Preheat the oven to 450øF. Place the eggplant slices on a lightly

minutes. Remove the eggplant and set it on paper towels to drain.
In a small saucepan place the gelatin. Add 1 cup of the reserved
tomato seeds and juice (add some water if necessary). While stirring
constantly, bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and
simmer the mixture for 1 minute. Season the mixture with the salt
and the pepper. Set it aside.
Line the bottom and sides of a baking dish with the eggplant slices
(reserve some slices for the top). Layer on 1/2 of the tomato wedges.
Ladle on half of the gelatin mixture. Layer on the cheese. Add the
remainder of the tomato pieces. Ladle on the rest of the gelatin
mixture. Place the remainder of the eggplant slices on top. Fold over
the slices around the edges.
Cover the terrine with plastic wrap. Place a heavy weight on top to
press the ingredients down. Refrigerate it for 3 hours.

Food Tips of the Week
Weight loss hints and tips
In planning a meal plan, the most important step is to make efforts to lower your intake of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some lower carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Use soy flour or soy baking mix.
When you need to use flour for baking, substitute soya flour or a bake mix like Atkins baking mix. In most cases, you may change your favorite recipes that use conventional wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
* Make low carbohydrate breadcrumbs for breadcrumb coated foods.
Whilst you can sometimes buy low carb breadcrumbs, you can make them at home by using reduced carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is simply toast the reduced carb bread in a pre-heated oven on a baking tray. Once it is well toasted, whizz it in your food processor or blender. Keep in an airtight jar.
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.
