Pork braised in caramel sauce

Fish fried in spices. Ingredient proportions may vary as I normally fry a whole, medium fish.

Japanese style appertiser, prawns in soya sauce and ginger. Serve in cocktail glasses.

Serve it with pieces of pumpernickel bread, or in a bread bowl made from a round pumpernickel loaf. Very easy and tasty!"
Original recipe yield: 2.5 cups

“This salad dressing is nothing like your basic vinaigrette formula – but you’ll soon want to use it nearly every day. The classic vinaigrette is made with 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. As you can see, this version has no oil in it at all, making it extremely low in calories. But don’t worry – it’s very high in flavor. Once you’ve tried this I’m sure it’ll become your basic everyday staple for salad. And you can never eat too much salad!”

“Among the most inexpensive of foods, dried beans offer a bounty of fiber, iron, protein, folic acid and B vitamins. Black beans, also known as “turtle beans,” are an especially tasty variety, and make a lovely soup. Do not salt dried beans until they are cooked, as the salt slows down the softening process. On another note, so-called “cooking” wines or sherries contain lots of added salt. Do your palate and your body a favor and use a drinkable sherry in this recipe."
