Lemon Curd Recipe

Materials:


  • 2 large egg yolks      
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice          
  • 3 oz. (6 Tbs.) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature                      
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. grated lemon zest




    • Preparation:

    1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer, about 2 min. Slowly add the eggs and yolks. Beat for 1 min. Mix in the lemon juice. The mixture will look curdled, but it will smooth out as it cooks.

    2. In a medium, heavy-based saucepan, cook the mixture over low heat until it looks smooth. (The curdled appearance disappears as the butter in the mixture melts.) Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. It should leave a path on the back of a spoon and will read 170°F on a thermometer. Don't let the mixture boil.

    3. Remove the curd from the heat; stir in the lemon zest. Transfer the curd to a bowl. Press plastic wrap on the surface of the lemon curd to keep a skin from forming and chill the curd in the refrigerator. The curd will thicken further as it cools. Covered tightly, it will keep in the refrigerator for a week and in the freezer for 2 months.

    Note: For lime curd, substitute fresh lime juice and zest for lemon.

    Bon Appetit

    Possible to Lose Weight with Lemonade!

    The Promise Celebrities including Beyoncé have used this diet. But it's far from the principles of healthy eating, and the results aren't likely to last.

The claim is simple: Give it 10 days (or more) and you’ll drop pounds, "detox" your digestive system, and feel energetic, vital, happy, and healthy. You’ll also curb cravings for unhealthy food. It all started with Stanley Burroughs’s book, The Master Cleanser. There are many variations, and Peter Glickman continues Burroughs’s legacy with his own book, Lose Weight, Have More Energy and Be Happier in 10 Days , and web site. Does It Work? Because you're getting so few calories, you'll probably lose weight.  You’ll also be losing muscle, bone, and water.  And you're likely to gain the weight right back. There's no proof t...

    Lamb Kebab - Meat Bread ( Konya Cuisine )

    The characteristics of being the capital of the Anatolian seljuks and the home of rumi, shams and sultan walad have also left distinctive marks in Konya's gourmet culture Konya is one of the most important centers in Anatolia, where the Greeks, Romans and Byzantines, Seljuks, Karamanoğulları and the Ottomans once reigned. Intercultural exchange, due to intersecting trade routes and a heavy flow of caravan traffic have enriched Konya’s diverse cuisine. The etiquette and selectiveness of the Seljuks is maintained in the province to this day. The unusual table manners and dining etiquette that developed in the palaces of Konya are still observed to a certain extent. For example, unlike most cultures who eat dessert after the meal, in Konya dessert is eaten before the meal. Okra soup, one of the traditional dishes of Konya, is served towards the end of the meal, for example, due to the known fact that okra aids in digestion. These traditions most likely originated from the tradi...
