Forgotten parsnip...

Nowadays parsnip has been forgotten by many of us, despite it used to be a very popular vegetable. It's sweetness makes it a perfect main ingredient for soups and pures! Because it's rich in many vitamins, minerals and significant amount of fibre it should be taken into serious consideration when planning your menu during the autumn/ winter season. Especially because it contains a lot of vit C.

Make a creamy soup out of baked parsnip, with potato and apple. Wash 4 parsnip roots and 1 potato, peel and roughly chop them. Mix them with 1tspn of ghee and 1tspn of coconut sugar or honey. Bake in the oven set to 230'C for 30min. After 15min add peeled apple quarters. When everything is ready move to the pot and add 1l of vegetable stock. Blend all together until smooth. Taste great with a spoon of Greek yoghurt and roasted garlic.

Paddle tennis

Have you ever heard about paddle tennis? 

Is a game adapted from tennis and played for over a century. Compared to tennis, the court is smaller and has no doubles lanes, and the net is lower. Paddle tennis is played with a solid paddle as opposed to a strung racquet, and a depressurized tennis ball is used along with an underhand serve.

The same court is used for both singles and doubles, with doubles being the dominant form of play. The smaller court size adds a strong emphasis and advantage to net play and creates a fast and reaction-based game. The game is gaining reputation and has spread out in Dubai and even Egypt, where local leagues and tournaments are organized frequently. 

Useful information:

Players: 4. Played in a doubles format. 

Serves: Serve must be underhand. A second serve is allowed only in the event of a net ball that lands in bounds, as in tennis. 

Score: Scoring method is the same as in tennis. Matches are best of five sets. 

Ball: Tennis ball with reduced pressure. 

Paddle: Solid with no strings. May be perforated. 

Court: There are two styles of courts. East and West coast styles. 

Walls: Walls or fences play the same role as in tennis, once the ball comes in contact with either the point is over.
