  • Cocktails from the Future
    Some historians will tell you that the first cocktail was made in 1586 on board Sir Francis Drake’s ship stranded near Havana. The sailors were too sick to sail, so according to legend, Drake mixed together “local medicines such as mint, lime, bark from the chuchuhuasi tree soaked in rum, and cane sugar.” The resulting “El Draque” might not have tasted great, but it allegedly cured his sailors. This improvised concoction of ingredients (a likely precursor to the mojito) set the stage for nearly 500 years of spirited ingenuity. In the next decade, the ingredients we’ll have on hand to make cocktails will be drastically different: lab grown egg whites in your gin fizz, climate change fighting perennial wheat in your beer, or entirely new and unexpected recipe combinations designed by artificial intelligence to reduce food waste or maximize flavor. Getting creative with future cocktail recipes can help us think about how best to meet urgent, global challenges that extend well beyond how to sail our stranded ship back home. 1 These recipes are inspired by a newly released report from Institute for the Future’s Food Futures Lab, Food Innovation: Recipes for the Next Decade. You can download the full report at www.iftf.org/foodinnovation The recipes highlight ingredients that are today’s signals of change—small or local innovations that have the potential to scale and transform the global food system. These signals are emphasized in bold in each recipe. However, these recipes are artifacts from the future. While all of the ingredients are real companies and products today, some are still in development or are not yet commercially available.

  • What Is a Shrub?
    What is a shrub? The man behind the beverage counter at the festival asked me if I ever had a great shrub. With questioning eyes, I imagined that beautiful green evergreen that grows outside our house. I guess he knew that I had no idea why he was asking me that question since he started to laugh as he explained that it is fruit syrup preserved with vinegar and mixed with water or alcohol to create a very refreshing drink. It seems that this is an old fashioned idea that was used to preserve seasonal fruit, creating fresh flavored syrup that can be used for beverages, salad dressings, or meat glazes. Adding vinegar to water helped make it safe to drink for Babylonians and even Romans made a beverage like this called posca. Early colonial sailors carried those vitamin C enhanced shrubs to prevent scurvy. Many older cookbooks or well as some recent ones have recipes for shrubs. As I researched shrub recipes, I found several different methods. Most of them involved creating fruit-flavored vinegar and adding sugar to it. The vinegar acts as the preserving agent, allowing fresh fruits to turn into flavorful syrups. The ingredients are simple: Fresh fruit, vinegar, and sugar Fruits - Think berries, peaches, plums, pears, cherries and many other fruits, just make sure they are wonderfully ripe and sweet. The fruits need to be washed, peeled, chopped, or lightly crushed. Some additions can be ginger, citrus peels, or even peppercorns. Vinegar – you can use distilled white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or even wine vinegars.

C. PREFACE. In all ages of the world, and in all countries, men have in­ dulged in "so­ cial drinks." They have al­ ways possess­ ed themselves of some popu­ lar beverage apart from water and those of the breakfast and tea table. Whether it is judicious that mankind should con­ tinue to indulge in such things, or whether it would be wiser to abstain from all enjoyments of that character, it is not our province to decide. We leave that question to the moral philosopher. We simply contend that a relish for "social drinks" is universal; that those drinks exist in greater variety in the United States than in any other country in the world; and that he, therefore, who proposes to impart to these drink not only the most palatable but the most wholesome characteristics of which they may be made susceptible, is a genuine public benefactor.

  • ​ Make Your Own Apple Cider Vinegar
    ​ Make Your Own Apple Cider Vinegar Once you know the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar, you may want to try making your own at home. Apple Cider Vinegar is known to be high in phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. It is also valuable in preventing heartburn and in helping with digestion. Apple Cider Vinegar is also beneficial for the skin. Adding a little to your bath can help to ​ naturally restore the skin’s pH. It can also kill off bacteria and fungus on the skin which are the cause of many skin problems including eczema and dandruff. You can also use it as a substitute for conditioner after you shampoo. Just a few things to keep in mind: ● For the best results, use organic apples. This way you’ll know they are free from pesticides which can interfere with fermentation. You can also use leftover peels and cores if you have them. ● What is the best apple to use? Try a variety! Some of the more popular varieties you could try are Gala, Granny Smith, Fuji, Honeycrisp, and McIntosh. ● Use very clean containers washed in hot, soapy water. Not doing so could cause bad bacteria being added to your ACV which can result in mold growth. ● You will be making ACV that is unfiltered and unpasteurized. Because of this, your ACV will contain what is known as “mother”. This is strands of proteins, friendly bacteria,and ​ enzymes that develop during the fermentation process in the vinegar. This causes the ​ ​ ACV to have a murky or cloudy appearance but it’s nothing to worry about.

  • French-Style Pork Chops with Apples and Calvados
    FROM SHOW NO. 428 FRENCH-STYLE PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND CALVADOS SERVES 4 We prefer natural pork, but if the pork is enhanced (injected with a salt solution), decrease the salt in step 1 to ½ teaspoon per chop. To ensure that they fit in the skillet, choose apples that are approx- imately 3 inches in diameter. Applejack or regular brandy can be used in place of the Calvados. Before flambéing, be sure to roll up long shirtsleeves, tie back long hair, and turn off the exhaust fan and any lit burners. Use a long match or wooden skewer to flambé the Calvados. The amount of vinegar to add in step 4 will vary depending on the sweetness of your cider. 4 (12- to 14-ounce) bone-in pork rib chops, 1 inch thick Kosher salt and pepper 4 Gala or Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cored 2 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces PHOTO CREDIT: CARL TREMBLAY 3 shallots, sliced Pinch ground nutmeg 5.

  • 12 Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar
    12 Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar 1. Improved Digestion Drinking apple cider vinegar in water can help to naturally improve your digestion. Take a tablespoon of ACV in a big glass of water around 15 minutes before a meal to stimulate digestive juices for better breakdown of your food. It’s important to use raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with the mother for this and all of the other health benefits listed below. The mother is the cloudy strings of naturally occurring pectin and proteins that form during fermentation. Filtered and pasteurized vinegars will not have this and lack the enzymes and other nutritional properties in raw ACV that have such a positive effect on the digestive process. Real apple cider vinegar, like this organic version I use, contains valuable minerals and trace elements, LDL cholesterol lowering pectin, fat burning acetic acid, anti-viral malic acid, live enzymes, amino acids and many other beneficial nutrients. When you drink apple cider vinegar regularly, ideally before each main meal, you digestion improves and you naturally begin assimilating more from your food. This can also reduce hunger and help with losing weight. 2. Heartburn, Intestinal Problems and Constipation Regular apple cider vinegar in water is believed to help correct low stomach acid conditions that leads to heartburn. Importantly, straight ACV is very strong and likely to be too powerful for heartburn sufferers, and especially those with ulcers, so make sure you dilute it well. Apple pectin fiber, found in the mother of raw and unfiltered apple cider vinegar, soothes the entire gastrointestinal tract, helping to prevent stomach cramps, bloating and gas.

  • Effect of Apple Cider Vinegar (Acv) “With Mother” On
    1 2 EFFECT OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (ACV) “WITH MOTHER” ON 3 PROGESTERONE, TESTOSTERONE, AND ESTROGEN OF WISTAR RATS.ON 4 ALBINO RAT. 5 6 ABSTRACT 7 Aim: Apple cider vinegar (ACV) with mother" has been singled out as an especially helpful 8 health remedy. This present research evaluated the effect of ACV ‘with mother’ on hormones 9 (testosterone, estrogen and progesterone) of Wistar rats. 10 Materials and method: Eighteen rats with average weight range of 120g were grouped into six 11 groups. Three groups served as the control for each week (week 1, 2 and 3) while the remaining 12 three groups were treated with 1ml of ACV twice daily. The animals were treated for a total of 13 21 days. After each week the animals in that group were sacrificed and laboratory analyses were 14 performed. 15 Results: After oral administration of the product, the results revealed significant reductions in a 16 time dependent manner with the highest reductions obtained on the last week of experiment. The 17 result obtained for estrogen showed significant reduction (p<0.05) in week one with test value 18 (7.74±0.19 mlU/ml) as compared to control (8.36±0.01 mlU/ml). For progesterone, there was an 19 increase (p<0.05).The highest test value was obtained in week 3, (3.64±0.08 mlU/ml) as 20 compared to control value (3.15±0.01 mlU/ml). However, there was also a reduction in 21 testosterone level. 22 Conclusion: In conclusion, ACV reduces the levels of estrogen and testosterone but increased 23 progesterone level of Wistar rats.
