South Beach Wine And Food Festival Wrap Up
Miami Beach, FL (AHN) - The annual South Beach Wine and Food Festival hosted by the Food Network closed its tents and served its last dish on Sunday. However, as a first-time participant to the event, I'm already looking forward to next year's recipes. The four-day festival can credit bringing together the biggest names in the food industry and some of the most discerning palates. From meeting celebrity chefs to sampling dishes from world-renowned restaurants, visitors had a smorgasbord of activities centering around food and libations to satisfy even the pickiest connoisseurs. Widely known chefs such as Bobby Flay, Nigella Lawson, David Chang and Norman Van Aken were on hand at the festival and inside the Publix Kitchen to lend expertise and samples of their dishes during seminars and book signings.

Dog food doesn't taste that bad
With three days left in RRSP season, we're going to take a different tack. For weeks we've hammered away at the multiple reasons why 95% of the working population should make RRSP contributions. To recap, you get an up-front tax deduction, tax-sheltered growth of your investments and a way to create a down payment on a home or to build up a fund to return to school. For those whose incomes vary widely from year to year, RRSPs can be an income and tax-averaging vehicle and provide an emergency cash cushion if work dries up altogether. We even devoted a column to appeal to those in the underground economy, describing RRSPs as "a Swiss bank account with a kickback." .
So why does Charles think McDonald's is the root of all food evil?
HE HAS lambasted architects for their designs and criticised governments over their policies on the environment. But the Prince of Wales yesterday declared war on a new and even more powerful enemy - the global superbrand McDonald's. The heir to the throne said banning the fast-food chain was the key to a healthier lifestyle for children. But has the campaigning royal got it wrong by targeting a High Street restaurant which serves two million Britons every day, despite almost a decade of bad publicity over the effects of its food on its most enthusiastic consumers: children. And if so, how did the brand-name become so synonymous with poor quality and malnutrition that a future head of state should feel able to single it out for public denunciation? .
Cookbook Illustrates A Healthy Way To Go Low Carb
By now, all of us have heard of lowering the simple carbohydrate count in our daily diet; and experts have endorsed it on talk shows and in books. It remains poorly understood, though: Ive heard people claim that butters not fattening because it has no carbs; or that they cant eat vegetables because theyre mostly carbohydrates; or that a diet of Big Macs is okay so long as you throw away the bun.
Veteran cookbook author Brigit Binns wrote The Low-Carb Gourmet to clear up some of these misunderstandings as well as to provide some classic, well-thought-out recipes for those wanting to make the most of vegetables, lean meat and healthy fats. This is a balance that isnt hard once you understand it, but is likely to be misrepresented by the commercial food industry and misunderstood by people trying earnestly to improve their health and stave off weight gain.
Healthy Comfort Foods
(WCCO) You know what happens. The temperature drops, it snows and we end up running to the grocery store. When it gets really cold outside, many of us search for foods to keep us warm and happy. But here's something to consider: are we really comforting ourselves or little by little setting ourselves up for health problems? That is the question we took to a dietitian for Park Nicollet Health Services. Susan Deno works with heart patients at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park who have to learn how to eat healthier. She actually teaches them how to cook in this special kitchen at the hospital, and has helped write a cookbook titled "More Flavor, Less Fat."Put simply, she said when we pack on the extra pounds, we force our heart to work harder.In the wintertime, she said soups are a great way to warm up and fill up.
