Food and cooking tips
Making your own lunch instead of buying from a sandwich shop saves on packaging, and could also save you approx £4 a day or £1,000 per year!
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.
Oven Tips : Fan-forced ovens cost 35% less to run than a conventional electric oven.
Cooking safety
- Don't overload sockets - one plug per socket is the rule, especially if the appliance takes a lot of power (like a kettle).
- Don't run extension cables across the floor as they can become worn.
- Is the electric kettle leaking? This can be dangerous.
If a deep fat frying pan catches fire don't move it (it could give you terrible burns).
