2010-08-20 Al-Ahram Weekly Living A Ramadan to remember

Eating sweets immediately after Iftar will increase the size of your stomach and cause a delay in digestion. It will also cause a fluctuation in the blood glucose level, which will lead to you craving for more sweets. Thats why it is recommended to have sweets in moderation 2-3 hours after Iftar.

It is recommended that everyone engage in some kind of light exercise, such as stretching or walking. "Overweight people should increase the amount of exercise and reduce the amount of food intake to help reduce weight," he adds. Exercise can also help build stronger muscles and bone, and it can help one to feel and look better.

2010-08-19 Edible Souvenirs Need to Travel by Hand

Although Internet buying makes sense - why haul a treat through Customs if a computer click brings the same result - plenty of purists favor lugging over logic. For them, a treat bought at its source and carried home by their own (or a loved one and rsquo;s) hands is somehow more genuine, more delicious, more earned, than one secured in an easy, remote transaction on the Web. This is particularly true now, with the height of summer travel upon us. Food souvenirs are food, but they and rsquo;re also souvenirs, and as such are evocative of people and places.

On obesity in the developed world. The authors tried to estimate how much weight gain was due to eating more vs. exercising less, and found that the bulk of our increasing bulk can be explained by higher-calorie diets. And diets, in turn, are largely a function of the economics of food: when fats and sweets are cheap, we eat more of them. Low prices are a powerful inducement for poor eating.

A group of researchers at the UWs Center for Public Health Nutrition tracked the cost of roughly 380 food items over the course of four years. The price of healthy foodproduce and whole grains, among other thingsrapidly outpaced the price of items like soda and jelly beans.

2010-08-08 So you wanna be a Test Kitchen intern. Meet Joe Moon Daily Dish Los Angeles Times

In addition to our full-time staff, we host interns from culinary schools all over the United States, including international students. These students receive hands-on training as they learn the finer points of recipe testing and development (recipe reading, wording, problem solving, adapting for the home kitchen and testing for consistent results). The students also learn tips for food styling and interact with chefs, writers and food professionals of all kinds.

My internship falls in the middle of my schooling, and Im now here at the L. A. Times Test Kitchen. In the kitchen, Ive found Im both using and enriching my education and experiences as I tackle the various recipes we test for the Food section. 3 Recipe testing is something I had never done before, and while Im still in a kitchen, the Test Kitchen is also a classroom for me. 3 I learn something new every day, often creating many dishes I may have never seen, and using techniques that are totally new to me.

2010-07-25 Experience the Sweet Life: Savor Los Angeles is th - LAist

Savor Los Angeles: We started talking about forming a group called Parallel Lines years ago. Though we didnt necessarily intend to launch with a dessert-based food event, we knew we wanted to create a platform for adventures and bring people together. One thing we found we all really really enjoy is food so planning started for a food-focused concept, and what better way to start than with dessert.

CoachArt is involved based on our interest in fostering creativity. This ties in to our event in that if we choose alternatives to conventional offerings and get creative in the foods we make perhaps our children will follow. Were by no means saints ourselves, but to answer your question: to be a good example for our kids in the choices we make and continue to support organizations that make it easy (and yummy. ) to make good food choices.
