Most of us have come to realize that today’s society is based on convenience. Our lifestyles have become so demanding and hectic that we rely on anything that will make our lives easier. We look for convenience in everything we do, whatever will help get us through our workday and busy evenings and weekends.

Food is a perfect example, fast food, prepared food and food that is easy and quick to prepare are all things that were created for our “convenience”. Are we sacrificing our health for convenience? For more help visit to: www.atkins-diets-recipes.com.Perhaps we are, convenience food is not always the healthiest choice we make. Most prepared food has a high fat content and an even higher level of sodium, two of the worst things we can do to our bodies.

I saw a fast food chain commercial on TV the other night and the premise was that it challenged a family to shop at a grocery store for the same items in the fast food chains’ meal deal for the same dollar amount they charge for the meal deal. Of course the family was coming out cheaper with the restaurant meal and, of course, the grocery store didn’t have the restaurants’ secret ingredients necessary to make the meal (imagine that!). I’ll save my tangent about truth in advertising for another article!

What I kept asking myself was, what about the benefits of cooking and eating at home? It’s great that the family was actually shopping together and sure, the children were learning some basic math skills but how about teaching them about eating healthy and cooking skills that they could carry into their adult life?

Back to the basics of life, cooking and baking at home. Spending time with the family in the comfort of your own kitchen making your own meal and I don’t mean pouring a prepackaged box of something into a casserole dish, I mean making the casserole from scratch or maybe even making a Meatloaf. Meatloaf is a pretty easy dish to make and there is probably some task that you’ve been putting off that you can take care of while the Meatloaf bakes for an hour. Maybe even help the kids with their homework, a school project or just spending time with the family as a whole. If your children are old enough, you can have them help you prepare the meal, teach them how to cook and help prepare them for life on their own.

Cooking from scratch is a wonderful thing and it can definitely be a family affair! There are an infinite number of cookbooks available. For more detail go to:www.cooking-groundbeef.com.Everything from organic cooking, diabetic cookbooks, vegetarian, kid’s menus, and low crab as well as decadent desserts, chocolate lovers, gourmet, and the list goes on and on.

The beauty of all this is that you can still keep technology in the mix with going back to the kitchen with ebook cookbooks. Ebook cookbooks are digital cookbooks that you can download in the blink of an eye or the click of a mouse. You can burn the ebooks onto a CD and most CD’s will hold a few books so you can keep similar books on the same CD. CD’s take up much less space than bulky books and it’s very easy to find the recipe you’re looking for since the ebooks are indexed.

Whatever recipe you’re in the mood for, whether you’re entertaining friends, planning a holiday meal or just a quiet meal for two, it’s out there just let your fingers do the walking on the keyboard. Reintroduce yourself and the family to good, healthy home cooking, you won’t regret it!

The Africa Cookbook $20.48 In The Africa Cookbook, culinary historian and cookbook author Jessica B. Harris takes you on a tour of the Motherland, exploring the extraordinary diversity of the cuisines of the continent.The Africa Cookbook features more than 200 traditional and contemporary recipes collected from home kitchens across Africa, including the familiar couscous of Morocco, the savory stews of the eastern grasslands, and the curries and chutneys of the Swahili coasts. From the sophisticated cuisine of Senegal to the creolized food of Mauritius and the Seychelles to the Afrikaner barbecues of South Africa, Harris presents the food of the continent and paints unforgettable portraits of the people who shared their culinary heritage with her. Illustrated with archival postcards from the author’s collection, The Africa Cookbook celebrates countries whose contributions to the way we eat today have been too long ignored. Now home cooks can sample Potatoes with Mint Leaves and Garlic from Algeria or Senegal’s classic Theibou Dienn. Spicy fried oysters with peanut sauce from Togo wakes up the palate, while Mango Cream from Cameroon cools the fire. Carrot Sambal from South Africa makes a piquant side dish, while Kedjenou (chicken stewed with tomato, onions, chile, garlic, and ginger) from C&3244;te d’Ivoire makes an intriguing main course.A special section of menus using recipes from the book complete with suggestions for appropriate decor and music, makes it easy to plan a variety of African feasts. Harris also includes a glossary of ingredients and utensils, a selection of mail-order sources, and a list of more good reading on African foods.

The Wicca Cookbook $11.48 : With menus and recipes for each of the ten sabbats, this is a major resource for anyone planning a dish for the countless potlucks we hold at every season. I began reading it with some fear and trepidation. When the authors began speaking of Medieval customs, I was terribly afraid that the recipes would concentrate on things like boar’s heads and roast oxen, or whatever the Witches of Old might have at their seasonal gatherings. On the contrary, the recipes that Wood and Seefeldt include in this attractive collection tend to be simple and very good, at least to judge from those that I’ve sampled. And no, the ingredients are not at all exotic. I tried making latkes, which were quick and easy to mix in my medieval Cuisinart. With a bit of apple in the mix, they were very good. I also had no problems with soups, which were simple and delicious. But the recipes are only the beginning. A fascinating introduction gives a positive, brief picture of Neo-Pagan Witchcraft, as background for anyone new to the Craft. Then, for each of the sabbats and for each recipe, there is an introduction, suggesting, among other things, rituals for blessing the meal and for invoking the appropriate Deities. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed reading the whole book, from cover to cover, which is something I’ve never done with any of the hundred-or-so other cookbooks sitting on my sagging shelves. This is likely to become my favorite cookbook, and I suspect it could be yours, too. Not just a cookbook, this unusual publication outlines the spiritual relevance of the eight major pagan holidays and offers appropriate rituals, menus, and recipes for each occasion.

The Herbfarm Cookbook $28.98 Not so long ago, parsley was the only fresh herb available to most American cooks. Today, bunches of fresh oregano and rosemary can be found in nearly every supermarket, basil and mint grow abundantly in backyards from coast to coast, and garden centers offer pots of edible geraniums and lemon thyme. But once these herbs reach the kitchen, the inevitable question arises: Now what do I do with them? Here, at last, is the first truly comprehensive cookbook to cover all aspects of growing, handling, and cooking with fresh herbs.Jerry Traunfeld grew up cooking and gardening in Maryland, but it wasn’t until the 1980s, after he had graduated from the California Culinary Academy and was working at Jeremiah Tower’s Stars restaurant in San Francisco, that he began testing the amazing potential of herb cuisine. For the past decade, Jerry Traunfeld has been chef at The Herbfarm, an enchanted restaurant surrounded by kitchen gardens and tucked into the rainy foothills of the Cascade Mountains, east of Seattle. His brilliant nine-course herb-inspired menus have made reservations at the Herbfarm among the most coveted in the country.Eager to reveal his magic to home cooks, Jerry Traunfeld shares 200 of his best recipes in The Herbfarm Cookbook.
