General cooking tips

Time for cooking is often in short supply, but you can cut cooking time in half by making large batches and eating the leftovers another day. In an age when the average American spends only 32 minutes a day preparing food, strategy is crucial to increasing your consumption of local food.


Buy Seasonal Food : Food in season is the best you can buy. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.


Weight loss

A low calorie weight loss regime

In simple terms, the low-cal diet depends on the fact that if you intend to reduce weight, the important thing to eat less calories than you need.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. A calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If a meal has higher calories, then it will provide your body with more energy when it is eaten.

Low-cal foods include bok choy, radishes, melon, meals containing beef, and white eggs.
