We Have Information on Gluten-Free and Several Other Unique Diets Available For Your Family.

Gluten Free

What does following a gluten-free diet mean? That you're embarking on an easy diet with a wide range of health-promoting effects. Instead of dwelling on what you’re giving up, consider that you’re going to enjoy a whole new world of delicious food options to meet your special dietary needs. You’ll be eating seasonally, choosing more fresh fruits and vegetables, focusing on meats, seafood, poultry, legumes, lentils, corn, and rice, and discovering fascinating ancient grains such as quinoa, amaranth, and millet. You’ll be able to eat potatoes, eggs, most cheeses, even chocolate (!)—and enjoy them without guilt because you’ll be taking good care of your body. In fact, you’ll probably end up eating—and feeling—better than ever!

Raw Foods

“Raw” is all the rage these days, but what does it mean to eat raw? And is it possible to get enough protein and other nutrients while following a raw diet?

Raw foods are those that have not been heated above 108°F to 118°F

Raw, defined

Most raw foodists eat only plant-based (vegan) foods, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, and seaweed. Raw foods are those that have not been heated above 108°F to 118°F, depending on who you talk to. The logic behind this is that many of the nutrients in foods are extremely sensitive to heat. This is especially true of the water-soluble vitamins, like the B-vitamins, folate, and vitamin C. As Katie McDonald, a raw food chef and certified Holistic Health Coach in Rhode Island puts it, “The more you do to a food, the less it does for you.”

Raw food advocates also look to the enzyme content of raw foods, saying that cooking destroys delicate enzymes that could otherwise go toward improving the digestion of the foods you’re eating.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

The secret to successful whitefish cookery is to not overcook it. Whichever of the following cooking methods you choose, your whitefish will be cooked when its flesh becomes opaque yet is still moist on the inside.

Baking

Place whitefish in a greased baking dish. Brush with melted butter or oil and season with salt and pepper, or cover with a piquant sauce. Bake in a preheated 450°F (230°C) oven until flesh is opaque but still moist, about 10 minutes per inch (about 2.5cm) of thickness.

Grilling

Place whitefish on perforated foil on a grill about 4 inches (about 10cm) over hot coals. Baste frequently and turn once halfway through cooking period. Because whitefish is lean compared to other high-protein foods, it does not exude a lot of self-basting fat. Be sure all grills, baskets, racks, and foil are well-oiled to ensure easy handling of whitefish while barbecuing. Marinating and frequent basting will keep whitefish moist and flavorful. The fish is done when the flesh is opaque but still moist.

Broiling

Place seasoned and/or marinated whitefish on well-greased broiler pan. Broil under preheated broiler 4 to 5 inches (about 10 to 12.5cm) from heat. Fish is done when flesh is opaque but still moist.

Pan frying

Coat whitefish fillets with seasoned flour or crumbs and fry in a small amount of hot butter or oil, turning once halfway through cooking time.

Poaching

Bring poaching liquid, consisting of water, broth, and herbs and spices, to a simmer. Slip whitefish in, then cover the pan and keep liquid at a simmer for about 8 minutes per inch (about 2.5cm) of thickness.

Steaming

Place whitefish on a greased, perforated rack over 1 to 2 inches (about 2.5 to 5cm) of rapidly boiling water. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and keep water at a constant boil through cooking time.
