Almond Cake

PASTRY

1 1/2 cups Flour
4 Egg yolks
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 lb Butter

FILLING

1/4 lb Butter
1 cup Chopped almonds
3/4 cup Ground almonds
2/3 cup Sugar
3 Eggs
1/4 cup Potato starch or cornstarch
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1 pinch Salt


FOR THE PASTRY: Combine pastry ingredients by hand or in a food processor
to form a soft dough. Do not overmix. Chill for 30 minutes. Roll out
and line an 11-or-12-inch pie or tart pan. Prick the base and chill for
15-to-20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375F. FOR THE FILLING: Heat 1/3 of the
butter in a saute pan, add the chopped almonds and saute over medium heat
until browned. Cool. Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan.
Cool. Mix the ground almonds and sugar in a bowl and add the eggs one by
one, beating after each addition until the mixture is light and thick.
Sift the potato or corn starch with the baking powder and salt and fold
into the almond mixture. Fold in the melted butter. Do not overmix.
Pour the mixture into the tart shell and bake for 10-12 minutes or until
the batter begins to set. Quickly scatter the chopped almonds over the
top in one even layer. Return the tart to the oven and continue baking
for 17-to-20 minutes or until the pastry is brown and the filling is firm.

Weight loss hints and tips

If you enjoy your food, but need to regain your youthful figure and also better your all round healthiness, then, as most people know, you ought to undertake a specially prepared well-balanced daily routine. At best, this should include five standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables each day and incorporate a sensible combination of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.

When planning a diet, the important thing is to make efforts to moderate your intake of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.

When buying food, dieters ordinarily direct your attention to supermarket and big brand food products labelled as 'low in fat'. To do this is often wrong, for a food product may be low in fats, but nevertheless contain far too much carbs & calories.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Every now and then when going through a busy afternoon, you consider you are peckish but if truth be told you may simply need a healthy tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of being thirsty and being hungry are quite similar, but one leads to weight gain and the alternative is healthy.

As an alternative to paying too much attention to the junk foods you really should ban from your diet, focus on the sensible foods that you can introduce to your weight loss program. If you insert the recommended amount wholesome fruit & vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel more full and have a far reduced likelihood of giving in to those unwholesome midday nibbles.
