When you're trying to live a healthier lifestyle, choosing party snacks can be a real problem. The classic ones just aren't that healthy and you don't want to bore everyone else by putting out nothing but fruits and vegetables. Now, there's nothing wrong with having a solid fruit or veggie tray out at a party; in fact, I recommend it highly. A little dip will make people more enthusiastic about the vegetables. Get a little creative with the kinds of fruits and vegetabl... more...

Over the years I've tried loads of banana cake recipes that were supposed to be tried and foolproof. I was told they would be light, fluffy and moist. Well, I can tell you that each time I tried a new recipe with enthusiasm I was always disappointed. I followed the instructions to the letter, kept checking the cake in the oven when it was supposed to be cooked. But no matter what I tried they turned out either too dry, too stodgy or down right flat. There is nothing more disappointin... more...

The two basics of authentic barbecue are a low cooking temperature and plenty of wood smoke. You need enough heat to cook the meat (which is the difference between smoke curing and barbecuing) but you need to keep the temperature a bit above the level that meat will register inside when done. So, let's take pork for example; it needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit, so you must barbecue it at 180 degrees to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Thi... more...

Clipstone is a small village in North Nottinghamshire. Many of the villagers experiment with recipes gathered from around the world. This is my recipe that was published in the village newsletter. Recipe for T Bone Steak Japanese Style Ingredients: T Bone or Porterhouse Steak per person. (The Porterhouse contains a larger portion of the tenderloin than does the T-bone and thus is even more mouth-wateringly tender.) Teriyaki Sauce (most Supermarkets sell this) F... more...

"My temples thud, my pulses boil, I'm sick of song, and ode, and ballad Pour it on a lobster curry every time With a splatter of coriander once & for all..." Food for me is something which is always on the first priority. I am not at all choosy about food. Whenever the word food comes I become sensible about the taste and the subsequent recipes. Sometimes it might all so happen that, just by reading the name I fall fully attentive to that treat; sometime... more...

Rattlesnake meat is a southwestern delicacy. If you haven't ever eaten rattlesnake, you are in for a real treat. No, it doesn't taste like chicken! It has a much gamier flavor, much more reminiscent of pheasant, frog legs, alligator, or even elk. There are two ways to cook rattlesnake meat: De-boned, or with the bones still intact. If you cook it with the bones intact you will have to deal with them while eating it. This is no big deal really, and in fact many "just the snak... more...

Every time I head to a steak house for a taste of some delicious steaks, I end up miserably, because I can not order it in the proper way. The first day I ordered steak that should be well done and what I got in my plate proved too chewey for the capacity of my teeth and it also seemed to me too dry. The next time I was in a rather chic restaurant and ordered a plate of beef steak without specifying anything. Then I did not know that if not specified, these beef houses cook the beef to a medium ... more...

Prior to 20th century lobsters were mostly the foods of the poor people in the Maritime regions. As the transportations revolutionized during this period, the people in the mainland gradually came to know about the ravishing taste of the fre... more...

So if you are bored enough already with the boring foods that you get to eat everyday but do not have time to go on a lengthy and expensive Caribbean vacation then ... more...
