General kitchen advice

Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.

One of the best elements of travelling is sampling local delicacies, so please don't order a burger and chips when you are in India - not only is the meat likely to be of a poor quality (sometimes so poor that it will make you sick), but you are turning down some of the most wonderful food in the world - and possibly offending your hosts.

Ingredients And Procedures

1/2 c Pure maple syrup*, plus

4 t For topping

3/4 c Skim milk

2/3 c Evaporated skim milk

2 lg Eggs

2 lg Egg yolks

*for the richest flavor, use syrup graded "Dark Amber" In a saucepan over high heat, bring 1/2 c maple syrup to a boil. Cook until thickened and reduced to about 1/4 c, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low; pour in skim milk and evaporated skim milk. Stir until the syrup has blended with the milk. Remove from the heat. In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk eggs and egg yolks until combined. Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the eggs. Skim off any foam and pour the mixture into four 6 oz custard cups or ramekins. Preheat over to 350 degrees. Place the filled custard cups in a shallow baking dish and add enough hot water to come 2/3's of the way up the sides of the cups. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of a custard comes out clean. Serve the custards warm or chilled, with 1 t of the remaining maple syrup drizzled over each.
