General kitchen advice

Try Eating Raw Food : Raw food can help you detoxify, cleanse and revitalize your mind, body and spirit. Raw and Living Foods contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.

Buy Fairtrade Food : The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

For a product to display the FAIRTRADE Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards. These standards are set by the international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products are inspected and certified by FLO. They receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.

Vickis Turkey Recipe

Ingredients And Procedures

Turkey Butter, melted Kahlua Apricot preserves Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rub cleaned turkey with unsalted shortening or butter. Cover the bird with a piece of cheesecloth soaked in melted, unsalted butter. Reduce the heat to 350 and place turkey in oven. Make glaze of equal parts Kahlua and apricot preserves. Sounds weird, but it is delicious. Baste turkey with glaze right over the top of the cheesecloth. (The taste actually permeates the meat.) Peel the cloth off before presentation (bird is a dark, rich brown) and serve w/ sauce. Vicki's notes: * The basic technique is from "Joy of Cooking," although Rombauer says to put it on a rack. The glaze is from the Kahlua company. * The only time I used pop-up indicators is when I was given turkeys that had them. I ignored the indicator --> used standard cooking chart for weight (should be on turkey). You know how the turkey keeps cooking even when it's not in the oven? Sure enough, after he had been out of oven long enough to serve, the indicator FINALLY popped up!
