Poached egg and stay at home

What better time to cook egg than when you are stuck at home. I think egg can be eaten any time during the day; it’s easy and convenient. I used Salt, Fat, Acid, and Heat book suggestion on how to poach an egg. I’m not great at poaching egg, but it worked this time. If you have the book, it’s on page 304. I was limited on ingredients, so I had to get creative. I used spinach, hummus, sliced avocado, and Sauerkraut. I didn’t have the ingredients to make the sauce. I just used a little mustard on the egg. I’m a big fan of mustard vs. Mayonnaise. So, get your creative juices going. You’ll surprise yourself 😊

I’m sure everyone is stuck at home, and what a better way than to spend it watching a documentary about food, especially if you’re food person etc. 🙂

Vegan and vegetarian diets are on the rise in the U.S. as more people are looking for alternative ways to eat healthier. This, in turn, leads to a change in food manufacturing formulations such as clean label ingredients, listing only a few ingredients, and using more plant protein. As Malochleb mentions in ift.org,”The plant-based protein market, estimated at $18.5 billion in 2019, is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0% from 2019 to 2025, to reach $40.6 billion by 2025, according to research by MarketsandMarkets. Public awareness regarding obesity caused by unhealthy food consumption has led to the demand for plant-based protein products.” Villines from Medical News today provides a list of 15 plant-based foods that provide high protein content and nutrients. These include, tofu and its derivatives, chia seeds, mycoprotein, Ezekiel bread, nuts & lentils, Spirulina, Quinoa, chickpea, beans & rice, potatoes, protein rich vegetables like kale, mushrooms, and broccoli.

Fish and Chips — History, Food Science and Recipe

History:

The Guardian provides a picture that sums up the history of this fascinating food. Fish and chips was introduced to the UK, specifically London by Jewish immigrants from Portugal and Spain. In 1860, the Malin family of London and the Lee family of Mossley — near Manchester — served the first dish, which dates back to the 17th Century.
