There are others, of course, but the list above contains the best of the best, according to the 2008 food and drink awards. These pubs have something for everyone, and they're high-quality and classy without making anyone feel uncomfortable or like they don't belong. They also have great food and drinks and they're very kind to people who are visiting, which is a big plus when you're in a strange place and a little bit unsure of where you should be going. In the end, all of these pubs are great choices. You'll have to pick the one that feels the best to you, or you can visit several of them and frequent the ones you like best, depending on the length of your stay.

Finding the best pubs for you can mean some trial and error, and it can also depend on who else you've brought with you. If you're travelling along you can go where you like, but if you've brought along some friends or family members there might be some opinions about what makes a good pub and which pub they'd like to stop at. You could also need a place that's kid friendly, and you'll want to make sure that you find one before you have some hungry, fussy children. Most places have no problems with families and small children, but some are more accepting and accommodating, and you'll want to find them. You can find that out from the locals quite easily if you haven't done any prior research, and the local Devon people can often provide you with the best source when it comes to which pubs you'll want to go to. They know more about their area than the tourist information guides often do, because they frequent certain places - some of which might be off the beaten path but still quite wonderful and definitely worth considering.

But all those things can actually be good for you. Honest.

Claire Criscuolo is the founder and proprietor of legendary health food emporium Claire's Corner Copia, in New Haven, Connecticut (www.clairescornercopia.com), and as she nears the restaurant's 35th Anniversary in September, she wants to deliver a message to the rest of the world: Healthy doesn't have to hurt.

"For more than three decades, we've been working on creating healthy foods that don't taste like healthy foods," Criscuolo said. "When most people think of health foods, they think of bland, gritty or virtually tasteless substitutes for the fatty, unhealthy foods they'd prefer to eat. Instead, we don't try to imitate anything - all our recipes and dishes are created from scratch, with originality and creativity. We work hard to buy sustainable and organic ingredients because we think we should take as much care in preparing our menu items as people should be taking in their health and diets. For instance, we eliminated trans fats from our menus in 2001, replacing shortenings in our pie crusts with organic and trans fat free and our pie crusts remain tender yet flaky, the way most people like them."

Criscuolo's gourmet vegetarian restaurant, a hub of the healthy eating population worldwide, opened in 1975, and probably owes its being a few years ahead of its time to being close to Yale University's progressive campus. The restaurant was handicapped accessible long before the law mandated it, eliminated trans fats from its menu before most people knew what they were, before accessibility laws were enacted, was declared kosher nearly a decade ago and has had a Braille version of its menu since the 1980s.

"Popular foods that are loaded with delicious and healthy vegetables include comfort foods, like stuffed peppers, vegetable pot pies, and our Portobello stacks with braised organic baby spinach, sun-dried tomato pesto, and feta cheese," Criscuolo said. "Our Quesadilla Zio Javier has organic black beans, tomatoes, chili peppers, onions, and salsa verde with organic avocado, and we make our own veggie burgers. We make a Greek Veggie Burger with organic oats and brown rice, carrots, walnuts, onions, mushrooms, and we top it feta, cucumber, and yogurt. It's all healthy, but it all tastes like the richest gourmet fare."

With entrees like that, there's room for a little indulgence with Claire's world famous Lithuanian Coffee Cake, a signature staple of Claire's menu.

"Our Lithuanian Coffee Cake started out with the name, Sally Tessler's Mother's Coffee Cake, because the base recipe started out as our beloved employees Mom's family recipe," Criscuolo said. "I added coffee and vanilla to the batter and added coffee grounds and brown sugar and walnuts to the filling. After a short while, we realized the name was a bit lengthy and I wanted to name it after the place Sally's Mom's family came from; Sally told me that her Mom's family came from what was Lithuania, and at the time that was part of the Soviet bloc. Well, I suggested we help the ‘revolution' with the cake and declare it Lithuanian Coffee Cake. I wish democracy came that easily, but Sally loved the idea and years later when Lithuania became an independent country once again, she called to ask ‘So what do you think, did the Lithuanian Coffee Cake have anything to do with the freedom?'" ]]> http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/how-to-make-chocolate-gift-baskets-the-perfect-present.html http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/how-to-make-chocolate-gift-baskets-the-perfect-present.html Mon, 07 Sep 2009 21:05:18 -0500
In choosing perfect chocolate gift baskets, there are many things to check. First, consider who is receiving the gift. A diabetic friend may prefer to receive chocolates that are made from sugar substitutes. An Italian colleague may favor chocolates imported from Italy. Some favor dark chocolates over the white and milk types, others want their chocolates fruity than nutty. Remember that there are chocolate gift baskets for everyone, and one just need to know preferences of the person receiving the gifts.

One good thing about chocolate gift baskets is that you can actually customize it. Put a twist by making the actual basket look more attractive. Try decorating it with some flowers. One can even hand paint the holder which will make it appear more personal than usual.

One can also make chocolate gift baskets the perfect present by making it the ultimate expression of sweetness. Bear in mind that a sweet treat plus a sweet effort equals an unforgettable gift. Send someone chocolate gift baskets even if they are far away. Shops selling these items usually offer some delivery services. It is also good to make the chocolates home-made, and give them with simple notes like "personally made for you" or "home-made chocolates only for you."

There also various reasons why chocolate gift baskets are the perfect gifts. One obvious reason is the fact that everyone loves chocolate! Who doesn't like melting chocolates in their mouth? Moreover, chocolate gift baskets are cheaper than jewelry and electronics. It also saves time for those who are quite busy. The reason is that there are many stores selling this treats.

Make your gourmet gift baskets "diet friendly" instead of "fat friendly" simply by changing the usual entrée. Personally take charge in choosing the foods that will be included in your package. And be pro-active in asking or even suggesting foods that will comprise your gourmet.

With Liquor-Wine-Beverage-and-Cheese-Crackers combo in your gourmet gift baskets, opt for the classic type of wine, like red or white wine. Stay away from mud shakes, or beverages that are cream-based. Because the red and the white wine have fewer calories in them, than those heavy shakes or cream drinks. On the other hand, with cheeses, choose the low fat type. There are a lot of cheeses now sold in the market that are diet friendly with fewer sodium and fat in them. And before adding them in your gourmet gift baskets, you can always check the nutritional contents listed at the back of the package. With crackers, choose the simplest one with no sugar or anything added in it. Remember you have the cheese for the taste, so you don't need another flavor!

With gourmet gift baskets containing cookies, make sure that these pastries can not ruin a weight loss regimen. If it is chocolate cookies, go for the dark chocolates. They are less fattening and have more health benefits. If it is fruit flavored cookies, make sure it's not heavy on sugar. They are made mostly from preserved fruit jams that have thick sugar sauces, which are big No-No's to dieters. There are already a lot of cookies that are low in calories and low in fat as well, find them and let them be the main element of your gourmet gift baskets.

If fruits are the main theme of your gourmet gift baskets, bear in mind that not all fruits are dieter's best friend. Some fruits are extra loaded with calories making them horrific to weight watchers. Look out for the sugar content. Ripe mangoes have higher sugar than cantaloupe. Avocados are loaded with good fat; and although it is good fat, it can still be bulky in calorie-content.

The lesson: Dieters should not fear gourmet gift baskets, or the foods in them. You just have to have wise and healthy choices of items that you are going to include in your package. And with so many innovations the latest technology is offering, we are lucky to have a wider array of diet-friendly foods available in our market today. We just need to be extra watchful in finding them. Remember that little efforts may contribute to large weight loss in the end.

Dandelion has a rich history as a nutritious food with medicinal properties. The word "dandelion" comes from the French "dent de lion" or "lion's tooth." This is in reference to the plants leaves, which are jagged-edged.

The official name for the flowering plant is Taraxacum from the Asteraceae family. The word Taraxacum has its basis in the Greek language, and its definition is "remedy for disorders."

The dandelion is native to Europe and Asia, with two species found as weeds globally. Common in the northern temperate zone, dandelions grow in pastures and meadows, on waste ground and by roadsides.

The head of a dandelion is actually a small cluster of yellow flowers. Being plenteous, it's no wonder the plant came into wide usage in the past and continues so today.

Concerning nettles, there are numerous species of the plant. However, Stinging nettle (officially called Urtica dioica) is the perennial flowering plant used as nutritious food. Native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa and North America, it also goes by the name "common nettle."

Stinging nettles grow between 3 to 7 feet in height during the summer. It has soft green leaves with edges that resemble a serrated knife. The leaves and stems have non-stinging hairs and many stinging hairs. The chemical compounds in hairs that come off when touched emit chemicals that cause a sting, hence the name.

Today there is much concern about unhealthy fats in one's diet. Many are espousing the benefits of a Mediterranean diet instead. Common fare for people of this region includes plenty of green vegetables, fresh fruit, fish and the use of olive oil.

Dandelions traditionally find themselves as salad greens in the Mediterranean diet. Stinging nettle, with a flavour akin to spinach, is also becoming more popular as a side dish.

Always experimenting with culinary delights, the Mediterranean diet now includes different recipes using dandelion and stinging nettle. In culinary concoctions, dandelion leaves are becoming more prevalent on restaurant menus. They are a part of braised dishes and salad dishes. As a leafy green vegetable, stinging nettle finds use as a flavouring in some Gouda cheeses. It also makes a substantial soup and is rich in protein.

The medicinal uses of dandelion and stinging nettle are plentiful. After washing them well, you can boil both of these plants. Next, you infuse them to make a rich tea full of vitamins and minerals.

Dandelion finds use mainly for disorders related to the liver. This includes congestion and inflammation, cirrhosis, hepatitis and jaundice. It also includes gallstones and bile-duct inflammation. In addition, dandelion has diuretic properties.

The stinging nettle has cleansing and strengthening nutrients. A quality remedy for hay fever, asthma and eczema, they have a strong anti-allergenic effect. Some hair shampoos contain nettle to control dandruff and to give hair shine.

Legend has it that dandelions were responsible for saving a people from a famine. This was on the Mediterranean island of Menorca. Stories of old speak of how a plague of locusts on the island consumed virtually most of the plant life on Menorca. The residents of the island survived for almost a year by eating dandelion root.

One of Spain's Balearic Islands, Menorca which is also known as Minorca lies between Spain and the North African coast. It's not surprising, to this day, to find dandelion in Mediterranean dishes in homes and restaurants on Menorca. Along with its healthy Mediterranean cuisine, the island offers sun, sand and siestas by the sea.

Menorca is home to more than 120 beaches. Water and water sports abound on this piece of western Mediterranean archipelago. Holidaymakers who travel to Menorca can enjoy a host of activities and good eating in places such as Mahon, the island's capital.

You can make the Mediterranean way part of your lifestyle even before you travel. Mediterranean diets rich in leafy greens like dandelion and stinging nettle are beneficial in many ways. The region's diet can build your health at home so you're ready for that island holiday. ]]> http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/brinkman-grills-best-rated-grills.html http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/brinkman-grills-best-rated-grills.html Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:31:02 -0500

It's time to change the way you start your morning. You deserve better than that tasteless and odorless dishwater you've been drinking every morning. From now on, don't settle for anything less than a wonderful cup of freshly brewed gourmet coffee.

Gourmet coffee sounds expensive but the reality is that coffee is extremely affordable, unless of course you're buying it at Starbucks every day.

Coffee beans are available in many varieties and flavors. There is nothing quite like a fresh cup of coffee made with freshly ground vanilla flavored coffee beans. It is my favorite way to start the morning.

It is very important to start with fresh whole beans. If using a standard drip coffee maker you should use a medium setting when grinding your beans. If your coffee maker uses a cone shaped filter then you can use the fine setting. If you use a french press or a percolator you will want your grinds to be coarse. You'll be very surprised when you taste the richness and flavor of freshly ground beans.

Most Arabica beans are named after the country or region in which they are grown. Some countries, such as Indonesia have very well known blends such as Java and Sumatra, which have practically become household names...at least in coffee drinker households.

When you pick out a grinder make certain to find a grinder in your price range. Standard spinning blade grinders are available in just about any department store. These grinders don't give you a lot of control over the grind but they still do a pretty good job. Once your hooked you may want to explore burr grinders which are more expensive but also give you a lot more control over your grind.

A far as I'm concerned, a french press is the only way to consume coffee. It's exceedingly fresh, and if you've never had a cup of french pressed coffee, you'll be shocked, literally shocked, at how rich and flavorful a cup of french pressed coffee is.

It is now time to dump out the old grinds and bring in the beans. Start grinding your way to the freshest way to start any morning today. ]]> http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/iron-chef-invades-america.html http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/iron-chef-invades-america.html Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:31:48 -0500
The story behind the show goes something like this"theres this rich dude, MC Kaga who summons the finest chefs in Japan to do battle in his kitchen stadium. Needless to say, a TV studio wouldnt suffice for such a production: the kitchen stadium is in Kagas castle. Also in residence are three Iron Chefs, each representing a different type of cuisine (Chinese, French and Japanese). The summoned culinary challenger picks which Iron Chef he wants to take a crack at and the contest begins. The show was originally created by the Fuji TV network in the Japan, and the original Japanese title translates literally to The Iron Men of Cooking.

Adding even more 'spice' to the show--each dish must include the 'theme ingredient' which is kept a mystery until immediately before the competition begins. With great pomp and amid smoke and pyrotechnics, Kaga reveals the 'mystery ingredient'. Sometimes it'll be something basic like apples or tofu, other times it's more obscure like ox tail or some otherworldly shellfish.

The chefs then have an hour to prepare a seven-course meal to be served to a panel of what I presume to be mid-level Japanese celebrities. They rate and discuss each participants offering and pick a winner. At the end of the show with much fan fare Kaga reveals the winner. Its a great honor to beat one of the Iron Chefs, though its no easy feat.

What really brings the show together is the announcing. Theres a hysterical play by play announcer, an excitable color commentator, and an even more hyperactive sideline correspondent who will break in the commentary frequently with revelations such as observing that a chef is using fresh ginger in a dish or some similar piece of trivia. Apparently one of the announcers is a legit sumo wrestling announcer in Japan, making the strange juxtaposition between cooking shows and wrestling even more complete.

The dishes that are presented are always amazing and creative. Sometimes they might not be the most appetizing creations, but that's to be expected when you have to make a desert with something like pickled carp as a theme ingredient. The creative process and the competition is what makes the show a must watch.

The Food Network has recently begun production of a native grown version called 'Iron Chef America'. It has a similar format, but really loses a lot from the inscrutable original. ]]> http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/a-restricted-diet-does-not-mean-limited-on-flavor.html http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/a-restricted-diet-does-not-mean-limited-on-flavor.html Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:12:19 -0500

I have one secret ingredient: offshore shrimp...shhh.

I have one strict rule: I use only Wild United States Shrimp, from the gulf coast or the southern Atlantic Ocean. Surprisingly, shrimp eaten in the United States are raised in either Asia or Latin America. Foreign shrimp simply do not taste as good as shrimp from the United States. Once you try US wild shrimp, you'll never have foreign again.

I discovered that 90% of shrimp consumed in America is foreign raised on farms in Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia and South America. The United States shrimper simply cannot compete with the flood of farmed raised shrimp that is shipped into the United States. Foreign shrimp just tastes awful.

However, Wild American Shrimp is catching on in the U.S., so you won't be alone in requesting and only eating american wild shrimp.

Foreign shrimp have large amounts of fungicides, antibiotics, pesticides and algaecides in them, while Wild American shrimp feed on plankton and other protein sources in its own natural environment. They are more nutritious and have a more flavorful taste than their Asian or Latin American cousins. Simply cook both American Wild Shrimp and foreign shrimp and eat them. Much like all wild food, wild shrimp will win the taste test hands down!

Besides the chemicals introduced to foreign shrimp as they are grown in earthen ponds, much of the shrimp are raised on grained based food. This gives them a bland taste compared to the products harvested off the southern shores of the United States. Even if you try to spice up the shrimp, it won't matter.

So, there you have it! Wild shrimp off the coast is the best. Fresh pasta is also the best...especially, when added to shrimp scampi. In twenty minutes, you'll have shrimp scampi and add a simple salad to your meal and you'll have a great dinner that everybody will love. ]]> http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/wild-huckleberry-innovation.html http://articles.mychoicedeals.com/food/wild-huckleberry-innovation.html Mon, 17 Aug 2009 08:48:59 -0500

The first cheese on our list is that of Cornish Yarg. This is a moist cheese from Cornwall and has a fresh and creamy taste. Yet the most unique thing about this cheese is that it has been hand covered in nettles. This wonderfully bizarre cheese is a welcome sight from the cheddars that occupy the supermarket shelves. Produced at Lynher Dairies the makers note that the cheese is naturally ripened which enables the cheese to produce rinds and molds that vary in colour from a dusty white for the younger ones to a yellow/brown mold as the cheese matures all of which is a completely natural stage and bares no difference to the flavor of the cheese.

Cheese two is produced by Cornish Country Land and is called Village Green. This is an award winning hard goats cheese made with 100% goats milk sourced from their regular farm suppliers. The cheese is matured for at least 6 months and offers a clean, fruity and full bodied flavor with a smooth slightly crumbly texture. The cheese is onluy made using 100% natural ingredients and provides a great alternative to people to don't enjoy or choose to avoid cows milk cheese.

The third cheese on our list is the Cornish Blue Cheese. Made by skilled cheese makers in Cornwall from the Cornish Cheese Company this is a delightful addition to our cheese list. The process is entirely hand made and one element requires the cheese to be matured for 12 to 14 weeks. The bluing of the cheese occurs when the cheese is pierced each week with stainless steel rods allowing the mould to spread through out the cheese. This is a must for anyone who likes the taste of blue cheese.

There we have three of the best cheese that Cornwall has to offer. Try something a little different as well as support the local economy.
