These hearty beans are a good source of protein, and when combined with a whole grain such as whole wheat pasta or brown rice provide protein comparable to that of meat or dairy foods without the high calories or saturated fat found in these foods.So what are you waiting for a delicious healthy recipe is on your way....relish and stay healthy.

Zero Oil Vegetable Soup


Zero oil vegetable soup is a very delicious and healthy soup. Good for the weight watcher and heart healthy too. You can  take and mix any vegetable of your choice. I just suggest  few which I like.One caution while choosing the vegetables if you are pregnant or planning such then skip raw papaya. The Papaya latex's main constitiuants are papain and chymopapain which have teratogenic (abnormalities of physiological development) and abortifacient (Can induce an abortion) effects . It does this by increasing the chances of uterine contractions as the papain acts like prostaglandin and oxytocin which are known to put a mothers body into labour and hence an adverse effect on the babies and mothers health. I just want all my readers to stay safe healthy and happy. I am sure you all will like this completely oil free comfy soup. Enjoy.



Zero Oil Vegetable Soup

Ingredients
  • 2 carrots cubes
  • 4 to 6 okra cut into halves
  • 4 to 6 big chunks of bottle gourd with or without skin
  • 4 to 6 big chunks of skinless raw papaya
  • 2 to 3 baby potatoes optional
  • 6 to 7 french beans head and tail off and then cut into big pieces

My Berlin Kitchen by Luisa Weiss - Book Review


My Berlin Kitchen by Luisa Weiss is a mix of wonderful travelogue, memoir, cookbook and a touch of a fairy tale. Once I started My Berlin Kitchen it’s really hard to put down. Those who have read Luisa popular food blog “The Wednesday Chef” know some of her personal history but this is the memoir which fills the blank, exploring the loneliness and alienation of a child who never quiet feels at home wherever she is and the debilitating heart break when an important relationship fails. But there is a plenty of happiness embedded too: summers at her grandparent’s Italian farmhouse, falling in love, and, always the pleasure of the kitchen. Every page is more delightful and delicious than the one before. Each chapter closes with a recipe for a dish referenced in the text, most of which represent one of the places Weiss has called home.


L
uisa Weiss was a toddler living in West Berlin when her parents divorced, and she spent her childhood commuting back and forth between Boston and Berlin. Faced with such a peripatetic existence, the one place she could find comfort and a sense of home was the kitchen. She started collecting recipes in college and launched her food blog when she was working as a cook book editor in New York.

W
hen Luisa was 31, she was at the crossroads. She had the man, the friends and the dream job, but she knew something was missing. It’s time to take a leap of faith and follow her life’s passion. She broke off her engagement, quit her job and decided to move back to Berlin, discovering a city that had changed as much as she had, it was time to her way back home again through the kitchen door, where love and happiness had always been waiting on the other side.
 My Berlin Kitchen is a mouthwatering tribute to Berlin and a love letter to food, romance and following your heart. Love the way she told it with honesty and with sensitivity. The last two chapter is like fairy tale where Luisa telling “ I am the luckiest girl alive” and she is true . I can’t wait to try her Buttermilk Panna cotta, Braised Red cabbage and Pickled Herring Salad with Potatoes and Beet basically I want to try all her recipes and go through the book once again. I think foodies and non foodies all will enjoy the transcontinental romance about taking risk in life and kitchen, will thoroughly enjoy the chapters brimming with colorful cooking tales and savory recipes.



 NOTE: Viking/Penguin gave me a review copy of My Berlin Kitchen .

Coffee Banana Smoothie


To make morning healthy delicious today I make this awesome Coffee Banana Smoothie.Some think bananas are just for monkeys but hopefully not so give it a thought reading the benefits and then the recipe. I am sure you will never say no to it.Banana is loaded with goodness and it very good fruit to start the morning with.Banana have high level of tryptophan which help to overcome depression and is converted into serotonin....the happy - mood brain transmitter.It also helps against muscle cramps during work out and night cramps.Banana helps to build strong bones and reduce swelling, protects against type II diabetes, aid weight loss, strengthen nervous system, and help with the production of white blood cells, all due to high level of vitamin B6. Strengthen your blood and relieve anemia with the added iron.Coffee too have some health benefit. Though many will say that coffee loaded with caffeine is not at all good but recent study shows that Caffeine's primary mechanism in the brain is blocking the effects of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine. By blocking the inhibitory effects of Adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine. Caffeine can improve mood, reaction time, memory, vigilance and general cognitive function. Coffee contains a decent amount of several vitamins and minerals. It is also the biggest source of antioxidants in the modern diet. So when you will have coffee banana smoothie in the morning it is obvious it will give you a kick start.But it also true that I am not recommending the drink all days but once in a week you can relish this healthy luxury.




Coffee Banana Smoothie

Ingredients
  • 2 ripe banana peeled and sliced

Iced Tea


Iced tea is basically is from of cold tea served in a glass with ice. Iced tea is a very refreshing beverage especially during summer. It is a very healthy alternative to those sugar packed canned sodas. This is one of the most beloved package drinks and you get both the sweetened version and the unsweetened. The best part of iced tea is you can mix it with flavored syrup of your choice and just make an awesome drink that suits your taste and mood. Few flavors that are well paired with iced tea are lemon, peace, raspberry, lime, passion fruit and cherry. Not only different fruity flavors are added to make this tea delicious but many infused different herbs to make it healthier. Some people call this “sun tea” may be because of its bright color. I think you will get iced tea in almost every part of the world. In Austria you will get heavily sweetened iced tea commonly known as Eistee and in Italy you will get peach and lemon flavored iced tea, but if you are in Switzerland you will get herbal tea with peppermint flavor. Lemon flavor ice tea is most common so today we are sharing how to make lemon flavored iced tea and I am sure you will enjoy this in a warm day.



Iced Tea

Ingredients
  • 2 tall glass of water
  • 1/2 tsp tea powder
  • 6 to 8 ice cube
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 very thin slice of lemon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar or to taste
  • 5 to 6 fresh mint leaves
Cooking Directions
  1. Boil two glass of water then add ½ tsp of tea powder (for this you can use traditional black tea or green tea) add sugar and let it boil for 2 minutes. Then strain the tea with a tea strainer. Add lemon juice to it. Mix well. Sweetness is a matter of taste but sometimes the tartness of lemon demands bit more sugar so adjust according to your taste. Now cool it and then put it in a refrigerator until completely chilled before serving. Now take a serving mug filled it with ice cubes, lemon wedges and then fills the glass with chilled iced tea. Top the iced tea with few fresh mint leaves.
