Cooking tips

Kitchen Tip : Use a covered kettle or pan to boil water; it's faster and it uses less energy.


A local veg box shared between friends is a few quid a week, and the perfect way to slash your food miles while eating good food. So if you're self-catering at university why not try a doorstep delivery from one of the many veg box scheme providers?


Diet types

The low-cal diet

As most people know, the low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you plan to get rid of some fat, the most important step is to take in less calories than you burn up.

The calorie defined?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. A 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food type has more calories, then it will will give you more energy to use when eaten.

Low calorie food types include celery, radishes, guava, steak and burger based meals, and bamboo shoots.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 lb Pork roast,cut in chunks

1/2 lb Pork rinds (skins)

2 ea Pork shanks or pigs feet

1 T Salt

2 c Posole

1 t Oregano

2 ea Cloves garlic, mashed

2 T Chopped onion

4 ea Red chili pods,remove seeds

Place meat and pork rinds and pork shanks in a large kettle and add about 5 quarts of water or enough to cover meat. Add approximately 1 tablespoon

salt and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove excess grease and set aside. Reserve liquid. Wash the posole very carefully until the water is clear so as to remove lime from kernels. Put in large kettle and cover with water. Boil until posole has popped. Mix meat, posole, rind and shanks or pigs feet. Add oregano, garlic, onion and chili pods. Let simmer for about 1/2 hour. Posole may be served as a main dish with hard rolls, tortillas or crackers. Additional red chili sauce may be added at serving time for more spice. NOTE:Posole can be found in the meat section if it is available in your area, if not available, hominy can be substituted in the same quantities but no rinsing or pre-cooking is needed. The posole will lose its authenticity but none of its tastiness if pork rinds, pork shanks or pigs feet are omitted. You can also add one can of tomatoes to enhance the flavor.
