General kitchen advice

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!"


When you are travelling, you should have a quick think about where your food has come from. When/if it is locally produced, your food is likely to be tastier, better for the local economy and fresher.


Buy Local Food : Bringing more local produce into your kitchen may leave you wondering what to do with unusual things such as Jerusalem artichokes, kohlrabi or mizuna. “I get requests all the time from CSAs asking permission to put my recipes into their delivery boxes,” Madison says. “I always say yes.” Get a good produce-based cookbook and don’t be reluctant to ask for recipe ideas from growers.


Cook safely

If you're called away from the cooker - by the phone, say, or by someone at the door - take pans off the heat. It's the easiest thing in the world to forget about them.
Don't put oven gloves or tea towels down on the cooker after you've used them.

---FROSTINGTHAT MOVES LIKE A SLOTH ---
1 1/3cuppowdered sugar
2tablespoonmilk, skim
1teaspoonvanilla extract

Directions:

ULTRA LIGHT PASTRY DOUGH: In a large bowl, mix the yeast & milk. Stir gently for about a minute. The yeast will not completely dissolve in milk. That's normal. Mix in the sugar, pastry flour & egg whites; stirring for 100 strokes. Let rise for 30 minutes. Mix in the salt & remaining flour. Stir until well mixed. (The dough will start pulling away from the sides of the bowl.) With a little additional flour sprinkled on the dough, knead for 5 minutes. Let rise for 40 minutes. The dough is now ready to be used. (Don't try this recipe in a Bread Machine! It doesn't work!)


WICKED cinnamon ROLLS: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the Ultralight Pastry Dough through the second rise. Sprinkle flour onto a work surface. Place the dough on top. Sprinkle enough flour on the dough to keep it from sticking to your rolling pin. Roll the dough flat, into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick. Let rest while thoroughly mixing the brown sugar & cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the pastry dough leaving a 1 inch edge along the long side away from you. Gently roll dough into a log from the long side near you, to the long side with no sugar mixture. Slice into sections 2 inches thick. Place on a non-stick rimmed cookie sheet. (The more brown sugar you use the more it oozes out the bottom of the rolls.) Whisk together the egg white & skim milk. Brush the rolls with the milk mixture. Let rise in a warm draft free place for 20 minutes. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are light golden brown. Remove immediately from the pan. Ice heavily. You can also freeze the rolls before baking. Place the unbaked rolls in a foil lasagne pan, let rise 20 minutes, cover tightly with foil lid, place in freezer. They can then be baked straight from the freezer. When ready to bake, remove lid & bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 25 minutes.

THE FROSTING THAT MOVES LIKE A SLOTH: Pour sugar into a small bowl. Heat milk slightly in the microwave. Mix the milk into the sugar, stirring until smooth. Add the vanilla; stir until well blended. Spoon onto cinnamon rolls or muffins. The whole batch of frosting is fat free.

Variation: Cold lemon juice can be used in place of the milk for a more tangy frosting.
