“Romancing the Stove” Soups - an Excellent Source of Protein

The base of our soups is lentils, which are also called dal. They are the main source of protein in our diet. In combination with rice or bread, lentils will provide you with an excellent source of protein. Smaller lentils are faster cooking and easier to digest. Our favorites are Mung dal (small yellow lentils, which may also be called moong beans), and Musoor dal (small red lentils).

The most important factor in cooking dal is to add the herbs and spices according to the Phoron technique (see RTS, page 45).

Follow the path of our recipes and bring the vital force of nature into your life. "Drink the Water of Life freely."

Do You Have this Comfort Food on Your List?

Tonight I am looking forward for a soothing warm, and simple joy. It is made out of Cream of Wheat; and called in Hindi “Shoji Halva”. It is reminding me of my comforting childhood moments. This dish invokes the feelings of love, safety, and security, epitomizing my father's home. Every time I cook it, I revisit the days of my ignorant bliss. Perhaps, it is also on your list.

Romancing the Stove

How to eat and feel the joy of eating? This is the question.

That is why we enjoy to have our family and our intimate friends around us when we eat. That is why we like to drink and to laugh, and to celebrate these moments of togetherness.

How Do You Feel About the Idea of Going to the Kitchen and Seriously Getting Romantic?
To enhance your romance try my favourite tea. I call it:
"A Cup of Caring For Leisure And Enjoyment"

See Recipe for the 'Cup of Caring' on pg. 102, of my book Romancing the Stove

Do You Agree That It Is A Joy To Romance In The Kitchen?


http://www.samahriaramsen.com/romancing_the_stove.htm

What is the Reason that We Are Drawn to Romance in the Kitchen?

We all get up in the morning because we have to eat. The biggest reason that the most of us want to romance in the Kitchen seems to be the promise of a happy and enjoyable meal together.
We Romance the Stove with our family, or our intimate friend, or just by ourselves. We anticipate the joy, the nearness, and the cheerful moments together.
While we romance the stove, we drink good wine; we laugh; and we surprise ourselves sometimes by our own inspired recipes.
I usually go to the kitchen to inspire romance in me, to nourish myself, and someone I love. It is usually a very happy and a joyful event for me.

Why Did I Start "Recipes for Romance" Blog?

It is simple. I wanted to share with others something very special, something that changed my life and might help many of you, who also care for your own well being.

I used to suffer from severe migraine headaches and hospitalization was only a temporary relief for me. Pain drove me to search for answers. I will never forget when I was introduced to this new way of eating. I felt elated. The first time in my life I enjoyed to eat and to cook the food.
Yes, these two simple acts of eating and cooking became my meditation, the basis for leading a healthy and happy life.

From that time onwards, eating became both nourishing and pleasurable for me. I had discovered that cooking doesn't have to be boring. It's not hard work. It's easy and enjoyable. It is the beginning of Self-Romance, a form of meditation, as well as a wonderful relief from stress.

Since then I had never had to go to hospitals for such weakness of the body, or pay visit to doctors. I was so overjoyed with the knowledge and experience that I had gained that I wrote “Romancing the Stove” book.

These recipes do not belong to me. I was just a scribe that had put them together. I had learnt these authentic, nutritious and tasteful vegetarian cooking secrets directly from a Himalayan Master. These secrets come from ancient times, when there were no epidemics and few overweight people. Life was more peaceful and joyful. Food was tastier and natural.

Under my teacher's guidance, I had regained my health from the agony of stress and discovered the power and romance of eating for health.

If you want to try what Romancing the Stove is all about, I would love to presents you with my meditations in the form of recipes. Each dish is a part of the romance and is named appropriately for a specific mood or occasion. You will get into the spirit of each name while you prepare the food.

That is why I had created this Blog and called it: Recipes for Romance. Please join me and share your own recipes and your own experiences with others.
