General cooking tips

Kitchen Tip : Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air or found by the pan handle! A 6-inch pan on an 8-inch burner will waste over 40 percent of the 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?

Try Organic Food : Organically-grown food costs more, but you get what you pay for. It is 2-10 times richer in minerals, contains no pesticides, and tastes better. It is better for you, your planet, and your palate. Wild unhybridized food is what your body was designed for, before our ancestors started messing with Mother Nature. Take it easy with highly hybridized fruits (bananas, seedless anything) and vegetables (carrots, beets, white potatoes).

Ingredients And Procedures

2 1/2 lb Asparagus

2 c Hulled strawberries

1/4 c Strawberry vinegar

----------------------------------DRESSING---------------------------------- 1 tb Walnut oil

1/2 c Peanut oil

1 1/2 ts Honey

Trim asparagus and cut each stalk in thirds. Steam until tender but still crisp. (Thin young stalks took 5 minutes.) Plunge in ice water; drain. Wash strawberries, then hull. Cut strawberries in half; combine with asparagus. Combine dressing ingredients; toss asparagus and strawberries gently with dressing. Chill well before serving. The authors write: "What could be simpler - or more delicious - than spring's first asparagus combined with spring's first strawberries?" My notes: Good, and simple. Tried 02/22/92.
