A friend of mine once told me there is more to the culinary life than chile peppers. He might be right, but he keeps telling me this over my diner table, so go figure. The habanero chile (Capsicum chinense Jacquin) is the most intensely spicy chile pepper of the Capsicum genus. Unripe habaneros are green, but the color at maturity varies. Common colors are orange and red, but white, brown, and pink are also seen. Most habaneros rate 200,000-300,000 Scoville heat units (SHU), with the Guinness Book of Records recognizing the Red Savinas variety, developed by GNS Spices of Southern California, as the 'World's Hottest Spice' at 580,000 SHU. For comparison, a Cayenne pepper is typically 30,000 to 50,000...

If you ask anybody that loves Mexican Food, they'll tell you, without any doubt, their favorite place for salsa. I know I have my favorite spots. Some like fancy restaurants and others like taco shops. I prefer taco shops. Here, in San Diego, you can find hundreds of Mexican Restaurants (if not thousands) and they all have different tasting salsa. The shady taco shops have this orange type salsa that is delicious. These taco shops with the orange type salsa tend to end in "to's"...like "Roberto's", "Alberto's" and there is even a "Albertacos", which seems to be a combination of "Alberto" and "Tacos" and their food is out of this world including their salsa. You can find Albertacos in Orange County...

Although barbequing is the typical way most of us cook outdoors, smoker cooking is gaining in popularity. Even though the smoked heat method takes considerably longer than your basic charcoal grill, cooks say that the distinctive taste of smoker cooking is well worth the wait. Smoker cooking is a form of cooking where the smoke from burning wood prepares your foods. Heated hard wood chips, such as mesquite, hickory and oak are placed in a smoker, which not only cook the food, but also add a unique flavor from each wood type. The typical wood smoker has a separate fire chamber, which allows the heat and smoke to pass through the food being prepared. In smoker cooking, food never comes in contact with...

This special recipe has taken the best of both worlds, by adding some Eastern ingredients to this Western recipe. By using chillies, oyster sauce and chicken stock, mixed with the traditional pie sauces, the result is a delicious and moist meat base with just a tad of kick from the chillies. For more or less of the ingredients, its entirely up to the individual, but I would use the following estimates to suit my tastebud.

Rosemary is one of my favourite herbs - its clean, spiky scent pervading my kitchen takes me to the South of France on a warm summer's day. It is the hardiest plant in my herb garden, surviving our driest summers and putting out new growth as soon as the winter rains begin. You can pick from it all year round and it has useful medicinal properties too. I love Roast Lamb with generous amounts of rosemary and garlic tucked underneath as it cooks or else I take Nigella Lawson's advice and mince the garlic and rosemary to a paste with some olive oil and tuck it into small incisions in the meat before cooking. After that the meat just cooks itself (as long as you remember to switch on the oven for it...

When you're creating your profile for an online dating site, you may be one of the many who throws in a few false facts to try to spruce up the appeal of your profile to the men or women you're targeting. There are some things you should also leave out if you want to make a good first impression. It doesn't mean you have to lie about who you are or what you believe, but sometimes it's best to present yourself with your best foot forward in the beginning. First, try not to sound like a bitter, soured person who is already burnt out on the opposite sex. If you had a bad experience with your boyfriend, don't sound like a man-basher in your profile. No men will want to take on someone who has that much...

Rice has always been the staple food in Filipino cuisine, but until recently, plain and fried were the only varieties we knew. It was only a few years ago that we started playing around with rice recipes such as java, garlic, chili, and Chinese. But what seems to be a hit among Filipinos is rice toppings, wherein meat and vegetable dishes are served on top of a box of rice. It's the same old Filipino food, but packed in a light, convenient way. You've probably seen them in malls, sidewalks, and school cafeterias. But although they come in handy on busy days, they're often overpriced, especially considering that you can do them yourself at home. That's right-you don't have to run to the mall whenever...

Candida starts to develop in the gut as a fungus, and at the same time creates its ideal environment inside the gut. Unfortunately, the environment in which Candida thrive means that the pH balance is acidic. This acidity inhibits the bodies' ability to absorb vitamins and minerals, and it limits enzyme production of digestive proteins. One of the side effects of limited enzymes leads to indigestion symptoms, wind or gas, a sense of the intestines being bloated or swollen, increased acid levels and sensitivities to certain types of food. As your body finds it difficult to digest certain foods, it is best to avoid them. Sugar feeds Candida and that includes the fructose a fruit sugar, so you should...

For centuries on end, herbalists in Tibet and Mongolia have recommended small red berries called 'Goji' as a remedy for those suffering from a variety of problems. In fact, the people of Tibet and Mongolia hold a two-week annual festival in honor of the goji berry. Many of them have nicknamed the goji berry "happy berry" because in common folklore "to eat goji in the morning will lead to smiles all day". But respect for the goji berry isn't confined to the foothills of Tibet and Mongolia. The goji berry has been used for hundreds of years as a tonic in Chinese medicine. During the Tang dynasty (A.D. 772-842), poet Liu Yuxi wrote a poem celebrating the nourishment of "body and spirit" brought about...

Most of us dont make sauces at home because werewell, were intimidated. It seems so complicated and time consuming to mix all that stuff and season it and boil it and get it just right. And we dont know how. We go to a fancy restaurant, and the sauces are so delicate and beautiful, and they are in French, and we know we could never make something like that. Oh, yes, its fear and our lack of knowledge that keeps us from enjoying sauces on our home-cooked food. It really isnt as difficult as you think to make sauces, though. Once you know about the different kinds of sauces and master a few basic techniques, you can easily make sauces at home. You can even begin to invent your own sauces, based on...

I am one of those people who anticipate with glee the clear crisp autumn mornings. Give me gloomy gray clouds with a slight rainy mist moving over the blooms of spring and two things will immediately happen: the closet will resemble an end-of-summer department store clearance rack as the fall wardrobe takes over, and the stovetop will brim with comfort food. And of all the politically incorrect comfort dishes bursting from my flour-dusted and grease-stained mid-1950's edition Betty Crocker cookbook, my favorite fall cuisine would have to be soup. Soup (the creamier, the better!) transports me to my grade school days, wearing my little red jumper dress, where upon twisting the plastic cap on my...

Planning a dinner party? I love to have dinner parties. I really enjoy thinking about what I am going to serve and getting everything prepared. From the meal to having the table decorated just right. My fiance tells me to just order pizza. He thinks it's too much work. I however enjoy doing it, and I know in the end he loves the food that I have prepared and appreciates it just as much as our guests. I have put together one of my favorite menus that I enjoy cooking and most of all eating. It is a big hit. The first time I made this was about 17 years ago. I have since reunited with friends and you'll never guess, my fiance since then. In conversations with them they still remember the...
