General cooking tips

Microwave Tip : Microwave ovens use around 50 percent less energy than conventional ovens; they're most efficient for small portions or defrosting. For large meals, stovetop cooking is usually more efficient


Buy Fairtrade Food : The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.

For a product to display the FAIRTRADE Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards. These standards are set by the international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO).

Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products are inspected and certified by FLO. They receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.

Dieting tips

The low calorie diet

Rather obviously, the low-cal diet says that if you are going to lose weight, it is important to take in fewer calories than you burn up.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If a meal has higher calories, then it will turn into more energy to use when eaten.

Foods low in calories include boiled potatoes, red peppers, watermelon, steak and burger based meals, and bamboo shoots.
