Old Fashion Broccoli Swiss Soup
Personally, I love soups! To me there is no better lunch or dinner than a good hot bowl of soup. I don’t care if it’s Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter, I enjoy a good bowl of soup.

If you, too, enjoy a good bowl of soup, try this recipe. Pair it with a salad, some whole-wheat crackers or a crusty whole-grain bread for a delicious meal!
SWISS BROCCOLI SOUP
This recipe was on an old yellowed newspaper clipping in a box of recipes from my late mother’s estate. I have no idea what newspaper it came from.

Winter Soups for the Soul
There is nothing better than a pot of simmering soup making use of the hearty and imaginative root vegetables, dark, leafy greens, hard-shelled winter squashes, meats and grains to nourish the body and warm the soul. A few simple guidelines for preparing soups can help you use those wonderful winter selections to offer a maximum of nutrition and flavor with a minimum of effort.
Clear Stocks and Broths
The secret to wonderful soup is starting with a wonderful broth or stock. The major difference between the two is that broths are intended to be served as is while stocks are also used for things such as braises and sauces. They both make great use of flavorful winter trimmings, leftovers, starch and vegetables. Meat and poultry broths tend to have a richer flavor than stocks because the meat (rather than the bones) is simmered to create the base, and then can be incorporated into the soup. Stock bones are generally just discarded. However, broths lack the body of stocks because of an absence of gelatin from the bones. No matter what route you choose, a rich, flavorful base must be provided for any type of soup to be scrumptious.
Uniquely Antique Restaurant
Many might miss the calling of Antique Restaurant due to its relatively secluded location, as well as the lack of a noticeable sign board, but the sounds coming from the satisfied crowd would be enough to make you stop, look and eat. Antique Restaurant is located on the quieter side of Seminyak and it offers a wide variety of Fusion cuisine.
The name does not in any way reflect the concept of the restaurant. It doesn’t serve food from the medieval and it doesn’t possess antique furniture. The word ‘antique’ shouldn’t be taken for its literal meaning, but rather a symbol of uniqueness. The interior is a sophisticated mix of contemporary and traditional art, all of which are created by the owner of the restaurant himself, Joshua Purnomo. Decorations made out of junk metal resembling trees and animals can be found from ground to ceiling. Despite using materials that others deem as junk, the end result is tasteful and appealing to the eye. The chill-out music in the background completes the entire urban feel to this unique restaurant.

Azabu Sabo: Delectable Japanese Sweets Eats & Tea
Making quite a buzz since its opening in Marina Square in the month of June 2006, this Japanese restaurant has grown from strength to strength. Azabu Sabo is part of a successful chain of Japanese Restaurants that has its origins from the funky street of Azabu in Shinjuku district, where its flagship outlet was opened, and has since expanded to 59 outlets in Japan , Hong Kong , Taiwan and finally Singapore .

That means that local diners here will be able to share the same culinary experience as those dining in Japan , Hong Kong or Taiwan .

The energy of Azabu Sabo is loud without being overwhelming, which has attracted a rather youthful crowd of Singaporeans, particularly favoured by the women, to being regular patrons of this teahouse.
4 Ways To Lighten Your Daily Diet
With an influx of the latest about health and nutrition, we are challenged to find ways to maintain the meals we serve “light” without sacrificing flavor. With a myriad of advice from nutrition experts, it is no wonder confusion and frustration sets in. Is it low-carb, low fat, or low-calorie that is the perfect solution? With food allergies and the shapes and sizes of bodies as diverse as the selections of squash, one regiment may be more useful for one person than the other. However, for the person free of any limitations, moderation of all kinds is probably the solution we are all looking for. This definitely is a judgment that needs to be individual and / or familial. Whichever you choose, nutrition, taste and character are THE most important elements in your home cooking.
Do not be bamboozled by the notion that by incorporating chemically altered ingredients is more healthful than a controlled amount of fat, sugar, calories and carbohydrates. More of those artificial ingredients are needed to attain the great flavor of “real” food.
By limiting the intake of challenging foods, selecting only those that are the highest of quality, substituting the culprits with more suitable selections and incorporating lower fat cooking techniques, families can place themselves for a “lighter” lifestyle.

Multi Bird Roast – not Just a Chicken Roast!
Here is my recipe for what I consider one of the best Christmas dinners we have ever had. Of course you don’t have to do this just at Christmas, it tastes just as good any time of the year.
I thought this Christmas I would attempt one of the multi bird roasts that were apparently popular in medieval times. Now in the old days they would have used anything up to ten birds.
It would start with a turkey or a goose, which would be deboned and opened out. A layer of force meat stuffing would be smeared liberally around the inside. Another smaller bird deboned and opened out would be put inside this. This process would be continued with up to ten birds all decreasing slightly in size.
When as many birds as possible have been fitted into the original bird, it would be pulled back into shape and sewn together. The delight at slicing one of these apart and seeing the many different meats must have been amazing.
