    • Importance Of Nutrition While Pregnancy
      • Nutrition is always important, but it becomes even more critical when you are pregnant. A women’s diet needs to provide enough energy and nutrients for herself as well as the baby. This means that pregnant women need a balanced and nutritious food. Having a balanced diet means consuming the correct amounts of carbohydrates and fats, protein, and eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. Need some ideas when it comes to a pregnancy diet? Follow our five nutritional foods to eat when pregnant guide: Yogurt: This dairy product contains just as much calcium as milk. However, the big positive to this delicious snack is that it is also packed with folic acid. Folic acid is an essential vitamin for the development of the baby’s brain. Surprisingly, yogurt is also packed with protein. Not only is this an excellent way to pack on the calcium and protein but yogurt goes well with all types of nuts and fruits like mangos, which are also nutritious foods to eat when pregnant. Vegetables, for example, spinach, carrots, and avocados: Spinach is pressed with folic corrosive, vitamin A, calcium, and iron. It is loaded with vitamins and tastes great in various dishes like vegetable lasagna, servings of mixed greens, and with chicken. So, why not indulge in it? Carrots are filled with vitamin A, which will promote growth in your baby, specifically with their eyes, teeth, and bones. Avocados are a super food. They are also packed with folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium. Vitamin B6 is an essential vitamin to consume while pregnant because it helps tissue and brain growth for the baby and because it can reduce the effects of morning sickness. Oatmeal: Oats are full of iron, vitamin B, fiber, and tons of other nutrients. Again, not only are they packed with nutrients, but they are great with fruits and nuts, which provide another assortment of vitamins and nutrients. Nonfat Milk: Calcium is essential for the body. However, during pregnancy, the body absorbs almost twice as much of this vital vitamin. Unfortunately, statistics show that the average person lacks calcium, which means that new intake is necessary during the nine months of pregnancy. Each 8-ounce glass of nonfat milk delivers about 30% of the suggested allowance of 1,000 milligrams. Bananas: Bananas are a crucial pregnancy superfood because of the amount of potassium they provide. Potassium gives energy, which makes it simpler to adapt to pregnancy exhaustion. Also, this super nourishment is impeccable with numerous different sustenances on this rundown, for example, cereal and yogurt. …The post Importance Of Nutrition While Pregnancy appeared first on Osteria Del Toro.

    • Our chef John Allred to compete on the world stage
      • Osteria del Toro’s chef John Allred is no flash in the pan, he’s so good in fact that he’s been invited to compete on the world stage at the 56th Concurso Internacional de Paella Valenciana (Valencia International Paella Competition) this September. Allred will be the only New Zealander among 30 contestants from across the globe competing for the title of the ‘World’s Best Paella Chef’ on the 11th of September in Sueca, Valencia, Spain. Following success at the Pacific semi-finals held in Tasmania earlier this year, Allred says it is an honour to be representing New Zealand doing something he loves. Allred, who has been cooking paella for more than 15 years, says “Valencia is where paella originated from, and I am so grateful to be invited to cook there.” He says there are some differences in his methods of cooking but is looking forward to cooking the ‘Spanish way’, “their style remains very true to tradition, where most people on this side of world cook over a gas flame, in Valencia, you must cook over a wood fire.” Perhaps his 14-year-old son Michael will help take the title of world champ. He will be joining Allred in Valencia—as rules state each contestant is permitted to have one assistant. Allred says his son Michael has shown a keen interest in cooking since a very young age and is really working on improving his paella cooking skills. “We fly out on Father’s Day, so I think that’s a pretty good omen,” Allred says. Concurso Internacional de Paella Valenciana began in 1968 as part of the annual Fiesta del Arroz (The Rice Festival). By 1990, the competition had gained world-wide attention and since then organisers have granted entry to international contestants who place through a series of semi-finals held in the Pacific, USA and Asia.   The post Our chef John Allred to compete on the world stage appeared first on Osteria del Toro.
