Cooking advice
Our survival no longer depends on our knowledge of nature's cycles, but there is much to be gained from getting back this lost wisdom. Regardless of technology's advances, the fact remains that food in season is the best. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.
Oven Tips : Close the oven door gently - slamming forces out the hot air.
Dieting 101
A low calorie weight loss regime
Rather obviously, the low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you want to reduce weight, it is essential to take in less calories than you need.
What is a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If a food type contains more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when your body burns it.
Low calorie foods include cabbage, cucumbers, melon, steaks and burgers, and white eggs.
