Rehydrate50

Serves 1✽ 2 carrots, halved✽ 1 celery stick, halved✽ 2.5-cm/1-inch slice of broccoli stem✽ 4 tomatoes✽ small handful of fresh basil leaves✽ small handful of ice (optional)

Juice it upFeed the carrots, then celery, broccoli, tomatoes and most of the basil through a juicer. Half-fill a glass with ice (if using), then pour in the juice. Garnish with the remaining basil leaves and serve immediately.

Tantalizing tomato refresher

The success of this refreshing juice depends on the quality of the tomatoes; home-grown and just-picked ones are perfect, but otherwise choose good, generously sized, deeply-coloured ones sold on the vine

for the best flavour.

How to juice herbsTo get the most juice from herbs, sandwich them

between firmer fruit or vegetables so that their

weight helps to press down on the leaves as they go

through the juicer chute.

26 Mini Comfort Desserts

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan, then brush it over the insides of ten ½-cup ovenproof ramekins (individual ceramic dishes). Sift a little cocoa into each ramekin, then tilt to coat the bottom and sides evenly, tapping out any excess.

2. Put the chocolate and remaining stick of butter in a heatproof bowl, set the bowl over saucepan of gently simmering water, and heat until melted, stirring from time to time.

3. Put the eggs, egg yolks, and superfine sugar into a mixing bowl and whisk together until thick and frothy and the whisk leaves a trail when raised above the mixture. Sift over the flour, then gently fold it in.

4. Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth. Pour it into the prepared ramekins, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or overnight if time permits.

5. For the caramel sauce, put the butter, light brown sugar, and honey into a heavy saucepan and heat gently for 3–4 minutes, or until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved, then boil for 1–2 minutes, stirring, until it begins to smell of caramel and thicken. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream.

6. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Take the ramekins out of the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until well risen, the tops are crusty, and the centers still slightly soft. Reheat the sauce over low heat, if needed.

7. Dust the desserts with sifted confectioners’ sugar. Serve with the sauce in a pitcher for guests to pour on.

1¼ sticks unsalted butter

4 teaspoons unsweetened

cocoa powder

6 ounces semisweet dark

chocolate, coarsely chopped

2 eggs, plus 2 egg yolks

²⁄3 cup superfine sugar

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

confectioners’ sugar, sifted,

for dusting

CARAMEL SAUCE

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

¼ cup firmly packed

light brown sugar

1 tablespoon honey

²⁄3 cup heavy cream

Chocolate molten lava cakes with caramel sauce

This restaurant favorite is surprisingly easy to make, and it can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The secret is to bake the desserts for the precise amount of cooking time and to test one before serving them. They should be crusty on top but soft and molten in the center.

22 Mini Fruit and Nut Sweets

1. Line two baking sheets with nonstick parchment paper. Melt the peanut butter and butter in heavy saucepan.

2. Put the rice cereal and confectioners’ sugar into a large mixing bowl. Pour in the melted butter mixture, then stir. When cool enough to handle, using the palms of your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, then put them on the prepared baking sheets and chill in the refrigerator for 3–4 hours, or until firm.

3. Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl, set the bowl over saucepan of gently simmering water, and heat until melted.

4. Using a teaspoon, dip the balls into the chocolate, one by one, making sure they are covered completely, then lift them out and return them to the baking sheets. Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours, or until set. Serve or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.

1 cup smooth peanut butter

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

¾ cup crisp rice cereal

1²⁄3 cups confectioners’ sugar

8 ounces semisweet chocolate,

coarsely chopped

Peanut butter and chocolate candy balls

This recipe uses semisweet chocolate to coat the peanut candy balls, but, if you prefer, you can use milk or white chocolate, or a mixture of the three.

42 THE OLD TESTAMENT THE PENTATEUCH 43

TODAY, WE FIND the very basis of the laws of Western

civilization in the Ten Commandments. Unlike many of

the other rules and laws that God gives Moses, these

are the fundamental, most important laws God expects

his people to live by.

1. I am the Lord thy God . . . Thou shalt have no other

gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honour thy father and thy mother.

6. Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy

neighbour.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou

shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife . . . nor any thing

that is thy neighbour’s.

The Ten Commandments

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

Upon their deliverance from Egypt, the children of Israel make camp at

the foot of Mount Sinai. There, they set up twelve altars (one for each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel), and the people make sacrifices in celebration of their newfound freedom. God summons Moses to the top of the mountain, where he stays for forty days and forty nights as God dictates new rules for His people to live by.

Unfortunately, the people have no idea why Moses has vanished. Left below, without

guidance, they demand that Moses’s brother Aaron create some novel way for them to

worship God. Aaron has an idea and tells the people to bring their gold and jewels, which he melts

down, fashioning a golden calf for them to venerate. Witnessing this display, God, who has given

Moses two stone tablets with his sacred commandments etched on them, grows angry, ordering

Moses off the mountain. A puzzled Moses descends Mount Sinai, only to find his people singing and dancing around the golden calf. Furious, Moses hurls God’s tablets to the ground, breaking them into pieces.

Death and disease await all who insisted on worshipping the golden idol, but after Moses begs God’s forgiveness for the others, God orders him to cut another set of tablets and return to Mount Sinai. Moses stays another forty days and forty nights, and again God chisels the Ten Commandments into stone.

AFTER MOSES LEADS THE ISRAELITES OUT OF EGYPT, GOD SUMMONS HIM TO MOUNT SINAI. THERE, GOD

GIVES HIM TWO STONE TABLETS.

The Ten Commandments

And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I

will give thee tables of stone, and a law and Commandments which I have written;

that thou mayest teach them. EXODUS 24:12

Moses with the Ten Commandments

50 THE OLD TESTAMENT THE PENTATEUCH 51

NUMBERS IN THE BIBLENumerical patterns appear throughout the Bible, lending structure and symbolism to some of the

text’s most important themes.

NUMBERS DO NOT appear randomly in the Bible, but rather stand for a deeper spiritual meaning. Scholars continue to explore the hidden numerical

The Dove sent forth from the Ark The Holy Trinity

messages in these sacred texts. Here, as an introduction, are some of the numbers that appear frequently, along with their biblical significance.

Seven Saints: Francis, Lawrence, Cosmas, John the Baptist, Damian, Peter of Verona, John the Evangelist

12 Tribes of Israel; Jesus is 12 when he first appears in public and speaks at the Temple; 12 apostles; New Jerusalem measures 12,000 furlongs.

40 Testing, probation: forty days of rain during the flood; Moses and the Israelites wander forty years in the desert; Moses remains on Sinai forty days; Satan tempts Jesus for forty days and forty nights.

50 Celebration: the Jubilee follows year 49 (Leviticus 25:10); Pentecost occurs fifty days after Christ’s resurrection, when the Holy Spirit first pours out upon the Church.

70 Human leadership and judgment: the product of two perfect numbers (seven and ten) represents divine perfect order.

12 Divine government, church and God’s authority: product of divine three and earthly four;

completeness as a sign of God; divine worship; obedience: used 562 times, including derivatives (seventh, sevens), most common in biblical prophecy.

8 New beginnings: eight humans allowed on Noah’s ark, circumcision on the eighth day, God’s eight covenants with Abraham.

10 Law, government, most common counting units (based on fingers and toes); restoration; the Ten Commandments.

11 Disorganization, disintegration: the 11 disciples of Jesus watch his betrayal by one; the eleventh hour; Genesis 11 (rebellion against God through the tower of Babel); John sees 11 things in connection with the Final Judgment.

1 Absolute singleness, beginning and unity.

2 Division, opposites/pairing: the Son has two natures, human and divine; two testaments; humankind is male and female.

22 WORLD’S GREATEST CITIES New York 23

in large part to its vigorous demographic growth. In barely fifty years, between 1800 and 1850, the city’s population multiplied tenfold, from 70,000 to 700,000 and from 1850 to 1950 again to almost eight million in the centre alone. Today it is the most populated city of the United States with 22 million residents in the city area which covers the five municipal districts of Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, in addition to the various neighbouring populations of Long Island and New Jersey.

Land of dreams Ever since its foundation, New York has been a city of inmigrants, and its people saw the arrival of new generations from all corners of the world seeting the American dream as a natural occurence. In 1811, local authorities were obliged to plan the urbanisation of Manhattan by means of the famous grid system comprising of sixteen large avenues from north to south, named with ordinal numbers and one hundred and fifty-five streets running east to west named also with

ordinal numbers. Throughout the 19th century, millions of Irish and Germans began to inhabit these new districts, followed in 1890 by the Italians and Eastern Europeans who flooded Ellis Island, a small island in the Bay set up as a customs office to control immigration. During the first decades of the 20th century, New York also became one of the principal destinations for what was called the Great Migration. This was the displacement of hundreds of thousands of African-Americans from the slavery states of the south to the industrialised areas of the east as well as hundreds of thousands of Puerto Rican’s who took advantage of the new status as American citizens from 1917.

This migratory phenomenon transformed the Big Apple into a model of diversity and a society with an independent dynamism little related to the rest of the United States both in material and ideological terms. Currently, six out of every 10 residents have descendants from multiple countries from all corners of Europe, with 16% having African-American roots, 15% Hispanic and

the remainder mainly Asian. This constant shift generated an incessant need for space which quickly overflowed Manhattan’s capacity and caused a gradual rise in the price of land which obliged builders to build upwards.

Growing up...In just a few decades, and despite the Great Depression, Manhattan was transformed into a dizzyingly high paradise. The skyscrapers became the principal symbol of the city’s identity. These enormous structures adorned with art in the style of the admired European aesthetic fashions, represented huge engineering challenges; the Woolworth building (1913) was created in a neo-Gothic style in the manner of the great Medieval cathedrals; the Chrysler building (1930), with its silvery crown and spectacular lobby became a paradigm of Art Deco. In 1931, the Empire State Building became the tallest building on the planet, a title it held for more than forty years. It became a universal icon thanks to the gorilla King Kong in the 1933 film which served as a particular example of the culture concept exported successfully by New York to the rest of the world, based on originality, professionalism and popularisation and expressed in forms as distinct as Broadway musicals, the films of Woody Allen, the literature of Truman Capote, Tom Wolfe and Paul Auster, the music of Gershwin, Charlie Parker, Pete Seeger and Lou Reed, and the art of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, interpreted or exhibited in contemporary cultural venues such as the Lincoln Centre, Carnegie Hall, the MOMA and the Metropolitan Museum.
