Food and cooking tips

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.

Oven Tips : Fan-forced ovens cost 35% less to run than a conventional electric oven.

Oven Tips : Switch your oven off a few minutes before your food is ready - it will stay hot enough to finish cooking the food.

Cook safely

Don't dry clothes in the microwave.
If a deep fat frying pan catches fire never throw water over it, if you have a fire blanket, put it over the pan.
