Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a small saucepan, combine the
raisins and wine and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let
stand 15 minutes to allow the raisins to plump. Strain the raisins
and drain well, reserving any liquid. Place the pears in a baking
dish just large enough to hold them. Combine the raisins with the
pine nuts and fill the cavities of the pears. Put the butter, brown
sugar, white wine, lemon zest and the reserved raisin liquid in the
saucepan and simmer to melt the sugar, approximately 2 minutes.
Drizzle over the pears. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pears
are tender when pierced with a toothpick, basting occasionally with
the juices. Serve the warm pears in shallow wide-rimmed bowls. Spoon
the Sherry Custard Sauce around and sprinkle with crushed Amaretti
Cookies. Garnish with the mint sprigs, if desired.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Rather than thinking about which food types you really should leave out of your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods that you are able to introduce to your meal plan. If you manage to inject some nourishing grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon see that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y decreased risk of giving in to those damaging midday snacks.
Some lower carb diet pointers:
* Eat regular meals
Most reduced carbohydrate recipes are, you won't be surpised to learn, low in carbs. We all need energy, and carbohydrates are a very efficient energy source. A low carb diet requires more care in monitoring you energy levels, as the energy provided by protein and fat is much slower acting.
* Read food labels
Be sceptical of food packaging that claims to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information figures on the reverse of the tin or packet. Some are only marginally lowered and in some cases still higher than a competitors standard brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are exactly the same.
Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, turnip greens and winter squash)
These natural foods are rich in carotenes (alpha and beta) believed to play a major part in minimizing the risk of cancer, spefically cancer of the stomach. Many are low in calories, so should be a part of every weight loss program.
