    Feng-Shui cuisine

    Feng-Shui cuisine

    It must be assumed that any food prepared in a kitchen will be invested with the energy that prevails, so always make sure that your food room is always clean. Get rid of all your outdated products lying in the bottom of your closets or your fridge because the freshness of the dishes they contain will be an important vector for the health of your home. Another important point is that the sink and your cooking plates must not cohabit next to each other because the energies of water and fire are very opposite and can create disharmony in your home: you can always arrange a separation with wood (e.g. utensils) or a green plant. Also avoid leaving sharp material because Feng-Shui is not very customer of all these forms angular or sharp. On the other hand, if the worktop is facing the door, turning the back on visitors does not propagate a climate of invitation, so you can place a mirror to cancel this effect or a sparkling casserole. Finally, a good light is a sign of good health and good mood, so be sure to make it clear and relaxing. Written by David

    Cooking and Singles

    Cooking and singlehood make for an intriguing combination that reveals a multitude of aspects, combining creativity, time management, and self-discovery. For those who live alone, cooking is much more than a necessity; it's a solitary culinary adventure.

    Zen through fish

    Zen through fish

    A study published recently has shown that consuming more fish and nuts, rich in omega 3, would make it less aggressive. The French researcher who coordinated the study in question argues for these polyunsaturated acids that allow the brain to function much more fluidly. Dieticians and doctors believe that the population is generally deficient in omega-3 and consumes far too much omega-6, present in processed fatty products. Without going as far as to do intense cures of food supplements, specialists remind us that we must include in our consumption habits fish, nuts and canola oil or nuts. This is what was on the menu of study participants taking omega-3 capsules. Results followed that confirmed a significant decrease in their aggression, compared to another placebo group.

    Kitchen mistakes not to repeat

    Kitchen mistakes not to repeat

    If you have to simmer a piece of beef for at least two hours, avoid raising the cooking temperature in order to go faster: your meat will become harsh and your sauce will look like an indigestible bizarre syrup, so be careful! For those who rinse their pasta under cold water after cooking, you greatly reduce the flavor of yours, especially if you had prepared in a vegetable broth: once your pasta is cooked, drain the cooking water and do not touch anything (today the pasta making mode makes them unbeatable for the most part). Never season a salad too soon: prepare your dressing while lettuce leaves are rinsed and wrung out; avoid mixing before serving otherwise your leaves will soften and your composition will not be very appetizing...
