Health Benefits of Cooking at Home Vs Eating Out
There remains an intense debate among lovers of food over whether dining out or cooking at home leads to better meals. But better is a loaded statement. Better can mean better tasting. Better can mean more satisfying.

Food Services You Need to Try
Even if you're a huge fan of cooking, enjoying good meals in this fast-paced world isn't always easy. There are times where planning out family meals can become too hectic or filled with too many options. Sometimes, it's too hard to actually squeeze in time to run to the grocery story and do all the planning. Other times, trying to order lunch at the office turns difficult because you simply don't know what restaurants are around you.

What Do Cocoa Percentages Tell Us?
As a chocolatier and chocolate expert I get asked a lot about working with chocolate, especially chocolate with a high cocoa percentage. Once upon a time chocolate bars didn’t mention the percentage, but now most chocolate bar labels, recipes and even many restaurant menus proudly declare the amount of cocoa present, be it 55% milk chocolate, 70%, 85%, or more. What does all of this mean, and how does the amount of cocoa used vary between white milk, dark chocolate, and all of those other types?

Benefits of Bone Broth
Unfortunately in the growing world of superfruits and dietary supplements, the health benefits of bone broth have become lost in the mix. Bone broth is a nutritional staple in many cultures that has been used medicinally for centuries. It is very similar to stock and to broth. Broth is made by simmering meat for about an hour, and creates a very thin, protein filled liquid. Stock is created by cooking roasted bones for about 3 or 4 hours. Bone broth however, is produced by simmering bones for 24-48 hours with the intention of releasing trace amounts of minerals stored deep within the bones.

Health Benefits of Walnuts and Almonds
Everyone knows that eating healthy is instrumental to fostering a healthy lifestyle--and nuts like walnuts and almonds tend to be among the healthiest foods one can consume. Of course, health wise, there are numerous important foods to consume, but it is important to get a healthy amount of nuts in the system.

Strawberry, Mint and Flax Seed Smoothie
“One must ask children and birds how cherries and berries taste” Strawberries are very flexible and can be used in any dessert because of their taste, texture and most importantly their colour, which is one on the most attractive amongst all the available fruits. Here is my first recipe of a smoothie using strawberries this winter. It's a simple combo of strawberry, mint and yogurt with a dash of flax seed to give it a crunch and increase the protein content, thus making it a healthy drink. Best part about this dish is that it requires ingredients that are readily available in the market and require minimum time for preparation. A perfect combo of flavour along with this perks is something which you wouldn’t like to miss. So without wasting more time I will take you through the simple steps closer to the heaven.

Ultimate Rules for an Anti-Inflammatory Diet
An anti-inflammatory diet is crucial for your long-term health. Now first and foremost, inflammation can be a good thing. What? That’s right. Inflammation is a good thing. At first. When you stub your toe, the inflammation you feel is your white blood cells gathering together and fighting off damaged tissue. If you have a nasty cough and your chest feels inflamed, it’s because your white blood cells are kicking out the viruses.

Yogurt for breakfast, soup and an apple juice for lunch, and a glass of milk after supper?

Check out the list below for some of the most common yet dangerous food ingredients in our everyday foods.

How Do We Avoid Malnutrition?
Hordes of nutrition surveys over the last few decades have only confirmed what most individuals instinctively know; the quintessential 'balanced American diet' is anything but. In generations past, a typical American family naturally obtained all the required nutrients just by virtue of eating a proper meal three times a day. But now, we're busier, and seem to value convenience over eating healthfully. Processed foods have often been stripped of nutrients since it can last longer or tastes better this way. The most important tool to understand why America is suffering from malnutrition is to first be aware of what your body can and can't do on its own.
