COOKING TECHNIQUES
that maximize your
MEATS
FLAVOUR W
hen it comes to cooking meat there is no mistaking the unique taste that grilling offers aspiring chefs. In fact research shows that flavour is the primary reason why people love to barbecue. While the thought of slapping a strip loin steak, baby back ribs, or salmon fillet on the grill still makes any meat lover salivate, the following cooking techniques will take your meats flavour to another level:
Turn your gas grill into a smoker: Combining the cooking power of a Broil King gas grill and the right tools allows you to add the smoky flavour of hickory, mesquite, and whiskey to your meat without purchasing a smoker. When you smoke a cut of meat, give it plenty of time so it can absorb the flavour. Soak the wood chips in water for at least half an hour and then drain them. There are several different types of Broil King wood chips available. Use a stainless steel or cast iron smoker box placed under the cooking grids so the chips will smolder and smoke. Planking: Cooking meat and seafood on a wooden plank is a simple technique that will give your meat additional flavour. Broil King offers cedar, maple, and oak wine barrel grilling planks. Just soak the plank in water, juice, or beer for an hour and pat it dry. Place the seasoned meat on the plank and then onto a medium low-temperature grill. >>>
LUX URY LI ST E D MAGA ZINE •

Here is a recipe from the grilling experts at Broil King that will let you test out the new techniques:
INGREDIENTS • 1 6lb Salmon Fillet, skin on • 1 untreated Cedar Plank, sized to accommodate salmon fillet • Asian Ginger Marinade • ¼ cup White Wine • 1 Orange, finely grated zest and juice • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil • 1 tsp Ginger, grated • 1 tsp Honey • 1 tsp Asian Chilli Sauce • Salt and Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS To begin with, soak a cedar plank in a container of water for at least an hour. You may need to place a weight on top to keep the wood immersed. Meanwhile, combine ingredients for marinade in a large, flat shallow glass dish and marinate the salmon fillets, skin-on, in the refrigerator for half an hour. Preheat barbecue on HIGH for 10 minutes. Pat dry plank and oil the upper side. Place plank directly on the grids and heat with the lid closed until the plank begins to smoke. Place the salmon, skin side down in the middle of the plank and grill until just opaque at the thickest part. A 6 lb. fillet may take 30 minutes.

How to
REVILATLIZE YOUR HOME with Quick, HIGH-IMPACT results
S
pring is the time of year when we breathe a collective sigh of relief that winter has finally released its icy grip. That is, until we realize it’s time to tackle a full season (or two) of collective grime. While some of us might consider crocuses and red-bellied robins to be a sure sign of spring, unofficially, it can just as well be heralded in by the run on cleaning supplies and the steady hum of a vacuum cleaner. >>>

So, when everything in a home looks like it’s ready for a refresh, where does one start? If you want to make the greatest dent, tackle these high-impact areas first:
DUSTING Dust settles everywhere, and cleaning every surface and object can get really tedious. So why not save some time and energy? Your secret weapon—your vacuum and its trusty soft dusting tool––will help you to tackle just about any surface and get the job done in half the time.
BASEBOARDS & DOOR FRAMES If you’ve been pretty good about upkeep, your baseboards and door frames may just need a quick swipe with your vacuum’s dusting or crevice tool. But if you’re like many of us, a deeper clean is in order to remove dirt and smudges. Using warm water with your favourite soap or cleaner can make removing grime much easier or try a magic cleaning sponge.

WALLS Move obstacles. Then, dust the walls from top to bottom. Use a flat mop with warm water and soap or a mild cleaner. Start at the top of the wall, cleaning a small section at a time. Move the mop left to right, while working your way to the bottom of the section. Dry the wall with a clean towel. Repeat, completing one section at a time, until you reach the end of the wall. >>>

CARPET/HARDWOOD FLOORS Winter is hard on flooring, but so is the spring melt. Even with the greatest care, somehow the outdoors has made its way indoors. A deep clean is the simplest way to revitalize tired flooring. Experts like Hoover suggest using a vacuum that can get the job done effortlessly. At the top of the list this year is the Hoover Air Cordless. It offers constant, powerful suction with the ability to tackle multiple surfaces. This expert also recommends making multiple passes for the most effective clean. Washing floors thoroughly and regularly with a multi-surface deep cleaner will extend the life of your floors and help your home shine. In fact, you can simplify the job with a versatile unit like the Hoover Max Extract, which can wash hard and soft floors, as well as upholstery. Now with the big stuff out of the way, you can focus on the little things—like a mani-pedi to reward all that hard work. www.newscanada.com

abin fever is a reality for many Canadians after being cooped up indoors all winter long. So what better way is there to enjoy the arrival of spring than to say goodbye to hibernation and embrace a new wellness routine? This would include a diet rich in seasonal produce and a well-planned fitness program with plenty of outdoor time. The Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) has some helpful tips to get you back in shape and enjoying spring to the fullest, naturally: >>>

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW According to Helen Long, president of CHFA: “Spring is the beginning of a bountiful growing season and adding more fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables to the daily diet is an excellent way to feel energized,” Many of us pack on pounds throughout winter, as our bodies crave comfort foods that are not always good for the waistline. Now is the ideal time to make small changes to your diet by including fresh, in-season fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins and fibre. It will have a big impact on your weight-loss goals and general well-being. Opt for organic produce to avoid unnecessary exposure to potentially harmful chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
TAKE IT OUTSIDE A 35-year old, 165 pound woman can burn up to 230 calories by walking at a moderate pace for one hour. Put your running shoes on and go out for a stroll. Cardiovascular exercise not only helps with maintaining a healthy weight by increasing your metabolism, but it also improves heart health by reducing cholesterol and enhancing blood circulation. Performing cardiovascular exercise also changes the hormonal profile in your body considerably. It releases ‘feel good’ hormones that can help ease symptoms of depression and fatigue, as well as releasing hormones that can help decrease appetite. >>>
Adding locally-grown fruits and vegetables to the daily diet is an excellent way to feel energized.

SUPPLEMENT While a proper diet and exercise regimen is essential to building your lean body mass, adding a protein supplement helps maintain your muscle mass and therefore assists in the fat-loss process. Supplemental protein, when needed, can also help because it has a high-satiety factor, meaning that it will leave you feeling fuller for longer. If you’re vegan, try rice, hemp, or pea protein as a substitute for whey protein. Recent studies show that maintaining healthy gut flora is also key to achieving your weight-loss goals. Adding a probiotic to your regimen can help you maintain a healthy weight by fostering a healthy digestive tract that is able to eliminate harmful bacteria, toxins and other waste products, helping to improve your overall digestive health. Probiotics also help to strengthen your immune system and improve cardiovascular health. When making significant changes to your fitness, nutrition, or supplement routines, it’s always important to talk to your health care practitioner to ensure that these changes are right for you.
