Images of Victorian-era kitchens and cast iron country hearths come to mind at the mention of wood cook stoves. Originally used only in industrial kitchens, smaller models were introduced and have been enjoyed in the home since the 1820s. Regardless of modern mechanics, some traditionalists still utilize these stoves in their kitchens today. Some even claim that their food tastes better when prepared over wood fires than cooked using electric heating or gas fuel.
The invention of wood cook stoves branched from cast iron wood stoves used only for heating. In 1742, Benjamin Franklin invented what is now known as the Pennsylvania Fireplace as an alternative to open fireplaces used in Colonial America. Open fireplaces were not only a more dangerous heating method for the home, but it used a substantial amount of wood for fuel. Over the years, improvements were made to Franklin’s design which eventually led to the development of wood cook or “Step-top” cook stoves, called so because of its tiered shape. These were the first dual-purpose stoves used for cooking and heating.

Cooking with wine and the type of wine being used for the cooking process is a question that is highly debatable, because the dish prepared clearly shows the wine that was used to make it. If the wine was a good quality one it’ll show and if it was a cheap low quality one, it’ll show!. Some people use drinking wines to cook while others use only cooking wines. Of course it must be remembered that a drinking wine can be used to cook, while keeping in mind that you are overspending where not required, but a cooking wine cannot be used to drink., Infact a cooking wine is salty and generally an inferior quality wine as compared to the drinking and is ok only for cooking and for nothing else.
Cooking with wine is as old as wine drinking itself. Infact it is assumed that originally fermented grape juices were used to prepare stews and casseroles and various other dishes.
This fermented grape juice was accidently drunk by a member of a royal family, while he was in his kitchen and he liked it to the extent that a refined and better quality of the same juice was also created for drinking purposes from then on. That drinking juice later came to be known as drinking wine while the one that was used for cooking retained its name as a cooking wine.
As it was mentioned earlier, while purchasing a cooking wine keep in mind that whatever you buy will be reflected in the taste of the dish that is the end result. You can buy wine online. So a cheap quality cooking wine will give a bad tasting dish, and a connoisseur or a sommelier will easily be able to identify the type of wine that had gone into your dish! This does not mean that the higher priced a wine the better it is and the lower priced wine the cheaper It is. It only means that whenever you are purchasing wine for cooking, purchase the same from a reputed store or purchase wine online or go for the recommendations of someone who has bought and used a wine for cooking. Infact person to person recommendations are the best way to ensure that the wine you are purchasing is the best for cooking.
Another thing to remember is that older wines and vintages are usually not recommended for dishes that have a long cooking process. These wines somehow don’t hold up to the actual cooking process and long simmers. When using wines for cooking, especially at a time you are not buying a cooking wine and are using a drinking wine, shop around for bargains on young and powerful wines that have their own taste and mild aromas. These wines hold up well in the cooking process and easily intensify the taste of the dish by several folds! Also remember that a good quality leftover drinking wine can also be used in a recipient that calls for an option of a drinking red wine, white wine, champagne or rose! Read More »

When people are diagnosed with diabetes, the first thing that comes to their mind is the severe restriction that they will have to face in their food. They may have to give up on most of the things that they like to eat. This becomes a very forbidding proposition. However, this is quite a wrong assumption in reality. Agreed that there will be a lot of restrictions in the diet of diabetic persons, and that they will have to eat certain kinds of food only, but that doesn’t mean it is the end of the food tether for them. There are two types of diabetes mellitus, type 1 diabetes mellitus (known as Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, IDDM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (known as Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus, NIDDM). In the first type, people have a genetic problem that prohibits them from manufacturing insulin naturally in their bodies. It’s not their fault; they haven’t caused any damage to their insulin system. However, the food restrictions remain the same. In people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the power of insulin to keep blood sugar in control is affected. When this happens in excess, the body insulin can no longer control sugar and needs a supplement from outside for the body to survive. This is when the person will need insulin supplementation. Now, the person needs to monitor what he or she is eating. In many cases, people overload themselves with a lot of inappropriate food, like too many sweets etc. They need to be wary whether the food is contributing to the blood sugar level or increasing the body fat, which can further hamper the proper metabolism of insulin. That is the cause why food recipes need to be different from normal cooking. Cooking recipes can actually save a patient’s life. This sort of cooking focuses more on fibers and the healthy nutrients and less on the fatty stuff which will accumulate in the body and cause harm. An integral part of this cooking will be to stop oil in the diet as much as possible. In recipe favorite food, healthy and nutritious food definitely scores over palatability. When starting with a diabetic diet, the first real advice would be to visit your dietician. Depending on your body type, he or she will suggest what the right kind of diabetes food for you will be. There are certain foods like bitter gourd and name (Azadirachta indica) which can help to bring the blood sugar level down. Though these are not very appealing to eat, you will need to include them in your diet. Your dietician will tell you in what measure you need to take them. You will also have a lot of delicious options in your healthy recipes. Being with the condition you are, a diabetic diet will give you mental peace. You will have the satisfaction of having started on a healthy way of life. You will be happy you are eating right and actively controlling your health condition. No wonder, doctors handling diabetes believe in the adage ‘control over the palate is the best control over diabetes.’
