Cook Yourself Thin Book

With recession fears meaning more of us are cooking at home, this could have health benefits compared with calorie-dense takeaway and restaurant meals. But the number of calories per serving in classic recipes cooked at home has increased by nearly 40 percent in the past 70 years. This is the finding of a recent study that reveals the trend of growing portion sizes in numerous cookbooks.

We are so used to eating ever-increasing quantities of food that we haven’t noticed how many extra calories we are overloading on our plates, according to dietitian and author of Portion Perfection – A visual weight control plan Amanda Clark Adv APD.

“A calorie increase of 40 percent per serving is sizeable because a rise of just 10 percent is enough to result in weight gain,” said Australian dietitian Amanda Clark. The author has developed a new e-game called Plate Smash as a visual tool to show adults and teenagers how much is right to eat for lunch.

“I believe most people would like to eat the right amount, if only they knew what that was. The Plate Smash game makes you stop and think about how many calories you are putting on your plate for one meal,” said Mrs Clark.

The game was also designed for parents who want to learn the right quantities of various foods their active or inactive teenagers devour for lunch, including pizza, sushi, sandwiches, meat pies, French fries and chicken nuggets.

“If parents and teens know their calorie limits, this could help prevent and manage rising obesity in young people,” said Mrs Clark.

“Latest research shows the best way to lose weight is to eat what you want and get into the habit of limiting your portion sizes. Reduced-calorie diets result in meaningful weight loss if you stick with them, regardless of whether they are low-fat, low-carb or high-protein.”

“If you focus on eating the perfect portions, you can eat the foods you like including the occasional treats,” said Mrs Clark. “This means you won’t feel deprived and can stick to a healthy way of eating for life.”

Amanda’s book Portion Perfection features hundreds of photographs of popular foods and drinks to graphically show how much is right to eat for adults, teens and children.

Want To Make More Money From Your Writing?

By Mara Reid Rogers

The Party Line:

You know how when you go to a party, or any get-together for that matter, and the first question someone asks you is “What do you do?”

Invariably, we all know they mean “What do you do for a living?” Not “What do you do when you win a million dollars?” or, “What do you do when you have a bad cold?”

Well, recently, until about a week ago, that question had me stumped.

The reason is that years ago I was a cookbook author, and loved it, and had a very successful career at it for over a decade.

Do I still write cookbooks? Yes; and I teach an online class where other writers and cooks/chefs can learn how to write and sell their cookbook ideas. And I have a new eBook on the same topic.

But, you see that’s not all I do. I also have a career as a Dating Coach where I help men and women find love, and I write about the topics of Dating, Relationships, and Marriage too.

So, you could say I write recipes for food and recipes for love…Right?

But, that is rather confusing phrase and really doesn’t say much of anything.

My point is that I have defined what “I do” in the past as “I have a hybrid career.”

And then I continue to try to explain what that “Hybrid Career” is:

“I am a Writer who has authored a variety of titles on a variety of subjects, and I have a dual career, both as a teacher for budding cookbook authors and as dating coach.”

But, that’s rather a mouthful to share with a total stranger that you meet at a party, or anywhere for that matter. After all, s/he just wants to start a simple conversation.

But then a week ago I read something that now helps me define my career, and to answer the question “What do you do?” much more succinctly.

Sell “Information”:

What did this for me was a recently published book that I read titled “From Entrepreneur to Infopreneur:Make Money with Books, eBooks, and Information Products.” By Stephanie Chandler.

She helped me define what I do for a career, “I am an Infopreneur.” To my knowledge Ms. Chandler coined this great word.

Now you can imagine the person at the party will then ask me (and does),

“What is an Infoprenuer?”

My reply now?

“An Infopreneur is someone who sells information. Everyone is an expert at something, some people are expert at more than one skill, and they can write about those skills in a “How-To” style to teach others how to so what they do. By sharing and selling this information in some form whether it be a book, eBook, online class or some other information product, they are what is referred to as an Infopreneur.”

Increase Your Revenue Streams as A Writer:

This concept of “Infopreneur” is a great way to tackle increasing your revenue streams as a Writer. Just think, whether it is a book, eBook, online class, special report, teleseminar, audio program or any of the other many modern forms “information” is sold in, you can leverage what you already know! Even if you are not recognized yet as an “expert” in a given field or industry, there is, I am sure something you know how to do that someone else wants to learn that you can teach them. Whether it’s how to fix a leaky toilet or how to study for an exam effectively–there is some knowledge or craft, or trade you know that others need to know, and they will happily pay you for that information!

So get writing!

Cook Yourself Thin Chocolate Cranberry Biscotti

Cook Yourself Thin – Chocolate and Cranberry Biscotti

The word “biscotti”  applies to any type of biscuit, and originates from the Latin word biscoctum, meaning “twice-baked”: it defined biscuits baked twice in the oven, so they could be stored for long periods of time, which was particularly useful during journeys and wars.

Biscotti were a staple of the diet of the Roman Legions. The word was eventually imported into English as “biscuit”. Biscotti is derived from the word “bis” which in Italian means twice and “cotto” meaning cooked.

Now, you have the background of this delicious morning coffee accompaniment, but how about making some healthy biscotti, Cook Yourself Thin style?

Cook Yourself Thin Book

There are so many reasons that you might want to create a family cookbook. The most obvious reason is so that you can preserve some of the family recipes that have been handed down throughout the generations. The truth is that most of us note down a few recipes on scraps of paper, and these quickly become faded or dirty, tucked away in hard to find places. We might even lose our treasured recipe that our grandma first taught us when you were young. If this is the case, you will never be able to replicate that recipe.

Putting together a cookbook for your family might not be sophisticated. It could just be a collection of loose paper, held together in a binder. However, the truth is that you will most likely use these recipes to recreate your favorite meals time and time again. Food is better than anything else for bringing back those memories of family occasions and celebrations, and those life changing moments.

Creating a cookbook can provide you with a structure in which to record all of these family memories and history. If you like, you can even include photographs to go with your recipes. These might be of family gatherings or those who have contributed to the cookbook. There may also be a number of funny stories to tell, or even family trees that can be added to the book. Looking at the recipes used throughout the generations means we can see how our diet has changed and how much it means in part of our traditions.

It is so much easier now than before to create your own family cookbook. There are a number of different resources available online, as well as software that can help you to organize your recipes. Websites can store your recipes for you, and ultimately help you to create your memorable cookbook.

If you want to create your family cookbook, then here are a few things you can bear in mind to make it a little easier:

Firstly you should choose one family member to be the editor of the cookbook. You can also get others to help review the entries to make it a little less stressful.

Next, you can decide whether to print your cookbook in a hard copy or simply make it as an eBook. It is always nice to have your cookbook printed and bound, as this allows you to get the format exactly right and add in any photos you wish.

Next you should think about how to organize your cookbook. For example, you could choose to organize your cookbook according to the course and the category of food, or you can organize it according to different food groups – even by celebrations, like Easter and Thanksgiving.

There are so many useful resources online that can help you to produce a memorable family cookbook. Try getting a complete package that contains all of the design templates you need, and one that even includes printing options.
