Super Slimming Weight Loss Tea Causes a Stir!

Yes, it’s really true folks.... an ancient Chinese Lotus Leaf tea or Yo Chi Tea as it is known, is becoming a global sensation! You see, this is simply no ordinary tea; far from it in fact, this is an amazing revolutionary tea blend which, because of its ancient Chinese herbal properties, is helping people everywhere to shed excess weight quickly, naturally and safely, simply by drinking two cups of it every day. Weight loss and detox could not be any easier than this, ever!

Already, everyone wants to get their hands on this natural miracle worker and let’s face it why wouldn’t they?

Already, J-Lo is singing its praises (sorry, we couldn’t resist that little pun!), blissfully sipping it till her heart’s content as she marvels at its ben-

efits in terms of weight loss.

Oprah too is a firm believer in it so if it is good enough for two of the world’s biggest showbiz celebs, we are pretty sure it is more than just a little bit good! The good news? Yo Chi is available in Ireland, exclusive to Therapie Clinic.

Clinics have reported waiting list around the country as Therapie have been struggling to meet the demand for tea both in store and online with many customers eager to aid new year weight loss using a more holistic approach. Commenting on its arrival at Therapie Clinic, Manager Sarah Cagney said: “The response to Yo Chi Tea so far has been fantastic, it’s flying off the shelves! The great thing about Yo Chi Tea is it’s 100% natural, and has been proven to be effective in

aiding weight loss and detox in a easy, safe way” The blend contains Lotus Leaf, Oolong green tea and number of other ancient Chinese herbs, all of which have been specially selected because of their proven natural ability to purify and cleanse the body, and to essentially act as a nuisance in stopping the body from storing up food as excess weight, and burn excess fat which is stored in the body!

Drinking Yo Chi weight loss tea can help to increase weight loss by up to 50%! Yo Chi Tea is exclusively available from Therapie Clinic nationwide, including Barronstrand Street in Waterford.

Simply call them direct on 051 870 910 to order or find out more on www.yochitea.com.

The Sow & Grow campaign is back and chef Lilly Higgins was on hand to launch the campaign with the help of Minister for Education and Skills Jan O’Sullivan.

This campaign, backed by Innocent Drinks and GIY, aims to get more than 20,000 children growing this spring through a free, fun, learning experience that will show them just how easy it is to grow their own greens and enjoy the taste of their own food. Teachers and youth-group leaders can apply for one of 650 free sow grow packs on innocentdrinks.ie/sowandgrow. Each pack includes 30 growing pots, seeds, soil, lesson plans and growing guides and is sure to keep a group of young growers busy while educating them on the benefits of planting seeds and the beauty of turning them into a delicious, edible plant.

Linger in Lake Garda

ake Garda has long been a favourite holiday destination, with beautiful scenery, lots to see and do and an attractive climate throughout the summer.

Rich in history and culture, the resorts around the vast lake have a lot to offer; whether you want to stroll along promenades and sample a local wine in one of the piazzas, explore on foot or by bike or take to the lake on a cruise or a sailing boat.

The resorts of Riva, Limone and Malcesine at the northen end of the lake have a stunning mountain

backdrop.

To the south, the resorts, such as Garda, Bardolino and Desenzano, are surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and fruit orchards.

From Roman ruins and medieval architecture to botanical gardens and amphitheatres, the sights to see and enjoy are many. The shops offer many Italian specialities and finding hidden gems in narrow cobbled streets are the norm here.

Furthermore, it’s needless to say that - being Italy - great food is in abundance.

Explore the various locations

de la Cathedral or explore Park Guell, Gaudi’s fairytale ‘garden city’.

Ensure that you make plenty of time to take in mouthwatering Spanish cuisine and the lively social scene. Party all night in Eixample, sit back and relax in Barri Gotic’s funky jazz bars or try your luck in the casino at Port Olimpic.

Into the Blueway

on offer and you’ll see there’s something for everyone.

FAST FACTS: • Beautiful scenery with mountains to the north and vinyards to the south • Pretty lakeside resorts, rich in history and culture • Delicious Italian cuisine and wonderful local wines • Promenades, piazzas and stylish shops • Wide choice of activities from walking to sailing, theme parks to wine tasting

Album of the week Piece By Piece, by Kelly Clarkson (approx €12.99) In an ever-shifting pop landscape, there’s something reassuring about Kelly Clarkson.

Over the course of seven albums she’s honed her formula of thundering powerpop anthems and skyscraping ballads, all delivered with the kind of conviction most pop stars ditch after two albums.

On Piece By Piece there are also chinks of experimentation; the

splintered electronics on Take You High, the Phoenix-esque Nostalgic and the pulsating urgency of Dance With Me. Meanwhile current single Invincible, co-written by Sia, bolts Clarkson’s pin-sharp vocal on to a billowing, chest-clenching backdrop, while the title track picks over broken relationships with typical candour.

2B;NĂ&#x152;MĂ&#x2014;IHĂ&#x2014;NB?Ă&#x2014;G?HO ROAST LAMB WITH GARLIC AND COUNTRY HERBS A different take on an Easter favourite. Great flavour and very simple to prepare.

INGREDIENTS 1 leg of lamb, trimmed; 1 onion, roughly chopped; 125ml water Topping: 2 large cloves of garlic, peeled; 2 dessertsp. root ginger, chopped; Grated rind of a small lemon;

2 tablesp. fresh parsley, chopped; 2 tablesp. fresh mint, chopped; 1 tablesp. fresh rosemary, chopped; 1-2 tablesp. olive oil METHOD Preset oven Gas Mark 4, 180C (350F).Put the garlic, ginger, lemon rind, parsley, mint and rosemary in a food processor.

Switch on for a minute or two until everything is finely chopped.

Switch on again and add the oil slowly until you have a bright green mixture. Set the mixture aside.

Place the joint in a roasting pan with the onion and water, cook,

allowing 20-25 minutes per half kg.

Thirty minutes before the end of cooking time remove from the oven, spread the herby mixture over the joint.

Return to the oven and finish cooking. Keep an eye on the water level. Top it up if necessary.

When the lamb is cooked remove from the pan and keep warm.

Discard the onion and remove excess fat.

Add a dash of wine to the pan juices. Boil up and reduce to a nice syrup. This will take 2-3 minutes.

Season and serve with the sliced lamb.

Food & drink White: Las Moras Pinot Grigio, From Argentina, 12.5%abv Pinot Grigio has been stealing a march on Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc for a few years now and is trendier than Netflix and just as good value. The wine is light and refreshing by nature , it’s great on its own and this particular one has apricot, pear and peach tones and has a great balance of fruit and acid.

Spring lamb Roasted boneless leg of lamb Roasted boneless leg of lamb seasoned with rosemary, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and garlic is a succulent Easter delight that truly celebrates Spring. If rosemary is not your thing, you could use other fresh herbs such as thyme or oregano.

INGREDIENTS • 5 cloves garlic, crushed • 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed • 3 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard • 2 tsp olive oil • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt, more or less to taste • fresh ground black pepper • 1.5 -1.8 kg uncooked trimmed lamb leg, boneless, rolled and tied

Red:

METHOD • Preheat oven to 190ºC (Gas Mark 5). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a rack in the pan.

• Combine crushed garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper; mix well and rub mixture all over lamb.

Roll the lamb and use butcher’s twine to tie it together and place it on the prepared roasting pan. Roast in the oven until medium-rare and a meat thermometer inserted in centre reads 57-60ºC anywhere from 70 minutes and up depending on the size of your roast.

• Remove the lamb and let it rest about 15 minutes on a cutting board. Keep in mind the temperature will increase a few degrees once it rests.

• Slice lamb into 1/4-inch thick slices and place on a serving platter.

Evodia Grenacha (Grenache) From Spain 15%abv Second only to Tempranillo in grapes grown in Spain this Grenacha is the business. It has lots of black cherry and raspberry on the nose. The finish is long and the tannins give it a silky dryness in the mouth. Evodia is very much a foodie wine and if you’re looking to impress at a dinner party this is just the job but at 15% alcohol finish your plate too! €14.99.

Eggless Bread and Butter Pudding with Custard One of the best things about a bread and butter pudding is it is a great way to use up left over white bread, making this a very cheapo dish to cook. This recipe will also make a Panetonne bread pudding, or ring more changes with croissants or brown bread. In fact, any type of bread can be adapted depending on your taste, except maybe the heavy dark breads.

INGREDIENTS • Bread Slices: 3 • Milk: 3/4 cup • Sugar: a little less than a half cup or to taste • Custard powder: 1.5 tbsp • Unsalted Butter: 1.5 tbsp • Vanilla Essence: 1/2 tsp (Optional) • Handful of raisins

METHOD • Preheat the oven to 200 C. • Grease a baking tin with butter and set aside.

• Cut the bread slices into pieces and arrange them in the tin without leaving space.

• Combine the milk, butter and sugar in a vessel and heat until warm.

• Add the custard powder and vanilla essence to it and combine well. Pour this over the bread slices.

• Top with raisins and set aside for 5 minutes.

• Bake it in a preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden and crisp on top.

• Cut and serve warm.
