THE PRESENTATION: Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl set on a platter. Arrange the wings around the bowl and garnish the platter with the coriander.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tips
If you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
The case against reduced carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Moreover, it has been proposed that the kidneys may be given too much work to do and that the related change in acid levels in the blood causes bone damage, but some of the medical studies trying to test the hypothesis have struggled to find significant evidence of damage to the kidneys or bone damage.
Reducing carbs could mean missing out on required nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which must be part of any sensible diet, especially those provied by vegetables, grains and fruits.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, collard greens and tomato puree)
These orange and green natural foods are rich in carotenes believed by nutritionalists play a key role in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lesophagus. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss program.
