Food and cooking tips

Have a Local Food Party : Instead of counting time or distance, simply enjoy the pleasures of local food by organizing a potluck meal in which everything must be local. Keep your fingers crossed that someone will splurge on handmade goat cheese, and don’t forget some local wine, beer or juice. If you’re organizing a big catered event, the Society for Nutrition Education has a downloadable brochure to help you line up local food resources.

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 Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).

6 ea Eggs

1 c Flour

1/2 ts Salt

1 c Milk

2 tb Melted butter

Powdered sugar

Butter 9x13 pan <not pyrex> and put into the freezer while you mix the batter. Heat oven to 450. Break eggs into a bowl and beat with fork. Slowly add flour and beat well. Add salt, milk and melted butter. Pour into cold pan and bake at 450 for 18 mins; then 350 for 10 mins.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with butter and syrup. This is sort of a huge piece of French toast in a baking pan that looks like a roller coaster. It is fun to watch if you have a glass door oven. If not, it is a big surprise when you take it out! By Suzanne Werner/Tender Loving Cooking Shared by Lisa Greenwood
