General cooking tips

Try Eating Raw Food : You need a balance of three basic food groups as most of your diet:
  • sweet fruits (apples, oranges, berries, melons, etc.)
  • green leaves (dark lettuce, kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
  • raw plant fats (avocados, olives & their oil, coconuts & their oil, nuts & seeds, durian)
    • Eat lots of sweet fruit, lots of green leaves, and some fat (as dressing, pâté, hummus, etc.). Add vegetables as desired, and sprouted grains and legumes occasionally. Try fruit for breakfast and snacks; greens, veggies and fat for lunch and dinner.


    Buy Local Food : Take a child shopping with you, pick up one of the offending products and say quite loudly "Well we’re not buying that, think of the energy it’s used up just getting here!"


    Buying an Oven : In gas appliances, look for blue flames; yellow flames indicate the gas is burning inefficiently and an adjustment may be needed. Consult your manufacturer or your local utility.


    Kitchen safety

    Dry food before putting it in a deep fat fryer (water can make the oil explode).
    Turn saucepan handles so they don't stick out (and aren't over another ring).

Ingredients And Procedures

2 c Sugar, brown, dark

2 c Water

1 1/2 c Soy sauce, light

3/4 c Molasses, dark

1/2 ts Galangal, ground

1/2 ts Cilantro, ground

1/2 ts Pepper, black

Sure...Kecap (or, more commonly, "ketjap") refers to a number of sauces from Indonesia; the most common is ketjap manis, which is the Indonesian kind of soy sauce, and is rather sweeter than Chinese soy sauce or Japanese shoji or tamari. (It's pronounced "ketchup", btw.) Recipe follows: Number of Servings: 40 Approx. Cook Time: 0:30 Combine and sugar and water in a 2-quart stainless steel saucepan and bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to high and cook briskly, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the syrup reaches 200F on a candy thermometer.

Reduce the heat to low, stir in the soy sauce, molasses, galangal, cilantro, and pepper, and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve set over a bowl. Sauce will keep at room temperature for 2 to 3 months if tightly covered. Posted by Stephen Ceideberg; October 7 1992.
