Cooking advice

Microwave Tip : Use your microwave as often as possible in the summer. You'll be more comfortable and save on air conditioning costs.


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.

What is a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. 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 your meal has higher calories, then it will will give you more energy to use when consumed.

Low-cal food types include cauliflower, watercress, apricot, steaks and burgers, and bamboo shoots.
