November 30th, 2008 |

By Constantine Lekendiros

Rolled up Greek pies constitute a type of pies you probably wont find at any Greek restaurant. This type of Greek cheese pie is usually made by expert cooks because it is a pie recipe that requires a certain amount of skill.

As you probably know there are many different kinds of Greek pies this is perhaps one of the most tasty ones. This recipe is perhaps one of the easiest of its kind. It is a good rolled up Greek pie recipe that can be made by a beginner cook.

The ingredients you will need to prepare this pie are 1 �?½ kg of flour, a bit of salt and water. These ingredients will be used to prepare the phyllo dough. Then you will need to gather the ingredients for the filling. These should be 1 kg of crumbled feta cheese, half a cup of oil and half a cup of vegetable butter.

You can get started right after you collect all the ingredients. The first thing you need to do is to get started with the dough. In a big bowl knead the flour with some salt and water until the dough softens up.

Then leave the dough to rest for about 1 hour. Afterwards, separate the dough into 4 equal sized balls and by using the rolling pin open up one by one the phyllo pieces on a floured surface, giving them a round shape. Melt in the heated oil the vegetable butter and spread it on the phyllo pieces.

Place on a big table a clean tablecloth (dimensions of 1,5X1,5). Then, place a phyllo piece on the tablecloth, and by using your hands pull it carefully from all sides so it stretches and covers the whole table (be careful the phyllo piece does not rip). It would be helpful if a second person helped with this procedure in order to make the phyllo pieces as thin as possible.

Once you have opened up the phyllo piece, cover it with the crumbled feta on its entire surface. Afterwards, roll up the phyllo by using your hands once or twice only from one side (so you create a spiral). Then, lift the tablecloth to an almost vertical position and leave the phyllo to roll itself.

Place the phyllo roll circle wise on an oiled up pan and repeat the same procedure with the rest of the phyllo pieces. Then by using a brush oil up the pie and bake it in a medially heated oven for about 45 minutes.

This type of Greek cheese pie can constitute a part of a meal or even a meal on its own. Ideally you will want to serve this cheese pie warm. Remember, this is just one pie recipe of the countless that exist. Do your research and find the right Greek cheese pie variations that suites your taste.

14 Health Benefits For Taking Activated Zeolite Or Immune Detox

November 30th, 2008 | Uncategorized

By Paul Fitzgerald

Activated Liquid Zeolite”s key health benefits. There are 14 key reasons why liquid zeolite is claimed to be such a unique and extraordinary food supplement:

1. Extremely safe and non-toxic: Extremely safe and on-toxic: liquid zeolite is completely natural and 100% non-toxic. It is totally eliminated from the body after 5 to 7 hours. Liquid zeolite has been safely used by pregnant women, nursing mothers and small children. Also safe to take with most medication, but always check with your doctor first.

2. Removes heavy metals: Liquid zeolite has the perfect molecular structure for capturing and removing heavy metals from the body, including mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, aluminium, tin and excess iron. It also removes radioactive metals like cesium and Strontium-90. The process begins immediately and takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

3. Removes pesticides, herbicides and dioxins: Although liquid zeolite is unable to remove these directly due to their negative or neutral charge, by reducing the toxic load to the liver, liver-induced glucuronidation, their main means of removal, is increased. As these chemicals are prime candidates for triggering cancer and disrupting hormone balances, even in low levels, it is very important that they are removed from the body as quickly as possible.

4. Reduces viral load: And once the heavy metal concentrations have been reduced, the zeolite latches on to viral pieces or components. Because viruses replicate by first manufacturing viral components and then assembling them into a complete virus, liquid zeolite, in essence, removes parts from the assembly line and blocks viral replication.

5. Reduces absorption of nitrosamines: Nitrosamines (or nitrates) are most commonly found in processed meats, and have been linked to pancreatic, stomach and colon cancer, as well as to Type II diabetes. Liquid zeolite captures nitrosamines in the digestive tract before they can be absorbed.

6. Helps buffer body pH to a healthy alkalinity: A slightly alkaline body pH (7.35 – 7.45) is essential for good health and optimal immune function. Liquid zeolite attracts and then buffers excess protons which cause acidity and in this way can help many conditions from acid reflux to Candida and arthritis.

7. Helps to buffer blood sugar: in the same way that liquid zeolite can buffer excess protons and thus help balance body pH, it can also buffer excess glucose by its negative charge and therefore helps reduce blood sugar spikes.

8. Helps reduce cancer risk: Evidence is accumulating that liquid zeolite not only removes toxins that can cause cancer (75% or more of cancers may be toxin-related), but can also destroy cancer cells directly by triggering the P-21 tumor repressor gene. [N.B. This does not mean that liquid zeolite is a cancer treatment per se, but rather that it is a useful supplement to integrate into a treatment program.]

9. Improves nutrient absorption: In the gastro-intestinal tract, the presence of liquid zeolite increases nutrient absorption and helps promote healthy gut microorganisms, decreasing the likelihood of stomach flus and infections.

10. Acts as a powerful antioxidant: The cage-like structure of liquid zeolite also traps free radical molecules, making it an effective antioxidant. [N.B. This does not mean that liquid zeolite is a substitute for more conventional antioxidants such as Vitamins C, E and A, lutein and selenium, all of which have other vital roles to play in the body.]

11. Reduces symptoms of allergies: Liquid zeolite captures some of the allergens and antigens that trigger allergies, migraines, and asthma, and helps to reduce symptoms.

12. Increases immune system function: Liquid zeolite does not stimulate the immune system, but allows it to function optimally by removing toxins, viruses, yeasts, bacteria and fungi which can depress immune function and interfere with hormones. Many people report feeling increased energy, clarity and vitality.

13. Helps prevent premature aging: Many people age prematurely due to a build-up of toxins which interferes with optimal metabolic function and cellular repair. By using it to remove this toxic overload, the body”s normal repair and regeneration mechanisms are free to work efficiently.

14. Extremely easy and pleasant to take: Most serious detox solutions are difficult to take (many are injected or given as an enema, or must be taken away from meals), taste unpleasant, and can leave a person feeling drained because they indiscriminately remove healthy metal ions as well. By contrast, liquid zeolite is a small bottle of tasteless liquid that can be taken with or without food and that removes only unhealthy ions.

Greek Pies-The Greek Spinach and Cheese Pie

November 29th, 2008 |

By Constantine Lekendiros

Pies are very popular amongst Greeks around the world and in Greece. The two most popular types of Greek pies are the ones made with spinach and the ones made with Cheese. Cheese pies are very popular in Greece. That”s because they are very easy to make.

There are many different kinds of cheese used for cheese pies. Feta cheese is one of the most popular types. Another type of cheese used is Kefalotyri which is rather hard, salty yellow. Most Greek pie recipes In this book contain feta cheese as the basic ingredient. Certain cheeses, like kefalotyri might be hard to find outside of Greece.

You can make a Greek cheese pie with any kind of cheese. It all depends on your tastes and what ingredients you have available. You can substitute the cheeses with other local ones as long as you use a cheese with similar characteristics.

Another thing worth mentioning is that you can mix an match. For instance, in recipes that include feta cheese, instead of using only feta cheese you can add ricotta. I know that certain cheeses in this guide can be pricey.

For example, in recipes that call for half a kg of feta you can use a quarter of a kg of feta and a quarter of a kg of ricotta. If you like you can sprinkle a little bit of ground Parmesan to the mix for added flavor.

What I am trying to say is that the possibilities with these recipes are endless. The best thing you can do is to use these recipes as guidelines, alter if you like them in custom ways to suite your needs and tastes.

Just like the Greek cheese pies, Greek spinach pies can be found in every Greek kitchen in the world, whether that is a restaurant or a home kitchen. The primary ingredient of the Greek spinach pie or as we say in Greek, Spanakopita is spinach.

There are many different recipes of spanakopita and some also include cheese. Greek spinach pie recipes are popular because it is easy to make and its absolutely delicious.

Spinach and other greens are also very good healthy food choices. The beauty of Greek pie recipes is that they can be changed around and customized to your taste and needs. For instance, if you aim to make a really healthy spanakopita, instead of olive oil, you can use flax seed oil, use less phyllo and use fat free cheese. I am sure if you go through some of these recipes you will have many more ideas.

There are so many different Greek spinach pie recipes that it is virtually impossible to collect them all. Every cook has their own variation of delicious spanakopita. Some contain cheese, some don”t, some are rolled up and some are spread out.

Each recipe has its own character and taste. Reading through recipes before you select one and start cooking will give you an idea regarding the somewhat standard process in making spanakopita and other Greek pies.

One last thing to keep in mind is that some spinach pie recipes is that each recipe can be made with other greens aside from spinach. The term “horta” is loosely used in Greece to describe “greens”. Radicchio, endive, dandelions, arugula, rapini are some examples of what would be defined as horta.

In conclusion, Greek pies make tasty and healthy snacks and meals. Learning to make the most popular kinds of Greek pies, spinach pies and cheese pies is an excellent starting point for learning other more complex and even tastier Greek pie recipes.

Greek Pies-Understanding Greek Pie Recipes

November 29th, 2008 | Uncategorized

By Constantine Lekendiros

Greek pies are a very popular Greek dish. There are countless of Greek pie recipes that have been developed over hundreds or even thousands of years of Greek culinary history.

Greek pies are very popular because they are very diverse. Their diversity stems from the fact that any ingredient can be used to make a Greek pie.

The one thing all Greek pie recipes have in common is the phyllo. The phyllo dough is what is used to cover the top and the bottom of the filling and give the pie shape. Even though ingredients for the filling vary from recipe to recipe the phyllo is a constant that remains the same.

Today there are two kinds of phyllo. The kind that can be prepared from scratch and the one that can be purchased ready and frozen from most grocery stores in the world. There are several phyllo making methods, easier and other which require a bit more effort.

Understanding that everyone”s taste is somewhat different, every Greek pie recipe is structured in a way that leaves space for customization. There are many kinds of Greek pie recipes. Every recipe has its own unique taste and feel to it.

One of the most popular types of Greek pies is the cheese pie, known as the tiropita. Then the second most popular type of Greek pies is the one made with spinach, the spanakopita.

Cheese and spinach pies are the most popular Greek pies. However, there are several other great recipes in such as Vegetable and Meat pies. Vegetable and meat pies have not gained the international recognition both spinach and cheese pies have gained.

The reason is perhaps that these types of pies take a bit longer to prepare. These are the best kept secrets of pie making. All the recipes are absolutely delicious and after you make your first pie every recipe will be easy.

Regardless of what type of pie you choose to make you will need to know a few things about phyllo. Phyllo can be purchased ready from a grocery store or it can be made from scratch.

Home made phyllo is generally thicker than the store bought one and that can result in differences in taste. If you have never made a pie before I would suggest you try making one with store bought phyllo first.

After that you can try making your own phyllo. Every Greek pie recipe can include directions for preparing the phyllo. However each recipe requires its own particular phyllo.

One thing to keep in mind when working with store bought phyllo is that it”s frozen. For best results let it thaw out naturally. Don”t place the package in water, don”t use a microwave just leave it overnight.

In conclusion, Greek pie recipes can be prepared in many ways. You can do so by using home made or even pre-frozen phyllo and both taste great.

Getting Bottled Water Delivered to Your Home

November 28th, 2008 |

By Steve Cagney

Bottled Water delivery has become big business in the past few years partly due to the taste and health benefits it can offer. Lets face it water is the basis of all life and it is a well established fact that the human body needs it everyday to keep functioning. Getting water delivered to your home can actually be cheaper than purchasing bottles in the store. Before deciding on a bottle water delivery service, one should be familiar with options before entering a contract that could last over a year.

The first thing one should look into regarding bottled water delivery is the type of water. Many of the companies that deliver water to your home are simply filling the bottle from filtered tap water. Most of the large soft drink makers have a product line that is purely filtered water. This may be fine for your needs and one benefit of this is that it might contain the added benefit of fluoride that helps prevent tooth decay.

However if you are looking for the benefits of a more natural water source you may look into a provider of natural spring water. Natural spring water is exactly how it sounds, it is from a natural source that has not been treated or have chemicals added to it. You can find some natural spring water companies that will deliver it to your home such as Poland Springs, Zephyrhills or Fiji Water Delivery

One should also think about how the water will be delivered. Many companies deliver it in a larger container such as a 5 gallon bottle that needs to be used in conjunction with a dispenser. Usually a water dispenser is rented by the user from the water delivery company so there can be an added cost to the price of the water. Much of the natural spring water that is delivered is shipped in smaller sealed bottles from where it is bottled and that shipping price is included in the price. There aren”t many natural spring water providers that deliver in the larger five gallon bottles, so if you are set on having spring water delivered you will probably need to go with a provider that ships it in smaller bottles such as liter or half liter bottles.

Today there are many different types and ways to get bottled water to your home. Before you buy consider all your options so that you and your family can benefit from the water that you choose to drink.

A Beginners Guide To Seasonings

November 28th, 2008 | Uncategorized

By Patrik Karlsson

In this article I will try to explain what seasonings are and what the difference is between seasonings and condiments. Seasonings are a big part of our lives. I mean, how would the food that we are eating every day, taste without seasonings? Not so much, I guess…

To make food that taste good, you will need to use seasonings. Seasonings are a mix of different kind of herbs, spices and condiments that is put together and used to flavour the food. However, to be more precise in definition, seasoning and flavouring the food is not the same thing. According to the experts, salt does not have any seasoning qualities. The only thing salt does is to boost the flavour of the food you are making. But, because pepper and basil transfer a certain flavour to the food you are cooking, they do have the right quality to be accepted as seasonings.

As you are probably aware of, seasoning is very common in our kitchen and in restaurant kitchens. The difference between having a success and catastrophe, when making a meal or a dish, very often depends of having the right seasonings to flavour the food. But, how do you do that? Well, first and most important, you need to know what kind of herbs and spices harmonizing with each other. There are a lot of different herbs and spices you have to choose from, and only with some reading and testing, you will find out what works and not.

Another important fact that you should be aware of, is that the time when you add the spices and herbs in the food, is very important. You don”t want to add the spices and herbs too early in the cooking process, because there is a chance that the flavour will disappear. On the other hand, if you but in to late, the flavour may be to strong and destroying the food. There is a balance you need to achieve, if you want to make a perfect tasting meal.

According to the experts, seasoning and condiments is not the same thing. The difference is not very clear, but a simple explanation would be this:

Seasonings are placed together into four categories
1. Saline seasonings (t ex. Salt)
2. Acid seasonings (relies on vinegar or citric juices)
3. Hot seasonings (relies on paprika, curry, cayenne pepper or pepper spices)
4. Saccharine seasonings (relies on sugar and honey)

Condiments, on the other hand, can be pungent like onion and garlic; they can be hot like mustard, capers, chilli, or fatty like butter, animal and vegetable fats or greases.

The difference between condiments and seasonings is not well known by most people. But, most people know what kind of flavour they like and how to put together the seasonings to get it right when cooking. And since there”s a lot of mixes of seasonings or condiments that is produce now days by companies, there is no need to make the mixes yourself. However, to make the mixes yourself is not that hard to do, and the result will hopefully be so much better.

A Short Guide To Using Bar Equipment

November 26th, 2008 |

By Anna Stenning

For students or young people in general, imagine getting your first job at a bar or pub and being faced with all these large metallic equipment which pump out various beverages of varying colours. New bars or pubs that have a modern decor tend to be the most intimidating of all places to work in, because it is important to keep up with the new clean appearance. Every aspect of the pub would need to be taken care and a watchful vigilant eye over the furniture is equally as important.

Training is usually given to newbie staff over using bar equipment especially if it means making complex cocktails or using it during a busy period and getting the drinks churned out quickly to demanding customers. The most important thing about keeping a bar running smoothly is not just knowing how to work the equipment but to also keep it maintained and cleaned. Without this amount of effort and emphasis on keeping the equipment working at its best you are more likely to run into problems at the worse possible times.

Bar equipment can be drinks processing machinery such as hot drinks machine or a soft drinks machine. Hot drinks machine are usually built to process teas, coffees, cappuccinos, hot chocolates, mochas, lattes etc. These cut the time down considerably if they are needed quickly, rather than making them from scratch this can be fast forwarded slightly with a few pushes of a button and the odd top up with squirty cream or heated milk using the steamer.

Other things that count towards using good bar equipment efficiently is the unique glassware and knowing which ones to use for each beverage. For example, it would be silly to use a beer glass for wines or spirits; however they can be used for soft drinks and non-alcohol concoctions. Putting them in presentable glasses and adding attractive little features to them give the drink a tastier appearance. More people are drawn to something that looks stylish and clean, rather drinking from something that is stained and does not match the beverage.

Accessories in drinks such as the usual umbrella, fruits on a stick, tongs or long spoon are good especially when serving drinks in a long glass. Some bars have their own unique beverage holders, specific to the theme of their restaurant, in this instance the equipment used must be checked regularly and maintained to the highest level in order to keep the bar running at top speed.

Major cocktail equipment are generally used to keep up with the demands such as the obvious cocktail shakers, ice crushers, ice machines, drink stirrers, ice flakers, shot glasses, granita mix glasses, steamer spouts etc. Without these the bar would have trouble maintaining a reputation for providing quality cocktails.

Some of these equipment are not always readily available in commercial shops and stores. These are generally available online, where experienced users of these products provide advice and recommendations on specific brands of equipment.

Keeping Up With The Barista Appearances

November 24th, 2008 |

By Anna Stenning

Many people will not realise or know this but running a successful bar is not just about pricing your drinks right or keeping with the trend of mixing the latest cocktails. Part of it is to do with what bar supplies you store or use to provide good quality beverages. Keeping up-to-date with everything that means keeping a steady business flowing for your establishment is something not to be taken lightly and regular customers do pick up on venues that go out of date in terms of equipment and decor.

Not all bars are alcoholic remember, some are dedicated to producing nutritious and healthy smoothies. Even these have specially designed smoothie bar supplies that produce the products at top speed, and are most likely used constantly throughout the day. Therefore, at no point can they be breaking down by a piece of orange peel or grape lodged in its motor somewhere. After a while these machines can and will breakdown, because equipment such as these is like technological devices, they are constantly changing and evolving.

Change is inevitable in the catering industry because this ensures that food produced are protected and constantly improved along the way. When running a bar it is likely that bar supplies you have will undoubtedly change within six months to year. It is always a good idea to keep them maintained by some of the larger mechanical equipments, such as a smoothie machine checked up and serviced. Even the smallest of bar supplies are always in need of checking, such as glasses, placemats, crockery, dishes, napkin dispensers etc.

Even supplies such as entertainment systems, seating furniture, decorative items and design are all major things to consider. A bar that has a neutral yet unique look to it is more likely to be visited by regular customers as well attract new customers. The atmosphere of any bar or restaurant must be welcoming and simple with all of the signage displayed clearly. There is nothing worse than walking in to a bar that has not seen a lick of paint for many years and the seats a re worn out and dusty. This is not a good start to bringing in the punters.

In a situation like this Gordon Ramsey maybe the best person to turn the place around, however, there are simple steps that the owner can make without having to go under the spotlight! Having a maintenance worker to check the supplies and equipment regularly is one way of preventing unpredictable breakdowns and reduces the risk of paying out a hefty amount for replacement equipment. Other steps such as keeping the furniture clean and presentable at all times is a good way of making them last longer.

Looking Rich On Your Dinner Table

November 24th, 2008 | Uncategorized

By Anna Stenning

If you are not a millionaire or financially successful, then the thought of spending thousands or even millions of pounds on a new tableware set is something that you will not have come across. However, in recent times those who can afford a solid gold plated cutlery set and real crystal glassware sets are putting up an impressive million pound spread, all in the name of having the best dinner party.

There used to be a time where selecting tableware was simply mixing and matching dinner sets with your placemats and tablecloth, however, manufacturers have introduced new fashionable items that include much more than just simple sets and designs. There is more to consider in terms of putting on a good table setting, which have intricate or custom designs that give way a glimpse of your personality and your own individual taste.

Japanese jeweller Ginza Tanaka has recently begun selling a thirteen piece tableware set for a million dollars – what is it about this tableware set that makes it worth a million dollars? The sets offered include chopsticks, goblets, plates and cutlery which have all been engraved dragons. The sets are aimed at the Chinese market, where (despite economic slowdown) people have shown a an interest in buying sets that are designed to resemble luxury at the dinner table. Tanaka has also designed gold products such as gold bath tubs and gold bathing suits, adding a touch of class in households.

However is it necessary to spend so much money on dinnerware sets? How important is it to make such an impression over a dinner party? There is no universal answer apart from it is up to the individual. Those who can afford it, will be able to put up a million dollar spread, however, most of us normal 9 to 5 workers would much rather put up a spread of no more than fifty to a hundred pounds. In hindsight having luxurious sets are rarely seen in normal party situations and mostly on special occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, graduation days etc.

There are ways of looking like you are putting up a million dollar/pound spread without actually spending out a hefty amount. Simple steps such as using plain and neutral coloured tablecloths can be bought for cheap and if you are a dab hand at needlecrafts or designing then why not customise this with your own creative inspiration. Place mats can be bought cheap in pound shops or in any major supermarket, these do not have to anything fancy, as long as it does not clash with the rest of the set and does what it is meant to do – protecting the tablecloth.

Dinner sets and glassware are probably the most expensive of the tableware setting. But even these can be bought without breaking the bank, by keeping it simple again. If you are not going to use a dipped fine china soup ladle then why buy it? Buy the things that you are likely to use again, such as plates, soup bowls, dessert bowls, saucers, cutlery etc. Glassware does not need to be made of the finest crystal material, but large tumbler sets or simple glass sets with little or no designs are much more effective in impressing people with even the most discerning tastes. Simplicity goes a long way; this puts the focus on the food where it should be.
