Modern cooking, taking into account the experience of the past, uses the achievements of science and technology. It also takes into account the current requirements of the science of rational nutrition.

One of the main and valuable biological properties of grapes is the ability to use solar energy in the most efficient way. As a result, the sugar content in ripe berries is very high - it reaches 30-35%, and even more during withering. Dried grapes, raisins and raisins contain 60-70% sugar.

In this article, we'll turn your attention to pesto. How should it be eaten? With pasta, of course. What else could you eat it with?

“Every man kills what he loves,” wrote Oscar Wilde in 1897. Chances are, Oscar didn't think about pesto or pasta sauces at all. According to Wilde in The Ballad of Reading Gaol, during the Victorian era, pasta was not an affordable product for inmates in prisons.

• If you prefer to cook in deep containers, this can change the taste of the food.
• The shape of the pot or pan greatly affects the cooking process.
• The difference is what exactly we prepare and what methods we use for this.

Many of us remember pictures from childhood, when parents brought home frozen foods from the store - berries, fruits, semi-finished meat products. After thawing, strawberries and raspberries were a rather miserable sight and looked more like berry puree with a rather strange watery taste. As for the cutlets, they simply crawled in the pan due to the soaked breading. It is not surprising, because in those distant times, high-tech equipment for shock freezing did not yet exist in full.

The kitchen is the hearth, the “treasure” of the home, so feng shui experts pay great attention to it.

Any detail of the interior is important in the house, since more than half of the free time is spent here and this is a place not just for rest, but for complete relaxation. In addition, this is a person's personal space and the ability to embody this space to your taste. Each room has its own stylistic load and carries some kind of information about the owner. The kitchen is universal, because it is intended not only for the owner, but also for strangers, for guests who come to homes.

This representative of the marine fauna is considered one of the healthiest and most delicious fish. Because of its high nutritional value, tuna is called "sea beef". This giant fish belongs to the mackerel family and has not only an amazingly delicate, pleasant taste, but also a lot of useful properties. In comparison with its relatives, tuna is distinguished by its large size - about 4 m. For comparison: a white shark - on average 5.5 m. It also surprises with its weight - 680 kg, which is 80 kg more than the minimum mass of an adult white shark.

In light of economic and political problems around the world, the issue of nutrition may soon become very acute. And even if this does not happen, the dishes made from this game are still excellent and highly recommended for consumption. And this has been appreciated by most of the Europeans for a long time. In addition, frog meat has a very low cholesterol content, which is very much appreciated in our country.

Of all the game that is found in Russia, this is probably the most affordable. You don't need a hunting ticket or a license to catch it, and it's much easier to catch frogs than, say, hares. And besides, it is impossible to contract any disease from the meat of frogs, which birds and mammals carry in abundance.
