Food & Drink > Cooking (Other) Cooking is becoming a lost art
2 of 25

All around the world, there are sites of great historical importance and significance, where Stone Age man created representations on cave walls or rock faces of his life and the times in which he lived. This is of course what we have come to know as art in its earliest form, not created by our distant ancestors because they ... More..

Food & Drink > Cooking Fruits & Vegetables How to cook cabbage
3 of 11

Cabbage is one of those vegetables which I love to eat raw. I know that may at first sound a little off-putting to some but if you consider the fact that if you have ever eaten coleslaw the chances are that you too have eaten raw cabbage, you may see the practice from a somewhat different perspective.

There is always much to be said for cooking in nature's kitchen - the great outdoors. It is the way in which mankind survived for millennia, long before the advent of microwave ovens, conventional ovens or stoves.

Food & Drink > Cocktails An introduction to whiskey
13 of 13

The first and by far the most important point in learning to judge a "whiskey" is to look at the spelling! To sample the best and by far the most popular in the world make sure it is "Whisky"! This indicates it is of Scottish origin and has therefore an advantage over the competition. The abundant supply of pure fresh water a... More..

The first time I met a man from the Irish town after which the specially formed rhymes are called, I asked him to recite a Limerick for me. To my great surprise he admitted that he did not know any.During my school days I and my friends knew many and there was always a steady flow of new ones. As we grew older they became som... More..
