Food and cooking tips

Oven Tips : Cook with the oven door closed. A partially open door wastes energy, costs you money, and warms you instead of the food.

Oven Tips : Fan-forced ovens cost 35% less to run than a conventional electric oven.

Dieting 101

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss program is based on the gi index, a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed that the energy of the food type gets changed to glucose in your blood stream. The theory is that slow acting food types (ie those with a low Gi score), keep you satiated for longer and help to consume fewer food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also especially beneficial for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in reducing surges in glucose levels.

Ingredients And Procedures

500 g Flour (4 1/2 cups less 1

-Tbsp) 5 Eggs

1 c Water

Salt Combine all ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth. One part at a time, force through a spaetzle shaver and let drop straight into boiling water. As soon as the spaetzle rise to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and rinse in warm water. In olden days, the spaetzle dough was forced through a three- legged sieve, by means of stirring. This resulted in the so- called 'Knoepfle' (little buttons). Another method - more common in the Wuertemberg area - is to put the dough on a wooden board and scraping off small slivers of dough, which then results in elongated spaetzle, similar to the ones produced by a spaetzle press. Serves 4. From: D'SCHWAEBISCH' KUCHE' by Aegidius Kolb and Leonhard Lidel, Allgaeuer Zeitungsverlag, Kempten. 1976. (Translation/Conversion: Karin Brewer) Posted by: Karin Brewer, Cooking Echo, 8/92
