I think the Irish are unlucky. Every St Patrick's Day I conjure up visions of eating corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Then I wonder "What wine goes with corned beef and cabbage?" The corned beef is too salty and doesn't work with any wine very well. Someone yells to me that beer is more in order. Maybe a wine from Ireland? The climate of Ireland isn't the best for growing grapes. There's only one wine that that comes from Ireland and it's made by Llewellyn's - a farmer in north county Dublin. His normal produce is apples and he makes a lot of apple juice for upscale independent retailers. His wine is more of a novelty item at best. What is interesting about Irish wine is the Irish connection with...

I don't know about you, but I love eating out at restaurants. The problem is that my budget doesn't always support it since even a simple meal out at a restaurant can cost an arm and a leg.

So here goes, this has been my closely guarded easy chicken recipe. I developed this method when I was in high school. Back then I was always on the go and was always involved in some kind of sport. My body craved the carbs, fat and protein, but sometimes my parents just did not cook up the most healthy foods. I LOVE chicken. Let me say that again, I LOVE chicken. So I had to come up with a low fat, easy way to cook up chicken. One where there was not much of a chance that I would burn the chicken, seal in the moisture and would have a juicy tasty meal. I got the idea one day after watching my mom steam some vegetables. So later that night I left for my part time job. I worked at a grocery...

One of the most exciting things you can learn at a cooking school is how to cook ethnic food. Ethnic food is a delicious treat, a break from the usual fare, and most people have at least one or two favorite ethnic cuisines. Unfortunately, ethnic restaurants can be expensive, especially if you would like to enjoy your favorite ethnic food more frequently. The solution is, of course, to learn how to make your own ethnic food. Buying an ethnic cookbook and diving right in is overwhelming for most people, however: Cookbooks do not always do a very good job of explaining how to prepare a dish, as well as what goes into it. A better approach is to take classes at a cooking school. You will learn to...

Healthy Salad Recipes are a work of art. The thing that I like about this artsy model of eating is that salads can be made with many different things in them, they can have or not have meat in them, they can be whipped up in no time, and generally speaking; they consist of healthy foods. The only time that a person may run into trouble is at Salad Bars. Many offer a wide variety of greens,fresh vegetables, fruits; certainly, consumer may create his own salad, BUT, the problem arises when the temptation of too many foods offered to eat; foods are often over-exposed to flies and other disease carrying pests; and there is a risk of food poisoning from salad items allowed to stand at room temperatures...

Growing up in the south, I was introduced to fried chicken at an early age.

It is said that cooking is an art. Like most art forms, a person can have some natural talent, but there's a whole lot of learning and experiencing that has to happen before they're any good at it. Cooking is no exception. First, children need to be exposed to good cooking, so they can appreciate the differences, then they need to be given the chance to try cooking themselves. They need to learn the basics, through your instruction or a kids' cooking class, and they need to practice, practice, practice. Making spaghetti one time won't do it; they need to make spaghetti several times. One reason is so they can remember how to do it and the other is so they can learn to add or take away from the...

Healthy Smoothie Recipes are great for a 'pick me up' after a run or a jog. But, it is most important you know what you are drinking in that smoothie. A lot of smoothies you buy are loaded with sugar which isn't going to your best choice.

Raw dog food recipes are the very best way for your dog to eat a natural diet. Dogs are born hunters. However they have obviously had their hunting needs taken away from them as they became domesticated, with owners placing bowls of food out everyday - there is no need for a dog to hunt for raw meat anymore.

Millions of us drive thru McDonald's for our own treats. If Carl's Jr. made dog treats, their business would go through the proverbial roof. All dogs seem to have the right corporate mentality for Carl's Jr., of "don't bother me - I'm eating!" We know that we should eat right. And we know that we should treat our dogs with something that is healthy. But...

A smoker is a great way for you to cook any type of food - whether it is meat or vegetables.

One of the big advantages a microwave has over a conventional oven is that it is so easy to keep clean, especially if you keep food covered when you cook it. But even the most careful of cooks will have a disaster from time to time, and there are always the casual users who 'forget' to put the lid on whatever it is they are re-heating. The resulting mess is all too often left for someone else to take care of. In a microwave, that's not such a problem. First of all, it's important not to use conventional cleaning agents in a microwave oven. Traces of them stuck to the sides can create operational problems as well as unpleasant flavors in the food you cook. Fortunately you don't need them. Keeping the...

Being raised in a Chinese family, Chinese food is very much a part of me. Chinese cooking uses various methods, such as stir-fry, deep-fry, simmer, boil, steam and so on, with no less than twenty ways. The most commonly used method is still stir fry or 'chao' in mandarin. Stir fry is not limited by any quantity and types of ingredients, anything can be mixed and stir fried in the same dish which creates for a good basis of "color". Finely cut ingredients are cooked under high heat for a short period of time. The taste seeps into the food quite easily, emanating wonderful aroma. Since stir fries are made usually very quickly, it prevents the loss of nutritional content from food. Tips on stir frying...

Some outdoor cooks prefer barbecue while others prefer the slower method of smoking. While both methods have their advantages, many swear by the distinct flavor advantages of smoker cooking. While cooking with heated smoke will take considerably longer than with straight heat, it is a more flavorful way of cooking. Typically, smoker cooking has an offset fire chamber, which provides a means of the heat and smoke from the burner to pass over and through the meat. The flame itself never comes into contact with the food and therefore will not burn it. Neither will the oils and juices that drip from the cooking meat ignite short bursts of flame that can cause flare ups and scorched food. The type of...

The diets of the nation continue to evolve and more and more people are invested in eating healthy, natural foods in order to achieve and maintain optimum health. There are many who, as a part of this natural whole food diet, decide to practice vegetarianism, cutting meat - and sometimes dairy products - from their diet. Because meat and meat products contain such a vast amount of protein, vegetarians must turn to other foods rich in protein that will give them the nutrients their bodies need. For many, the inclusion of tofu in their diet gives them the protein they need while making a nice substitute for meat in popular recipes. Luckily, there are a variety of easy tofu recipes available today to...
