  2. Vichyssoise To make enough easy vichyssoise to serve six to eight, you will need 1 tbsp unsalted butter, 2 medium cooking onions (onions are more readily available than the classic leeks, and you don’t have to clean them), sliced, 5 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced, 4 cups vegetable stock, 1 cup milk, 1 cup whipping cream, salt and pepper to taste. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Add potatoes and stock. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes. Turn off heat, and using a hand blender, puree soup in the pot until very smooth (you can also use a regular blender, adding the soup in batches). Stir in milk, cream, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least four hours or until very cold. Taste for proper seasoning again before serving. Garnish with fresh chives if you’ve got them, and enjoy this cool and creamy summer soup.

Garlic Health Benefits Various garlic health benefits have long been claimed and the "stinking rose" treatment has been used extensively in herbal medicine (phytotherapy) down the centuries. It's been considered by many to be a herbal "wonder drug", with a reputation in folklore for preventing or treating everything from the common cold and flu to the Plague! Much of that is at best unproven, however there are some very positive garlic health facts that are now widely accepted. Amongst the most interesting potential applications are suggestions that garlic might be able to assist some people in the management of blood pressure cholesterol levels. Modern science has shown that garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic, albeit broad-spectrum rather than targeted. The bacteria in the body do not appear to evolve resistance to the garlic as they do to many modern pharmaceutical antibiotics. This means that its positive health benefits can continue over time rather than helping to breed antibiotic resistant "superbugs". Studies have also shown that garlic - especially aged garlic - can have a powerful antioxidant effect. Antioxidants can help to protect the body against damaging free radicals. There are claims that fermented black garlic contains even higher antioxidant levels than normal cloves. Some people who want the claimed health benefits without the taste prefer to take garlic supplements. These pills and capsules have the advantage of avoiding garlic breath. Side-Effects Even garlic isn't a perfect. Apart from garlic breath there are other possible side effects, especially if used to excess. Use common sense and don't overdo it. Raw garlic is very strong, so eating too much could produce problems, for example irritation of or even damage to the digestive tract. There are a few people who are allergic to garlic. Symptoms of garlic allergy include skin rash, temperature and headaches. Also, garlic could potentially disrupt anti-coagulants, so it's best avoided before surgery. As with any medicine, always check with your doctor first and tell your doctor if you are using it. http://www.garlic-ce...lic-health.html

Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for approx 1/2 hour. Wash romaine and drain well ( I use a salad spinner to get all the water out). Remove dressing mixture from the fridge and mix again with a fork (should be thick mayonaise consistancy) toss in the torn romaine and capers. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and croutons over the top and serve. You can add diced roast chicken to this recipe too if you like.

Drain water from the cod and potatoes, combine with cream, onions and pork scraps. Toss with black pepper and serve
  18. Fish and Brewis (pronounced brews) 4 cakes hard bread 2 lbs salt cod 1 cup salt pork, finely diced Break each bread into 2 or 3 pieces and soak for 6-8 hours, or overnight, in cold water. Use lots of water because it will be absorbed. Soak salt cod in separate bowl of cold water for 6-8 hours, or overnight. Change water once or twice if you prefer less salt. If using fresh fish, add 1 tsp of salt to water when cooking. In the morning, change water on cod and simmer gently until tender, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Skin, bone and flake fish. Place hard bread in saucepan with enough water to cover bread, use water in which it soaked. Heat slowly just until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and drain immediately. Add cooked, flaked fish and mix. Keep hot. Fry salt pork until golden brown and crisp. These scrunchions and fat may be poured over fish and brewis mixture when served, or mixed with it. Serve hot.
