How do they know just what to add to enhance their meal? I went straight to a local chef and asked him. He said, "You just know." Well, that wasn't much help for you or me. He also said, "A lot of it is taught in culinary school but the exact amount varies among chefs." Even better... now it's something I have to go to school to learn and I'll never do it like Emeril. Or so you think... You CAN learn what each of the spices do and I've even put together a compilation of some of the most common spices for you. Feel free to print it out and keep it with your cookbooks for quick reference while you are flavoring your own meals.

Probably the store's cashier did not pay attention to your huge food pile, but when you later returned home you discovered that at least one third of the things you bought were not needed. In fact, different researches have shown that when people visit their local supermarket after an exhausting day at work with their stomachs nearly empty, they tend to spend much more than their initial budget on foods that are considered neither necessary nor healthy. The only suggestion one could give to eager grocery shoppers is to plan ahead and eat something before visiting their nearest food resource.

Some more than others, but most everyone eats fast food at least once a month. If you don't eat fast food it has to be a full blown boycott on it, because the fast food companies make it so convenient to eat. It seems like everywhere we go fast food chains are offering fresh, hot, tasty food for the price of a few dollars, or less. It is not easy to stay slim eating fast food unless you have a movie star metabolism, however it is possible to limit the damage the food does to you by making smart selections when you choose to indulge your hunger with fast food.

It is hardy, smells wonderful, cleanses the air of viruses and repels insects. All these virtues and you can bake with it too! I was going through my recipe books yesterday, looking for something new to try in the biscuit baking line and saw a recipe for Lavender Heart Cookies. Every time I'd glanced through the book it had always intrigued me, but I'd never tried it before, as the idea of using lavender in baking seemed a little bizarre...interesting but probably getting results of 'yuk Mum, what are these bits?'
