knife and put a one inch strip of colored icing down the entire side of the cone. After striping the cone, fill the remainder of the cone with white icing. As an example, let's say you want to make some pink and white roses. The pink will appear on the inside, of the rose and the white should be out at the tips. This simulates the way nature bleaches out the rose at the tips of the petals. In this case you would strip the large side of a No. 104 tube in pink icing with a strip approximately 1/2 inch thick and 1 inch wide and the remainder would be filled with white icing. Then as you make your rose, the petals will be pink except for the tips which are white.

This method of striping can and should be used on borders. In making a shell border with a large star tube, the cone should have a narrow strip of colored icing on one side. The rest of the cone is filled with white icing. This gives the border a beautiful two-tone effect.

Decorating A Cake With Scenery


One of the terrific ways to decorate a cake is with scenery. This can be achieved systematically as will be shown. The cake is first iced in a thin layer of buttercream and then poured with a lukewarm fondant. Before painting the scene, the cake should dry for one hour. Scenery painting in icings can be practiced on corrugated cardboard circles before attempting an actual cake scene.

A thinned down boiled icing and vegetable paste colors are used for this type of painted cake top. In painting a scene such as the boat, clouds and land in background, a picture may be obtained and copied in the following manner:

With a brush approximately 11/2 inches in diameter, a small amount of thinned down boiled icing is placed in the skyline area. Using the brush in a back and forth motion, the skyline is painted in.

With a tiny brush, place four or five small dots of blue paste color in the skyline area. Using a larger brush in a series of back and forth motions gives the skyline a blue variegated effect.

A large cone of white boiled icing with a 1/4 inch opening at the tip is used in a zig-zag motion at various intervals to obtain the cloud effect. Go over this cloud area with a clean brush to give it a smooth realistic look.

The water area is made by piping on a thinned down white boiled icing and then adding a few drops of blue and green paste color. Then, with the use of the large brush in a series of sweeping motions, create the greenish blue water effect. Use the deeper colors for the distant water. The ship may be put in with the fill-in method or it may be outlined and then painted on with the brush as illustrated.

Before putting in the clouds and after the blue is put on, a few dots of yellow, orange and a tint of violet may be brushed right above the horizon to give a sunset effect. After practicing a few simple scenes such as these, you will see that scenery painting is simple and fast once you have acquired the technique of using the brush properly.

For a Western scene, the sky can be painted in first as previously described. The mountains can then be piped on with a white and brown icing. Then, using a small brush, a few dots of deep colored icing can be put on the crevices and then smoothed nut with a larger brush. The cowboy and horse can be painted on with a very small brush in deeper colored boiled icing thinned down to the consistency of oil paints.

A Halloween scene can be painted in chocolate, orange and yellow. In a scene such as that, you must keep in mind the angle of the moon's shadows. This cake can be bordered with individual shells using the No. 30 star tube and was overpiped in a deep color with a No. 3 tube using a question mark design.

Trends in Los Angeles restaurants influence those throughout the United States, from online menus and the design of those menus, this region of America has some of the best culinary forces and technology to back up the fact that they are way head of most food towns.

Within the world of Los Angeles restaurants it is easy to imagine that Hollywood influence is ever present, seeing as it is in the same region of the United States.

As for dining styles, menus and online menus often reflect the seasons and if you think about it, dining in a restaurant during the seasons, summer is typically outdoors in the sun on a patio enjoying a salad. During the winter months dining by the fireplace in an exquisite experience in Los Angeles high end restaurants where stars often do just that. Some common seasonal menus might, for summer, consist of fruits like melons, oranges and bananas, and feature salads with fresh herbs that are light and refreshing with tart vinaigrettes and citrusy undertones. A green bean salad might be a summer dish served with orange slices and almond slivers and is quite popular in the Southern region of Italy where such flavor combinations originated.

Winter is another story and where summer salads are popular menu items, braised meats and roasted root vegetables such as roast beef served with turnips, or chicken, squab, duck and other such waterfowl.

How to Make Chocolate Candy - A Fascinating Segment of Cooking

Don't be concerned; the process for creating the majority of candies is easier than you think, and with a some practice, and taste testing, you can come up with chocolate dessert recipes that's all your own.

Beginning With The Basics

Prior to starting to make chocolate candy, you might wish to begin baking more conventional chocolate desserts, such as chocolate cake or brownies. Chocolate candies such as fudge or toffee are the same as brownies, and you can even integrate these candies into your baked goods for a richer flavor. You can learn a lot of basic recipes for brownies and cakes on various internet sites, and once you get the used to these, you might feel more comfortable moving on to candy making.

You can also make the candies that you see in bakeries and speciality shops; all you will need is the right ingredients as well as a candy mold. With the mold, you can make candies that are in any shape you wish, and you can decorate or garnish the candies to taste.

In the majority of cases, you will have to melt down a certain amount of the chocolate of your choice, and you can add specific flavor extracts depending on the flavor you want the candy to be. You pour the chocolate mixture into the molds, and allow the candy to set. In most instances, the candy will set better, and faster, if you put it in the refrigerator.

You can also make chocolate truffles, which can at times be intimidating for those who do not spend much time in the kitchen. Nevertheless, you can learn how to make chocolate candy by just combining melted chocolate and whipping cream, until it is at its desired consistency. Then, you can use an ice cream scoop to break up the portions of truffles, and put these in the refrigerator to set as well.

You can roll the truffles in nutmeg or cinnamon, coconut and crushed nuts, or even cayenne pepper after you remove them from the fridge. These candies make an excellent dessert at parties, or a great gift when you use decorated paper or bags for presentation.

If you still want to know how to make chocolate candy and are not sure you will be able to get it precisely right the first time, you can visit various internet sites like so that you can analyze the recipes as many times as is needed to, and view pictures of the finished product.

How To Fillet Salmon


I learned to fillet fish, including salmon, in a very busy restaurant in Cherbourg, Normandy, where the required rate was something like one whole fish every 10 seconds, including gutting and cleaning.

We used razor sharp filleting knives that were kept so with a few wipes on a steel from time to time and the fillets on thicker fish such as cod and salmon were removed with just four strokes. You may well take a little longer to start with, but once you've got the hang of it you will find it every easy to do.

The method for salmon was (and still is in my home); hold the whole fish by the head with its back towards you. Insert the knife into the back at the head end until the tip reaches the backbone and twist the handle slightly so that the blade is lying against the bones at a cutting angle of about 10 degrees. Then run it quickly down to the tail, keeping the blade in contact with backbone and dorsal bones. You will both feel the knife blade bounce over these and hear it rasp against them.

Flip the fillet away from you exposing the backbone and hold it clear in your free hand as you cut down and away from you, again keeping the knife blade close to the rib bones. Repeat on the other side.

Remove the skin by dipping your lazy hand in salt and use that to grip the thin end of the fillet, skin side down. Cut down and away close to your hand. The fillet will lift away from the skin quite easily and give you a bit more purchase. Hold the knife blade at an angle of around 10/15 degrees so the blade remains in contact with the skin and run it swiftly to the thick end, while firmly pulling the skin in the opposite direction.

To remove the pin bones, lie the fillet skin side down and run the tips of your fingers from the tail to the head end. You will easily feel them poking up through the flesh. I find the easiest way to remove them is to use a pair of eyebrow tweezers.

The carcass and skin, including the head, can be used for stock, but use kitchen scissors to remove the pink gills before doing so. They can impart a bitter taste to any liquid when heated.

MREs for Hurricane Preparation


Its almost hurricane season again! And time to get our supplies ready in case we get hit again this year.

I have personally been through four hurricanes, three of which hit during a two-month period during 2004. I have stayed in my home for all four hurricanes and have learned a thing or two about the best supplies to have on hand.

Bar none, the best food supplies to have on hand are MREs. MRE stands for Meal Ready to Eat. They are United States military rations that have become available on the civilian market.

MREs are an all in one meal kit. Packaged in a waterproof bag, they contain items such as an entree, side dish, snack item, beverage base, and dessert.

They contain a food heater that is activated by a very small amount of water, and even have an accessory pack with condiments and utensils. Heck, they even have toilet paper in them!

MREs have a shelf life of up to 10 years when stored properly. They are a great item to have on hand for any sort of emergency.

They certainly came in handy for us when we had them in 2004. The first hurricane, Hurricane Charley, caused our electricity to go out for 5 days. We did not suffer any structural damage, luckily, but we lost all the contents of our fridge and freezer.

We had actually forgotten all about our MREs at the time. We did not properly prepare for Hurricane Charley. We had that "it won't happen to us" mentality.

After the hurricane, we spent two days eating cold spaghetti-o's before we remembered the box of MREs we had purchased for camping. Out they came!

The whole family ate much better those last three days without electricity than the first two! Between the hurricanes, we did have the sense to restock our Meals Ready to Eat and have always made it a point to keep them on hand since then.

The second hurricane that hit us that year did some structural damage, but we retained power. The third hurricane left us without power again, this time for over a week.

With two small children at home, I can tell you that hurricane season that year was not fun. In Central Florida, you need air conditioning to survive. Going a few weeks without air conditioning was trying to say the least.

Couple that with being holed up in a dark apartment with no TV, little light, and nothing to do. The only thing to break the monotony of those days was the fun we had when we ate our MRE meals.

The kids (and adults) had a blast opening up each bag, cooking the entrees over the flameless heater, and devouring the interesting snacks provided. It was the only source of amusement during this trying time.

In short, every hurricane preparedness pantry needs to have a case of Meals Ready to Eat available, not just for food, but to break up the boredom.

Rayven Perkins is a stay home mom who has put together a resource on MREs, including where to find the best prices for purchasing them. Visit her website at:

Drinking Water Supplies Is The Way To Go


If you use well water or your source liquid has a horrible taste, then you may need to think about purchasing drinking water supplies to help make your liquid taste better and safer for consumption. You don't want to give the bottled water industry all of your hard earned money, just to buy a two dollar bottle of Fuji fluid because it's marketed as the world's best. Your tap fluid may be the source you need to turn to for your needs. Think about that before you start whipping out your credit card.

Water purifiers are probably the number one drinking liquid system currently on the market. The purifier takes out any impurities found in the fluid supply. Well water definitely tastes different than city tap or bottled liquid. This could be due to lime deposits found in the underground fluid supply that is tapped into by your fluid system.

It can leave a build up of lime in your bathtub, sinks and even your hot liquid heater, which can cause the element to burn out or cause the entire heater to become useless. Lime build up is hard to remove so most people opt for a purification system to help remove it from the fluid. Water softeners can be expensive though.

You might want to consider drinking water supplies from a bottled fluid manufacturer as a way to do away with your well water or public fluid system for your drinking needs. Most big jugs are pretty inexpensive and the supplier will rent out the equipment to go along with the liquid. It is fresh, clear and cold fluid at the flick of a switch. You can also purchase refrigerators that come with built in purifiers.

Before you make a big purchase of drinking water supplies you should shop around town. There are many retail stores that sell liquid supply systems and purification systems for your home or office. Most are quite reasonable and you can even find companies that will deliver the liquid to your home or business.

They even come in and change the empty jugs out so you do not have to fear spilling a huge jug of fluid all over the place. The downside to home delivery businesses is that you may have to sign a contract. However, if you really want clean, cold liquid, then it may be worth the money to sign up for a delivery service.

Fruity Berry Vary in Healthy Ways to Improve Collaboration


Normal fruits such as strawberries, bananas, and peaches are no longer the only add-ins used in these power beverages. More and more health aficionados are turning to exotic or at least different fruits to make their smoothie concoctions. A hybrid of Juice blends mixed with vitamins is in major competition.

A favorite choice of fruits often used is the Mangosteen. This queen of fruits is not available for sale in the United States. This is because of the increased problems associated with the Mediterranean fruit fly infestation upon its importing. Regardless, consumers are able to get the byproduct of this fruit in juice or capsule form. Mangosteen is a tropical fruit from Indonesia. It's about the size of a small apple and contains a sweet white interior that breaks off in wedges similar to a mandarin.

Food Scientists believe it has energy, anti-swelling, anti-depressant, and cancer-fighting uses. Mangosteen investigations moving forward and there is recommendation that this tropical wonder contains many ingredients that improve wellness to say the least.

One research study shows positive fight against leukemia:

"We examined the effects of six xanthones from the pericarps of mangosteen, Garcinia mangostana, on the cell growth inhibition of human leukemia cell line HL60. All xanthones displayed growth inhibitory effects. Among them, alpha-mangosteen showed complete inhibition at 10 microM through the induction of apoptosis."(Matsumoto K, Akao Y, Kobayashi E, Ohguchi K, Ito T, Tanaka T, Iinuma M, Nozawa Y: Gifu International Institute of Biotechnology, 1-1 Naka-Fudogaoka, Kakamigahara, August 2003)

Found in India and the Pacific Islands, the fruit of the Noni tree has powerful antioxidant properties, mood-enhancing uses, and immune system enhancing properties. Another exotic fruit applied used in smoothies is the Noni. This fruit has shown promise as a free-radicals eliminator as well. This 12-times harvest comes from Southeast Asia as well. This fruit has shown promise as a free-radicals eliminator as well.

In the NCCAM Publication D298 of 2007, scientists have published a clinical study wherein Noni (Morinda Citrufolia) has demonstrated high antioxidant levels, as a result immune system enhancement, and evidence that it may battle cancerous sells. Tumors in rats have dramatically decreased in size when exposed to Noni.

The fruity surprise from western tropical areas, the Acai berry, arriving from Central and South American tropical regions is another antioxidant mix of vitamin. This berry is grape-sized and a dark reddish-blue color. The Acai Berry has high fiber content and is believed to have the capability to free the body of toxins. Investigations into this berry's content show it is also applicable for enhancing the circulatory system, promoting physical wellbeing and minimizing inflammations.

The above three fruits are possible add-ins one can use to come up with their own individually preferred recipe. These are fruits that one can use in combination with blueberries. Rich with Vitamin C and E, Blueberries are another good choice to mix in. They also contain anthocyanins and phenolics, which contain inhibiting cancer-cell properties. Blueberries help in the fight against the damaging effects of chronic diseases that come from the aging process.

Many distributors sell juice versions of these fruits ready for mixing into a smoothie vita mix. An enhanced mix of vitamins created with exotic nutrients, can enhance a diet lifestyle with health and wellness.

People that feel better about themselves are able to develop more positive thinking and action. Ultimately consequence they improve their ability to adapt and gain greater social skills. When a person feels energized, they feel they can take on the world. This leads to a better mental attitude, which can halt depression in its tracks. The dynamic body-lift arising from vita mixes enriched with antioxidant powers are motivation enough to try them out. Exotic energizing fruits aid greatly in giving people a sense of vitality that enable them to be more productive throughout their life.

Ultimately, foods with Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) rating are best to add-in with your smoothies. ORAC will help you build up your immune system and through antioxidants in these foods, berries, vegetables, or fruits; it will help you feel well. These mixes of ORAC-rich ingredients are also pretty tasty.

T. Fox researches workplace-environmental productivity and efficiency. Some of the contributors are healthy ingredients with increased nutrient levels. People perform better when they are healthy, especially when they can manage depression with food and lifestyle choices.
