Newsletter for the month of May and June
My dear visitors,
It is always a pleasure for me to write something
out of my test kitchen, and I was wondering what should be the subject
for my newsletter.
Summer is around the corner and the barbeque season begins. Germans are
not good in cooking on the barbeque, well maybe some of them, but it is
not a common way of preparing food. First of all because the weather is
not as friendly as it is here and second of all because not all Germans
do live in a house with outside facilities. So I cannot offer you a
barbeque recipe today, but I will provide you with a delicious fruit
sorbet recipe that you will like. To top it all, I will show you a way
to get rid of the pounds on your hips (pardon me!), you will be
delighted.
Let us start with the ice cream……you think of milk, cream and so
on….NO! We call it Sorbet and make it from frozen fruits.
You will need: 8 oz of frozen fruits and some icing sugar
Now put the frozen fruits into your blender, some of the icing sugar on
top of it, and off we go. You will see when to stop with the sugar,
especially if you want to go on with a diet.
Here it comes:
The Dr. Hay Diet is a diet in which you divide protein and
carbohydrates.
In the morning you eat only fruits, whichever and as much as you like
(no bananas). At 12’o clock your body household is ready for proteins
and you will eat them with a salad! No bread, no flower, only a steak,
fish, maybe some chicken. 75% of what you eat will be fresh, like
salads, fruits, vegetables. At 6 pm your household is ready for
carbohydrates and you can eat something with flower like noodles,
bread, but never with meat of sausage! If you like to eat something in
between, here is what you do:
Everything needs about 3-4hrs. to digest, proteins and fruits are
compatible, that is why you can eat a fruit between the meals, fruits
only need 30 min to digest. I can loose easily with this diet, if I
only get the drive!
Please remember: at least ½ to 1 gallon of water a day is a must if
dieting better more. Let me know how you get along, and if you like to
learn more about it look up the internet under Dr. Howard Hay’s Diet.
Write me if you need recipes.
Have a good time in your kitchen and see you in some of my classes.
In June I shall teach you at Thanksgiving Point how to prepare a real
medieval menu.
Come and have fun with me.
Yours truly
Your German Chef
