Féile na nÚll Menu & Analysis

I had really meant to publish the menu before the event, but ingredient acquisition took more time and effort than expected. In particular, chestnut flour, which I wanted as a thickener for various gluten-free dishes, just could not be found anywhere I tried. I didn't find that out with enough lead time to order it online. Almond flour substituted, and was fine.

Anyway. Here's the full menu, which fed varying numbers of people, but I think about 45 for the feast.

Travellers' Fare (Friday evening): Beef stew with bread and butter (vegan stew on the side, plant butter available, GF bread available).

Saturday Breakfast was produced by the inimitable Lady Meadhbh Rois inghean Uí Chaoimh.

Saturday Lunch: Chicken soup (vegan soup alongside), bread, fruit.

Feast: Roast pork (vegan nut roast on side), Frumenty (rice on side), apple sauce, green sauce, meat pies (mushroom pie on side), creamed leeks (with fake cream), buttered turnips (with plant butter), roasted onions, purple carrots (with plant butter), olives, anchovies, apple pies, blackberry and apple pies (all pies with GF/vegan versions as well, where possible).

Sunday breakfast: Porridge with cream and fruit, stewed apples, boiled eggs, cold ham, and various leftovers, mostly fruit pies.

The emphasis here wasn't on any particular production of period dishes, but on making sure everyone got good solid food. It's also an entirely plausible English Tudor menu, including the frumenty and green sauce as dishes that didn't make it through the Early Modern. As far as I can make out, everyone enjoyed it (although nobody ever tells the cook they didn't). The coeliac and vegan/vegetarian folk expressed particular approval, which was important. Anything I could make GF and vegan was made so (plant butter and almond flour are the two main tricks here).

Gabrielle and Katie were in the kitchen every hour I was, and possibly a few more, and a great deal of credit for the weekend's food being on the tables on time is due to them. Katie also set in, with very limited prior experience, to making pastry for the non-gluten-free pies, and produced some of the best I've ever encountered. She's been designated Head Pastrychef in Perpetuity as a consequence. There were also many other kitchen helpers, who've been thanked appropriately on Facebook. The relevant note here is that we had 4-5 people in the kitchen at most times, which was more than enough, and kept everyone relaxed. The SCA Kitchen playlist (85% mine, 15% Gabrielle's) was also helpful.

So. The first thing that I want to improve is the gluten-free pastry. Making it vegan as well was trivial; replace the lard/dripping with plant butter, and it's absolutely fine. Any fat will do for that, it seems, although since the traditional use for the pastry is the raised pork pie, the meat fats help match the taste. The gluten-free flour, however, could only be persuaded to make a paste, not a pastry - trying to roll it out into sheets simply didn't work. It would take the form of a sheet, alright, but if I went to pick it up, it just broke. An experimental version that Gabrielle and I did before the event could be sort-of lifted into place on baking parchment, but it broke over the contents of the pie. In theory, with a very dense, relatively smooth pie filling (such as a meat pie that's been well-packed), you could get a coherent crust, but I don't know what would happen to that as the contents shrink in baking. Xanthan gum appeared to make zero difference.

So we've some more experimentation to do there. One suggestion is to use an egg or two, which will take it away from being vegan - but a vegan pastry, using plant butter instead, should not be a problem to produce as an ordinary cold pastry. Various things will be trialled.

The green sauce came out particularly well. Órlaith did her usual superlative job of chopping herbs, primarily sorrel and mint, with some basil and thyme, some black pepper, and garlic salt. The liquid base was about 2 parts olive oil to one part white wine vinegar. We only made a small amount, but nearly all of it was eaten. Green sauce is basically a table condiment for the latter end of the SCA period in Western Europe, and I have vague plans to make and bottle some at some stage, to see how it keeps and matures in the longer term.

I made far too much of the frumenty. Bulgur wheat isn't terribly expensive, so I don't feel too bad about it, and the carbohydrates are absolutely the area in which to over-provide. But for my future reference, about 400g of dry bulgur will provide enough for about 30 people without difficulty.

The roasted onions were surprisingly popular. I think we did 11 whole onions, and only one and a half came back to the kitchen.

The meat pies disappeared in their entirety, as far as I can tell. One was a combination of minced pork, minced lamb, and whatever vegetables were to hand; the other was filled with the remnants of Friday's beef stew. I was very pleased to be able to integrate leftovers into the feast; I am completely certain that a rolling use of leftovers in subsequent days' dishes was a standard feature of any period cookery, and we don't often get to do that over a weekend.

The purple carrots were entertaining. I can't detect any difference in taste from orange carrots, but they stain everything they touch a nice shade of purple-blue. I'll get them again if I can just for that.

Overall, I'm pleased with how things came out, and I'll do either of the Arabic or Pre-Norman Irish menus I had partially worked out for next year.

spinach sandwich

because I can't remember if I ever wrote this thing down but the restaurant I worked for that made them closed and I have no idea how common/uncommon this might be as A Thing.

I've talked this sandwich up to friends as being one of my favorite vegetarian sandwiches/something I would willingly choose over meat, and it only seems fair to post it. the recipe can be tweaked in whatever direction you need it to go: vegan, dairy free, gluten free, whatever you want.

you will need:

a relatively big frying pan, possibly two, or a griddle spatula cooking brush cutting board knife some clear counter space near where you're cooking a clean kitchen towel a paper towel about the same size as your kitchen towel, plus extra as needed

ingredients for the Classic Spinach Sandwich:

2 slices marble rye bread 2 slices Swiss cheese ranch dressing margarine, ideally a European butter blend style, melted non-stick cooking spray, or as I like to call it spray grease fresh spinach, a lot some white onion chopped into half-moons some white mushrooms, sliced seasoning salt

prep time!

I'll be writing this under the assumption that you're starting off with all raw ingredients, but at the restaurant we usually had at least some of this prepped ahead of time like the onions.

Preheat your pan(s) or griddle on medium heat. Take this time to prep your onion and mushrooms if you have to slice them. We're not looking for finely chopped on either of these, just sliced into more manageable shapes. I typically cut my onion in half and then slice it into half-circles/half-moons and go for the pre-sliced mushrooms because I'll take what help I can get. If you have to wash your mushrooms, let them dry as much as they can on a paper towel, but don't worry too much about it. The water is gonna get cooked out, so if they're not as dry that just means they'll take a bit longer to cook.

Once the griddle is hot, hit it with just enough spray grease to lightly coat the surface. Put your onions and mushrooms in and let them cook. We want the water from the mushrooms to be mostly evaporated away and the onions to be soft. The more caramelized the better, but don't worry so much about that if you're in a hurry because cooked onions will still be good.

While the onions and mushrooms are cooking, it's time to prep our other stuff. On the nearby counter space, lay out the clean kitchen towel and layer a paper towel on top of it. This will come into play later. Make a spinach sandwich bread setup by taking your slices of marble rye, drizzling a little bit of ranch dressing on the inside of each slice, and topping each with a slice of Swiss cheese. Sandwich these together so you can easily work with them with one hand, reducing mess as the bread will absorb the ranch and the uncooked cheese will keep the pieces from sticking yet.

Once the onions and mushrooms are cooked, we're ready to go!

Using the brush, spread melted margarine on the outside of the bread and set it on the griddle. With one side down, you can spread margarine on the other outside and use your fingers to just flip it off the bread and onto the griddle. Then add the spinach to your onions and mushrooms. We're looking at about 5 minutes of cook time once all the remaining ingredients hit the pan, long enough for the spinach to get good and wilty. Once the spinach is cooked, place the mixture of it in the paper towel.

Carefully fold the paper towel/kitchen towel combo over the spinach mix to form it in a little packet, squaring it off and absorbing excess liquid. This will make it easier to transfer onto the bread without things getting too soggy. Let it sit for a moment as you get the bread off of the griddle. You'll know the time is right because your cheese will be melty.

Open the spinach packet so that the spinach mix is exposed. Place one piece of bread on it cheese side facing the spinach. Carefully pick up the entire thing, folding the towel over the bread to do so if you like. This will help keep everything contained. Then flip it over onto the cutting board. Remove the paper towel/kitchen towel combo and top with the other piece of bread. Cut in half and serve!

Vegan, gluten-free sufganiyot (jelly donuts)

I don't normally (i.e. never) post food recipes, but I'm really proud of this one. As someone who has a lot of dietary restrictions, including some niche ones, I sometimes struggle to get into the holiday spirit. The foods I grew up eating now cause me a lot of physical pain and I feel that separation acutely this time of year. I imagine I'm not the only one.

One food I really miss is the sufganiyot, a.k.a. jelly donuts, that are traditionally eaten during Chanukkah.

So for all of you gluten free and/or vegans people out there, here is a recipe for you! They're not lookers, but they taste great.

Wet ingredients:

1 tbs Active Dry Year

1/2 tbs sugar

2 tbs Olive Oil

1 cup warm water

4 tbs aquafaba (the water from a can of chickpeas)

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Dry ingredients:

3 cups of gluten free flour (I used Bob Red Mill's All Purpose Baking Flour)

1/2 cup of gluten free flour if needed

1/2 cup of powdered sugar

3/4 tsp salt

2 tsp garam masala (optional)

Others:

~1 cup powdered sugar for dusting donuts

~1/2 cup of strawberry jam

Neutral oil for frying. I used canola. The amount will vary depending on the size of your cooking containers, just make sure you have enough oil so the sufganiyot can float off the bottom of the pan.

Instructions:

Mix all of the wet ingredients except vanilla extract, if using (I've always forgotten and put mine in before combining wet and dry mixes, so I don't know what it would do if added at the same time).

Leave standing for 10 minutes or until foaming.

Mix all of the dry ingredients together EXCEPT 1/2 a cup of flour (sifted if possible, if not mix together with a whisk to get rid of clumps).

Once the yeast mixture has foamed, mix in the vanilla extract and then slowly combine with the dry ingredients. It should form a thick batter.

If the batter is too thin, add in flour as needed.

Cover the mixture with a damp, warm towel. Leave to rise for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.

Frying:

In past recipes, I've read to heat the oil up until it is 325 degrees. I don't own a thermometer, so I just heat it up on medium/high heat until a small drop of dough can fry in around 30 seconds.

The dough it going to be very sticky and hard to form. Using two spoons, scoop dollops of dough into the oil. Fry for a few minutes on each side, until the dough turns in to a light brown on one side. Then flip and fry the other side until that is also a light brown.

Once the dough is done, remove from the fryer and place into a bowl with some powdered sugar on the bottom. Using a spoon, coat the entire donut in powdered sugar. Squeeze in the jam while he it is still hot.

Best if served hot, or within a few hours of being made.

Why Quinoa Flour is Your New Gluten-Free Go-To

Quinoa flour is a bit of a newcomer but is already proving to be a popular choice amongst those in the know. For those navigating the world of gluten-free cooking, getting to grips with gluten-free flour can sometimes be a daunting task. Packed with all the goodness of quinoa, this flour is a game-changer for those on a gluten-free diet. In this post, we will explore everything you need to know about this fantastic flour alternative. And, for good measure, throw in some tips about how to use it in your favourite recipes.

Introducing Quinoa Flour

Quinoa may be absolutely everywhere but it turns out that it also happens to make a surprisingly good gluten-free flour. Quinoa flour, made from quinoa grain, is rising in popularity due to its excellent nutritional profile and gluten-free credentials. Made by grinding whole quinoa grains into a fine powder, it has a subtle, nutty flavour and can be used as a direct substitute for wheat flour in many recipes. Its versatility makes it an essential ingredient in gluten-free baking, allowing for the creation of delicious, nutrient-dense food items that cater to the needs of gluten-sensitive and health-conscious individuals alike. Organic quinoa flour Organic quinoa flour, as the name suggests, is derived from organically grown quinoa grains. This means they are cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides, or fertilizers, and are non-GMO, ensuring you get the purest form of this nutritious superfood. By choosing organic quinoa flour, you are not only making a healthier choice for your body but also supporting sustainable farming practices that benefit our environment. Check out our organic quinoa flour

The Nutritional Value of Quinoa Flour

You don't need us to tell you that quinoa is really really good for you, but just in case here's a recap. Rich in Protein Quinoa flour stands out in the world of gluten-free alternatives primarily due to its high protein content. Quinoa is in fact made up of 22% protein. Unlike many other actual grains, quinoa is a complete protein, which simply means it contains all nine of the essential amino acids. Pretty exceptional for a plant-based protein! Each serving provides a substantial amount of protein, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians, vegans, or anyone looking to add more plant-based protein to their diet. Unlike traditional grain flours, this high protein content also contributes to the feeling of fullness, making meals more satisfying and aiding in weight management. This powerful little pseudo-grain is a particularly potent source of the amino acid lysine, which aids in tissue repair. Vitamins and Minerals Quinoa flour is not only protein-rich but packed with a variety of essential vitamins and minerals. It contains significant amounts of B vitamins, a wide spectrum of E vitamins, plus a host of minerals including iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. A  rich source of silica, it can help keep skin strong and elastic. It also has powerful antioxidant properties provided by the E vitamins and flavonoids that appear in high concentrations. Omega-3 and Fatty acids Also rich in essential fatty acids, and particularly anti-inflammatory omega-3s, quinoa flour is a rich source of oleic acid which is thought to help lower LDL cholesterol. Fibre Content A fantastic source of dietary fibre. Fibre not only keeps everything moving along nicely but also helps to control blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. Plus, high-fibre foods like quinoa flour can help to manage weight by promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing overall calorie intake. So, not only does it provide a gluten-free, protein-packed alternative to traditional flours, but can also contribute to digestive health, blood sugar control, and weight management with its high fibre content. Gluten-Free And of course, one of the best things about quinoa is that it is gluten-free. Is Quinoa Low-Carb? Quinoa is often thought to be a great choice for those following a low-carb diet. Yet it is important to understand that while quinoa is lower in carbs than some types of grains, it is not strictly a low-carb food. A cup of cooked quinoa contains around 40 grams of carbs, which is more than the daily intake suggested by some low-carb diets. That being said, it's a complex carbohydrate, which means it digests slower than simple carbs and offers sustained energy without causing a rapid spike in blood sugar. Therefore, while not a low-carb food in the strictest sense, it can still be a healthier choice compared to many other grains and is enjoyed by many people following a balanced, healthy diet.

Cooking and Baking with Quinoa Flour

So, while it is good to know just how nutritional this stuff is, what we really want to know is how to cook with it. Right? We will be looking at these things in more detail over time, but here's a quick overview to get you started. The basics of cooking and baking with quinoa flour In the realm of gluten-free flour, quinoa flour is high in protein and has a high absorption rate. If you remember from our in-depth guide to using gluten-free flours, these flours can be grouped into two categories. These are protein flours and starches. High protein flours often have more pronounced flavours than starches but they do lend strength and elasticity to a bake. Starches, on the other hand, contribute little in the way of flavour yet they add a fluffy light texture to the heavier protein flours. Just as some quinoa can be slightly bitter, but not all, the same goes for its flour. Again, the flavour can range from profoundly earthy to pleasingly nutty. As with most gluten-free flours, this flour is best used alongside other varieties to get the best balance between texture and flavour for your particular recipe needs. That said, your choice of flour will depend very much on what you are making, so there are times when you can directly substitute for all-purpose wheat flour. Substituting quinoa flour in recipes Getting to grips with using gluten-free flour is always a bit of a baptism by fire. Recipes and suggestions should be used as a guideline only, largely because such flours can be wholly unpredictable. There is nothing more frustrating than a tried and tested recipe that does not deliver results. There will be some cases where it is safer to begin with a 1:1 substitution for wheat flour than others. Remember that the protein content makes it denser, and also means it will absorb more water. Gluten is required to build strength, elasticity, and structure into a bake so it is really important in bread making yet can lead to toughness in a pastry. Cakes need little in the way of gluten, yet also require a certain amount of bulk and fluffiness. And then there is flavour. Quinoa flour has a pronounced flavour. If you find that it tends towards bitterness, then it can be toasted in a moderate oven for about 10 to 15 minutes before cooling and using. So, whilst you may not want to make a delicate Victoria sponge with quinoa flour, it could be perfect for that parmesan pastry you have in mind. Or a more robustly flavoured banana muffin. So our advice is to begin with a 1:1 ratio in recipes where it may seem appropriate. Like a pastry or a muffin. If you find it too dry, then use a little less flour, or a touch more liquid. Sauces and batters rely more on the liquid content of the recipe. So substitute your flour slowly, gradually adding more until you reach the desired consistency. Tips for cooking and baking with quinoa flour Test small batches first: Before using quinoa flour in large quantities, consider trying it in smaller recipes. This allows you to understand its unique characteristics and adjust your main recipe accordingly. Blend with other flours: Quinoa flour alone may not suit all recipes. Try blending it with other gluten-free flours to create a balance of flavour and texture. Adjust liquid levels: Quinoa flour tends to absorb more liquid than wheat flour. Keep an eye on your batter or dough and be prepared to add extra liquid if it seems too dry. Store properly: Keep your quinoa flour in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Proper storage preserves the flour's taste and extends its shelf life. Cooked quinoa flour: If the flavour of quinoa flour is too strong, try toasting it in the oven for 10-15 minutes before cooling and using. This can help to reduce bitterness. Use in savoury recipes: Quinoa flour can be a wonderful addition to savoury recipes like flatbreads, pizza dough, or pasta, where its unique flavour can shine. Healthy baking: Use quinoa flour in recipes where health is a priority. It is protein-rich and offers a nutritious alternative to traditional flour. Quinoa flour in bread-making It's a whole other subject, but the protein content of quinoa flour makes it an excellent contender in the gluten-free bread stakes. It will need to be used alongside other flours though so we will explore this more fully at a later date. To sum up, it would certainly seem that even for those without gluten-related disorders, quinoa flour offers a change of pace from traditional flours, allowing for experimentation with diverse, nutrient-rich alternatives in the kitchen.

Hello frenes, i have made a poppy seed cake that's vegan and gluten free. I do it rather often and it always works out well for me :)

I base it on a polish recipe I found that i made to be gluten free but I assume many people don't speak polish and are missing out so I decided to post

The ingredient list

2 cups of flour ( i use 1.5 of some gf mix and half a cup of millet flour but it worked with other ones too, it's just cheaper to do it that way for me and works out :))

2 cups of soy milk or any other vegan milk ( soy however has more texture than for example almond, and we did it with water before but the results aren't as good )

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of groud poppy seeds

1/2 cup oil

1 cup ground or cut up walnuts

1 package of vanilla sugar ( you could add less for sure but I just can't be bothered to keep it and do the whole thing )

2 teaspoons or so of baking powder and a pinch of salt

You could add 0.5 cup of cut up raisons but my friend didn't like them so we didn't use them this time

It's pretty simple really, i mix all the ingredients without the nuts and raisons ( because otherwise you won't get it to be smooth ) and once it is smooth you add the nuts and whatnot (some people like to add some candied orange skins but I usually just don't have any)

It should be like a thicker pancake texture, if it's thin try adding a little more flour.

The batter has to sit for around 15-20 minutes as the poppy seeds kind of expand a tiny bit ( this is a good time to set the oven to 180°) and then you're good to go

Keep in mind that the baking time will differ based on the oven and size of the cake form. This one took around 90 minutes but when I use smaller forms it takes around 50-55 minutes. I use a toothpick type thing to poke the middle and check if it's cooked (if it sticks to it it isn't)

We also put some sugar and more walnuts on top so it would have a little hard top from the sugar ^^

Make sure to cool the cake for 20-25 minutes so you can cut it nicely without it falling apart or falling down.

Smacznego frenes, it's a nice Christmas cake that we bake all year round as it's easy and it works :))

Is There Such a Thing as Gluten Free Granola?

Gluten free granola is just one example of a free-from product where you just think 'Well surely that's obvious". But when it comes to products with certain dietary requirements such as vegan or gluten-free, there is often more to it than meets the eye. In this article, we look at the things you need to consider when shopping for gluten free granola.

Gluten and Granola

The key ingredients in granola generally include grains (including but not limited to oats) some form of sweetener such as honey or brown sugar, and a variety of mix-ins such as nuts, seeds and dried fruits. Finally, many granola recipes include a bit of oil or another form of fat to help achieve that appealing crispy texture when baked. Gluten grains in granola Sometimes your granola may contain one of three gluten-containing grains, such as wheat, rye, or barley, with wheat being the most likely. Usually, it would be in the form of flour to help create those all-important crunchy clusters, or bran to help boost the fibre content. Oats in granola Oats are pretty much non-negotiable in a traditional granola recipe. And whilst oats are fairly benign in terms of gluten content, they may cause sensitivity issues in some people. The first is the possibility of cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains. So unless your oats are certified as gluten free, then they may contain trace amounts of gluten. The second is the contentious subject of gluten proteins in oats. Whilst oats do not contain the same gluten proteins as wheat, they do have their own glutens known as avenins. These have been shown to cause sensitivity in some people. Find out more about this in our article 'are oats gluten free?' Labelling and gluten free certification The final thing to consider is whether your granola carries gluten free certification. For some, it is a choice. For others, such as coeliacs or those with high levels of sensitivity, traces of gluten are a definite deal breaker. It's important to read labels carefully or choose brands that explicitly state they are gluten-free to ensure you're avoiding gluten in your granola. You can find out more about food labelling in our introduction to gluten free food

Gluten Free Granola

Yet thankfully, none of this means that granola is off the menu. Gluten-free granola moves away from traditional ingredients that may contain gluten, focusing instead on elements that offer the same satisfying crunch without the gluten. The base typically includes certified gluten-free oats, a crucial distinction as these oats are carefully processed to ensure there's no cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains. The sweetener used remains the same - honey or brown sugar - and the mix-ins continue to be varied and customizable. Nuts, seeds, and dried fruits are naturally gluten-free and add both texture and flavour. Puffed quinoa or buckwheat groats may also be used for added crunch and nutrition. Again, reading labels or choosing trusted gluten-free brands becomes essential when selecting these ingredients to ensure they have not been processed in facilities where cross-contamination could occur.

Granola without Oats

For those who prefer to avoid oats altogether, there is now a growing number of alternatives that are made without oats. In order to retain the classic characteristic of crunchy clusters no oat granola may contain a gluten-free grain flour such as rice flour, as well as popular alternatives such as quinoa or buckwheat. You might like our award-winning Maple Nut Crunch Gluten Free Granola. Or if your on a Keto Diet then consider one of our Keto Friendly Granola. Our Keto Granolas like Almond Cinamon are also Vegan and Gluten Free Grain free granola And then there is grain-free granola, made without the addition of grains of any kind. These types tend to focus heavily on pseudograins and seeds, as well as dried fruit, and have a looser less clumpy texture. If you are interested in the concept of a grain-free diet, read our article about why going grain-free may be the answer to gluten free. Is Paleo granola gluten free? Yes, Paleo granola is gluten free, and also grain-free. You might like our Crisp Apple Paleo Gluten Free Granola which is grain-free. As we have seen, cereal is not necessarily off the menu for those on a gluten free diet. Why not explore our range of gluten free cereals today?

Are you suffering from Hypothyroidism? How to identify and look for help.

What is the Thyroid and it does?

The thyroid is an organ in the neck responsible for regulating metabolism by controlling the rate of oxygen and calorie conversion to energy. The metabolic rate of every cell in the body is controlled by thyroid hormones, particularly T3. The thyroid produces the hormones T3 and T4 in response to stimulation by thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is produced in the pituitary gland. The thyroid requires iodine and L-tyrosine to synthesize T3 and T4.

Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid does not produce enough thyroid hormone, significantly slowing metabolism. Hypothyroidism has detrimental effects on the body. Fortunately, thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, and T4) can help identify an underlying thyroid condition as well as help direct proper treatment and improve symptoms.

Suboptimal thyroid function is common and can contribute to troublesome symptoms like weight gain and fatigue. Since thyroid hormones influence the metabolic activity of every cell, less-than-optimal thyroid function can profoundly affect the body and the mind.

What are main Signs and Symptoms of Hypothyroidism?

Fatigue

Weakness

Sensitivity to cold

Constipation

Unexplained weight gain or weight loss

Dry skin and hair (and/or hair loss)

Muscle cramps

Depression

If left untreated, hypothyroidism can lead to goiter, cardiovascular disease, and dementia.

What are Conventional Medical Treatments for Hypothyroidism?

Thyroid hormone replacement therapy

Desiccated thyroid extract

The Primary Thyroid Hormones: T4 and T3

Thyroxine, or T4, is produced solely by the thyroid gland and is the more common thyroid hormone in the blood, but triiodothyronine, or T3, is the more biologically active thyroid hormone. T3 is formed by the removal of one of T4’s four iodine atoms. This process is mediated by selenium-dependent enzymes.

T4 is found in the body in two forms: bound and free. Free T4 is not bound to any proteins and is able to enter into body tissues. Bound T4 is attached to proteins that render it biologically inactive. Approximately 99% of T4 in the body is in the bound form.Very small changes in the amount of carrier proteins will affect the percentage of unbound hormones.

High blood levels of T4 typically indicate hyperthyroidism and low levels are associated with hypothyroidism.

Why to look for a nutritionist? Diet plays an important role!!

Because the body needs key nutrients such as iodine to make thyroid hormone, and iodine is relatively uncommon in the standard Western diet, people who follow a salt-restricted diet may become iodine deficient. Vegetarians are also at risk of developing iodine deficiency, especially if they eat food grown in low-iodine soil. Vegans who avoid sea vegetables are also at higher risk.

The upper intake level of iodine for adults is 1,100 mcg per day.

Some foods contain substances that may reduce the utilization of iodine or even reduce TSH function. These include cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and other cruciferous vegetables, as well as millet and soybeans.  For those with hypothyroidism, it may be advisable to consume these raw, foods in moderation. I also recommend avoiding caffeine and gluten and limiting sugar, alcohol, and dairy to help control symptoms.

Some foods and medications may interfere with the absorption or action of thyroid hormone medications. For example, too much dietary fiber can impair absorption of thyroid hormone medication. In addition, walnuts, calcium supplements, coffee, aluminum-containing foods, iron supplements, calcium carbonate, soy, and possibly grapefruit juice may all decrease the absorption of thyroid hormone prescriptions.

So which Nutrients Support Thyroid Health?

Nutrients such as iodine, selenium and zinc help support thyroid function.

Consult your physician and nutritionist today to find better holistic approaches to manage hypothyroidism! Don’t waste your quality of life.

The End of Our Journey - A Reflection on Pizza and More

What a journey, right? I can't believe this project has come to an end! It feels like it lasted only a moment, on the other hand, I am well aware a few weeks passed, it's kind of funny. During this project, we visited so many restaurants, with so many different kinds of pizza, and with many different aesthetics, different interpretations of this supposedly simple meal… I think throughout the whole span of this blog, I noticed some important aspects of these restaurants that I believe are important to share!

~ Alex.

There are many aspects, and criteria of sort, by which our group, so me as well, of course, considered these restaurants and decided if we liked them or not. However, I think it goes further than that. After all, the subjects which we covered can't just be equaled to likes/dislikes, as they're deeper than that.

Say, dietary restrictions related to the menus; I am not a person with a celiac disease, so I don't need to search through the menus carefully, because if I pick a wrong dish, it will make me seriously sick. Still, few restaurants that we visited had such information, or we had to figure it out based on the ingredients, which isn't even always safe! Something that I think more restaurants should took into consideration, is clearly marking their options according to particular diets (not only gluten-free, but also lactose-free, vegan, vegeterian, and etc.), due to the safety of their customers. I think it would be highly appreciated by everyone, as well as would make things simply easier! After all, it can't be that hard, right?

Another thing I wondered about, and which I think should be considered, is accessibility of these restaurants. Even though decor is important and it's really nice to sit in a gorgeous restaurant, eating delicious food, it would also be nice if these were accessible to as many people as possible, and sadly mobility was sometimes the issue in the places we visited. I don't mean that from the standpoint of correcting every single place I went to over the course of the past month (and more), what I'm trying to say is, if these restaurants can, they could make the interior more spacious, simply by changing the placement of a few tables, or could inform of the amount of space the restaurant has to offer (and in what way!)! This could be very useful to people struggling with mobility on daily basis.

What I also mean by the restuarants' accesibility is financial accessibility - not everyone can afford to go to a good, italian restaurant or just a pizza place that often, and to some of them even at all. I think it's important to talk about this, and I believe we should have focused on this aspect more - especially that we visited restauarants that were both great and easily affordable!

The last thing I wanted to mention is the approach of these restaurants to the culture of making pizza, and along those lines, that of Italy. Some of the restaurants we visited leaned into the "italian aesthetic" more than the others, some decided to go for their own, unique design, and some seemed to overlook it for the sake of simply developing their own, recognizable pizza-look that would invoke both them and the aesthetic in some strange, yet attention-grabbing way. I wanted to mention that, because this marks a, very intriguing to me, form of appreciating cultures of pizza and Italy, in a way!

(One last thing I hope for is that these don't sound too judgemental, I'm only trying to share my thoughts; hence, if you have any insight into this discussion you're invited to share it here <3.)

So, I think this food blog-project was a huge success for us! Thank you to every person reading this for being on this journey with out group. Goodbye, I wish you a good day/night, filled with pizza of all kinds to the very brims, wherever you are, haha <3.

Beyond Grains: Exploring the Power of Quinoa Pasta

For generations, pasta has been synonymous with comfort food, offering endless possibilities for flavor combinations and culinary creativity. But with growing awareness of dietary needs and a desire for healthier options, alternative flours are gaining traction in the pasta world. Enter quinoa pasta, a unique and versatile option that brings a world of protein and potential health benefits to your plate.

Quinoa: From Ancient Seed to Modern Wonder Food:

Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is an ancient seed native to the Andes Mountains of South America. This tiny powerhouse has gained recognition as a superfood due to its impressive nutritional profile. Now, this versatile seed is making waves in the culinary world, taking the form of delicious and nutritious quinoa pasta.

A Textural Twist and a Nutty Delight:

Quinoa pasta boasts a distinct character compared to its wheat cousin. It possesses a slightly springy texture and a subtle, nutty flavor that adds a unique dimension to your favorite pasta dishes. This textural contrast is delightful, adding an interesting bite to each mouthful.

Beyond Delicious: Unveiling the Potential Benefits of Quinoa Pasta:

The benefits of incorporating quinoa pasta into your diet extend beyond its exciting taste:

Complete Protein Source: Unlike most plant-based protein sources, quinoa is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids your body needs. This makes it an excellent protein source for vegetarians and vegans.

High in Fiber: Similar to other alternative flours like oats and buckwheat, quinoa boasts a high fiber content. This contributes to healthy digestion, promotes satiety, and helps maintain sustained energy levels.

Gluten-Free: Like buckwheat and other gluten-free flours, quinoa pasta is naturally gluten-free. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, allowing them to enjoy pasta without any gluten-related concerns.

Rich in Essential Nutrients: Quinoa pasta is a good source of various essential nutrients, including iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. These nutrients play crucial roles in various bodily functions, contributing to overall health and well-being.

Embracing Versatility: Cooking with Quinoa Pasta:

The beauty of quinoa pasta lies in its adaptability. It readily integrates with various cooking styles and sauces, just like traditional pasta. Here are some ways to incorporate quinoa pasta into your meals:

Light and Fresh: Combine quinoa pasta with a light sauce like pesto or marinara and fresh vegetables for a refreshing and healthy summer meal.

Hearty and Comforting: Toss cooked quinoa pasta with a creamy tomato sauce, vegetables, and your favorite protein for a satisfying and wholesome dish.

Asian-Inspired Delights: Explore Asian-inspired flavors by using a stir-fry sauce or a peanut sauce with cooked quinoa pasta and your favorite vegetables for a quick and flavorful meal.

Cold Salads: Similar to other alternative flour pastas, quinoa pasta adds a satisfying and slightly chewy texture to cold pasta salads, making them perfect for warm weather picnics.

Finding the Perfect Quinoa Pasta:

Quinoa pasta is becoming increasingly common, but it might not be readily available in every supermarket. Explore health food stores or online retailers offering a wider selection of gluten-free options. Look for brands that use whole grain quinoa flour to maximize the fiber content and reap the full nutritional benefits.

Cooking Tips for Quinoa Pasta:

Cooking quinoa pasta requires slight adjustments compared to traditional pasta:

Follow package instructions: Similar to buckwheat pasta, the cooking time for quinoa pasta might differ slightly from regular pasta, so always refer to the package instructions for specific details.

Start with al dente: Aim for an al dente texture as overcooked quinoa pasta can become mushy.

Rinse gently: You can gently rinse the cooked quinoa pasta under warm water to remove excess starch and prevent sticking.

Conclusion: Quinoa Pasta - A Protein-Packed and Flavorful Option

Quinoa pasta transcends the realm of a simple dietary alternative. It offers a unique nutty flavor, an exciting texture, and potential health benefits like being gluten-free, high in fiber, and a complete protein source. Whether you're seeking healthier pasta options, exploring new culinary territories, or searching for a delicious way to increase your protein intake, quinoa pasta is worth a try. So, next time you're looking for a satisfying and potentially beneficial meal option, consider giving quinoa pasta a chance!

This approach involves incorporating rice into your diet strategically to help you achieve your weight loss goals. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the intricacies of the Rice Method, exploring its effectiveness, benefits, potential drawbacks, and how to implement it successfully into your lifestyle.

What is the Rice Method for Weight Loss?

The Rice Method For Weight Loss revolves around the strategic consumption of rice to promote weight loss. At its core, this method harnesses the nutritional benefits of rice while controlling portion sizes and overall caloric intake. Rice, particularly varieties like brown rice, is a staple food in many cultures and is rich in carbohydrates, which serve as a primary energy source for the body. However, the Rice Method emphasizes portion control and mindful eating to prevent excessive calorie intake.

How Does the Rice Method Work?

At its core, the Rice Method operates on the principle of calorie restriction coupled with nutrient density. Rice, particularly varieties like brown and wild rice, offers complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy and satiety. By controlling portion sizes and incorporating lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats alongside rice, individuals can create balanced meals that support weight loss while ensuring adequate nutrition.

Key Benefits of the Rice Method:

Simplicity: 

The Rice Method simplifies meal planning and portion control, making it accessible to individuals of all dietary preferences and lifestyles.

Satiety: 

Complex carbohydrates in rice contribute to feelings of fullness, reducing the likelihood of overeating and snacking between meals.

When paired with a variety of complementary foods, rice forms the foundation of balanced meals rich in essential nutrients.

Versatility: 

The Rice Method allows for flexibility in meal preparation, accommodating different culinary styles and preferences.

Long-Term Sustainability: 

Unlike restrictive fad diets, the Rice Method promotes sustainable eating habits that can be maintained over the long term, supporting not only weight loss but overall health and well-being.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

1. Is the Rice Method suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease?

Yes, the Rice Method can be an excellent option for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, as rice is naturally gluten-free. However, it's essential to ensure that other ingredients and condiments used in meal preparation are also gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.

2. Can I still enjoy a variety of foods while following the Rice Method?

5. Are there any potential drawbacks or limitations to be aware of when following the Rice Method?

While the Rice Method offers many benefits, it's essential to approach any dietary change with awareness. Some individuals may find that consuming large quantities of rice leads to spikes in blood sugar levels, especially if they have insulin resistance or diabetes. Additionally, relying solely on rice without incorporating a variety of other nutrient-rich foods may result in deficiencies over time. It's crucial to practice moderation, balance, and variety to optimize the healthfulness of the Rice Method. Consulting with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian can provide personalized guidance based on individual health needs and goals.

The Rice Method offers a practical and accessible approach to weight loss, harnessing the nutritional benefits of rice while emphasizing portion control and mindful eating. By incorporating rice into a balanced diet and adopting healthy lifestyle habits, you can achieve your weight loss goals and improve overall well-being.

How Do You Make Raw Vegan Keto Gluten-free Blueberry Biscotti?

This recipe is as fun to make as it is to eat! 

First, you'll make your grain free base. Start by blending walnuts, hemp seeds, coconut, and greens powder in your food processor until a dough-like consistency is achieved. Then, infuse this dough with the zest of lemon juice and vanilla stevia and a pinch of salt to give the biscotti a touch of zing. If you don't have vanilla stevia, simple use stevia and add some vanilla extract. If the dough becomes too runny, fear not! Simply add some fine, shredded coconut or coconut flour. Put everything into a large bowl, then gently fold in chopped blueberries to add a burst of sweetness and a pop of color to your biscotti. 

Shape the dough into your preferred biscotti shapes or flatten it into a pan with parchment paper and use cookie cutters to create fun shapes. You can also shape the dough the traditional way; shape into long logs, use a sharp knife to cut into the lengths you desire, then squish to form the biscotti. Once your creations are ready, pop them into the dehydrator on low to dry until they achieve the perfect crunchy texture.

Voila! You're now the proud creator of your own batch of delicious Gluten-free, Vegan Blueberry Biscotti, ready to be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. Enjoy one now, and save the rest in an airtight container.
