We decided to make an Indian Feast for our Christmas dinner this year.  This could very well turn out to be a tradition…  It was both delicious and enticing and warming like Christmas dinner should be – but it was also, dare I say, healthy.  It’s funny how “healthy” in our culture has come to suggest something mediocre to unappealing in the taste department – something you virtuously eat because it’s good for you.  Indian food, prepared using whole foods, flies in the face of that myth because it’s a treat to the palate and it’s kind to your body. Indian spices sauteeing are poetry.  It’s easy to cook intuitively with these spices.  I don’t like Coriander so I don’t add as much.  I like Cumin Seeds so I add more.  We’re light on Cinnamon Bark around here.  So I roughly follow a recipe but I also make it up as I go along…yet it always comes out just right!  I used organic, unrefined peanut oil instead of ghee.

One of the things we look at in Chinese Dietary Therapy is, what are the effects of particular cooking styles on the “energetic” quality of the food; here energy refers to the warming characteristics of the dish. Whereas steaming and quick boiling are mild, and introduce the least amount of heat energy by cooking, and therefore are excellent for spring and summer vegetables and for folk with heat disorders like eczema, baking is a nice way to bring heat energy deep into the foodstuffs, and is excellent for people who are cold and weak, cold and damp, or for most of us in the cold seasons.

I was sad to hear the news that vegan restaurant La Victoire Suprême du Cœur has ceased to be and has been replaced by the new, omnivorous “ Le Passage Obligé .” The arrival of a vegetarian restaurant just two doors down from our apartment on Rue du Bourg-Tibourg always seemed like a bit of a miracle, and even more so when they went vegan. The Sunday brunch followed by a bike ride down the Seine became a family tradition for us. But sadly, it seems that the restaurant couldn’t go on without us and just a couple of months after we left they have transformed into the Foie Gras-friendly “Le Passage Obligé” There is one bright side: the new restaurant is run by the same “équipe,” who were always fairly well informed about what ‘vegan’ means, and the menu is clearly labelled with several vegetarian and vegan options.

From a recent article in the NY Times, by Nicholas Kristoff, about the Synthethic Estrogens from plastic that are found in 92% of American Bodies (one wonders what the other 8% are doing to avoid them?), and about the probable effects they have on the Endocrince System—the all-important glands in the body that tell everything else what to do. This is why I drink my filtered water out of Glass, Not Plastic

If you’ve eaten fresh cacao beans or nibs then you know most chocolate bars you get at the store have been stepped on to a degree that almost completely disguises what chocolate really is. Amazingly the taste of this new chocolate bar from TJoes is close to uncut cacao. It has enough sugar (don’t worry) but not very much sugar at all
