All About Vegetarians Posted: 03 Jul 2012 10:05 AM PDT Are you a vegetarian? Vegetarians choose to be one due to specific reasons such as religious beliefs, insufficiency of meat supply, ethical beliefs, environmental and other reasons but majority shift to vegetarian diet to take advantage of the low-fat, cholesterol-free, high fiber and nutrient rich advantage of plants. Buying Organic for Ingredients Many vegetarians prefer organic ingredients, however, most produce available in the local market are grown with chemicals, thus, careful buying and proper cleaning of produce are fundamental. So, buying those chemical-free produce offer a safer, better quality, better tasting ingredients than those that are commercially produced. Planning Menus the Vegetarian Way Creating menus is challenging but gradually you'll find the process simple and fulfilling. Begin planning by considering the season, climate, your family's preference and of course the nutritional needs. Countless combinations can be devised such as fresh green salad combined with vegetable stew or dishes made from grains, beans, tofu and other kind of vegetables can be served and don't forget to add fresh fruits or desserts to compliment the meal.

Seafood Selection Tips Posted: 12 Aug 2009 08:32 AM PDT Seafood is any sea animals or plants that is served as food, or is suitable for consumption by humans, such as fish and shellfish (including mollusks and crustaceans). The harvesting of seafood is known as fishing and the cultivation of seafood is known as aquaculture or in the case of fish, fish farming. Seafood is an important source of protein in many diets around the world, especially in coastal areas. In choosing fresh fish, select only those that are thick and firm, with bright scales and stiff fins; the gills a very lively red, and the eyes full and prominent. In the summer, as soon as they are brought home, clean them, and put them in ice till you are ready to cook them; and even then do not attempt to keep a fresh fish till next day. Mackerel cannot be cooked too soon, as they spoil more readily than any other fish. Oysters in the shell may be kept from a week to a fortnight, by the following process. Cover them with water, and wash them clean with a birch broom. Then lay them with the deep or concave part of the shell undermost, and sprinkle each of them well with salt and Indian meal. Fill up the tub with cold water. Repeat this everyday; first pouring off the liquid of the day before. The tub must stand all the time in a cool cellar, and be covered well with an old blanket, carpeting, or something of the sort. If carefully attended to, oysters kept in this manner will not only live but fatten. It is customary to eat fish only at the commencement of the dinner. Fish and soup are generally served up alone, before any of the other dishes appear, and with no vegetable but potatoes; it being considered a solecism in good taste to accompany them with any of the other productions of the garden except a little horseradish & parsley as garnishing. In England, and at the most fashionable tables in America, bread only is eaten with fish. To this rule salt cod is an exception. No related posts.
