Recipe
Ingredients

2 oz smoked salmon
1 drop lemon juice (few drops)
3 tbsp heavy cream
1 white pepper to taste
2 seedless english cucumbers
1 garnish watercress leaf(opt)
Recipe
Preparation
From Daniel's Restaurant. (Makes approximately 40 hor d'oeuvres)
Combine the mousse ingredients in the bowl of food processor and blend
until the mixture is smooth. Chill at least 30 minutes. Cut each
cucumber crosswise into approximately 20 slices, each slightly less
than 1/4" thick. Cucumbers can also be peeled, striated with fork
tines or cut into decorative shapes with biscuit cutters. Assemble
hor d'oeuvres no more than an hour before serving by softening the
mousse with a wooden spoon and putting it in a pastry bag with a leaf
tip. Pipe mousse on top of each cucumber slice and garnish with a
small watercress leaf.
NOTE: If you prefer, you can slice the cucumbers a bit thicker than
1/4" and make a small hollow for the filling in the center of the
slice with a melon-ball scoop.
Servings:

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some lower carb diet guidlines:
* Use reduced carbohydrate chocolate bars for cookies and muffins.
Once you have converted your best loved chocolate chip cookie or muffins recipe using soy flour, you don’t want to add in those high carbohydrate full-sugar chocolate. Cut up a reduced carbohydrate choccie bar into small pieces and use that as an alternative.
* Use splenda instead of sugar.
Many recipes that use sugar can be modified to make use of a sugar replacement instead. It doesn't weigh the same so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it may not work for everything, but it gives pretty good results in most cases.
