]]> If there was ever a time that made us pay attention to our health, it has been this past year. Eating well is important as your body needs energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Having a good intake of protein and energy-rich foods supports you with rebuilding muscles, maintaining your immune system, and increasing your energy levels to allow you to do your usual activities. It also promotes a healthy mindset.

Here at Cooking 4 All, we hope to inspire you to switch up your diet, one small step at a time. This week, we come equipped with a restaurant recommendation: Los Angeles’ Botanica. A restaurant/market turned wellness brand, Botanica inhabits both an actual space and a virtual space and includes a website and magazine.

Launched in 2017 by friends and food writers Heather Sperling and Emily Fiffer, the brand has amassed quite a fanbase over the past year. “We believe that healthful cooking can be vibrant, creative, and wildly satisfying,” they write on their website. “We believe that hospitality should be nourishing. We’re big into color and flavor; we’re not into rules. We serve food that makes you feel good.”

The duo’s restaurant serves meals that are made from all-local vegetables, fruits and dairy; a rainbow of grains and legumes; spices and vinegars from across the world; healthy fats (local and organic when possible); wild Pacific seafood, and sustainably raised meat. Refined sugars, processed foods, and products of industrial agriculture are nowhere to be seen.

“This isn’t rocket science, but eating many pounds of green things, drinking lots of water, and getting ample fats on the daily,” explained Fiffer in an interview with Golubka Kitchen, where she talked about her diet plan. “Supplements aside, being happy is the number one glow weapon. You can slather on all the oil in the world and eat well but if you’re feeling crummy it’ll show.”

“The beauty of cooking with no rules is the ability to call on any number of ingredients to make something taste more delicious,” she went on to say. “The result is a menu with dishes that are vegan, vegetarian, meaty, gluten-free, glutinous, dairy-free, yogurt-laden, etc., etc. We like to think we can make almost anyone happy—there’s something for everyone.”

Dishes include the Heirloom Melon Salad (composed of melon, sheep’s milk feta and cashew-chive sour cream), the Cherry Gateau Basque, and the tomatillo, heirloom bean, spigarello and feta shakshuka – an absolute favorite. But you don’t actually have to be in LA to enjoy what the brand has to offer. Sign up for their online publication or follow them on Instagram for a boost of energy.

]]> No matter how good of a home cook you are, it can feel nearly impossible to make food that tastes as good as the stuff you get at your favorite restaurants—both the fancy ones and the hole-in-the-wall spots. Why? Well, here are the secrets that make all the difference.

Quality Ingredients

One thing that they do at restaurants that you may not at home is really invest in buying the highest-quality ingredients. Everything they use will be in-season, ripe, and of the highest quality, even if it’s just as “simple” as salt or oil.

Fat

In an effort to be healthy, you probably use much less fat at home than chefs do at restaurants. In fact, you might be shocked at how much oil, butter, and 35% cream is put in your favorite restaurant dishes. Sure, it may not be great for your arteries, but it sure does make it taste amazing.

Salt

Similarly, restaurant chefs are probably using much more salt than you use at home, even for dishes that aren’t intended to taste particularly salty. This is because salt is a flavor enhancer that brings out the flavor in your foods. So use it liberally.

Roscioli Ristorante

Roscioli is a very unique restaurant, where you can actually see the ingredients right in front of you on one side and the selection of wines on the other side. The dishes are so diverse that you’ll be very pleasantly surprised.

Armando Al Pantheon

The Pantheon is definitely one of the greatest attractions in the city. Armando Al Pantheon is located right next to it in a stunning cobbled street. Don’t underestimate the very simple exterior of the place, because it will end up being the best place you’ve eaten Italian food.

Ristorante Pierluigi

Pierluigi is among the best restaurants in Rome, located very close to Piazza Navona. Numerous celebrities have enjoyed meals here, which will definitely convince you that it’s top notch.

Altrove Ristorante

This is a modern-look restaurant for everyone who enjoys stylish interiors. The food is superb, with many delicious Italian dishes on the menu. What’s even better, vegetarians will be able to find something to satisfy their taste.

]]> If you need to cut back on your spending, but you love going out to dinner, it can seem a little tricky to pull it off on a budget. However, there are so many easy ways to enjoy going out but still save a little bit of money. Here are some great tips that will keep your budget and your stomach happy.

Alcohol

Alcohol is by far the easiest way to spend money at a restaurant. Unless they’re having a happy hour or another really good deal, it’s best to stop ordering drinks altogether. Even just one glass of wine can really start to add up.

Appetizers

Appetizers are another way that you can really start to rack up a big bill at a restaurant. For that reason, you should really cut it out as well. Although, another good option to save money is to forgo an entree completely and just order two appetizers instead, eating that as your main meal. This will also let you try more things on the menu and will usually save you money.

Communicating with Friends

If you’re going out with friends, tell them of your money situation so you don’t get stuck sharing a bill when you really can’t afford it. Although it can seem uncomfortable, in the end true friends will respect your honesty.

]]> For the past few years, Avocado crave has been gaining serious traction in the Netherlands and elsewhere. Many restaurants have been adapting their menus around the clients’ needs and love for dishes that include the yummy green fruit, Avocado. Amsterdam decided to do it differently and opened the first all-avocado restaurant, called The Avocado Show. It is located in the Amsterdam’s De Pijp District, which is known for a neighbourhood of foodies.

The menu has different avocado-based dishes, such as toasts, buns, pancakes and bowls.

It also has a wide selection of fresh and tasty drinks to satisfy your avi-cravings.

Isn’t this place worth a trip to Amsterdam?
