Food and cooking tips

Try Organic Food : Organically-grown food costs more, but you get what you pay for. It is 2-10 times richer in minerals, contains no pesticides, and tastes better. It is better for you, your planet, and your palate. Wild unhybridized food is what your body was designed for, before our ancestors started messing with Mother Nature. Take it easy with highly hybridized fruits (bananas, seedless anything) and vegetables (carrots, beets, white potatoes).

Buy Local Food : With local food you'll get exceptional taste and freshness, strengthen your local economy, support endangered family farms, safeguard your family's health, and protect the environment.

Kitchen Tip : Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air or found by the pan handle! A 6-inch pan on an 8-inch burner will waste over 40 percent of the energy.

Cinnamon Torte Recipe

Ingredients And Procedures

4 oz Self-raising flour

1 ts Powdered cinnamon

4 oz Ground almonds

4 oz Caster sugar

4 oz Butter or margarine

1 Lemon; (grated rind only)

8 oz Raspberry jam

Icing sugar Sift the flour and cinnamon into a bowl or food processor, then put in the ground almonds, sugar, butter or margarine and grated lemon rind. Process, without the plunger (to let in more air and make the mixture light), or rub the fat into the other ingredients with your fingers. Either way, the result will be a soft dough. You can roll this out straight away, but it's easier to handle if you wrap it in polythene and chill it for 30 minutes. Set the oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas Mark 4. On a lightly floured board, roll out two-thirds of the almond mixture, to fit a 20 cm/8 inch flan tin. Put the pastry into the tin and trim the edges. Spread the jam over the pastry, then roll out the remaining pastry, including the trimmings, and cut long strips to make a lattice across the top of the jam. Bake the torte for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is set and lightly browned. Serve hot or cold, with a snowy topping of sifted icing sugar.
