Food and cooking tips

Microwave Tip : Use your microwave as often as possible in the summer. You'll be more comfortable and save on air conditioning costs.

Oven Tips : With conventional ovens, minimize the preheating time. Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not even need to preheat.

Most food, from fruit to fish, has a season -a time when it is abundant and at its best. Knowledge about food's seasons was once essential to survival and became culturally ingrained over the centuries. Today, we have all but lost this accumulated wisdom. Does this matter, in an age where technology can bring us anything we want to eat, whenever we want it?
