I live in a city apartment with little space for exercise equipment. I would like to find a recumbent bicycle on a scale that would work in a limited urban space. Can the fitness team point me to any reliable brands or sources? Thank you.

Perhaps lifefitness.com or precor.com may have what you are looking for.  Good Luck in your search!

What is the brand and type of soy milk that you serve? What is the nutritional information for it? There seem to be many choices at the store and it is confusing. Thank you very much.

Here are the ingredient and nutritional information on the two varieties of soy milks we offer.

In addition, we use the following criteria in choosing our soy milks:
organic beans only to ensure the soy milks have minimal contaminants such as pesticides and herbicides and no GMO’s (genetically modified organisms),
fortified with vitamins A, B2, B12 and D2, Lactose free and cholesterol free,  
minimal added sugars and no artificial sweeteners AND last but not least – taste good!

Hi, We recently stayed in Lenox and had a great dinner. I was wondering if I could have the reciped for Anglaise sauce. It isn't on the website. Also, the chef, Bobby, substituted something else for the flaxseed crust when he made the Butternut Squash Tart.

Chef Bobby substituted the wheat flour in the flaxseed crust recipe with potato starch, which you can purchase at a natural grocery store.

Here is the recipe you requested:

Sauce Anglaise

2 cups 1% lowfat milk
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup sugar
1 whole vanilla bean
1 egg yolk

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 of the milk and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine remaining milk, sugar and vanilla bean and bringto a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove vanilla bean, cut openlengthwise and scrape pods into sauce.
  3. Add cornstarch/milk mixture to simmering milk and cook for 2 minutes, stirrin constantly to prevent scorching.
  4. Place egg yolk into small bowl. Add a small amount of  hot milk mixture, about 1/4 cup, to egg yolk to temper, then return to simmering milk. Cook for 1 more   minute. Remove from heat and let cool. When room temperature, place in refrigerator to chill.

I am trying to find a nutrionist who supports a holistic option - relying on quality supplements and whole foods not on highly-processed "athletic" supplements or nutrition bars. How can I find one in my area (Kansas City, Missouri)?

We absolutely loved our stay at the Miami Beach Canyon Ranch... and we loved the bathroom scale that was in our room... do you sell these or can you tell me the name of the manufacturer or where to purchase? Thank you, Liz

I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your Ranch experience! 

We have the Quattrotonic bathroom scale in our guest rooms.  They are silver and black.   The item number is: 63685.  The manufacturer is Soehnle Pharo.  I was able to find this item on Amazon.com.
