Cooking tips

Buy Local Food : Check out farmers markets, roadside farm stands and tailgate markets (where parking lots are temporarily transformed into areas of commerce), and don’t be afraid to ask questions about where the food is grown.

Buy Local Food : ...but at the same time, figure out what makes sense. It is more energy efficient to raise lambs in New Zealand and ship them to the UK than to raise them in the UK, because New Zealand lamb farming is more energy efficient. It is also more energy efficient to buy produce raised in Spain, than produce that has to be grown in greenhouses in the UK. Baby steps require figuring out which things make sense and which don't.

Kitchen Tip : Use a covered kettle or pan to boil water; it's faster and it uses less energy.

Kitchen safety

Dry food before putting it in a deep fat fryer (water can make the oil explode).
Don't put oven gloves or tea towels down on the cooker after you've used them.

Ingredients And Procedures

SEE PART 1 FOR INGREDIENTS:

Cut patterns out of paper or cardboard. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease the foil. Lay a damp towel on counter; place prepared pan on towel (to prevent slipping). Unwrap one portion of dough. Using a very lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough directly on baking sheet to a 15x10-1/2" rectangle about 1/4" thick. position patterns at least 1/2" apart on dough as shown. Cut around patters with a sharp knife or pizza cutter; remove patterns. Remove dough scraps; cover and save to re-roll if needed. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-14 minutes or until cookie springs back when lightly touched. Remove from oven; immediately replace patterns on dough. Cut around the edges to trim off excess cookie. Cool 3-4 minutes or until cookies begin to firm up. Carefully remove to a wire rack; cool. Repeat with remaining dough and patterns.
