General kitchen advice

Kitchen Tip : Solid disk elements and radiant elements under glass stove tops are easier to clean than conventional electric coil elements, but they take longer to heat up and use more electricity.


Kitchen Tip : Using a pressure cooker saves up to two-thirds of the cooking time, saves energy, and preserves the goodness in your food.

Weight loss

The low calorie diet

In a nutshell, a low calorie weight loss regime states that if you want to get rid of some fat, the important thing to take in fewer calories than you use.

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 one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If something has more calories, then it will turn into more energy when consumed.

Low-cal foods include brussels sprouts, cabbage, apricots, beef, and skimmed milk.
