Welcome to a Taste of Paradise.
My name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:14.51\00:00:18.31
And I just love burgers.
And I love cheese burgers.
00:00:18.35\00:00:24.25
And you said, Wait a minute
Evita. You're talkin about
00:00:24.29\00:00:27.52
burgers and cheese and
this is a plant based program?
00:00:27.56\00:00:32.59
Yes! You don't have to limit
yourself just because you're on
00:00:32.63\00:00:36.53
a plant based diet. There are so
many different recipes out there
00:00:36.56\00:00:41.64
that you can have burgers
made from TVP, from gluten,
00:00:41.67\00:00:46.07
from oatmeal and cheese is made
from cashews and macadamia nuts
00:00:46.11\00:00:51.28
and sunflower seeds. The list
just goes on. And today, I am
00:00:51.31\00:00:56.35
going to share a
fabulous recipe made from yams
00:00:56.38\00:01:01.12
Yes, we're doing a yam sun
burger and sunflower cheese.
00:01:01.16\00:01:07.30
Can you believe it? Yes,
you heard it here on Taste of
00:01:07.33\00:01:11.37
Paradise. We're doing
some fabulous things here.
00:01:11.40\00:01:14.97
So let's look at the recipe.
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.51
So we're going to
start with the yam burgers.
00:02:38.05\00:02:41.06
And here we've got shredded yam
00:02:41.09\00:02:46.29
Our sweet potato
00:02:47.46\00:02:49.63
We have our sunflower seeds
00:02:50.83\00:02:53.90
and our let's put some red
pepper and let's get it started
00:03:06.85\00:03:11.79
Our celery which is really
good for the bones. Red onions.
00:03:26.97\00:03:32.67
And believe it or not red
onions have Vitamin C in it.
00:03:33.58\00:03:36.91
It's very good for you.
00:03:37.88\00:03:40.55
I eat a lot of red
onions, just love it.
00:03:40.58\00:03:44.15
Parsley. And I try to get
my grains in, in every recipe.
00:03:45.09\00:03:52.19
We have our cumin.
00:03:52.23\00:03:54.96
Our sage, our thyme.
00:03:56.36\00:03:58.63
Put our avocado in here.
00:04:01.30\00:04:03.77
I love avocados.
00:04:04.61\00:04:07.74
It's my favorite fruit.
00:04:09.71\00:04:12.71
Our Braggs Amino.
00:04:15.65\00:04:18.89
One thing I did forget is water.
00:04:42.54\00:04:45.91
Now we want to put the flax
seed in last because it's used
00:05:11.14\00:05:15.28
to bind everything together.
00:05:15.31\00:05:17.35
So now we're going to put
our flaxseed and this is ground
00:05:18.38\00:05:21.32
I like to grind my flaxseed the
day of. I don't like to buy it
00:05:21.35\00:05:25.45
already ground because it tends
to go rancid and the nutritive
00:05:25.49\00:05:30.36
properties tend to go down.
So I like to grind it the day of
00:05:30.39\00:05:34.46
Scrape down the sides to make
sure everything is incorporated.
00:05:44.17\00:05:47.54
Get everything
out of the way here.
00:06:09.20\00:06:12.33
And this is another
recipe that is dehydrated.
00:06:14.70\00:06:17.74
So I like to use a measuring
cup and I'm using a 3rd
00:06:21.71\00:06:25.18
measuring cup today.
00:06:25.21\00:06:27.98
I better take the blade out.
00:06:28.65\00:06:31.82
And just get some of the mixture
00:06:34.79\00:06:37.16
I like to dip it in water first
because it comes out very easy
00:06:37.19\00:06:40.53
when you do that.
That's a little trick.
00:06:40.56\00:06:44.40
And I like to kinda
pack it, fill it up.
00:06:45.23\00:06:51.21
Make sure you press
all the air out of it.
00:06:52.81\00:06:56.01
Then flatten it down.
00:07:00.18\00:07:04.15
It comes out round
and perfect every time.
00:07:04.19\00:07:07.26
So if you missed that,
let me show you one more time.
00:07:07.29\00:07:12.23
Just grab some and make
sure it's firmly packed.
00:07:15.96\00:07:19.23
Got to level it out.
00:07:19.27\00:07:21.44
And then just pat it down.
00:07:24.97\00:07:30.18
There you go.
00:07:33.85\00:07:35.18
Now I'm going to clear these
things away and we're going to
00:07:35.98\00:07:38.19
get ready for our next recipe.
I'm going to put this in the
00:07:38.22\00:07:40.42
dehydrator and this could
possibly go in the oven too
00:07:40.46\00:07:43.49
on low heat if you
don't have a dehydrator.
00:07:43.53\00:07:45.93
You don't want to overcook it
I tell people if they don't have
00:07:45.96\00:07:52.50
a dehydrator think about getting
a dehydrator with friends
00:07:52.53\00:07:56.57
or even a church buying
it so they could share it and
00:07:56.60\00:07:59.61
you could do things together.
00:07:59.64\00:08:02.11
Now I'm going to do a
sunflower seed cheese.
00:08:24.23\00:08:28.70
We have our sunflower
seeds that have been soaked
00:08:52.89\00:08:59.17
Now I like to soak the seeds
because they soften them up
00:09:00.84\00:09:06.11
and they tend to start to
sprout and it increases the
00:09:06.14\00:09:10.75
nutritional
value in them as well.
00:09:10.78\00:09:13.98
I love these
flakes. High in Vitamin B.
00:09:14.98\00:09:18.32
And also makes
things very cheesy.
00:09:18.35\00:09:21.36
And we have our Tahini
which is sesame seed butter
00:09:22.02\00:09:25.59
it's made from
sesame seeds ground up.
00:09:25.63\00:09:28.13
and it gives the
cheese that kind of sharpness.
00:09:28.16\00:09:32.03
I have a little maple syrup
00:09:33.64\00:09:36.60
Bring my ingredients over here
00:09:40.48\00:09:43.38
They're trying to run away
00:09:43.41\00:09:45.41
We have olive oil
00:09:45.81\00:09:48.72
I have chopped bell peppers and
that's what give it it's color
00:09:51.59\00:09:55.56
Cumin, cayenne
00:09:57.16\00:10:02.03
Just love
cayenne. We have our water.
00:10:02.06\00:10:05.07
Fresh lemon juice,
not the bought one.
00:10:08.07\00:10:12.17
So we have our cheese sauce.
00:10:37.93\00:10:40.87
Want to blend it till
it's real smooth and creamy
00:10:40.90\00:10:45.14
So now I'm going to bring out
00:10:46.88\00:10:49.61
our yam burgers. Now
don't they look fabulous?
00:10:51.38\00:10:56.48
We are going to put
a little cheese on it.
00:10:56.52\00:11:00.12
And I like to eat these
yam burgers between two Romaine
00:11:07.03\00:11:11.10
Lettuce leaves and the
romaine acts as my bread.
00:11:11.13\00:11:15.10
You can also use Swiss Chard
00:11:15.14\00:11:18.07
or you could be a little
adventurous and make raw bread
00:11:18.94\00:11:24.75
but I like to keep it really
fresh, so I do it with Romaine
00:11:24.78\00:11:30.55
Lettuce, and it's wonderful.
00:11:30.59\00:11:32.75
Again it's been a fabulous
recipe from Taste of Paradise
00:11:35.72\00:11:40.53
kitchen and
remember to live life fresh!
00:11:40.56\00:11:44.53
Some like it hot, some like
it cold. What am I talkin about?
00:11:51.04\00:11:54.48
Some may think the
weather, they like the Caribbean
00:11:54.51\00:11:56.88
the hot, heat and stuff
and some like the cold, snowy
00:11:56.91\00:12:01.72
weather of the great North. But
I'm not talkin about that kind
00:12:01.75\00:12:05.49
of hot and cold. I'm talkin
about our food hot or cold
00:12:05.52\00:12:08.36
here in the Taste of Paradise.
Some people like cold meals
00:12:08.39\00:12:11.63
they like the salads and all of
that stuff and some people like
00:12:11.66\00:12:14.73
to just sit down and
eat a nice warm meal.
00:12:14.76\00:12:17.57
Well today we're going to show
you some simple recipes that
00:12:17.60\00:12:20.27
you can do that can go both ways
hot and cold and you may enjoy
00:12:20.30\00:12:25.11
but let's look at the principle
most importantly. The most
00:12:25.14\00:12:28.81
important principle is that
your body operates at a certain
00:12:28.84\00:12:31.95
temperature. So whether you
like things very hot or cold
00:12:31.98\00:12:35.15
your whole goal is to get
it right where it needs to be
00:12:35.18\00:12:37.69
what good degree is
that? It's about 98.4 or 98.6.
00:12:37.72\00:12:41.16
So when you eat something that
maybe too hot or drink something
00:12:41.19\00:12:45.56
that's too hot it actually
debilitates your digestion
00:12:45.59\00:12:48.36
a little bit. It weakens it
you know. Have you ever put your
00:12:48.40\00:12:52.23
hand in hot water and you didn't
know it was going to be so hot
00:12:52.27\00:12:55.47
and it burned you and
you're like Aahh. It weakened it
00:12:55.50\00:12:58.07
here for a little bit. So
when a person drinks something
00:12:58.11\00:13:00.78
very hot or eats something very
hot it debilitates the system
00:13:00.81\00:13:04.38
you don't want to go to that
hot extreme. But then we also
00:13:04.41\00:13:07.15
got the cold extreme also. Uh
oh I might get in trouble. Yes,
00:13:07.18\00:13:11.75
there's some cold
foods that we all enjoy.
00:13:11.79\00:13:14.39
One that comes to
mind is probably Ice Cream!
00:13:14.42\00:13:16.66
It's very cold and when some
thing is cold it weakens the
00:13:16.69\00:13:20.60
system because it's so cold. The
body is trying to warm it back
00:13:20.63\00:13:26.23
ice cream or you drink something
really cold you get shivery, why
00:13:26.27\00:13:31.81
do you start to shiver? Because
your body is trying to do what?
00:13:31.84\00:13:34.68
Your body is trying to warm
it up so by that friction, that
00:13:34.71\00:13:37.35
shivering it warms it back up.
00:13:37.38\00:13:39.31
So what do we wanna do. We
wanna have food right in the
00:13:39.35\00:13:41.85
nice little grey area to
find that balance. If you need a
00:13:41.88\00:13:46.19
little cool then you can
do so but if you like it hot
00:13:46.22\00:13:48.92
we have it here today as well.
So here are some simple recipes
00:13:48.96\00:13:52.39
that you can do if you like it
hot or cold, it doesn't matter
00:13:52.43\00:13:55.80
you can enjoy it. A simple,
delicious hot or cold bean salad
00:13:55.83\00:14:01.77
is the recipe for you then.
00:14:01.80\00:14:03.54
And so you have all of the
beans there, you're going to be
00:14:24.76\00:14:28.13
beaned out. Please make sure
these beans are cooked properly
00:14:28.16\00:14:31.60
in advance. Some may use
the can, some may just cook it
00:14:31.63\00:14:36.44
themselves but when you soak
those beans, I think I have a
00:14:36.47\00:14:38.64
bag of beans here somewhere.
These are so cheap I tell you
00:14:38.67\00:14:42.98
When people say to live a
healthy life is so expensive
00:14:43.01\00:14:45.38
they don't know what they're
talkin about. Because God's plan
00:14:45.41\00:14:48.05
is always the cheapest. When
you buy a bag of beans 80 cents
00:14:48.08\00:14:51.49
or something this can
feed you for a whole week.
00:14:51.52\00:14:53.39
But when you soak it, please
soak it overnight and the next
00:14:53.42\00:14:57.29
day do not use the same water
wash it out because beans can
00:14:57.33\00:15:01.43
can become very flammable, you
know what I mean, in the stomach
00:15:01.46\00:15:04.20
you can hear brrrrp. Alright
no worries. We're cookin here
00:15:04.23\00:15:07.37
today. Beans are good. You have
so many types of beans and then
00:15:07.40\00:15:11.51
we have corn. This is
really a well balanced meal
00:15:11.54\00:15:15.48
because you have your carbs
and also vitamins and minerals
00:15:15.51\00:15:20.52
that comes with the beans. So
here you go, you have your beans
00:15:20.55\00:15:22.58
What are gonna do to make
it hot? To make this recipe hot
00:15:22.62\00:15:25.35
We should get this going on
the stove. Basically we're gonna
00:15:25.39\00:15:28.92
take just a little pinch,
you can't probably see but
00:15:28.96\00:15:32.36
we have a little pinch of
olive oil just to get this
00:15:32.39\00:15:35.86
going here, then we gonna
add our beans to it. Alright so
00:15:35.90\00:15:41.14
just going to add the beans
and let me just move this out of
00:15:41.17\00:15:43.27
the way a little bit so you
all can follow along with me
00:15:43.30\00:15:46.04
so we have the beans, we have
the red beans as well, the black
00:15:46.07\00:15:50.71
ones, I like them. Also if
I'm gonna do a Mexican or Cuban
00:15:50.75\00:15:56.48
dish we have the chick peas.
Chick peas are excellent for
00:15:56.52\00:16:00.56
arteries, for a person
dealing with high blood pressure
00:16:00.59\00:16:03.69
the chick peas work very good.
Also another recipe that you
00:16:03.73\00:16:07.10
can do with chick peas is hummus
maybe we'll make some hummus one
00:16:07.13\00:16:09.83
day. Of course I'm gonna throw
in the onions. You can put that
00:16:09.86\00:16:13.27
in first, second, third or
fourth but you remember this is
00:16:13.30\00:16:15.47
gonna go either way,
it's gonna be hot or cold meal
00:16:15.50\00:16:17.97
and then we're gonna have some
tomatoes to go along with that
00:16:18.01\00:16:21.34
So now you have a simple bean,
triple, quadruple bean salad
00:16:21.38\00:16:25.98
but don't just do that. You
have to add a little seasoning
00:16:26.01\00:16:28.85
we all love the
seasoning, right?
00:16:28.88\00:16:30.69
So we're gonna add a
little bit of salt there
00:16:30.72\00:16:32.75
Alright it's cracklin up.
And then we're gonna have some
00:16:34.76\00:16:36.99
onion and garlic powder. I think
I have some garlic powder here.
00:16:37.03\00:16:40.80
Just a tad. I'm gonna sprinkle
just a little bit on there.
00:16:40.83\00:16:46.60
This is how I do it at home
because I don't have time to be
00:16:46.63\00:16:49.90
cookin all day and stuff. I know
I'm in the kitchen, people say
00:16:49.94\00:16:52.41
man, you must love to cook. I
have a little secret for y'all
00:16:52.44\00:16:55.81
I don't run to the kitchen, I'm
not generally attracted to the
00:16:55.84\00:17:00.15
kitchen. I eat out of necessity.
Some people live to eat
00:17:00.18\00:17:03.22
I eat to live you know. But the
key is to find that nice balance
00:17:03.25\00:17:07.86
regardless. Also a
secret ingredient that everybody
00:17:07.89\00:17:10.93
would enjoy is some cumin, that
would really get things moving.
00:17:10.96\00:17:15.56
If you all remember I use cumin
with tofu sometimes to give it
00:17:15.60\00:17:19.90
that nice wanna be chicken
flavor. It works very well.
00:17:19.93\00:17:24.41
Here it is. All we're gonna
do is mix this up here nicely
00:17:25.74\00:17:29.68
You can literally do
this recipe in no time
00:17:29.71\00:17:33.21
And so now you have
it here basically hot.
00:17:36.45\00:17:40.16
Here's how you make it cold.
00:17:40.19\00:17:42.52
This is a real new recipe
how you make this one cold
00:17:42.56\00:17:46.53
You basically, after it's done
and you've eaten what you've
00:17:46.56\00:17:50.90
needed to eat you take that and
put it in a bowl. I have a bowl
00:17:50.93\00:17:54.60
over here somewhere. Get
all this stuff out of the way
00:17:54.64\00:17:58.64
And so after you've eaten
what you wanted to then you take
00:17:58.67\00:18:05.38
this and what do you do?
You eat it and when you're done
00:18:05.41\00:18:10.09
this is a little hot, we
basically go ahead and put it
00:18:10.12\00:18:13.56
in the where? Where are
we gonna put it everybody?
00:18:13.59\00:18:15.46
We're gonna put
that in the fridge.
00:18:15.49\00:18:18.06
There it is, simple as
that. You just went from a hot
00:18:19.23\00:18:22.36
to a cold recipe. Now I
know y'all are probably thinking
00:18:22.40\00:18:25.27
what? don't put something hot
in the fridge and it's possibly
00:18:25.30\00:18:28.64
true why you're not supposed
to put things very hot in the
00:18:28.67\00:18:31.07
fridge because it will
bring down the temperature of
00:18:31.11\00:18:33.24
everything else in the fridge
and the fridge has to kick
00:18:33.27\00:18:35.21
back in but with the new fridges
that usually doesn't cause a
00:18:35.24\00:18:38.11
major problem. So that's a
simple hot and cold recipe.
00:18:38.15\00:18:41.45
So tomorrow you're runnin
to work you take that, throw it
00:18:41.48\00:18:44.29
in a container and bam at work
you have something. With a nice
00:18:44.32\00:18:49.26
piece of bread or handful
of nuts or something you should
00:18:49.29\00:18:52.49
be good. Another quick item
that you can do is just have
00:18:52.53\00:18:55.60
some chopped veggies. I have
some broccoli, I have carrots
00:18:55.63\00:19:01.50
and cauliflower. This is some
thing really simple that you can
00:19:01.54\00:19:04.67
take that, chop it up fresh
of course and then you're ready
00:19:04.71\00:19:10.25
for this. We just put this
in the hot pot with hot water
00:19:10.28\00:19:15.38
and it becomes very nice and
tender. Now don't cook it ok?
00:19:15.42\00:19:18.72
We're not trying to cook it,
just steam it here a little bit
00:19:18.75\00:19:22.02
just really, really quickly
you leave that there for about
00:19:22.06\00:19:26.83
let's say a minute. It
will be nice and tender there
00:19:26.86\00:19:31.43
You can sprinkle a bit of sea
salt over that and you basically
00:19:31.47\00:19:34.14
have a hot recipe. What do you
do? You chop it up even smaller
00:19:34.17\00:19:37.94
when it's ready, put it in the
fridge and tomorrow you bring
00:19:37.97\00:19:42.44
that with you to work. So now
you have something kinda cold
00:19:42.48\00:19:46.01
Alright. However one of my other
favorites among my many favorite
00:19:46.05\00:19:50.05
we're gonna make what is
known my hotty cold pasta salad
00:19:50.09\00:19:56.62
You all know right, you make
a nice pasta meal that can also
00:19:56.66\00:20:00.00
turn into a salad as well.
So here it is a simple recipe
00:20:00.03\00:20:03.26
to make your hot
cold pasta salad.
00:20:03.30\00:20:06.87
So basically I have
here my rotini that's cooked.
00:20:20.18\00:20:24.85
and my tomatoes and one
of my favorites there is what
00:20:24.89\00:20:30.23
everybody? It's tofu. And let
me grab another little dish here
00:20:30.26\00:20:34.13
that we can use. Ok I'm gonna
put that there, it's cooking
00:20:35.46\00:20:40.24
a little bit and we're going to
take the Tofu and let's see if
00:20:40.27\00:20:45.61
I can just roll this out of
the way so you can follow along
00:20:45.64\00:20:48.38
with me. We're going to take
the Tofu and we're just gonna
00:20:48.41\00:20:51.88
crumble that. You see a little
water there, just pour out the
00:20:51.91\00:20:55.28
water and then have fun.
This will be cool for the kids.
00:20:55.32\00:20:59.39
The kids love making a
mess so you just crumble that
00:20:59.42\00:21:02.46
and a little bit of olive
oil and a little bit of sea salt
00:21:02.49\00:21:07.76
Let me get that going
00:21:07.80\00:21:10.90
Now some people do it Tofu
just like that, raw. I mean
00:21:11.83\00:21:16.44
that's cool, it's just Tofu,
you don't have to worry about it
00:21:16.47\00:21:19.97
you're not gonna get poisoning
food poisoning because it's
00:21:20.01\00:21:23.75
just tofu. I think we've shared
with you how to make your own
00:21:23.78\00:21:26.41
Tofu at home. You can do
that. But I like to add a little
00:21:26.45\00:21:31.82
flavor to my Tofu, so it
can bring the recipe out. So
00:21:31.85\00:21:36.99
we add a little bit of salt
00:21:37.03\00:21:40.30
onion and garlic powder, you
know it's always crucial to have
00:21:40.80\00:21:45.80
So basically it's almost like
you're doin a little scramble
00:21:46.53\00:21:50.41
Tofu or something.
00:21:50.44\00:21:52.44
And be careful, oh good
thing that I have a top on it
00:21:52.87\00:21:56.58
So you can always add Italian
seasoning. That maybe an option
00:21:57.35\00:22:02.18
I wonder if I have any Italian
seasoning. I usually like to
00:22:02.22\00:22:05.05
you can do it now,
you can do it later
00:22:05.09\00:22:09.22
little Italian
seasoning to go with the pasta
00:22:09.26\00:22:11.89
And let's see what we have here
00:22:13.09\00:22:16.36
I'm just going to mix it up.
It doesn't have to cook too long
00:22:16.40\00:22:19.63
If you do then you have
scramble Tofu like I said before
00:22:21.40\00:22:24.17
Either or works. Tofu's
fantastic. We've spent sometime
00:22:26.71\00:22:29.71
talking about the pros, the
cons. Just don't go Tofu crazy
00:22:29.74\00:22:33.82
Sometimes people like Tofu
so much they end up taking bath
00:22:33.85\00:22:36.52
in Tofu. No, I'm kidding. But
now soy is almost in everything
00:22:36.55\00:22:40.26
With Tofu you want to find, you
want to try your best to find
00:22:40.29\00:22:42.92
is the one that is non-GMO.
Non-GMO Tofu or even soy
00:22:42.96\00:22:48.70
products. So today if I know
I'm going to have Tofu for lunch
00:22:48.73\00:22:51.83
or if you know you're having it
for dinner that morning I'm not
00:22:51.87\00:22:55.80
going to drink soy milk. I'll
probably make my own almond milk
00:22:55.84\00:22:58.47
so I try to find a balance.
Because sometimes we go soy
00:22:58.51\00:23:01.71
overboard, alright? But it does
not cause many of the problems
00:23:01.74\00:23:06.08
as people are saying. If that
was the case then they'd say
00:23:06.11\00:23:08.95
oh if you eat too much
Tofu you're gonna get sick
00:23:08.98\00:23:11.25
Well then everybody
in Asia should be sick.
00:23:11.29\00:23:13.25
Because if you notice how many
people in Asia are using Tofu
00:23:13.29\00:23:17.59
and soy products on a daily
basis. So there you go, you have
00:23:17.63\00:23:21.00
that crumbled up it's
turning out nicely there
00:23:21.03\00:23:23.63
And then, I'm
gonna get a little bowl
00:23:25.63\00:23:29.34
This guy's goin,
how's my veggies doin?
00:23:30.44\00:23:32.84
The veggies should be ok, in
another couple seconds you pull
00:23:32.87\00:23:37.45
that off so I'm gonna
take my Tofu, I have my rotini
00:23:37.48\00:23:40.45
I put the rotini in here
00:23:42.52\00:23:45.29
Then I'm gonna
add my Tofu to that.
00:23:45.32\00:23:47.66
Very nice. So now
this becomes a hot recipe
00:23:48.82\00:23:55.40
So you just mix that up nicely.
00:23:57.30\00:23:58.70
What do we have to add to
this? We could add some olives
00:23:58.73\00:24:03.54
In the bean salad you
could do olives as well.
00:24:03.57\00:24:06.17
I was savin the
olives for this one.
00:24:06.21\00:24:09.01
Then you can do the tomatoes.
00:24:09.04\00:24:11.48
And now we have a simple, tasty
let's add a little bit of salt
00:24:15.52\00:24:22.69
Should be alright. Oh yes!
00:24:24.26\00:24:26.76
Very nice. And you can add
seasonings of course to taste
00:24:26.80\00:24:31.03
whichever you
find is best for you.
00:24:31.07\00:24:34.34
And I think I had my
Italian a little extra
00:24:34.37\00:24:37.51
Should be good. Now watch
this. How do you make this
00:24:37.54\00:24:40.11
you can serve this out
just like it is, into a bowl
00:24:40.14\00:24:46.75
We have a bowl here. Serve this
out and now you have a nice hot
00:24:49.22\00:24:52.52
pasta salad you know.
After a long day you wanna eat
00:24:52.55\00:24:55.92
something nice and hot.
You can have that there.
00:24:55.96\00:24:58.69
Then you can take this and
put this in the fridge, right?
00:24:58.73\00:25:02.03
And after you put it in the
fridge, tomorrow again maybe
00:25:02.06\00:25:05.20
you can have it for breakfast.
00:25:05.23\00:25:07.47
But the key to taking this to
the next level for a cold recipe
00:25:07.50\00:25:10.94
alright let's pretend
this is cold. It is goin ahead
00:25:10.97\00:25:16.28
If it's cold then add a little
bit of lemon juice to that.
00:25:16.31\00:25:21.05
So add a little bit of lemon
juice and the key is some dill.
00:25:21.08\00:25:24.75
So now you had one flavor
today for let's say lunch or
00:25:24.79\00:25:29.42
something like that and tomorrow
you can do the same recipe
00:25:29.46\00:25:32.99
but just with what? A different
flavor here. Just by changing
00:25:33.03\00:25:37.27
some of your seasonings. So
understanding your seasonings
00:25:37.30\00:25:40.37
and knowing how to work them
is crucial to make them. Oh look
00:25:40.40\00:25:45.04
you can even smell the dill.
It's just like comin up and
00:25:45.07\00:25:48.31
I had just one recipe and
just by adding dill I literally
00:25:48.34\00:25:51.75
almost have a totally different
recipe there. So that is the
00:25:51.78\00:25:55.68
delicious super pasta salad and
I think my veggies are ready.
00:25:55.72\00:26:00.79
We're gonna put together
a whole meal here. I don't
00:26:01.82\00:26:03.49
think that was the plan.
Today we're gonna put together a
00:26:03.53\00:26:06.19
whole meal. You pull that
out there. You don't wanna cook
00:26:06.23\00:26:11.20
You know how some
people say you cook it to death
00:26:11.23\00:26:13.20
I'm not gonna cook
these to death, of course.
00:26:13.23\00:26:16.07
So you take that. Let me grab
so I'll put a little broccoli
00:26:16.60\00:26:26.18
sometimes it's good to try this
way cause you know you can do
00:26:26.21\00:26:30.75
and Evita is our raw expert
so you have raw recipes but
00:26:30.79\00:26:34.82
sometimes even with like carrots
if you put a little bit of heat
00:26:34.86\00:26:37.66
to that, one way when it's
raw you get certain vitamins and
00:26:37.69\00:26:41.86
minerals, if you put a little
bit of heat then for some people
00:26:41.90\00:26:44.73
it may help them with digestion
as well. So a little heat
00:26:44.77\00:26:48.70
is not gonna kill anybody.
Don't tell Evita I said that
00:26:48.74\00:26:51.21
Look at this, so I can add
some pasta salad to that now
00:26:51.24\00:26:55.58
So I literally have like 3 meals
00:26:56.34\00:26:58.75
and if you're doin a big
dinner or something like that
00:27:00.12\00:27:02.72
and one, let's grab some beans.
This maybe a lot but I'm gonna
00:27:02.75\00:27:05.69
grab some beans real quick and
00:27:05.72\00:27:08.49
who knows, you can have
a whole fantastic dinner
00:27:10.09\00:27:14.86
Somebody's gonna say, man you're
a chef where did you learn that?
00:27:14.90\00:27:17.33
You tell them, I learned
this on the Taste of Paradise
00:27:17.37\00:27:20.04
Three meals in one. Now
don't eat too much because eatin
00:27:20.07\00:27:23.77
whether hot or cold,
eating too much can be a problem
00:27:23.81\00:27:27.04
But three meals in one
you have it right here.
00:27:27.08\00:27:29.88
Hot or cold,
whatever works best for you
00:27:29.91\00:27:32.75
There it is. You can enjoy
it but of course let us always
00:27:33.18\00:27:37.15
remember to find a
nice balance in what we do.
00:27:37.19\00:27:40.69
Because like I said if it's too
hot for the body then it starts
00:27:40.72\00:27:44.23
to what? starts to debilitate
it. But if you eat something
00:27:44.26\00:27:46.96
that's too cold it may weaken
it as well. So hold off a little
00:27:47.00\00:27:51.53
bit on those cold icy drinks
or maybe a bit of ice cream
00:27:51.57\00:27:54.54
or maybe hold off
on those super hot teas
00:27:54.57\00:27:57.04
But find a nice
balance whether hot or cold.
00:27:57.07\00:28:00.01
Enjoy your meals
today. Have a good one.
00:28:00.04\00:28:02.54
