California Man Launches Kickstarter to Promote Kitchen Safety

California Man Launches Kickstarter to Promote Kitchen Safety Invents Oven Mitt That Allows Dexterity and Promotes Safety

Santa Clarita, CA, September 17, 2014, Nearly 350,000 people annually are victims of scalding or burns from accidents that occur while cooking, either on the grill or in the kitchen. Most involve saucepans or tea kettles. Many could be eliminated by using a proper padding device on the hands when touching pans that have been heated. Many hot pads just aren’t made for high temperatures or kitchen dexterity when cooking. This can create more safety issues and actually create harm where they were supposed to bring assurance. One California man, Marcelo Garcia, has created a different kind of oven mitt built for safety and dexterity and has launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring this kitchen must have to the cooking masses that work well for anyone working in the kitchen, from beginner to Iron Chef.

Ulta-Mitt, as it is called, is a 3-Finger mitt constructed from neoprene that is waterproof and heat resistant making it great for indoor or outdoor use. The 3-Finger design allows for more dexterity than an ordinary oven mitt, offering both style and function with users able to have the ability to grab a lid from a hot pan, pick up a hot coffee cup from the microwave or work with small gadgets required while cooking in the kitchen. The neoprene material is also non-slip for a better grip.

This must have kitchen item also comes with a matching neoprene hot pad, which can double as a jar opener for those hard to open lids.

Perks for sponsors include sets of the gloves at manufacturer’s discounts and ahead of their proposed scheduled appearance in stores appearance and for some lucky investors, a complete Healthy eating wooden handle wok cooking set. For those that can’t give, the inventor hopes they will share this story to make the campaign viral through social media.

Enhance Your Cooking Experience with Cooktorial iPhone Application

WEBST Consulting S.A., a mobile application developer, proudly announces the launch of its new project, «Cooktorial», available for iPhone and iPod Touch. Cooktorial is a recipes application, mainly addressed to the novice cook, although it can be of value to the more skilled cook as well, given that its main idea is to suggest what can be cooked based solely on the ingredients already available at home.

In fact, the main attribute setting Cooktorial apart from the rest of the cooking applications available on App Store is that, using Cooktorial, one can browse recipes which can be cooked using ingredients they already have, instead of finding a recipe which will, almost certainly, require a visit to the super-market. Cooktorial implements an easy-to-use interface, a database of over 1.000 recipes, images and thorough description of each recipe, as well as providing the user with the option of filtering the results by preparation time, cuisine type and difficulty level.

Furthermore, with a single tap the user can generate a list with the most commonly found ingredients, which can be easily edited and will be automatically stored for future use.

Last but not least, using Cooktorial does not require an internet connection, allowing thus the user to browse recipes without the use of a 3G or a Wi-Fi network. Cooktorial is a Free application available on Apple’s App Store. Users may enhance it by purchasing any of the two available In Apps, allowing them to perform unlimited number of searches within the app and to remove the Ads.

FoodTV Promotes Prudent Portions

With obesity rates rising, it is more important than ever that people eat healthily and take enough exercise. That is why FoodTV provide hundreds of simple and nutritious recipes, as well as demonstration videos to view online. However, when you begin to experiment and create your own dishes you shouldn’t forget the advice gained from FoodTV.

foodtvimage.jpg (400×300)

Every meal should include a variety of vegetables, carbohydrates and protein. You should also follow these tips for simple portion control:

Pasta
When cooking dried spaghetti, you should prepare a small handful for each person. Obviously this won’t work with some of the numerous varieties of pasta – a handful of penne pasta is not the same as a handful of tagliatelle.

Instead, a 230 gram serving of pasta is roughly the same size as a tennis ball. To make your pasta dishes even healthier, choose the wholegrain option.

Meat and fish
Both meat and fish are great sources of protein. However, nutritionists recommend you limit your intake of red meat, such as beef or lamb.

An average serving of meat should be about the same size as a deck of cards or a chequebook. A serving of fish – which is high in Omega 3 – should be about the same.

Vegetables
Whenever possible you should steam vegetables, as this means they will retain more of their nutrients. A 115 gram serving of cooked vegetables should be around the same size as an orange.

Dried fruit
While dried fruit will last much longer than fresh, it has around five times the calories by weight. To make sure you don’t overindulge, you should remember that a single serving of dried fruits should be about the same size as an egg or a golf ball.

Salad dressing
There is no need to add spoonfuls of dressing to add life to a salad. Instead, a drizzle of about five grams (roughly the size of your thumbnail) should be sufficient.

FoodTV provides hundreds of hours of online food-related videos, as well as easy recipes, budget cooking and drinks for all ages. Users can share recipes through the FoodTV community.

Cook Your Way To Wellness DVD, Created By Maria Atwood, Demonstrates The Preparation Of Nutrient Dense Foods

Maria Atwood, Eastern Plains of Colorado Weston A Price Chapter Leader, is now offering the 90 minute DVD “Cook Your Way to Wellness” with the “Tell Me More” supplemental booklet to the general public. This DVD sold out after being viewed by hundreds of natural health practitioners at a recent Standard Process West convention in Colorado.

Maria Atwood CNHP, herself a former vegetarian, credits following Sally Fallon-Morrell’s leadership with the health she now enjoys. Maria created “Cook Your Way to Wellness” to use as a demonstration tool to help her teach traditional food preparation to others at her Weston A Price chapter meetings. Although these foods can be made by reading “Nourishing Traditions Cookbook” written by Sally Fallon-Morrell & Mary Enig PhD, “Cook Your Way To Wellness”, which has been praised for it’s easy to follow format, gives a welcome visual presentation to the mysterious sounding foods such as Kefir, Fermented Vegetables and other Nourishing

Traditions recipes. After watching her DVD people have commented that they have the confidence they need to tackle these new skills of fermentation, kefir making, beet kvass, jerky making (following the traditions of her Piute Indian grandmother) and kombucha tea. The ease with which she prepared these foods, one step at a time, exemplifies that all people can prepare these truly life giving foods for themselves.

Owning the “Cook Your Way to Wellness” DVD is akin to having a traditional cooking seminar in your own living room. Maria feels strongly that these teachings have changed many people’s lives by reintroducing them to the simple, whole diet of our ancestors, and which may truly restore us to a life filled with strength and vitality. In “Cook Your Way to Wellness” both newcomers and seasoned cooks unfamiliar with fermenting will understand how easy it is to prepare these marvelous foods. Both the Nourishing Traditions, The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats, and “Cook Your Way to Wellness” are available at Maria Atwood’s website:http://www.traditionalcook.com Additionally, Maria has added a superior stoneware baking line of cookware, cutlery, fermented cod liver oil, high vitamin butter, and diatomaceous earth, which she considers an intricate part of her personal diet. A future mail-order catalog will be available soon.

Cook Your Way to Wellness and the supplemental “Tell Me More” booklet, is a seminar that could easily cost several hundred dollars if given in person, but is now available for only $42.95. Free shipping, and sold only within the contiguous USA. Order on-line at http:www.traditonalcook.com or send check or money order to: Maria Atwood CNHP, P.O. Box 355, Burlington, CO 80807.

Maria Atwood, CNHP, is a Certified Natural Health Professional, traditional foods teacher and natural health advocate. She accepted the responsibility of chapter leader in the Eastern Plains of Colorado in order to further the work of the Weston A. Price Foundation and Dr. Weston A Price’s life long goal which are summed up by his dying words: “You Teach, You Teach, You Teach”. Her personal specialty is teaching others the benefits of nutrient dense and traditional foods.

Alimentum Makes The Sunday Telegraph Top 50 Summer Restaurants List

Alimentum Restaurant in Cambridge, renowned for its affordable, ethical, award-winning food was placed runner up in the prestigious Observer Food Monthly Best Restaurants in Great Britain Awards recently, joining The Fat Duck at Bray in the Southern area selections. Moro in London took the overall prize – as voted by readers of the Guardian / Observer titles.

The online review says simply “Gorgeous menus using organic and locally sourced produce.”

And in August The Sunday Telegraphs Jasper Gerard voted Alimentum one of his top 50 summer restaurants in the UK after dining at the restaurant in July

“…This French classic is rarely executed with much panache in England, but this is as delicious as I’ve tasted… there is plenty of gastro promise here and I heartily recommend it.”
– Jasper Gerard, The Telegraph

Speaking about the influential recognition the restaurant has achieved of late, owner John Hudgell commented “This is just superb recognition of all that we are striving to achieve at the restaurant. To be placed as a runner up alongside Heston Blumenthal and his team has made everyone here feel a little bit special – and rightly so! And Jasper Gerard doesn’t pull any punches either so we’re obviously doing lots of things right.

August has been quite a month for us as we’ve also just received news that we’ve been shortlisted for another RSPCA Award – having picked up the Innovation Award in 2008 we have this year been nominated in the Independent Restaurant category and are looking forward to the awards night on October 7th.
