Preheat oven to 180°C gas. Butter the bottom and sides of a 23x33 cm baking dish. Toss nuts with cinnamon set aside. Unroll filo pastry.

Repeat until you have 8 sheets layered. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of nut mixture on top. Top with two sheets of filo, butter, nuts, layering as you go. The top layer should be about 6 to 8 sheets deep. Using a sharp knife, cut into diamond or square shapes all the way to the bottom of the dish. Bake for about 50 minutes until baklava is golden and crisp.Make sauce while baklava is baking: Boil sugar and water until sugar is dissolved. Add honey and lemon peel. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool. Remove lemon peel and discard. Remove baklava from oven and immediately pour cooled sauce over it. Let cool.

Ingredients

2 cups or 500 ml goat milk⅓ cup or up to ½ cup white sugar ½ tsp. vanilla extract or ¼ tsp. bourbon vanilla powder one cinnamon stick pinch of salt ¼ tsp. baking soda 2 tbsp. whole fat cow milk2 quarts or 1.90 litre goat milk 2 cups white sugar 1 tbsp. vanilla extract ¾ tbsp. bourbon vanilla powder one cinnamon stick1 tsp. baking soda 2 tbsp. whole fat cow milk

Preparation

Pour the goat milk, sugar, salt, vanilla and cinnamon into a large heavy pot and bring to a light boil over medium heat. Stir to make sure all of the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat. In a separate bowl mix the cow milk and baking soda until the baking soda has dissolved. Remove pot from burner, pour baking soda mixture into the goat milk, stirring fast, be careful because the liquid will quickly froth and overflow. Stir until the bubbles have subsided then turn the heat to medium and bring the pot back to the heat. Continue to cook the goat milk mixture, stirring very frequently because the mixture may bubble and pour over the pot. After another 20-30 minutes the mixture should begin to a darken and start thickening into a thick sauce consistency. Continue simmering and stirring frequently until the mixture turns a dark caramel colour and coats the wood spoon, this may take another 20-40 minutes depending on liquid left in the pot. The cajeta should the same consistency as maple syrup. Pour into a jar and allow to cool completely. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. The cajeta will keep fresh in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. The cajeta taste best if warmed up a little bit.

Preparation

Scrub the potatoes well, then cut into 1/4" thick batons. Dry thoroughly with paper towels and leave them sitting on paper towels to allow the surface of the potatoes to dry out for about 30 minutes. Mix the flour, corn starch, paprika and onion powder in a medium bowl until well combined. Dust each fish fillet with the flour mixture on all sides. Add 1 1/2" of vegetable oil to a heavy bottomed pot and heat to 330°F. Line a 2 wire racks with 2 layers of paper towels each. Fry the potatoes in batches until a light tan colour and the edges are just starting to brown. Transfer the fried chips to one prepared rack to drain. When the potatoes are done frying, add the baking powder to the flour mixture and whisk together. Then add the cold beer to the flour mixture and lightly whisk together. It's okay if there are still a few lumps, just make sure you do not over-mix the batter or it will end up heavy. Dip the fillets in the batter and fry them in batches. Flip the fillets over with tongs when you see the edges start to turn light brown. Transfer to the second prepared rack as they finish frying. When the fish is done frying, increase the heat of the oil to 375°F. Fry the chips a second time until they are golden brown and crisp. Drain on a rack and sprinkle with salt. Fry the fish a second time at the higher temperature until golden brown. Drain on a rack. Serve the fish and chips with lemon wedges or vinegar.

SIAMO QUELLO CHE MANGIAMOE’ proprio vero: ”siamo quello che mangiamo”, perché una buona alimentazione può giovare molto alla salute, può inoltre prevenire molte malattie di tipo alimentare ad esempio il diabete e il colesterolo alto. L’alimentazione è un diritto primario che dovrebbe essere garantito fin dalla nascita e un bisogno primario che spasso non è soddisfatto nel migliore dei modi. L’alimentazione è una fase importante della vita dell’essere umano. Gli alimenti sono costituiti da sostanze complesse che l’organismo digerisce e trasforma in sostanze più semplici utilizzabili dal corpo umano.

I NUTRIENTI FONDAMENTALII nutrienti fondamentali si dividono in macronutrienti: che apportano energia e calorie:proteine, carboidrati, grassi e micronutrienti che non apportano energia, ma contribuiscono al mantenimento della salute e sono: vitamine, sali minerali e acidi nucleici. Soffermiamoci a parlare dei macronutrienti:le proteine hanno funzione strutturale quindi contribuiscono alla formazione di massa magra. Assumere troppe proteine è dannoso per i reni. Si trovano nelle carni, nei legumi e nella soia.I carboidrati forniscono all’organismo energia pronta (che non deve subire trasformazioni prima di essere utilizzata) e si trovano nella pasta e nei cereali.I grassi funzionano da riserva di energia. Esistono grassi liquidi che sono più leggeri: olio di qualità e grassi solidi che sono più pesanti: burro e oli di bassa qualità (molto dannosi).

UNA CORRETTA ALIMENTAZIONE

La corretta alimentazione è quella che, tenendo conto dell’età, del sesso e del tipo di attività, soddisfa il fabbisogno calorico giornaliero dell’individuo. La dieta è molto varia, essa dipende dalla cultura e dall’ambiente in cui vive ogni popolazione. Lo studio della dieta umana ha prodotto lo sviluppo di una vera e propria dieta alimentare. La scienza della nutrizione è in continua evoluzione e l’acquisizione di nuovi dati fa si che la dieta corretta venga periodicamente aggiornata.
