cooking tips
1. Turkey is a great bird to make stock with. For a perfect stock, use turkey wings and drumsticks, and reserve other parts for the second course. Rinse bony turkey parts in cold water, place in a large stainless steel stockpot with filtered water, add 2 tbsp vinegar, and let stand for about 30 min. (Vinegar is added so that to draw beneficial minerals from the bones into the stock.) Add to the pot coarsely chopped root vegetables, such as onions and carrots. Bring to boil, remove scum that rises on top (use a slotted spoon for that), add a pinch of sea salt, reduce heat to a minimum, and let simmer for 6 to 24 hours.
1. Today, the art of making healthy soups is completely neglected in the United States. We seem to prefer ready canned concoctions with few natural ingredients to taking time and efforts of preparing a healthy and satisfying bowl of homemade soup. However, in every great cuisine of the world - French, Russian, Italian, etc., natural soups form an integral part of culinary art.
One of the true blessings of our modern age is the all-year round availability of fresh vegetables and fruit on the shelves of supermarkets. Using them in salads is a fast and easy way to boost your health, supply your diet with vitamins and antioxidants, and ensure that your waist always stays lean.
