General kitchen advice
Oven Tips : Switch your oven off a few minutes before your food is ready - it will stay hot enough to finish cooking the food.
Have a Local Food Party : Instead of counting time or distance, simply enjoy the pleasures of local food by organizing a potluck meal in which everything must be local. Keep your fingers crossed that someone will splurge on handmade goat cheese, and don’t forget some local wine, beer or juice. If you’re organizing a big catered event, the Society for Nutrition Education has a downloadable brochure to help you line up local food resources.
Dieting 101
The low calorie diet
In simple terms, the low calorie diet depends on the fact that in order to reduce weight, it is important to take in less calories than your body normally needs.
The calorie defined?
A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius. If your meal has higher calories, then it will gives you more energy to use when your body burns it.
Low calorie food types include cauliflower, cucumbers, apricot, burgers and steaks, and bamboo shoots.
