Cooking advice

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.


Oven Tips : If you don't have one, consider buying a self-cleaning oven. They use less energy for normal cooking because of higher insulation levels. They also save on your rubber glove and cleanser purchases! However, if you use the self-cleaning feature more than once a month, you'll end up using more energy than you saved. When you clean the oven, do it right after cooking to take advantage of residual heat.


Dieting 101

The low-cal diet

Put simply, low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you plan to get rid of some fat, it is essential to consume fewer calories than your body normally needs.

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. The 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius. If a food has higher calories, then it will turn into more energy when it is eaten.

Low-cal food types include lettuce, tomatoes, melon, steak and burger based meals, and low-fat cheese.
