If life itself is a sport, and I believe it is, then regardless of age we’re all athletes playing in the same game of survival. So the important question is “Are you winning?” Is your physical performance up to speed, and can you meet the challenge of the day, or has your ability to perform declined because of inactivity, poor eating habits, stress or just plain wear and tear?

Energy is something that everyone wants more of, but unlike matter and its physical properties, energy eludes a concrete definition in terms of size, shape, or mass.

Remember the episode on the TV show Fawlty Towers 1979 entitled “Waldorf Salad?” Waldorf salad is refreshing, crunchy, sweet and filled with hydrating ingredients. It is a light salad yet unbelievably filling. When you eat a Waldorf salad you can feel the goodness going into your body.

I’ve tasted plenty of different variations of Hot-and-Sour soup and this is my own version. I like my Hot-and-Sour soup to be chock full of surprises and this shimmering, flavorful version skips the cornstarch which can often make it gloppy. You can make Hot-and-Sour soup as hot or sour as you like. It’s up to you and your taste buds.

The beauty of this soup is that you can add whatever it is you like into to it, there are no rules. Seafood such as halibut, prawns, shrimp, crab, clams or scallops add a perfect dimension to the bowl. Add one or add them all.

Tahini paste is made from crushed sesame seeds and has quite a nutty taste. It is available in jars, cans and also in dehydrated form. Tahini should keep in a sealed jar and kept in the refrigerator for a number of weeks. There are two main types of tahini, hulled and unhulled.
