This page is a note to myself what I still want to write about here.
Recipes for baking (sugar free/less), cooking and basic knowledge.
Replacing wheat flour with spelt/dinkel wheat is always a good idea - when getting brown, it gets an awesome taste. Try mixing different grains (e.g. 630 and 1050 or whatever you have available).
- organic food (bio) should be considered regular food. It is not an upgrade, it is the standard. Non-organic food is a degradation.
- See the difference of baking soda and baking powder
- Brown&crusty:
- 🥕 “revive” carrots: If you put slouchy carrots into water, they become luscious again :) Then you can cook them soft once more if you like to :D
- Quit eating (industry) sugar, it helps. Sweeten with fruits and/or organic applesauce. Get used to high percentage (90%+) chocolate (yes, you will learn to love it. I comes automatically when stop eating the regular sweets;).

#TODO: Still missing,
- baking soda with non-organic veggies/fruits
- bakingschool + ingredients ratios/Zutatenverhältnisse for basic dough
- backenmachtgluecklich
- Vinegar & citric accid & Lemon: clean & cure and cultivate food + remove limescale
- the effect of sugar
- sugar (and salt) are a habit. Just reduce it continually a bit. (the body needs salt, just not too much)
- (un)saturated fatty acids + Omega3/6 + Fats and its max. temperatures
+ DHA stuff
+ you probably cannot satisfy hunger with nuts, as they contain no carbs (but lots of fat)
- Süßrahm- vs Sauerrahm- Butter vs Öle
- potato chips cause pimples (tortilla chips do not for me)
- protein / egg white
- how to cook the perfect egg: calculator webpage, e.g. here
- the different kinds of flour + raw dough stomachache
- https://bakeschool.com/baking-101/ + https://bakeschool.com/category/baking-science/ + https://bakeschool.com/focus-on-baking-soda/ + simplyrecipes baking FAQs
- to get rid of bitter taste: add a little sugar (e.g. with bitter oil or too much garlic/ramson)
- rub garlic off hands with warm water only, no soap - the smell won't stick
- how to cut onions
- why do avoid aluminium (in deodorants too!) + plastic coated side
- which side of bakery paper is the correct one?
- diary products: schmand vs creme fresh vs quark vs joghurt

- to keep crumbles crunchy for a longer time, mix the flour with oat flakes and/or chopped nuts/almonds.
- Microwaves: are microwaves bad for your food? side note: water gets hotter than 100°C w/o boiling. why do eggs explode? melt your cheese.
- lebensmittel mindmap: the illusion of choice
- anti-mosquito oil
- be creative and reuse leftovers. Fun fact: Plattdeutsch: “Wenn du dien Teller leer ittst, dann gifft dat morgen goodes wedder.” ← 'wedder' heißt 'wieder', nicht 'Wetter' = Übersetzungsfehler
- always wash rice thoroughly, it is polluted with arsenic. Try out cheap pudding rice instead of risotto
- what you eat has an influence on sun sensitivity of the skin. Before summer holidays: avoid citrus fruits; eat foods high in antioxidants (like berries, nuts, and green leafy vegetables); Ultimate Tip: Take calcium with beta-carotene (e.g. Avitale Calcium Sun 500 powder) to help protect the skin from UV damage (does not replace suncream! smokers should be aware of too much β-carotene, the combination promotes (even more) lung cancer)
- Smoking speeds up caffeine metabolism (via CYP1A2), but not vice versa. Caffeine and nicotine act synergistically in the brain. Does not mean you should smoke at all ;)
- ZDF TV show “Besseresser” with Sebastian Lege is nice to watch: in Mediathek and Youtube. Please keep in mind that this is a TV show which might lack profundity - always check and think yourself.
