Angelina hk



巴黎ANGELINA 當屬Rue De Rivoli 那裡間連Coco Chanel都是座上賓,香港的餐廳則半掩於是連卡佛化妝專業櫃後;望前有維港海景、開揚寫意,座后則不失Belle Époque風格,氛圍中充滿巴黎的復古精致。

頭牌推介 Old-fashioned hot chocolate "L 'Africain" ($88),L’Africain的起源,L’Africain由至少三種非洲可可豆巧妙混合配搭而成的,所以名命為L’Africain。據說這裏的朱古力由總店預先按傳統配方調校而成,再運到香港用特別朱古力機處理,因此冷熱都濃郁甘香,味道分別不大。香濃稠滑的熱朱古力甜度適中、香濃美味得來很順喉,不失水準!僅次於日本Ladurée,注意每瓶熱朱古力都會配有一壺Chantilly忌廉,放心加吧,后者反而起了稀釋作用,讓前者不致太甜(其實已甜到漏)


招牌Mont-Blanc($90),這由 Meringue, whipped cream, chestnut cream vermicelli 即蛋白脆餅和鮮忌廉铺上栗子蓉,即刻食得出是栗子做的,同時忌廉交才相輝映。先入濃度適中的栗子味,入口香甜軟糯,下層為蛋白脆餅,令綿滑口感中添上一份香脆,不過偶有雪櫃時間太長就會比較乾,總體來說在香港還是不錯的了(除了自己做的和cova的更好)。

Vendome,以脆的白克力做外殼,看上去好像雞蛋,食時要先用匙羹敲爛才可。內裡帶檸檬餅乾、草莓醬及牛乳糖mousse的特別組合,味道可口,層次豐富,不妨試試


其他推薦

此外,店內還有Macron、法國朱古力、醬料等,
餐品不太穩定所以暫時不推薦

Scratch kitchen in Toronto


A stone oven inherited from previous tenants is put to good use baking breads and finishing dishes like the Fat Daddy pancake skillet. As far as pancakes go, this one is excellent. The single, plate-sized flapjack is fluffy and perfectly crisped around its perimeter. The dough is studded with poached anjou pears and the whole thing is sprinkled with confection sugar, smothered in maple syrup then topped in house-made Concord grape jelly and a generous knob of butter.

技能get√ | 自制“沼夫三明治”,你也可以!


“沼夫三明治”(沼サン),又称“卷心菜沙拉三明治”,据说是日本陶艺家大沼道行的太太为他特别制作的爱心早餐。它是最近日本三明治界的新宠,在Instagram圈里传得异常火热,只要在制作普通火腿芝士蛋三明治时在中间塞进满满的卷心菜沙拉就算完成,制作起来零难度,而且吃起来香浓美味,一口咬下去的那种满足能让一整个早上都元气满满。虽然用了不少沙拉酱,但毕竟蔬菜也是放得多多的,吃起来还是很心理平衡的。

做法:

材料:吐司切片2片、培根1-2片(可用火腿或其他肉类)、芝士1片、水煮蛋1个、卷心菜1/5或1/4个、蛋黄酱及其他喜欢的沙拉酱适量、盐少许、黑胡椒少许。

Step 1:

将卷心菜叶洗净沥干水后切细丝,然后拌入适量的蛋黄酱。

Step 2:

在其中一片吐司切片上放培根和芝士,然后送进烤箱180度烘烤3-5分钟至芝士融化,吐司略呈金黄酥脆。(具体烤多长时间要根据烤箱的火力而定。)


¤如果你没有烤箱,也可以这样:

1.吐司不烤,直接用。

2.用多士炉把吐司烤香,然后趁热放上一片芝士,再盖上煎好的培根或火腿。

3.平底锅中抹薄薄一层牛油,然后中小火煎一下吐司再用。

Step 3:

吐司出炉后,在没有放培根和芝士的吐司上抹一层你喜欢的酱料(我用的是黄芥末酱,这样子配拌了蛋黄酱的卷心菜沙拉味道会很搭,但你也可以用其他的),然后码放上切片的水煮蛋,撒一点点盐和黑椒,接著铺上厚厚一层卷心菜沙拉即可。

*觉得水煮蛋麻烦的话也可以用煎蛋,但是因为这里本身用了不少沙拉酱,配煎蛋会比较油腻,所以更推荐用水煮蛋切片。

Step 4:

放完食材后就是这个样子,喜欢的话可以放小编上图这里两倍的蔬菜。接下来小心快速地将放了芝士培根的吐司盖在另一片上,然后从中间一分为二就可以开吃了。

Quiz: Myths and Facts About Protein vol.2

Q14.

Most Americans don't eat enough protein.

You answered: False

Most Americans get all the protein they need from their diet. In fact, most of us get more than enough. Vegetarians -- especially vegans -- may not get enough because plant-based proteins can have low amounts of some amino acids. Older adults may also need to make sure they get enough protein, because it can be easy to lose muscle as we get older.


Q15.

You can find protein in:

Protein comes in all kinds of interesting foods. You can find it in meat, of course. But you can also get protein from nuts and seeds, beans and peas, and eggs.


Q16

Which could mean you're not getting enough protein?

You answered: All of the above

Most people don't need to worry about eating enough protein. However, strict vegetarians, vegans, and older people should know the signs of too little protein. These include recent weight loss, tired muscles, and a drop in your muscle strength


Q17

A high-quality protein diet can help lower your chance of heart disease.

You answered: True

Most Americans get about 12% to 18% of their calories from protein. To be healthier, eat more fish, chicken, beans, and less red meat. Also, swap your refined carbs for these healthier proteins. That means more protein instead of foods like white bread and white rice. 

Quiz: Myths and Facts About Protein vol.1


Q1
Men need more protein than women.

You answered: True

How much protein you need depends on your sex, age, how much you weigh, how active you are, and other things. But yes, guys usually need more protein than women. An average man needs about 56 grams of protein a day. Women need 46 grams.


Q2
How many of your calories should come from protein?
You answered: 10% to 35%
If you're like most Americans, you get all the protein you need. You should usually get about 10% to 35% of your calories from protein every day.   
A typical day with about 50 grams of protein could include:  Chicken (3 ounces), two large eggs, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and 8 ounces of yogurt.

Q3
Athletes need more protein than couch potatoes
You answered: True
How active you are impacts how much protein your body needs. Athletes may need slightly more protein than non-athletes. They need it to repair and rebuild muscles after all that work. 

Q4 
Which has more protein?

You answered: 3 ounces of beef
All these are good sources of protein, but beef and other meats are really protein-packed. However, meat is high in saturated fat, which can lead to high cholesterol and heart disease. If you choose red meats for protein, stick with the leanest cuts and be smart with portion sizes. It's a good idea to limit red meat to 18 ounces a week and skip processed meats, like bacon, sausage, and lunchmeat. 

Q5
Why do we need protein?
d                  
All of the above
    • Q6
    • A high-protein diet can help you lose weight.
    • You answered: True
    • Some studies show that replacing protein for carbs may help you lose weight.  High-protein foods move more slowly through your digestive system. That helps you feel full longer after you eat.  And your body burns more calories digesting protein than digesting carbs.  Protein also can help you avoid hunger pangs by keeping your blood sugar levels steady.
    • But don't rush out and eat steak all day. Expert say we still don't know the long-term effects of a high-protein, low-carb diet.

    • Q7
    • Too much protein can be unhealthy.You answered: True
    • Usually, it's not a big deal to eat more protein than you need.  But eating more protein means more calories which can lead to weight gain. And if the protein is from meat or other animal sources, it might be high in saturated fat, which can lead to high cholesterol and heart disease. Too much protein can also cause problems if you have medical conditions, such as kidney disease or diabetes.

    • Q8
    • A "complete" protein is also known as:
    • You answered: A high quality protein
    • Complete, or high quality proteins, are packed with specific amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are about 20 different ones. Your body needs them all, but can only make some. The rest have to come from your diet. Those are known as "essential" amino acids.  Complete proteins have all nine essential amino acids.  Eggs, cheese, and meat have complete proteins.
    • "Incomplete" protein sources are low in one or more essential amino acids. Beans and tofu are good but incomplete sources of protein because they contain lower amounts of some essential amino acids.
    Q6


    • Q9
    • Women shouldn't have soy protein.
    • You answered: False
    • Some women worry about a plant-made estrogen found in soy. But experts say soy protein is a good low-fat option instead of high-fat, animal-based proteins, like red meat. The key is to be smart with portions. Keep soy between two and four servings a week.
    • Soy comes from soybeans. You can find it in soy milk, tempeh, edamame, and tofu. Whole soy gives you all the essential amino acids, just like protein from animal sources. It is also used instead of meat in some vegetarian dishes.
