Food and cooking tips

Kitchen Tip : Even though they are like magnets for spills, keep stovetop reflectors clean. They will reflect heat better and save energy. If you need new ones, buy quality. The best on the market can save as much as 1/3 of the energy used with inferior reflectors.


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.


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.


Cooking safety

Don't put oven gloves or tea towels down on the cooker after you've used them.
Never fill a chip pan more than a third full of oil.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 Caribou roast

Strips of bacon Marinade: 1 md Onion; chopped

6 Peppercorns

2 cl Garlic; minced

1 md Parsnip; diced

2 Ribs celery; chopped

1 c Cider Vinegar

1 c Beef bouillon

1 c Gin

Combine all the marinade ingredients except the gin. Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes, remove from the heat, add gin and cool. Place roast in marinade to cover. Let stand refrigerated for 48 hours or more. Remove from the marinade; place on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan and drape with bacon. Roast uncovered in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 15 min per pound. Remove the bacon for the last 30 minutes of cooking and baste roast with the strained marinade and pan drippings. Remove the roast and let sit 5-10 min before carving. With a little butter and flour make a gravy from the pan drippings and balance of the marinade. The gin is juniper flavored alcohol and juniper is a traditional game flavoring. The gin works quite well if you don't have any whole juniper berries available.
