Jacques Pepin's Flatbread Recipe

I saw Chef Pepin make this on one of his shows, and thought, that is almost like the bread I used to make when I lived on the Beach in St. Augustine Florida and I had no yeast. I called it a cheat pizza dough, and I added tons of granulated garlic. Serves 6 1 1⁄2 cups/188g regular all purpose flour 1 cup/250ml water 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml salt 2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil 2 tablespoons/30ml water Dump everything (except the 2 tablespoons water) into a bowl and "stir it into a gooey stuff" as Jacques says. The dough will indeed be very wet, gooey, sticky. Stir in any optional ingredients. Heat a non-stick 10" / 25.4 cm skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and then pour in the dough. Spread into one flat layer with a spoon or spatula. (A little oil on the spoon or spatula helps keep the dough from sticking to it.) Add remaining water around the outside of the dough where it meets the pan; the o...

Fish Not As Carbon Friendly As Previously Thought

Darin Graham - Reporter, The Climate Question Eating fish could be worse for the climate than previously thought, according to a recent scientific study . Previous research indicated that seafood has a smaller carbon footprint than other animal proteins, because fishing doesn't require farmland or the care of livestock. But a new study claims that catching fish using heavy nets that drag across the seabed - known as bottom trawling - emits about the same amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) globally as the aviation industry. Seabed sediments that act as huge carbon sinks are churned up during this kind of trawling - and this results in CO2 being released. "The ocean is full of little creatures that we call the plankton, microscopic algae and microscopic shrimp and so forth," says Dr Sala, explorer-in-residence at National Geographic and leader of the study published in Nature. Speaking to the BBC World Service's, The Climate Question , he says "most of these creatu...

Do you need a quick meal on a COLD winter's day? Try my Pressure Cooker version of Beef Stew that is in Stay Fit Eat Allergy Free Beef Stew in a Hurry Like most slow cook meals, beef stew most likely came about to make tough, chewy cuts of meat manageable. The upside was that these cuts of meat were chock full of flavour. The thick rich sauce along with the potatoes and whatever root vegetable was in the house made a hearty meal. Serves 4 1 1/2 pounds/565g boneless chuck cut into 1 1/2 inch/4cm cubes 3 tablespoons/45ml potato flour 1/4 cup/60ml canola oil 1 large onion, chopped 2 teaspoons/10ml sea salt 1 teaspoon/5ml black pepper 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon/5ml dry thyme 1 clove garlic, minced 2 stalks celery, sliced 1/2 cup/125ml dry red wine 3 1/2 cups/875ml beef stock 1 pound/450g potatoes cut into 1 1/2 inch/4cm cubes 1 pound/450g carrots, cut into 1 1/2 inch/4cm cubes 1 cup frozen peas or cut green beans Toss meat in flour to coat.

Citrus Pear Jam - Freezer Jam Recipe

Late-season pears get a boost from a touch of orange and cardamom in this tasty recipe, which goes just as wel l spread on toast as it does over roast pork tenderloin. Because freezer jams are not sterilized, you cannot keep them at room temperature. Makes enough to fill five 8-ounce/227g jars 2 medium-sized sweet navel oranges 3 cups/675ml/675g ripe Bartlett pears, peeled, seeded and chopped finely 1 tablespoon/15ml lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon/1ml ground cardamom 1 1/2 cups/195g sugar, ideally superfine Pectin of your choice (since it varies by brand, consult package for correct amount) Using a sharp knife, completely remove the peel of the orange. One at a time, remove each slice of orange, using the knife to cut between the orange flesh and the white pithy membrane that separates each slice. When you're done, you should have perfectly formed orange slices without any seeds or membranes. If any seeds remain, remove them. Cut each slice into 3 or 4 chunks...
