It’s also high in fiber and a good source of a number of essential nutrients including B vitamins, selenium, potassium, copper and phosphorus.

Mushrooms are also rich in anti-oxidants that help cells ward off damage from dangerous oxygen molecules called free radicals. Chinese and Japanese have long been eating mushrooms for their medicinal properties which includes promotion of overall vitality and enhancement of the immune system. Mushrooms also support the body’s detoxification mechanisms.

Does Delhi NCR, floating as it is in a sea of Chinese and south-east Asian flavours, need yet another pan-Asian restaurant? My answer to this rhetorical question is an unqualified ‘yes’ for two reasons. On the evolutionary ladder of eating out, Delhi has barely grown out of its Neanderthal phase, so any addition to its repertoire of options must be welcomed with a hug and a kiss. And if the new kid on the block shows the spunk of a cocky youngster, it deserves a red carpet welcome.

indian cooking

Its decor has all the touches of Super Potato, the much- feted Japanese design firm that believes in being stylish without showing signs of being a fashion victim. Its menu doesn’t go overboard with creativity — I wish it did, though, with the portions — yet it has a surprise tucked away in every page. The service is friendly, efficient and unobtrusive — moving like a well- oiled machine under the watchful eye of an Australian manager who was a tad apologetic about his country’s cricketing reputation.

We were served by a young woman from Mizoram who had an inspiring personal story to narrate — a recent migrant to the city, she takes care of her widowed mother, pays for her brother’s college education, and yet doesn’t look stressed. She was friendly without being familiar; she was knowledgeable about the menu without overwhelming us with the information at her command. This is the kind of service that makes me feel at ease, and inspires my older son, who has just entered his awkward teens, to strike up a conversation.
How did I decide that Eest is a welcome new addition to the city’s dining scene? Notice I’m not mentioning the name Gurgaon, for Westin, which is bang opposite IFFCO Chowk, can be reached in 20 minutes from Vasant Vihar at night. That’s about half the time it takes me to reach the Saket malls. But that’s not the reason why I will go back to Eest. It’s the food that’ll be my hook.

restaurants india

The food at Eest is just the kind that your little ones — like my perennially hungry son — will give a 9.7 out of 10 rating. That’s being over- generous but you’ll also be inclined to be so after you’ve had the cheong fun , the softness of the rice wrapping contrasting the crunchiness of the shrimp inside; the honey BBQ chicken puffs made to perfection; and the sushi rolls — the California rolls with crab meat thankfully underwhelmed by either guacamole or cream cheese and the prawn tempura rolls where the bite of the filling contrasts with the slush of the fish roe.
To test out the restaurant’s ability to pull off disparate cuisine offerings we asked for chicken bulgogi ( though it was tenderloin on the menu) and it just melted in the mouth; the Thai stir- fried prawns with chilli, garlic and hot basil, a welcome diversion from the curries; and a pad thai with a gentle tamarind sauce that stirred my soul. This was simple — and simply good — food that kept pace with the wine ( I suggest the Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion blend from Australia) and the languid conversation. As long as Eest is Eest, I’ll be happy to go back.

Some comprehensive health and aging advice recently sprang from the Oprah show, where Dr Oz the resident dietitian reviewed one of the latest methods for treating longevity.

Known as resveratrol, this anti-oxidant which has been consumed for centuries by certain communities in their local diet, has only recently been manufactured into a pill supplement and juice.

Resveratrol works by slowly stripping away fats which line your arteries and by having cleaner arteries your heart obviously works more efficiently under less stress, therefor giving it strength and adding longevity.

Resveratrol is in fact a polyphenol, or a fungi if you like which is found in high concentrations in the Muscadine grape and Japanese Knot weed.

This fungi helps protect the plant from bacteria, but has also proved to be an extremely rich anti-oxidant.

Sardinians have consumed this for centuries in their local tipple of red wine and although alcohol poses obvious risks, if consumed on a regular basis in moderation, this scientists believe is in part due to the fact that this small island holds the world record for the highest number of centenarian men per capita.

Okinawans also consume Resveratrol in abundance and here their Resv fix comes in the form of Knotweed which is a root used in a variety of recipes and also used medicinally.

In fact the Okinawans have been using resveratrol formulas for centuries for health and aging treatments such as inflammation as well as lipid atherosclerosis and liver ailments such as Hepatitis B and arthritis.

Aside from having a vast majority of their citizens living well into their hundreds, this may well be attributed to the fact that there is hardly a case of cancer to report on on this island.

In fact, if you are born and raised in Okinawa you are 84% less likely to develop some form of cancer than if you were born and raised in the U.S which currently has medical experts baffled.

This is not to suggest that resveratrol offers a cure for cancer – far from it – but it may well offer certain benefits for keeping it at bay. The jury is still out.

So aside from its longevity benefits and medicinal treatments, dietitians argue that if you are concerned about your health and aging, then resveratrol may be one way to go.

Kombucha is a active therapeutic pick-me-up made by fermenting tea and sugar with the kombucha culture. The effect can taste like something between sparkling apple cider and champagne, depending on what form of tea you apply. It’s not what you’d reckon fermented tea to taste like.

Green tea kombucha. The origins of Kombucha have become befuddled in the mists of time. It is thought to have originated in the Far East, probably China, and has been consumed there for at least two thousand years. The first recorded use of kombucha comes from China in 221 BC during the Tsin Dynasty. It was known as “The Tea of Immortality”.

It has been used in Eastern Europe, Russia and Japan for numerous centuries. It’s from Japan in 415 AD that the name kombucha is said to have come. A Korean doctor called Kombu or Kambu treated the Emperor Inyko with the tea and it took his name, “Kombu” and “cha” meaning tea. Russia has a farseeing tradition of using a therapeutic beverage called “Tea Kvass” made from a “Japanese Mushroom”.

From Russia it dispersed to Prussia, Poland, Germany and Denmark but it seems to have died out during World War Two. After the war Dr Rudolph Skelnar created renewed interest in kombucha in Germany when he used it in his practice to handle cancer patients, metabolic disorders, high blood pressure and diabetes.

The Kombucha Culture

The Kombucha culture resembles a white rubbery pancake. It’s often called a ‘scoby’ which stands for ‘ symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts.The culture is placed in sweetened black or green tea and turns a bowl full of sweet tea into a bowl full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and health-giving organic acids.

Three cultures or scobys

As the Kombucha culture digests the sugar it produces a array of organic acids like glucuronic acid, gluconic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, butyric acid, malic acid and usnic acid; vitamins, particularly B vitamins and vitamin C; as well as amino acids, enzymes. Let’s not forget all the benefits of the probiotic microorganisms themselves. The Kombucha culture is a powerful biochemical tool in your house!

You might question if fermenting tea with yeasts would produce an alcoholic beverage. Well it’s a wonderful query! The yeasts do produce alcohol however the bacteria in the culture turn the alcohol to organic acids. only minute quantities of alcohol, more often than not 1% by volume remains in the kombucha brew.

With every brew you create the kombucha creates a new layer or scoby on the surface of the liquid. These canful be remaining to thicken the scoby or can be divided, giving you extra cultures that you may keep in some sweet tea in the fridge in case anything may pass to your active culture. Or you may want to pass on spare Kombucha cultures to other people or use a new scoby to start another pot of kombucha.

Setting up a restaurant business doesn’t stop with the planning and acquisition of different supplies and materials. One of the most important things that you have to do is to make sure that your restaurant is ready to face the world with the most effective means possible. This can be obtained if you have a theme.

In deciding a particular theme for your restaurant, you must consider two major factors. First, your theme should manifest the type of restaurant that you have. For example, if your restaurant business is catered to Japanese cuisine, then your theme should be Japanese-based.

Second factor would be to create a theme that will focus on one thing, even if it is related to your type of restaurant. For example, if you fancy sports cars, you may create your restaurant business theme centered on different sports cars. You could use pictures or life-size replicas.

There are also other factors that you must consider when choosing a theme. All of these things should coincide with each other to produce harmony and a well-balanced atmosphere. Here are the other factors:

1. Color

This refers to the general color that you have to employ. The walls, table linens, and other miscellaneous items should use colors that will best match your chosen theme. They should never draw distinctions.

Moreover, colors should also reflect the kind of crowd that your restaurant gratifies. For instance, you may use high-striking, vibrant colors if your restaurant is more inclined to the younger crowds.

2. Lighting

Lighting can create a powerful effect and enhance your restaurant theme. Keep in mind that when choosing lighting materials, there should always be proper illumination as well as some special effects that will correspond to your theme.

3. Flooring

Many restaurant owners take this portion for granted. What they don’t know is that choosing the best flooring that will match your theme can add highlights on your restaurant’s overall projection.

There are certain kinds of flooring that may render certain functions but can also bring more troubles on the other side. For example, using cemented flooring can be very practical to use because of its easy-to-clean features. However, it can also bring problems such as too much noise because of its ability to create echoes.

The bottom line is that you must be very particular with the different factors that may greatly affect the outlook of your theme. It would be better to lay all of these things out in one extensive brainstorming session and consider all the possible problems.
