  • Soups Page 1 of 31
    Soups Trevor: Hello everyone this is Trevor Justice with the Vegetarian Health Institute. Tonight’s topic is Savory Soups. And our guest expert is Lenore Baum who is the author of Sublime Soups and Lenore’s Natural Cuisine. How you doing, Lenore? Lenore: I’m great, how are you Trevor? Trevor: Pretty good. In fact I’m starting to get hungry reading these soup recipes again. Lenore: Good. Trevor: I’m wondering if you want to kind of summarize the key points from the written lesson for people that haven’t read it yet before we go into the new student questions. Lenore: Okay. I’ll just kind of skim over it to allow time for questions and if there aren’t questions enough, I will go back and do more details. Basically, soups are my passion because it’s really my favorite food. It’s warming and nourishing and wholesome and in these economic times, very expensive. And we eat it for breakfast here in Asheville, North Carolina. And I eat it for breakfast in Phoenix, Arizona and Michigan, it’s just anywhere you live you can eat it for breakfast and have a small bowl for lunch, or a big bowl, or have it for dinner. And it’s a great travel food. You can easily put it in a thermos. And it’s extremely forgiving. Basically any ingredient in the soup recipe that you don’t like, you leave out and it should come out as long as there’s some kind of a little bit of fat in, a little bit of salt, and then the basic ingredient like beans.

  • Clam Recipes
    Clams Processing and Clam Recipes Washington’s ocean beaches and Puget Sound shore lands contain many varieties of clams. There are many different species but littlenecks (including Manilas and native littlenecks), butter clams, razor clams, and geoduck are choice food species. The cockle, Eastern softshell, and horse clam have a fine flavor but the meat can be tough unless ground or chopped, and is usually used in chowder. Horse clam meat can also be pounded and lightly fried for delicious fritters and the siphons make a delicious ceviche. Razor clams are only found on the outer coast of Washington State as they require a high energy sandy beach to survive. How to purge littlenecks: Purging clams involves soaking “steamer clams” (Manilas and native littlenecks) in cold seawater to allow them to clear their tissues of sand and grit. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to add cornmeal unless you enjoy the taste of cornmeal in the stomachs of your cooked clams. We do not recommend purging any clams except littlenecks. To prepare littlenecks or “steamers” for cooking, first scrub the clams under running water to remove any attached sand. (Test clams again at this point to make sure you have no “mudders”, or shells full of sand. These sneaky chowder-ruining imposters are often heavier than live clams, and will generally break open if the two halves are squeezed in a twisting, sliding motion between thumb and fingers.) Place the rinsed clams in a bucket of clean sea water and allow them to stand for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight.

  • Matt-Cyn Farms 2016 Bean Descriptions Amethyst Beautiful Oval-Shaped Bean with a Stand-Out Deep Purple Color
    Matt-Cyn Farms 2016 Bean Descriptions Amethyst Beautiful oval-shaped bean with a stand-out deep purple color. They have a nice creamy texture and a unique full-bodied flavor. Popular in soups and salads, but these will stand on their own flavor-wise with little seasoning. We like using these for purple beans and rice. Anna’s Black-Eyed Pea In the Southern U.S., eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day is thought to bring prosperity in the new year. This strain was given to us by our friend Anna. “Hoppin' John,” made of black-eyed peas, rice and pork, is a traditional Southern dish. “Texas caviar,” another traditional dish, is made from black-eyed peas marinated in vinaigrette-style dressing and chopped garlic, and served cold. Black-eyed peas are sometimes called cowpeas, goat peas, purple-eyed peas, frijoles or cream peas. They make a great addition to stews, soups, curries and salads. They can also be a perfect side dish, or they can be mashed into a dip. Black Coco This fat round black bean has a thin skin, relatively firm but buttery consistency, and a lot of flavor. These beans were brought from Latin America to France in 1928 and became a staple during WWII. They work quite well as a side dish with simple seasonings. Black Kabouli Garbanzo Named for Kabul Afghanistan where this chickpea has been cultivated for thousands of years. This unique black garbanzo has a flavor similar to the beige-colored ones you are used to but has a more creamy texture.

  • Greek Cuisine
    GREEK CUISINE The Greek food throughout its history and continuing today is for the Greeks a philosophy, they know that what makes a perfect feast is not just the food but also the good company. Food is nearly always prepared with the tastes of the guests in mind, should the dishes be roasted or fried, light or heavy? and the wine carefully chosen. Much of the conversation at the dinner table centres amicably around the food. The freshness of the fish , having just leapt from the sea; the vegetables newly dug from the ground or picked from the vines of the local farmers. The host will want to proudly point out how they have attempted to provide the best and freshest produce for you to enjoy. The traditional day is still de rigueur on the islands. It begins early with a quick breakfast of coffee and cigarettes or dried Rusk soaked in warm milk, followed by a substantial lunch and a siesta. After a few hours more work, evening is the time to relax with family and/or friends whilst nibbling meze (Greek appetizer). This is followed at 9 or 10pm by dinner with, perhaps, sweet pastries, cakes or ice-cream enjoyed later in the cafes. Strong distinctive tastes are the hallmark of this culinary rhythm. Herbs like rigani (oregano), thyme, rosemary, parsley, coriander, dill, fennel and sage; spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, vanilla and mastic are all crucial. Greek olive oil enriches and flavours and the traditional cooking methods of grilling, long slow baking all enhance and mellow the food.
