This means an active, healthy and strong Muslim always performs better than a sedentary or less active one. Therefore, let us seize the opportunity during this Holy Month of Ramadan and make it about, in addition to the spiritual life and worship, adopting a more active behavior instead of sedentary throughout the month!

I starched and ironed the tablecloth and napkins, polished each glass, and set the table at least a day before the big event. I slavishly followed menus, trekking from store to store to find the exact ingredients. No recipe was too long, no meal too elaborate. In fact, I thrived on multistep dishes that required days of attention and care: puff pastry, layered pates and vegetable terrines, miniature sweet and savory tarts. I still love to have friends over, but something happened along the way. First one daughter was born, then a second. Part-time work evolved into a full-time job. Casual hobbies became passionate avocations. With all these activities fighting for my time, I had to change the way I cooked. My menus are simple and flexible now, and my parties mostly spur-of-the- moment. I love potlucks and shared suppers, and kids are always welcome. The food's fun, the atmosphere's casual, and family and friends always gravitate to the kitchen.

    Welcome in Restaurant Die Alde Heerlickheijt Here you will discover why “Limburgers” are known for their hospitality and gastronomic qualities. Choose from the rich menu that offers a variety of specialties. Our Chef de Cuisine, Johan Christiaan Reker, was inspired by the French cuisine with modern oriental influences. He uses the finest ingredients available in the beautiful region of “Limburg” such as cheeses from “Cheesefarm Mertens”, the cheeses are traditionally made from the milk of the 100 black and white cows grazing in the meadows of Kessel. The bread that we serve is “Pain de Campagne au Levain" a recipe that our chef brought from one of his former employers on the Côte d'Azur. The base for the recipe are fermented apples where we added rye flour dough to the main dough, also referred to as “levain”. After the addition of flour, water and salt, and the well-known kneading, our dough is baked fresh here, so you can enjoy it. Many of the herbs and flowers that we use in our dishes come from our herb garden, which is located in front of the castle and worth a visit! Our Service manager Anne-Marie van der Weerden has the finest wines selected for you by our wine suppliers. Let us surprise you by our Limburg wines from vineyard St.Martinus in Vijlen, a special wine company where oenologist Stan Beurskens is dedicated with passion to produce the finest wines with grapes from the province of Limburg.

  • Chapter-1 International Cuisine
    CHAPTER-1 INTERNATIONAL CUISINE: THE COOKING OF GREAT BRITAIN Historical Background Unlike the French, the British have no Grande cuisine or customs of elegant restaurant eating. Almost everyone royalty and commoner ate the same food, however fancy or plain. The royal kitchens merely drew on a wider variety of foodstuffs and in greater quantities. Britain was a worldwide trader since the 16 th century and could afford to import the best the world had to offer from tea, coffee and rice to exotic spices and fruits and all these found their way into home cooking. The British Breakfast The British consider it their finest meal. A truly traditional British breakfast would include Baps (a soft round roll) or some other traditional bread with preserves, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs - boiled, fried or scrambled, ham kedgeree, stewed prunes, sautéed kidneys, smoked haddock or kippers, cereals with milk and of course tea. The English breakfast owes, in particular much to the Scots. They eat an even more substantial breakfast that the English and the Welsh or the Irish. They consume vast quantities of porridge and considerable amount of bread usually in the form of a breakfast roll called a ‘Bap” and drink large quantities of tea sometimes laced with whisky. Aberdeen was the birthplace of the breakfast sausage, while Dundee is the home of marmalade without which no breakfast is completed. Bacon is in original entirely English. Ham, which also often figures on the breakfast table, is the cured hind leg of the pig. Only the English cured the pig, usually by salting, while the rest of Europe ate it fresh.

  • Dining Etiquette Q & a from Virginia Tech Career Services
    Dining etiquette The layout 1. Dinner plate: At the center. When finished eating, do not push the plate away from you. Place both your fork and knife across the center of the plate, handles to the right. Between bites, your fork and knife are placed on the plate, handles to the right, not touching the table. 2. Soup bowl: May be placed on the dinner plate. If you need to set your soup spoon down, place it in the bowl. Do not put it on the dish under the bowl until finished. 3. Bread plate: Belongs just above the tip of the fork. Bread should be broken into bite -sized pieces, not cut. Butter only the piece you are preparing to eat. When butter is served, put some on your bread plate and use as needed. 4. Napkin: Placed to the left of the fork. Sometimes placed under the forks or on the plate. 5. Salad fork: If a salad fork is to be used, you will find it to the left of the dinner fork. 6. Dinner fork: Placed to the left of the plate. If there are three forks, they are usually salad, fish, and meat, in order of use, from outside in. An oyster fork always goes to the right of the soup spoon. 7. Butter knife: Placed horizontally on bread plate. 8. Dessert spoon: Above the plate. 9. Cake fork: Above the plate. 10. Dinner knife: To the right of the plate. Sometimes there are multiple knives, perhaps for meat, fish, and salad, in order of use from outside in.
