Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.

Oven Tips : Stagger pans and baking sheets on upper and lower racks to improve airflow, and don't cover racks with foil. Food cooks more quickly and efficiently when heat circulates freely.

Try Eating Raw Food : You need a balance of three basic food groups as most of your diet:

sweet fruits (apples, oranges, berries, melons, etc.)
green leaves (dark lettuce, kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
raw plant fats (avocados, olives & their oil, coconuts & their oil, nuts & seeds, durian)
