How Fresh is Your Coffee?

If you are buying your coffee right off the grocery store shelf in bulk, then you may be in trouble. The truth of the matter is that for your coffee to have the best taste, flavor, and aroma, then it needs to be completely fresh. You cannot purchase it in the same consumer way that you would bulk flour because of the fact that it will go stale within two weeks of being roasted. The odds are even worse for you if it is freshly ground because you only have a few hours before it starts to go stale. This means that if you are buying coffee directly off of your grocery store shelf, then it has been stocked up for months at a time, and the flavor quality is low. Coffee is something that needs to be seen and valued with the maximum freshness and perishable quality so that you can only have the best taste in your cup of Joe. Your coffee is best enjoyed directly after it is roasted, so it is recommended that you purchase from online retailers that actually will freshly roast the day that they s

About Orange Juice

Florida is the first place that comes to mind when oranges are mentioned. But did you know that India too shows great interest with oranges and well, orange juice? Although people from other countries around the world have switched to consuming other 'healthier' and more exotic fruits like Acai for instance, Indians are continuous in showing appreciation for the benefits of eating and drinking oranges. Studies about whether or not using artificial orange juice powders, substitutes that are easy to prepare but contain tons of sugar and preservatives, is really advisable have been keeping Indian food experts busy for these past few years. And of course, judging by the amount of publicity oranges receive in the nation, it is not surprising that the drink sell like pancakes there. Questions about whether or not drinking orange juice really is healthy plague consumer catalogs in India. Anyway, as health-conscious people, it is only inevitable for Indian consumers to keep on asking q

How to Make Money For Cooking Tips

You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don't just jump right in unprepared. The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who'd have you believe it's a "Walk in the Park" and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it. And I'll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

5 Reasons Why Terrorists Target Tourists

This question is always at the back of our mind. Why are tourists among the favorite prey of almost all terrorists? Let me give you 5 of the many reasons why terrorists target tourists. cqn62j7uwi Firstly, it is a common knowledge that tourists are easy to attack. Like any other undertaking, terrorism needs precision which in turn requires predictability. Take into account the travel time of a group of tourists who will be ferried from one place to another via tour bus. From the time of the departure from their hotel to the time they reached the tourist spot that they are going to visit is something researchable to the terrorists. Say with a daily schedule, five or seven days a week is an ideal target because knowing these data, a perfect plan can be made. Secondly, tourists are better targets than the locals. More often than not, terrorists reside on the place where the attacks took place and the public knew of their existence. While it is true that targeting the tourists can cause an

The New Trend in Fusion Cuisine

For many years, fast food chains have made burgers, fries and shakes as menu staples of these establishments everywhere in the world and people across regions have learned to like these types of food however different they may be to their native dishes. But now, gone were the days where restaurants just stick to what they usually serve as more and more people are looking for variety as well as that new yet familiar taste that they have grown accustomed to with their local food. So, in the Asian region, alone, restaurants like Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), which originally serves American cuisine, have revamped its menu by introducing new dishes that would hopefully capture the target local customers. KFC decided to expand its menu that combined Western Cuisine with Eastern influences in order to not just provide more food choices but also adapt to the local palate. Thus, this quirky and innovative restaurant has strengthened the establishment of a new trend in fusion cuisine, which is

Chicken Korma Recipes by Timur Hassan

It is generally believed that the roots regarding the Chicken Korma Recipe extend from Mughlai Food, and a Persian - Indian mild curried dish that has been dated right back to the sixteenth century. Despite that, the creamy coconut sauce does suggest it is, as many others feel, a dish from the south of India. Coconut is used extensively in southern Food, not only coconut milk, but also oil of coconut and grated coconut are used. For those who favour more subtle flavouring, this creamy dish is a very good. Western coastal areas of India use coconut oil for curried dishes, while the more inner regions tend to use groundnut oil. As a rule, Korma dishes describe a dish where the meat or vegetables are cooked with milk of coconut, cream or yogurt. Sometimes, nut and seed pastes may also be added. The Chicken Korma Recipe usually calls for milder Spices, it can be one of the mildest of all the Indian curried dishes. A wonderful mix of mild Spices, which includes the mixed Indian spice Garam

The Treasures of Hungarian Cooking by S. Tanna

Hungary is home to an interesting and in some ways exotic cuisine, especially if you compare it the cuisine of some of the country's neighbors in central Europe. One of the main exotic elements of Hungarian food is that dishes are often flavored with paprika - according to some, this spice was first introduced to Hungary by the Ottoman Turks when they invaded the country in 1526. Hungarian ingredients often include eggs, sour cream, and beef (there is a strong cattle-herding tradition associated with the Hungarian plain). Since Hungary has no sea coast, seafood is not commonly eaten, however, there are dishes that make use of river fish such as carp, catfish, perch and pike. The most famous of Hungarian dishes is of course Gulyás (known overseas as "goulash", although overseas dishes often differ greatly from the original Hungarian recipe). Hungarian Gulyás is made from beef on the bone such as shin, shoulder or shank. The meat is seasoned with paprika and then browned. I

6 Reasons To Go Gluten-Free by Roger Holden

First Of All, What Is Gluten Anyway And Why Should I Care? FDA Gluten Definition (Glutten, Glottin, Gludin, Gluton, Glutten) anyway you want to spell the word, its really "GLUTEN". Gluten is a composite of the proteins gliadin and glutenin. These exist, conjoined with starch, in the endosperms of some grass-related grains, notably wheat, rye, and barley. Gliadin and glutenin compose about 80% of the protein contained in wheat seed. Being insoluble in water, they can be purified by washing away the associated starch. Worldwide, gluten is an important source of nutritional protein, both in foods prepared directly from sources containing it, and as an additive to foods otherwise low in protein. The seeds of most flowering plants have endosperms with stored protein to nourish embryonic plants during germination, but true gluten, with gliadin and glutenin, is limited to certain members of the grass family. The stored proteins of maize and rice are sometimes called glutens, but the

How to Bake a Chicken Breast

First things first when getting ready to bake a chicken breast - you need to prep the oven (I like to set it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit) and prepare your seasonings. The number of ways you can season your chicken breast is endless - you can put a little olive oil, salt & pepper; some lemon and a touch of butter; or even some spicy Cajun seasoning. These are really just a few of the ways in which you can season your chicken. Now, you need to put the chicken in an oven safe dish. I like to put a light coat of olive oil in the bottom of the dish so the chicken breast doesn't stick too bad when it's done. Now put your chicken in the oven and finish setting the table and making the salad! The important thing to remember with chicken is that it must be cooked thoroughly for the safety of those eating it. The chicken can potentially be carrying Salmonella bacteria, which can make you very, very sick and can even kill you. By ensuring that the core temperature of the chicken breast

Chicken Steak Recipe

Eating steak has always been a symbol of prosperity. During the turn of the century, steak houses were patronized by the elite. The cattle and the oil barons ate their thick cuts of sirloins smothered with oysters or stuffed with them making it too expensive of a place for the common folk. This is one source for my inspiration. How many times have you been into a restaurant, and had a dish that was just so good, you had to try making it for yourself at home? I know I have. At least one of my better recipes was inspired by a dinner I had on my first anniversary at a local Italian restaurant. It is very rare for chicken fried steak to be made from a top quality cut of beef. After all, the steak is not being expected to stand entirely on its own, so it is not vital that it be perfect. Additionally, the frying of the steak has a tenderizing effect on the meat, which also permits a slightly lower quality cut of meat to be used. Obviously, there is a limit, but chicken fried steak is more fo

KFC Fried Chicken Recipe - Have You Found The Secret Recipe?

Imagine, the recipe written by Harland Sanders in pencil on a piece of paper is now guarded around the clock. Only a few super select people know the exact recipe.

Taste of Hungary

Hungary is a country in central Europe. It is known for its unusual and distinctive cuisine. Hungarian dishes often use eggs and sour cream, and are frequently flavored with paprika (which was introduced into Hungary in 1526, when the Ottoman Turks invaded the country). Additionally, a number of Hungarian dishes derive from the cattle herding traditions of the Hungarian plain (which actually extends far beyond the present borders of the country). Here are some popular Hungarian dishes: * Gulyás (also known as "Gulyásleves") - This is the original Hungarian dish from which westernized versions of "goulash" ultimately derived. The Hungarian original is a thick beef and vegetable soup (not stew). It is made by browning paprika-seasoned beef on the bone (usually beef shoulder, shin or shank), and then slowly cooking with vegetables (onions, peppers and sometimes potatoes are used) with herbs. During cooking, the soup becomes very thick with a stew-like texture, because
