Preparation
Whish together heavy cream and sour cream in small bowl. Refrigerate.
Combine cold water, carrot, onion, bay leaf, lemon slices and chili
pepper in skillet large enough to hold the salmon fillets in one
layer. Bring to boiling; continue to boil 10 minutes. Lower to
simmer. Add salmon, skin side up. Simmer very gently over medium low
heat until salmon is just cooked, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook.
Remove salmon from poaching liquid; remove and discard skin. Cool
completely. Saute shallots in the 1 1/2 tablespoon butter in small
skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to bowl of food processor. Add salmon, smoked salmon and
cream mixture to food processor. Puree until smooth. With processor
running, add remaining 1/2 cup butter, bit by bit, until smooth. Add
lemon juice, salt and pepper. Fold in dill. Spoon mixture into 4 cup
souffle dish or decorative serving dish. Smooth top with rubber
spatula. Garnish with a few fresh dill sprigs, and a whole bay leaf
and small sweet red pepper strips, if you wish. Pour clarified butter
over top of pate to cover completely. Refrigerate 4 hours to set
pate. NOTE: To clarify butter, melt 6 tablespoon butter in saucepan
over medium heat. Remove from heat; skim off foam from top. With
small ladle, spoon clear liquid butter into a dish, leaving milky
solids behind. Discard milky solids. Use clear butter.

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 carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Use splenda instead of sugar.
Recipes that call for sugar can be changed to make use of splenda instead. It doesn't weigh the same so you will have to experiment a little and it might not be perfect for everything, but it does bake up nice in most cases.
* Use low carbohydrate chocolate bars for chocolate muffins.
If you have taken the time to convert your best loved chocolate chip cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soya flour, you don’t want to add in those high carb chocolate chips. Break up a low carb chocolate bar into tiny chunks and use that in its place.
Lycopene foods
(includes grapefruit, red peppers and spiny bitter gourd)
The nutrient lypcopene is a simple chemical compound and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is the reason for the red colour of some types of food.
Usefully, unlike numerous other healthy agents, lycopene does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is genuinely strengthened by cooking.
.
Its most interesting medical value is that it acts as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the fight to lower the risk of developing cancer.
Lycopene is the most powerful eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also believed to prevent the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
