6 Eggs
1 tsp EACH vanilla, almond extract
1/2 cup Brandy (80ml)

There are many historical references to saffron cordials made by
prolonged steeping of the spice in brandy and other alcohol. I have
been making this brandy cake for years and decided to try it with
saffron. It did not work; the saffron did not come through at all. My
tasters loved the cake, however, and suggested the saffron go in some
kind of icing instead. Great suggestion.

Cream butter and sugar, then add eggs, one at a time. Sift flour and
add it gradually. Add remaining ingredients, mix just until
combined. Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Bake in a greased and floured
bundt or ring pan for about 50 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes,
then on cooling rack.

LEMON CREAM:

Steep saffron in lemon juice for 20 minutes. Whisk eggs and sugar,
then add juice. Switch to non-wooden utensil and cook cream in top
of double boiler until thick. Incorporate butter and cool before
using.

Diet tips

If you wish to shed a few kilos and boost your overall well-being, then, as any doctor will tell you, you should decide on a meticulously calculated well-balanced meal plan. At best, this must take in 5 standard portions of fruit and vegetables every day and also involve the correct blend of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

In planning a dietary regime, it is essential to endeavour to restrict your consumption of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.

When chosing foods for dieting, people often concentrate on retail store and big brand food products claiming to be 'low-fat'. This is frequently a miscalculation, seeing as how a food product can be significantly reduced in fat, but whilst still remaining contain far too much carbohydrates.

Try drinking more water. From time to time in the course of a hectic work day, you consider that you are a little hungry when actually you just need a cool drink of water or fruit juice. The sensations of being hungry and being thirsty are much the same, albeit one of them leads to a broken diet and one leads to no damage.

Instead of focusing on the junk foods you really should ban from your daily routine, focus on the nutritionally sound foods which you can bring into your daily routine. If one can insert the recommended amount wholesome grains, cereals and vegetables into your daily routine, you will be delighted to find that you feel full and have a substantially decreased probability of falling prey to those damaging midday munchies.
