Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).


Track down specials and buy in bulk. Buying in bulk means less trips, and can be a good way of reducing your food miles.

4 oz Sultanas

2 oz Cooking dates

2 oz Candied peel

2 oz Glace cherries

2 oz Flaked almonds

4 oz Shortening

6 tb Cold water

MINCEMEAT: Mix everything together either by hand or, if you desire a smoother texture, in a food processor. PASTRY: Rub shortening into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add enough flour to enable the pastry to hold together. Roll out pastry & cut into 12 cm circles. Press circles into the bottom of lightly oiled baking tins. Fill with mincemeat & cover with another pastry circle. Press down at the edges & make a small steam hole in the top. Bake for 10 minutes at 400F, 200C Gas 6. These pise can be frozen before baking either in the tin or remove from

tin once they are solid. Mincemeat will keep for 1 week covered in the fridge. Makes 36 pies
