Orange Cream Cake/ Tort de Portocale

This is one of my favorite dessertst is light, creamy, fresh




Ingredients:
 - Four egg yellows
 - One cup of sugar
 - Two cups of heavy whipped cream
 - Five or six oranges
 - One lemon
 - One cup of milk
 - Two teaspoons of vanilla essence
 - Two packages of gelatin (7 grams each)
 - 150 grams of ladyfingers


Preparation:
 - To start, place a deep (preferably metal) bowl in the freezer: we need it cold to prepare the whipping cream.

 - If you're starting with whole eggs, then separate the yellows from the whites. We won't be using the whites for this recipe - feel free to use them to prepare a healthy omelette or another dessert (how about a Raspberry Foam?).

 - Whisk the yellows with the sugar, then mix with the milk and juices from a lemon and an orange until uniform. Place in a pot on medium heat, and bring to a boil while stirring frequently. The milk loves to bubble up and make a mess on the oven, so keep an eye on it.

 - Meanwhile, mix the gelatin in three tablespoons of water, and let stand for two or three minutes. Add a quarter of a cup of hot water, and mix thoroughly until all the gelatin has dissolved. Pour over the hot milk in the pot, and stir until uniform. Remove from heat, and let cool until it thickens. I usually place the pot in an ice water bath until it reaches room temperature, then transfer the pot to the fridge. We're looking for pudding-like consistency.

 - While the hot mixture is cooling off, you have time to whip the heavy cream. Remove the previously chilled bowl from the freezer. I use a mixer on high speed, and it takes less than 5 minutes to start seeing peaks forming. Add the vanilla essence, and mix until you can easily remove the whisk out of the cream and there is no dripping. Place the whipped cream in the fridge until it is needed. As a note, proper whipped cream could have also used three or four tablespoons of powdered sugar (added in at the same time as the vanilla). But we will combine the whipped cream with the milk mixture, which already has plenty of sugar, so we can skip on adding extra sugar to the whipped cream.


 - Once the milk mixture has reached a pudding-like consistency and the whipped cream is ready, we can go to the final steps of the preparation. We will use a large pot, and we will flip the cake upside down when firm; so whatever goes to the bottom of the pot will become to top of the cake. Coat the pot with a bit of oil, then stretch a layer of plastic foil all around: this will help us flip over the cake without any pieces sticking to the pot. Also, make sure the plastic foil extends past the top of the pot - this will help remove it once we flip the cake over.

 - Extract the juice from one orange and set separately. Feel free to add a splash or rum or amaretto to the orange juice, if you feel adventurous.

 - Peel and slice the remaining oranges, then place them on the bottom and along the side of the pot. This will bring beautiful fresh orange accents to the presentation (see photo above).

 - Once the previous step is ready, quickly combine the chilled milk mixture with the whipped cream. Place about half of it over the orange slices. Dip half of the lady fingers in orange juice, the place the over the cream close to one another. Gently press them in. Continue with another layer of cream, and one more of lady fingers (also dipped in orange juice). Make sure this final layer is pressed into the cream such that it is as flat as possible: remember that we will flip the cake over, and the cake might break if its bottom has ridges.

 - Cover the cake pot with a layer of plastic foil, and refrigerate overnight.


Presentation:
 - For presentation, we will first flip the cake over. Start by removing the top layer of plastic foil. Pick a nice flat plate, place it centered and faced down over the cake pot, then quickly flip the pot over. 
The final step is to carefully remove the remaining plastic foil.

 - I love the presentation in and of itself: a clean white cake with beautiful orange accents.

 - A few flowers can further add a nice touch of color to the presentation.

Supplement Foods Growing in Popularity

 Natural lemon, peach, raspberry or cinnamon flavored alkaline drinks are made with water, real

lemon juice extract, real peach juice or rasberry, and a few herbal ingredients you probably don't

recognize. Researching behind the nutrition fact label we find that these natural plant ingredients

contain valuable nutrients found in whole foods, plus live enzymes and powerful antioxidants. When

properly processed at lower temperatures, live enzymes in whole foods make it easier for your cells
to absorb the nutrients. As an extra bonus, the natural alkaline properties of the food grade herbs add
balance to all those acid-forming foods and drinks most people consume every day.

In the examples above, you clearly see a choice between a sports drink that is more likely to tear your
body down, or a naturally alkaline health drink that will build your body up. They cost about the
same, the flavors are real fruit vs. artificially enhanced and the health benefits are vastly different. It seems easy to make the sensible selection. However, many people are confused by all the hype, and by all the brightly colored bottles or lack of real information on those intoxicating nutrition fact labels. Instead of honest nutrition facts, the marketing geniuses for those sexy sport drinks tell you how cool you will be if you drink their super exciting, "enhanced", neon power-charged energy drinks.

In this revved up world most people want to get in, get out and get a boost. When feeling tired, it's easy to grab something you have been led to believe is good for you. In reality, you may be doing


more harm than good. Fortunately, now you know better.

Understanding more about what you eat and drink makes it easier to motivate your self toward better choices. You can see through the TV eye candy and take a few minutes to do some research. Once
you look behind the hype you quickly learn why naturally alkaline health drinks are far better for you
than all those brightly colored vitamin waters, mood boosting energy drinks and junk food sport drinks.

Cliff Smith, as owner of an online health food store, shares his valuable research on natural health drinks. His Free Alkaline Food Test is a must for anyone who wants to know about the benefits of

consuming more alkaline foods and alkaline drinks for optimum health. Cliff has been helping others achieve fitness goals and natural weight loss since he lost 30 pounds in 30 days by changing to a naturally low carb, high fiber diet that focuses on maintaining proper pH balance

The Best Foods For Young Athletes

The connection between nutrition and athletics has been well documented, but good nutrition is almost practice. It is not uncommon for a young athlete who has a burger and fries before a big game and think nothing of it. But the correlation between optimal performance and optimal diet for young athletes was established long ago. It is not surprising that the optimal athletic performance requires adequate food and nutrients, tailored to the individual and the sport of person too. Many young athletes today generally gravitate toward eating habits that are not only unhealthy, but that decrease your chances of getting optimal performance. If this is the case with your son or daughter, it may be time to try a different approach.

The daily intake of calories for each young athlete should be compatible with the sport they play, their sex and age, and their size and shape. Even children in Aspen, where there may be many sports in warm weather all year round, need sufficient ski and snowboard energy. Young athletes, even more than a normal young, need more energy and calories to their growing bodies. If a young athlete has very few calories it takes for the body to grow, it could even be harmful to their bodies. It is said that the average girls and children under 13 athletes need about 2000-2300 calories per day, while girls May 14 to 18 need about 2400 to 2500. But it is not surprising that the body of the young man is growing at a rapid pace, the young athlete needs more calories to keep up. The average calorie intake for a young male athlete of 14 to 18 is about 3200 calories per day.

Now, just because the young athlete needs more calories than a normal person, it does not mean that all calories are good. Carbohydrates are the best source of nutrition for young athletes. Carbohydrates are rapidly broken blood sugar (glucose), which is the primary energy source for the body. The brain, nervous system, and largely all muscles are fed mainly by glucose. Inadequate intake of carbohydrates can cause fatigue, low energy levels, not to mention the less than optimal performance. It is important that the parent knows, however, an adequate intake of carbohydrates compared to other foods. Carbohydrates should represent about 60% of feeding your young athlete with starches and grains is more than 60%. These are foods like pasta, bread, potatoes and rice.

The body of the young athlete also needs a constant supply of protein too. Proteins are the building blocks of young muscles and other tissues of the body that is most vulnerable at this young age. Protein is a source of less efficient than energy from carbohydrates, but is no less important. Protein should be around 15 to 25% of total daily calories with foods such as fish, eggs, lean meats, poultry and eaten regularly. Fats are important in the diet of young athletes too. Good sources of healthy fats are meat, olive oil, nuts and some dairy products.

If you have kids in Aspen or New York, if they practice winter sports or summer, make sure your young athletes get the proper nutrients so they can practice their favorite sport more.
