The so called "secret recipes" of these billion dollar restaurants have now been exposed and shared with the world in the cooking instructional guide "America's Secret Recipes.".... For details, go to: "America's Secret Recipes"
I was just speaking to my friend, chef Nicholas Zhou, about healthy eating the other day and I was amazed at what he told me...
He has been conducting research day and night finding a way to healthy eating all year... Would you believe they have read more than 34,000 pages from over 80 books on healthy eating since 2000!
But despite all the late nights and long hours, he said it was more than worth it because he learned a TON from all those books and articles he read.
That's why his cookbook "Real and Healthy Chinese Cooking" has become the #1 and most downloaded cookbook about healthy eating on the Internet and he gets over 123,100 visitors to his web sites each month! (Yes, I said each month!). His free recipe and cooking tips newsletter has over 12,500 subscribers worldwide.
Over 500+ low carb, low fat, real Chinese recipes in 15 categories that are proven to be healthy.
A master chef's (Nicholas Zhou's aunt) 40 years of cooking practice that has made her the most well known chef in town.
Nicholas's fifteen years of cooking experience and four years of research on healthy and balanced eating.
Over 100+ secret recipes that your favorite Chinese restaurants don't want you to know.
Professional chefs' "killer" cooking tips and techniques including choosing ingredients, food preparation, cutting, frying, steaming, and more.

Over 170+ colorful pictures of famous Chinese dishes.
Quick and easy meal plans that only require 15 to 45 minutes.
Amazing party recipes in 50 minutes for more than 10 people.
... and this is just the tip of the iceberg!
To make sure you understand the enormous value of this, I should tell you that it took Nicholas Zhou's team two full years to actually cook all the over 500+ Chinese dishes, take photos, write down the cooking instructions!
I know this great book is going to make my daily eating a lot tastier and healthier and I want to make sure you experience the same rewards, so go to... "Real and Healthy Chinese Cooking"
All the best...

P.S. And in typical Nicholas Zhou's style, he has been generous enough to let you try his recipes risk-free for 90 days. If for some reason you DON'T like eating healthy food then you DO NOT PAY!
Homemade wine making is fast becoming very popular throughout the world.
There are a number of reasons for this. The biggest one is that the cost to transport that yummy nectar from where they are grown, harvested, and fermented is going up a long with the price of fuel. There is no ways around it - we are about to see bottles of wine at the grocery store and wine shops double.
In the past year, there has been a flurry of "How To" guides pop up around the internet. All of the guides are helpful and at least can get a beginner started.
The truth is, you can make high quality and award winning wine, at home, in a 5 gallon food bucket.
Some preparation and materials are required. You have to at least have a hydrometer. You must have at least the 5 gallon bucket. AND - you need some sort of nearly air tight secondary fermentation vessel. In the industry we call this a "carbouy".
There are very cheap airlocks and some plastic tubing to round out the equipment.
Some chemicals may be needed as well. Yeast is an obvious first one (not really a chemical but a dormant microbe). Citric acid, potassium sorbate, metabisulfate, campden tablets, pectin enzyme and a few others are very common.
The greatest secret in home wine making is: get the best stuff to start with.
There are actually vineyards that will sell small quantities of grapes or even crushed grapes and juices, fresh from the vineyard. Although these are hard to locate, they do exist. I have found at least one wine making guide that lists these sources.
Aside from the money savings (you can make wine for about 25 cents a bottle), there is the real enjoyment of making something that you can drink! If your batch comes out really good, you will be calling all your neighbors and friends to come and give it a try.
Cheers and happy wine making!....."How to Make Your Own Wine"

Leading health experts agree that going vegetarian is the single best thing we can do for ourselves and our families. A meat-free diet rich in complex carbohydrates, protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals provides optimal nutrition for both children and adults, forming the foundation for dietary habits that support a lifetime of good health. Leading medical organizations, including the American Dietetic Association, agree that balanced plant-based diets are healthy. Vegetarian foods provide us with all the nutrients we need, minus the saturated fat, cholesterol, and contaminants found in meat and dairy products.
A plant-based diet has long-term benefits, too. It protects us against some of the leading killers in modern society. Research has shown that vegetarians are 50 percent less likely to develop heart disease, and they have 40 percent of the cancer rate of meat-eaters Plus, meat-eaters are nine times more likely to be obese than vegans are.
The consumption of meat and dairy products has been conclusively linked with heart disease, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, asthma, and impotence. Scientists have also found that vegetarians have stronger immune systems than their meat-eating friends; this means that they are less susceptible to everyday illnesses like the flu. Vegetarians and vegans live, on average, six to 10 years longer than meat-eaters.
A plant-based diet is the best diet for kids, too: Studies have shown that vegetarian kids grow taller and have higher IQs than their classmates, and they are at a reduced risk for heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other diseases in the long run. Studies have shown that even older people who switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet can prevent and even reverse many chronic ailments.
It's never too late to turn over a new leaf—you can take control of your health today by going vegetarian.

Pizza is a universal food. Originally confined to Italian neighborhoods, pizza has now become mainstream. Travel anywhere in the world and you will be able to find some type of pizza.
As noted bread baker Peter Reinhart explained to me: “Pizza is the perfect flavor delivery system.” Pizza is the ultimate comfort food. With a little practice, you can easily make your own delicious home made pizza.
Here are four reasons why you should make your own pizza.
1) Making pizza is easy. With the basic tools found in any kitchen, you will be able to make pizza dough. All pizza dough follows the same basic pattern. Mix flour with yeast, water and salt. Some pizza dough recipes call for oil, however this may be omitted. (I use olive oil in my recipe, but this is a matter of preference.) There are many wonderful pizza dough recipes available to you. You need to find one that you like and will satisfy your own taste.
2) Making pizza is healthy. Since you are making your own pizza, you have total control over the ingredients used. I encourage you to use the freshest ingredients available. The old standards, pepperoni, sausage, tomato sauce, and various cheeses make excellent toppings for pizza. There are many vegetables that can be used for pizza as well including fresh garlic, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, onions, mushrooms and zucchini. Fresh seafood such as shrimp and clams can also compliment your pizza. Experiment. You will create new taste sensations. You are only limited to your imagination when deciding what to put on your pizza.
3) You will save lots of money. You will be amazed at how economical it is to make your own pizza. The actual price of putting together a quality pizza at home is much cheaper than buying pizza at a pizzeria. One way to save money is by purchasing ingredients on sale. You can multiply your savings by obtaining items in bulk at a food discount warehouse. For example some items like mozzarella cheese can be purchased in bulk. Use what you need, and freeze the rest to be used the next time you make pizza. The savings of buying your pizza ingredients in bulk is substantial.
4) Making pizza is fun. Pizza can be a wonderful group activity. When you make pizza, you can get everyone around you involved in some part of the process. Pizza is also an enjoyable family activity. All kids love making pizza. Pizza is a fun activity which can be enjoyed not only by families but by singles as well. When you make pizza, you make magic happen.
Still not convinced you can make your own pizza? Here are some steps you can take to painlessly, create your own pizza. Start with a frozen pizza shell purchased at a supermarket. This is a good way to begin to learn how to make your own pizza. You are in complete control of what toppings you will use. The next step is to purchase fresh pizza dough from a bakery or pizzeria. This will give you good experience in working with dough and shaping your pizza. Making pizza like this will allow you invaluable experience.
Finally, you can try making your own dough from scratch. Making dough may seem difficult at first, but will get easier and easier over time. You can find a link box to get a free copy of my pizza dough at the end of this article.
Without much effort, you will be making healthy pizza, saving money and having a lot of fun. The hardest part of making pizza is the clean-up.

Remember when classroom bulletin boards displayed the food pyramid. THE pyramid – there was only one. One size fit all. Everyone needed to subscribe to the same nutritional guidelines. Everyone was told to merely glance at the pyramid to figure out how many servings were needed each day.
Almost all would agree that it is a good thing that obsolete food pyramid has gone by the wayside! It may have taken a while, but the idea that not all people require the same food intake finally caught on. Nor are children expected to follow the same nutritional guidelines as the adults.
If you're hoping we'll show you the "kid's guidelines" there unfortunately isn't a predetermined guideline. The amount of food from each food group that each person needs to eat to maintain a healthy lifestyle is dependent on their age, sex and physical activity level. One size doesn’t fit all. You can go to http://mypyramid.gov/ to type in some search criteria to get an idea of how much from each food category to eat every day.
Remember balance is the name of the game. Make sure your little ones are eating fruits and vegetables, dairy, meats and beans and grains every day. Then round it off with water, fresh air and exercise. To help you get started, below you will find a couple of nutritious meals for children.
This turkey avocado sandwich wrap uses kid-friendly ingredients for a nutritious lunch or treat.
INGREDIENTS: • Whole wheat tortillas • 1 avocado mashed • Sliced deli turkey • Shredded carrots • Shredded lettuce • Shredded Monterey jack cheese
PREPARATION: Assemble wraps in the following order: Spread mashed avocado on tortilla; Sprinkle shredded carrots and lettuce on avocado; Lay on slices of deli turkey; Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
In addition, you won't get any looks of disappointment if you inform the children you're making chicken nuggets for supper. This kid favorite is just as good in the low-fat, oven-baked version. For quick clean-up and extra crispiness, lay a sheet of foil on a cookie sheet; and, then place a wire rack on top of the foil.
INGREDIENTS: • skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut in 1-2 inch squares • non-fat or low-fat buttermilk • flour for dredging • finely crushed corn flakes for dredging • salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION: Preheat oven to 375. Prepare three large bowls for dredging chicken - 1 with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, 1 with buttermilk, and 1 with crushed corn flakes. Prepare baking pan by laying a sheet of foil over a cookie sheet; and then place a wire rack on top of the foil. Season chicken with salt and cut into 1-2 inch pieces.
Drag chicken pieces in flour. Shake off excess flour and coat with buttermilk. Next, generously coat chicken with corn flakes, and place on rack of your baking pan. Bake nuggets for 15 minutes. These keep well for the next day's lunch box so make plenty!
The next time you reach into the pantry or freezer to grab something simple to prepare for dinner, take a good analytical look at the ingredients. The idea is not to serve food that is adequate but rather food that is nutritious. Remember that not all of your little ones may require the same servings of food.
