The Big Fat Truth aired six episodes on Z Living in and asked me to be a part by sharing this article and recipe from the show. To obtain the most accurate representation of the nutritional information in a given recipe, you should calculate the nutritional information with the actual ingredients used in your recipe, using your preferred nutrition calculator.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that any nutritional information provided is accurate, complete, and useful. I have been vegan for 5 years.

He had a rare aggressive cancer and had 6 months to live and we decided to try a plant based diet and not do treatment! I was recommended to look at your website after a meeting I had with our outpatient cancer dietitian at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center in Spartanburg, SC.

I had a mastectomy and am now in chemo, will follow with hormone therapy and the 5 year pill. Sadly my margin in my tumor removal was not clean enough.

In addition, my Oncotype re occurrence score came back high. So, I am doing all I can do to change my lifestyle on top of all the medical treatment. I am not overweight actually lbs. but have always loved sugar. Do you have the nutritional information available? Carol, though I do not have the nutritional information available, there are a couple of free apps that will calculate those numbers for you.

One is My Fitness Pal and another is Cronometer. This is a link to a free PDF copy of the textbook we use in Food for Life: Cancer Project classes that I teach at Gibbs Cancer Center. It has a wealth of information that should be helpful, and the last half of the book is full of recipes.

Some of the recipes on my website are from this book. If you want to email me with questions, I will be glad to help wherever I can. My email is [email protected]. That is awesome. Congratulations and kudos for having the courage to defy convention and try something different.

Servings: 5 servings. It was a statement, I wanted it to be a prophecy of the year that had just begun. It is tiring, exhausting, disheartening, and it kills your creativity in the long term.

I want to have the space of mind to deal with the emergency in a calmer, more effective way. Everything happened at once: a pandemic, first a pregnancy then a newborn child, and a cookbook deal.

So, even though January is usually associated with renovation, restraint, and detox well, you know I will never embrace the concept of detox diet when we have a liver whose function is precisely that , we chose comfort as the theme for our blog posts and newsletters for this month.

We will explore the idea of comfort food, of those favourite recipes that soothe our body and soul both either when we eat them or when we make them. I keep two kinds of lentils in my pantry. I usually opt for Italian lentils from Castelluccio di Norcia, in Umbria, that are brownish and very small, have a nutty, earthy flavour, cook in about 30 minutes, and retain their shape.

It belongs to those filling one-pot dishes that traditionally pair pasta and pulses, made with simple, pantry ingredients that, when put together, give more than the sum of their parts.

Think about pasta e ceci , or pasta e fagioli. Well, pasta e lenticchie is even more simple. Boil the lentils with a stalk of celery and bay leaves — their spiced smell is a sign they are cooked through — then tip them with their cooking water in olive oil and garlic, add pasta, done.

Straightforward, filling, delicious. Pasta e lenticchie is a Neapolitan staple of trattorias and households, a substantial, one-pot dish that is traditionally made with short pasta like ditali, with pasta mista, a charming collection of different shapes of pasta born to use leftover odds and ends from other pasta shapes.

Since expressing those peeves of mine regarding pasta shapes and what sauces they should be coupled with was so satisfying, I am inclined to confess my feelings about another, even more egregious, culinary crime that I have witnessed from time to time. It is the act … I feel my blood pressure rising as I type.

When I am privy to this act of sacrilege, in that instant, no matter how charming, intelligent, kind or altruistic the perpetrator is, some of me will hate most of them forever.

I will stare, aghast, and sigh, knowing that there is nothing for it. When we first launched our subscription-based newsletter back in March, we thought it was mainly about sharing recipes. We could not believe it could become for you an anchor to Italy, to the Italian table and our loud conviviality, a reason to experiment with lesser-known ingredients, the voice of a friend in the kitchen.

It is demanding to keep this newsletter active, interesting, and useful for you, on a twice a week basis and in two languages. For us it is like curating our own food magazine: we share seasonal recipes, essays, menu ideas, stories, ingredient insights, links, and travel tips.

When you join Letters from Tuscany, you know you will receive twice a week some valuable content in your inbox, just like when your favourite food magazine is dropped at your doorstep. Join us here if you want to support our work, and help us be ahead of our schedule.

Everything You Want to Know About Your Favorite Cuisine , by By François-Régis Gaudry. I received the books from Artisan Books, which, by the way, is also our publisher. This means I had plenty of time to leaf through them during the holidays and to fall head over heels for them.

Hello Giulia, my mother used to cook something very similar to this. Thank you for reminding me on this and also for sharing this recipe!

This was a big hit with my whole family tonight. Thanks for an easy, nutritious, and pantry friendly recipe! I made this for the first chilly, rainy day of September in Massachusetts. Absolutely perfect method, ingredients and flavor. For those who may wonder, high quality brown rice pasta works beautifully as well.

This meal was very nostalgic and comforting for me as well as delicious. Thank you! Your email address will not be published. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail.

Ahead as in advance of something. But back to pasta e lenticchie, pasta with lentils. Two words about the pasta used in pasta with lentils.
