1. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali discuss kleshas (afflictions), karma, and the eight limbs of yoga - yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi.
2. Karma results in current and future experiences based on past actions. The cause of misery is ignorance, which makes one believe the seer and seen are the same.
3. Following the eight limbs of yoga destroys afflictions and ignorance. Yama includes non-injury, truthfulness, non-stealing, celibacy, and non-possessiveness
The document discusses the virtues of simple cooking. It states that simple meals featuring just a main dish and salad can be as satisfying as elaborate multi-course meals, but are better suited for everyday dining. Simple recipes use few ingredients and basic cooking methods, making them easy to prepare during busy weeks. The key is using pantry staples, seasonal fresh produce, and techniques like one-pot cooking that avoid multiple steps. An example of a simple turkey pasta primavera recipe is also provided.
Luther Burbank studied and hybridized raspberries more than any other horticulturalist. He wrote that raspberries were cultivated in Europe for centuries and grew wild from Greece to Spain. The Romans spread raspberry seeds throughout their empire, as evidenced by archaeological finds of raspberry vines in England. William Prince established the first nursery in the American colonies in 1737, offering raspberry plants for sale. Burbank introduced many raspberry hybrids to American horticulture. Raspberry bushes grow up to 3 feet tall and the berries easily separate from the stem when picked. Raspberries are an important food source for wildlife and are best marketed through pick-your-own operations due to their short shelf
Tiramisu, Italian spelling: Tiramisù; lit. "pick me up" or "lift me up") is an Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers (Italian: Savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone cheese, and flavored with cocoa. The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of puddings, cakes and other desserts.
We all want healthy food on a platter, and healthy food should be appetizing. Fortunately, salads have earned the reputation of being healthy and delicious. The following are some of the popular salad recipes. More healthy Salad Recipes at Gourmandia.
France has diverse geographies and climates that support local ingredients used in French cuisine. French meals range from simple, like bread and cheese with wine, to elaborate multi-course affairs often accompanied by wine and cheese. French cooking is broadly classified into haute cuisine using cream sauces, cuisine nouvelle using lighter methods, and cuisine du terroir focusing on regional specialties.
Finger foods like spinach and artichoke dip with chips or cut vegetables with hummus are inexpensive options to feed a large crowd at a party. Once guests arrive, pass around bacon-wrapped scallops, chicken cordon bleu bites, or gourmet franks in a blanket. For drinks, provide water in pitchers with citrus garnishes and soda in coolers filled with ice to keep drinks cold. A graduation party dessert spread should include a decorated cake in the school's colors with the graduate's name, along with cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and fruit salad for variety.

Drinking beer in moderation has several surprising health benefits. Beer can help reduce the risk of heart disease by making blood less sticky and improving cholesterol levels. It also benefits kidney health by helping to prevent kidney stones. Beer is packed with nutrients like fiber, B vitamins, and silicon that is good for bones. Moderate beer consumption may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and increase brain health by reducing the risk of Alzheimer's and stroke. However, it is important to drink in moderation and have a designated driver.
Onions are a staple ingredient in French cooking and are incorporated into many traditional recipes. The French love onions more than red wine or bread.

Vegetarianism is defined as consuming only plant-based foods and excluding meat, poultry, fish and seafood. Dairy and eggs may or may not be included. A vegetarian diet can confer health benefits like weight loss if done properly, though some prefer not to call it a diet. Those new to a vegetarian lifestyle should seek guidance from a health practitioner to ensure adequate nutrition.
Mothers Day originated from ancient spring festivals honoring mother goddesses in Greek and Roman religions. In the 1600s in England, Mothering Sunday was celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent for children to visit and honor their mothers. In the US in the 1800s, Julia Ward Howe campaigned for a Mother's Day for peace and Anna Jarvis campaigned in the early 1900s to establish a day to honor mothers. Today Mother's Day is celebrated commercially in many countries as a day to honor mothers.

Tomatoes are a fruit botanically classified as part of the Solanaceae family, originating in South America. There are over 7,500 varieties known. While considered a fruit, tomatoes are often cooked and used as vegetables. Tomatoes provide numerous health benefits as they are low in calories and fat but high in nutrients like fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants such as lycopene. Lycopene has been shown to protect against several cancers as well as heart disease and age-related macular degeneration. Cooking tomatoes helps release more lycopene and maintains their nutritional value. Their nutrient composition also helps regulate blood pressure and supports eye, skin, and immune system health.

1. Low-Fat Chicken Recipes
France isn't exactly renowned for low-fat recipes, but here are three classic chicken dishes
specially adapted to provide a healthy, low-fat alternative. They are quick and simpleto
prepare and cook - and they are all delicious!
1: Chicken with Pernod& Saffron
Here's an excellent low-fat chicken recipe using the classic
combination of Pernod, saffron,
garlic, tomatoes and olive oil. The taste is truly sensational!
Mix together one tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, 125ml of
Pernod (or other pastis),
a few strands of saffron and some salt and pepper. Pour this
mixture over eight unskinned
chicken portions and mix well together. Leave for a couple of hours
(or even overnight)
for the flavours to develop.
Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy frying pan.
Take the chicken pieces out
of the marinade and drain well. Add them to the pan. Cook over a
moderate heat, turning once,
until lightly browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Add two finely sliced shallots to the pan and sweat gently until softened but not browned. Then
add 4-5 large tomatoes, skinned, deseeded and roughly chopped, together with 3 crushed cloves
of garlic. Cook all together for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Now put the chicken joints
back in the pan. Add about 400ml of hot chicken stock, plus any left-over marinade. Bring to a
simmer, then lower the heat and cook gently for about 20 minutes.
Check the seasoning. Sprinkle with some finely chopped parsley or tarragon, and serve immediately
with a couple of fresh vegetables of your choice. (Serves 4 people.)
2: Roast Chicken with 40 Cloves of Garlic
Yes, it's a lot of garlic! But you'll be surprised at the delicacy and fragrance of the final taste. If you like, you can blanch
the garlic for a couple of minutes beforehand - but it's not really necessary.
Preheat the oven to180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
Take a large, free-range, farm-reared chicken and season it well inside and out with salt and pepper.
Rub it all over with a little olive oil. (Not too much - this is supposed to be a low-fat recipe!) Put
about 20 unpeeled cloves of garlic inside the cavity, plus a few sprigs of fresh tarragon.
French Recipes
2. Put the chicken in a suitably sized roating tin and strew over another 20
or so unpeeled garlic cloves.
Now add about 200ml hot chicken stock.
Place in the preheated oven and cook for one hour, basting every now
and again with the cooking
juices. Check that the bird is cooked by piercing the thickest part of the
thigh with the point of a
sharp knife. If the juices run clear, it's ready. If they are still a bit pink,
put the bird back in the oven
and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
For a truly low-fat chicken dish, remove the skin of the cooked chicken
(it should come away quite
easily) before serving. Serve the chicken cut into portions with all the garlic cloves popped out of
their skins and scattered around, and the light, aromatic cooking juices poured over. The garlic can
be spread on slices of French bread that have been lightly browned in a low oven and then drizzled
with a little olive oil. Very authentic! (Serves 4-5 people).
3: Supreme of Chicken with Honey & Lime
This is a spectacularly easy dish!
Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark5.
For four people, take four skinned and flattened chicken breasts and season well with salt and
pepper. Lay them side by side in one layer in a shallow ovenproof dish.
Mix together the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons of good-quality runny honey, 2 peeled and crushed
cloves of garlic, a tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves and 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil.
Pour this mixture over the chicken breasts and bake for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven,
basting from time to time with the cooking juices, until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced
with a sharp knife point.
Serve with some plainly steamed fresh vegetables and/or a dressed rocket salad.
How easy is that?
I hope you enjoy these low-fat chicken recipes from France. Chicken can certainly provide a whole range
of healthy, low-fat meals - but only if you take the time and trouble to seek out free-range, farm-reared,
corn-fed, preferably organic birds. Believe me its well worth the hassle!
