Vintage Cooking From the 1800s - Hints

Angela Johnson

Sinopse

STEP BACK IN TIME.... and imagine how difficult it was to prepare and cook food before gas and electricity was available. Advice and cooking hints were sometimes included at the end of cookbooks, and greatly appreciated
This book includes authentic recipes and advice gathered from various cookbooks published in the 1800s.
SOME HINTS:
~ To remove insects from vegetables which are being washed, put a pinch of borax in the water. It will bring any live insect to the surface at once.
~ Fresh eggs placed in cold water will immediately sink, while bad ones will float on top.
~ Try taking the beaten white of an egg when you have a sour stomach. It is very soothing to an irritated, sensitive stomach.
~ Iced tea requires only half as much sugar sweetened when hot than when cold.
~ Sweet potatoes and apples will not turn black if placed in salt water immediately after peeling.
~ Water from macaroni or rice after they have been cooked should be saved for soup and gravies.
~ To keep lemons, put them in water. Change once a week and they will keep a long time.
~ To keep milk sweet, put a spoon of grated horse-radish into the pan. It will keep it sweet for days.
~ Meats, fish and poultry can be kept fresh in hot weather by being sprinkled with a little powdered charcoal. This washes away easily just before cooking.
~ To keep weevils out of wheat, put the wheat in barrels, smooth it, and sprinkle a layer of salt over the top. Keep the barrels well covered by tying cloths over them; a sure preventive.
DISCLAIMER: The hints compiled for this book come from various cookbooks published in the 1800s. They are for information and historical reading. Many cooking practices from this time period will not conform with today's food safety standards, so use your judgement on whether a hint is applicable today.

At this time, I assume that you already realize how powerful your mind is. Have you ever heard that 90% of the disease is related to how your brain and mind work? Exactly, and that's the truth. But that's not the subject I am going to talk about today.
Today, we're talking about how to use your mind and empower it to help you get in shape and healthy. And how to make it help you instead of constantly pushing you back… Yes, I am talking about those nights when you feel stressed out, sad, anxious, and the only way to push it away that you know about is to get some chips, hamburger, pizza, or any other fabricated food.
Just imagine. How would your life change if you have been "IN CONTROL" of every single action you take – and STRONGER than any craving you may experience?
In fact, The 1998 Study by Kirsch showed that utilizing hypnosis plus CBT instead of CBT on it’s own for weight loss yielded nearly double the amount of weight loss. Yes, double!
And, another study by Cordi & Rasch stated that after listening to the hypnosis the participants experienced up to 80 percent more slow-wave sleep, which hugely improves the overall quality of your sleep.

These three hundred recipes are the real deal: classic home food complete with culinary pedigrees. Here you can find authentic versions of:

The Best Stews in the World is organized by each recipe’s predominant ingredient: beef; veal; pork; lamb; poultry, goat, and rabbit; mixed meats; fish and shellfish; vegetables; and mixed meats. The recipes are easy to follow, the techniques are straightforward, the narrative is rich with the history and tradition of each stew, and, most important, the rewards are plentiful and satisfying.
