General kitchen advice

If you're eating foods out of season, it's likely that they have come a long way - try to eat food that is both locally produced and can be found at that time of year, locally!


Buy Organic Foods : Organic food helps protect the planet.
Organic farming ensures that bio-diversity remains available in the foods we eat and the wildlife that live on the farms.

Fruits and vegetables are naturally available in 100's of varieties. Commercial growing limits the variety of each food available by mass producing only a handful. Many species of birds, insects and other animals are affected by the chemicals and farming conditions used in growing commercial foods.

Organic farms grow a mix of crops and promote a balanced ecosystem including insects that protect crops from pests and worms and other micro-organisms which fertilize the soil.


Weight loss

A low calorie weight loss regime

Put simply, low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you are going to lose weight, the important thing to take in fewer calories than you burn up.

Definition of a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius. If a food type contains more calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when it is eaten.

Foods low in calories include watercress, capsicum pepper, grapefruit, meals containing beef, and bamboo shoots.

1/4cupwater
2tablespoonbutter or margarine
1 1/2teaspoonlemon juice
1/4teaspoonorange peel, finely shredded
1salt
1ginger, ground
1paprika

Directions:

Place lobster tail in shallow baking dish. Micro-cook, covered, on 30% power about 5 minutes or till thawed, rotating dish a quarter-turn once. The tail is thawed when the shell is flexible enough to bend. Using a heavy knife, cut through the center of the top shell. Continue cutting through meat, but not through undershell. Spread the tail open, butterfly-style, so meat is on top. Return to shallow baking dish. Pour water on top. Micro-cook, covered, on 50% of power for 5 to 7 minutes or just till meat is opaque, rotating dish a quarter-turn every minute. (Shield cooked meat with small pieces of foil, if necessary, to prevent overcooking.) Let stand covered for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine butter or margarine, lemon juice, orange peel, salt, ginger, and paprika. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power for 30 to 45 seconds, or till butter is melted. Mix well. Drizzle lobster tail with butter mixture.
