Cooking tips

Oven Tips : Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25° and foods will cook just as quickly.


Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.


Dieting 101

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index diet is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and an indicator of the ease that the glucose of the food gets changed to sugar in your bloodstream. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satiated for longer and help to eat fewer food without starving yourself.
It's also extremely beneficial for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in controlling increases in blood glucose secretion.

"A few years ago, the Chinese restaurant in the Amarin Hotel served this dish which I copied. The Amarin Hotel was a small hotel with personalized services and very popular with many regular guests. I worked for a short time at the dress shop there. The Amarin Hotel is no more, there is a big modern shopping plaza in its place now. The shopping plaza has the first Macdonald Hamburger outlet in Thailand situated there. It is doing very well. I still miss the Amarin." Marinate beef with salt and nam pla for 1 hour. Heat frying pan and cook the salted beef (without oil) for 5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towel. Heat the oil in a wok over high heat to fry the salted beef strips until crisp. Drain oh paper towel. Heat the remaining oil. Stir-fry hot chili, shredded celery and green onion for 1 minute. Add fired crispy beef. Season with Maggi sauce. Pour onto serving plate.
