Asparagus with Toasted Pine Nuts and Lemon Vinaigrette recipe

Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, derives its name from when it was first cultivated for the sole consumption by the emperor in China. It is still cultivated in small quantities, and is not as popular as brown or white rice. However, studies have shown that the bran hull of black rice contains significantly more vitamin E than that of brown rice and more anthocyanin antioxidants than blueberries! It has a rich, nutty flavor and pairs beautifully in sweet dishes, such as this one where it is combined with coconut.

A tasty dip that is perfect for vegetable or cracker platters! Can also be used with your favorite bag of chips.

This old-fashioned cookie from Gretchen D'Antico of Merton has a nice flavor and is even better dipped in white chocolate.

The rich taste of this pesto sauce made of pine nuts and basil goes great with pasta and any type of meat.

Cooking a delicious meal takes no time, it is tasty and nutritious. You can serve it with steamed green beans or your favorite salad, or any kind of vegetables to give extra fibre and vitamin.
