Preheat the oven to 450øF. Place the eggplant slices on a lightly

simmer the mixture for 1 minute. Season the mixture with the salt

Line the bottom and sides of a baking dish with the eggplant slices
(reserve some slices for the top). Layer on 1/2 of the tomato wedges.
Ladle on half of the gelatin mixture. Layer on the cheese. Add the
remainder of the tomato pieces. Ladle on the rest of the gelatin
mixture. Place the remainder of the eggplant slices on top. Fold over
the slices around the edges.
Cover the terrine with plastic wrap. Place a heavy weight on top to
press the ingredients down. Refrigerate it for 3 hours.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyWhen deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Some lower carbohydrate diet tips:
* Know what is in your food Be sceptical of advertizing that claims to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information figures on the back of the tin or package. Quite a few are only slightly reduced and in some cases still higher than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are exactly the same.
* It is possible to make really nice smoothies by using low carbohydrate yogurt. Yes, you can't really describe it as cooking, but if you love smoothies you can make perfectly acceptable alternatives by using reduced carbohydrate yogurt and fruit. Of course, you will need to ensure you only make use of fruit that is low in carbs and use the whole of the fruit as you need the fiber.
