Salmon Roulade With Leeks and Gazpacho Sauce

By on Dec 11, 2012 in Featured, Recipes

Late Chef and culinary innovator, Patrick Clark, had a penchant for teaching and sharing his ideas with fellow chefs, employees and his culinary students. It is in this spirit of sharing that we give you our take on Patrick Clark’s recipe for Salmon Roulade with Leeks and Gazpacho Sauce. Live Fit Magazine writer, Chuck Douros, made this version of Chef Clark’s roulade recipe and served it to his family and friends on Thanksgiving. 

What is it?

Salmon Roulade recipe by ThePlantBasedDiet.comThe visually stunning coin-shaped appetizer is served chilled with a clean, light gazpacho sauce. While recipes usually don’t have hard-and-fast rules, this one does. It is absolutely essential to use only fresh ingredients. Ignore this one rule and you’ll be disappointed. The light “breathiness” of the gazpacho sauce relies on fresh cucumbers and ripened tomatoes. To prepare the salmon, you’ll be pounding it, so a firm, fresh fillet is essential. Frozen fish will pulverize and fall apart under the mallet. (more…)

What Is It

In a word, pumpkin and butternut squash lasagna is winter’s “comfort-food.” Ok, maybe that’s two words, but you get the idea.

Even in California, October has a way of letting you know the seasons are changing. Our trees may not show-off like their Eastern cousins and our rooftops may not sport an early-season snow, but we know it’s fall. Temperatures drop 50 degrees F, and our lawns turn to rust. Take a look at any local restaurant menu and you’ll see the seasonal changes. Gone are the light summer salads and fruity drink recipes. The best restaurants usher in seasonal favorites using fresh ingredients like broccoli, cauliflower, kale and snow peas. Pumpkin and butternut squash grows plentifully this time of year.

Here’s a great make-ahead recipe for a vegetarian lasagna that oozes warmth and comfort, and makes your kitchen just smell like winter. (more…)

How to Refuel Your Body After a Workout

By on Oct 18, 2010 in Recipes, Videos

In this video from Live Fit Magazine’s Physically Fit Tips, after a powerful workout your body needs a good, healthy meal right away. Whole foods like a salad can be good but not necessarily immediately following a workout. They can be slow to digest. Your body needs fuel ASAP (preferably within 30 minutes of your post workout). I usually drink a green nutrient-rich shake within minutes of completing my workout.

There are many different types of protein drinks so find out which one works best for your body by experimenting. Many choose whey because it’s easy to digest and contains a high amount of protein. Also, with these shakes you’ll find we use natural sugar from fruit and the protein powder has very little sugar in it. If you’re dieting, be sure to cut the amount of fruit you add in to the shake (bananas are very high in sugar). Phoebe Chongchua shows us how to whip up a tasty protein shake.
