News you can eat 24. Hello friends, a brief nutrition tip from our H & W agency Mediterranean Diet 21 According to statistics, carbs should provide 42-62 of the daily calorie intake for all age groups and gender. If we choose a diet of about  2,000-calories per day, the carb amount should be about 300 grams.  Many people hoping to achieve weight-loss take the number 300 and reduce it to an average between 50 and 150. We have been told by numerous sources that a low carb diet can help to lose weight. One of the simplest methods of reach the goal is to reduce the number of starches that are present in just about everything and substitute with lots of vegetables, healthy fats, and quality proteins, keeping in mind that a  measured red-meat intake is also very beneficial.

Sapere I Sapori un podcast in lingua Italiana promosso dalla Scuola di Cucina dello Chef Walter Potenza nel Rhode Island USA

Bentornati cari ascoltatori su Sapere I Sapori. In questo episodio parleremo del Culatello di Zibello. Tra i salumi pregiati, il Culatello di Zibello è sicuramente il Re. E un salume a denominazione di origine protetta, tipico della provincia di Parma. Viene citato esplicitamente per la prima volta in un documento del Comune di Parma del 1735, in cui venivano elencati i prezzi dei prodotti ottenuti dalla lavorazione del maiale.  Già allora fu evidente il prestigio di questo prodotto, il cui prezzo risultava infatti il più elevato dell'elenco. Il salume comparirà poi in numerosi altri atti, come nel “Calmiero della carne porcina salata”, in cui vengono citati i “culatelli investiti”, ovvero insaccati. I letterati del tempo classificarono il Culatello nella famiglia dei Salami per il fatto di non avere cotenna, ma essere insaccati in budelli di origine animale. Una curiosità importante cita che inizialmente questo salume era chiamato “investitura”, dal momento che la parola Culatello era considerata volgare. Solo nel documento del 1735 il termine fu impiegato ufficialmente.  Altre importanti citazioni riguardo il prestigio di questo salume si possono ritrovare nella letteratura dell' 800-'900, sia nelle opere del poeta parmigiano Giuseppe Callegari che nel carteggio nato tra lo scultore Renato Brozzi e il celebre poeta Gabriele D’Annunzio.

Suppose you live in Rhode Island or visit the Ocean State. In that case,  you are familiar with Calamari (Italian for squid, or loligo in fishery terms). When I started cooking about five decades ago, cleaning squid was a horrible job (and still is), usually forced upon the kitchen's newest hire. The fish was inexpensive to buy because of the amount of work needed to get it on the plate. Often considered the seafood underdog when compared with scrod, halibut, swordfish, and tuna. Mostly offered as an appetizer, although delicious in many other versions.  Today, Calamari appears in restaurants of any style. In the 70s, the dish never entered the fine dining kitchens, mostly reserved to pizzerie, diners, and some franchises.

Welcome back friends: this episode of F + K is about ground beef. American families consume a lot of ground beef in such amounts surpassing the rest of the industrialized nations.  From burgers to tacos to chilis and everything else we think of making,  ground meat is the actor. Technically ground beef is a product with at most 30% fat content from parts of the cow's body. Most of the ground beef available in stores have trimmings, leftover particles from sectioned meat products. When a supermarket pre-cut sirloins, the pieces around become ground. Trimmings have fat, and lots of it. Not all the trimmings are from the same animal, but a blend of the various specimen. Some packages will have ground chuck, ground steaks, rib-eye,  and so on.

Welcome back friends, this is Flavors and Knowledge I am Chef Walter. This episode is about stocks and broths. And so what is a stock? If you are French-trained, you’ll know that chefs put a lot of stock in their stocks. In the business of cooking, if you don’t have a grip on making an excellent stock, you won’t further your career. What is broth? Broths are cooking liquid mostly for soups and light sauces. I make broths by simmering meat in water, to extract flavors from the fat of the meat, enhanced by the additions of seasonings.

News you can eat 24 features "Puttanesca". Spaghetti alla puttanesca "or simply" aulive and cchiapparielle  "(olives and capers) is a typical first course of Neapolitan cuisine. The preparation includes a sauce made of tomato, olive oil, garlic, black  Gaeta olives, capers, and oregano. There is also a Roman version of the same dish that provides another fundamental ingredient: anchovies in salt. Another point of discord between the two interpretations is pasta:  spaghetti, vermicelli or linguine in Naples, and penne in Rome (in addition to the classic spaghetti). The first evidence of a pasta seasoned with a sauce very similar to Puttanesca,  dates back to the early nineteenth century, when writer Ippolito Cavalcanti, proposed several popular recipes in Neapolitan cuisine. One  of them was "Vermicelli all' oglio with olives, capers, and anchovies  sauces." The book Theoretical, practical cooking has been one of the essential books documenting ancient Italian cookery. After some sporadic appearances in various Neapolitan cookbooks, the Italian  Guide of Gastronomy published several specialties from the Campania region in 1931. Among the dishes, Macaroni alla marinara, most likely the current puttanesca. READ MORE HERE

For a while, I have been hearing about meal skipping. We seem to trust and try anything to confront weigh-loss, but often the reality proves otherwise. Let’s see If I can explain what happens when we follow this falsified myth. According to one of the most rooted and shared beliefs in weight loss, skipping meals is a beneficial technique for losing weight because of the common belief that by depriving the body of calories and nutrients, you can achieve a reduction in fat mass. For breakfast, a coffee and go, a seasoned salad for lunch, eating only for dinner, etc.: all these behaviors reduce the calories ingested, lose weight, but often it is just water and lean mass, not fat. However, the weight loss does not last long because the metabolism adapts to the caloric constraints implemented and reduces its activity. Remember: Skipping meals to lose weight is unhealthy and above all, not a practical choice.

The food-word for today is suppli. Let’s discover this unusual hand-held Roman snack.

Supplì is undoubtedly one of the favorite foods of the Romans, and perhaps represents the essence of the Roman more than all other foods. The Roman know how to eat well and precipitously, mostly by hands, especially street food variants. And it is precisely from the streets of Rome that food torture arises. It is a simple and tasty recipe like rice with meat sauce, pecorino cheese,  mozzarella, eggs, and breadcrumbs. The name is Roman, extracted from the French slank dictionary of soldiers stationed in Rome. All of this happened in the early nineteenth century, when a lover of the recipe, called the fried and breaded rice dumpling surprise, referring  to the filling. The Italianization of the French surprise became suppli.

This episode of News you can eat 24 is about the recommended intake amount of cured meats. Nobody wants to give up cured meats definitively. They are part of our tradition and daily diet. The consumer identifies the product as a quick fix, snack, or as a starter. We also have a sodium addiction in the country, which is noticeable in the location numbers of the Subway shops and other notable all-the sodium-you-want franchises. Do you know anyone who shakes salt on food before tasting?
