www.howdini.com Confused by organic food labeling? Author and organic food expert Anna Lappe explains what the terminology means. Organic Food Labeling: How To Tell If Packaged Food Is Organic Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish organic food by its packaging. Fresh produce is easier…it either is or isn’t organically grown. But packaged foods are trickier. Here’s what you need to know about organic food labels: * Look for the USDA certified organic seal. This means at least 95% of the ingredients are organic. * If you see a label that says 70% organic, that means that 70% of the ingredients are organic. * If the product has less than 70% organic ingredients, it can’t feature an organic label, so you have to read the ingredients on the package. Don’t be fooled by products that you think are organic because their names or packaging look like they are.

Scott Cutaneo, who trained with the greats - Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse and Michel Guerard - is the chef-proprietor of the four-diamond (AAA) Le Petit Chateau in Tony Bernardsville, NJ Here’s his simple recipe for how to roast a turkey. Step-by-step guide to roasting turkey: 1. Add onions, celery and carrots to bottom of roasting pan, and then sprinkle a few sprigs of thyme over the vegetables. (You could put a rack on the bottom of the turkey, but we like to use different vegetable and herbal aromatics as a base for the turkey. It also adds flavor to the broth that is made by adding water to produce a great sauce or jus.) 2. Place the turkey on top of the vegetables. 3. Truss the turkey by wrapping the string around the back, crisscrossing and wrapping it twice around the legs, and then tying it under the neck. 4. Tuck the wings under the body of the turkey. (Trussing and tucking in the wings keeps everything tight to the body of the bird, which produces a more evenly cooked bird.) 5. Brush the turkey with the oil and butter mix. (This enables the salt and pepper to adhere to the skin, and it also helps keep the turkey moist, tender and tasty.) 6. Sprinkle on salt and pepper. 7. Add …
