Cooking advice

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


Buy Local Food : It’s easy to take locally abundant foods for granted when they’re in season, but you can enjoy many locally produced foods out of season by stocking up. Storing big baskets of hazelnuts (in the Northwest) or pecans (in the Southeast) will come naturally if you start thinking like a squirrel. Look for foods that keep well, such as nuts, honey, winter squash and sweet potatoes and stock up.


A local veg box shared between friends is a few quid a week, and the perfect way to slash your food miles while eating good food. So if you're self-catering at university why not try a doorstep delivery from one of the many veg box scheme providers?


Kitchen safety

If you've consumed alcohol, don't be tempted to cook with a chip pan.
Never fill a chip pan more than a third full of oil.











My Recipe File

Hi, I'm Anya and I love cooking tasty meals for my family - its more than just a hobby, its a passion.

I used to collect recipes from the many cookbooks I own, (many in my native language, 'Russian') translating and typing them into my computer and then printing them off as required.

What a tedious job that was! .... but then came the internet, and I found that thousands of other people have been doing the same thing.

Pretty soon we started swapping recipes and building up our collections, exchanging recipes via e-mail and recipe news groups.

This site lists all the recipes in my personal collection, and has categories for various different styles of regional cooking, different ingredients, diets etc.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
