Double-Chocolate Mousse Cake

Fri Jun 4th 2010 9:12pm

16 ounces of unsweetened chocolate
2 cups of butter or coconut oil
1 cups of dark brown sugar – demerara sugar
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup cream or coconut milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
½ teaspoon sea salt
8 large eggs

Chocolate glaze
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
3 table spoon coconut milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup

1. Preheat oven to 350 F, grease and line a 10 inch springform pan with parchment paper
2. In a heavy 3 quart saucepan heat over low heat chocolate, butter, sugar, maple syrup, cream or milk, vanilla and sea salt. Stir frequently until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and transfer into glass container that mixture can be poured from.
3. In a large bowl with a wire whisk or fork beat eggs slightly and then very slowly pour chocolate mixture into eggs while beating eggs constantly until chocolate mixture and eggs are well blended. (This is easier in a mixing bowl - in a mixing bowl beat eggs on high for 10 to 15 seconds, you just want to mix them well, then reduce speed to a low/med setting and slowly pour chocolate mixture into bowl. Beat mixture until well blended.)
4. Pour batter into springform pan and spread evenly.
5. Bake for 45 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted 2 inches from edge of pan come out clean. Cool completely in pan on a rack.
6. When cake is completely cooled, carefully remove side of pan. Cover top of cake with parchment paper (so plastic does not touch cake) and with the bottom of pan still on wrap cake completely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
7. Prepare chocolate glaze. In a heavy 2 quart saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and butter, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. If pan is too thin, it will transfer heat too fast and burn the chocolate. Remove from heat and with a wooden spoon beat in coconut milk and maple syrup.
8. Line a plate with parchment paper strips, to catch the drippings of the glaze. Carefully unwrap cake, remove bottom pan and carefully place cake on prepared plate. Spread warm glaze over cake and spread with back of wooden spoon or spatula.
9. Refrigerate cake if not serving right away. Cake can be decorated with whipped cream and flowers, fruit, chocolate squares or citrus peel if desired.

PORTUGUESE WINTER KALE SOUP

Fri Jun 4th 2010 9:02pm

Serves four – 429 Calories per serving

If you want to look younger longer, then kale is your best friend, as it is known as an age-defying vegetable. We like the darker green vegetables as there are more nutrients. Kale is hardy and survives the first frost, and actually gets more tender and sweeter after cold weather sets in. Clean the kale thoroughly by filling the sink with cold water and swish the leaves around with your hands to remove dirt and grit. One of the nicest ways to enjoy kale is in soups.

Kale tastes best when the stock is removed and leaves are cut very fine and potatoes are added to soften the taste. Kale is one of our richest sources of pro-vitamin A and C. Both boost the immune system to prevent infections and colds.

Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes

-16 oz. (454 g.) leftover roast chicken or crumbled tempeh
-6 cups (1.5 L) chicken bone stock or vegetable stock
-1 tsp. (5 ml) kelp salt with trace minerals
-Half of a fresh lemon
-1 cup cubed turnip
-1 cup small red potatoes with skin on, cubed
-1 large yellow onion, diced
-4 organic garlic cloves, minced
-2 tbsp. (30 ml) kelp or dulse flakes
-5 cups (1.25 L) kale
-Dashes of cayenne pepper
-1 tsp. (5 ml) omega 3-6-9 or flax oil per bowl

1. Prepare a basic broth. In a large soup pot with a lid, add eight cups of filtered water and add you’re favorite herbs and vegetables. Cover, and bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for an hour. Then remove everything and filter through a sieve to make a clear stock. Reserve vegetables for a veggie pate, you can freeze them until you need them. For a chicken stock add eight cups of water, chicken parts (bones, feet, carcass or any part leftover from a roasted chicken) and add ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Cover and bring to a boil, reduce to medium low heat and simmer, covered, for 24 hours – during the last hours add two organic carrots and a bunch of parsley. Then remove everything and filter through a sieve to make a clear stock. Refrigerate to allow fat to set, you can remove the fat if you wish or leave it in, however be aware that toxins are deposited in fat so ensure that you trust your source of chicken if you are going to consume the fat.
2. Prepare all vegetables. Wash the kale leaves, and then cut out the stems. Hold tightly and cut leaves very fine, then cross cut every half inch, so there are no long pieces to hang over the spoon, or out of the mouth. Cube potatoes and turnip into quarter-inch pieces, chop onions and garlic.
3. Put it all together. Combine potatoes, onions, garlic, and seaweed with broth and boil eight minutes.
Reduce heat, and stir in the chopped kale last to preserve the green. Simmer for 15 minutes. Add dashes of cayenne powder to titillate the taste buds.
4. Remove from heat, add oil to the bowls, then pour the soup, and serve.
