General cooking tips

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.


Oven Tips : Close the oven door gently - slamming forces out the hot air.

The Atkins’ Diet
Now nearly 5 decades old, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it enables fat reduction whilst allowing many of the foods you love, for example beef and some dairy produce.
With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, weight loss regime.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

Heat non-stick skillet till very hot. Throw in veggies and more diced fresh garlic, ginger and pepper. (High heat with NO oil brings out flavors in veggies, according to Chef Prudhomme) Stir quickly, as they begin to become tender add rice wine a little at a time, just to prevent sticking/burning, not enough to make the veggies soggy. Throw the cooked rice from the rice cooker into a big bowl, throw in the veggies, toss around. Add chopped scallions (uncooked, the heat from the other stuff is enough). Toss about to evenly distribute ingredients. Add the Fried Rice Seasoning Packet, Toss and serve. From: "Shanks, Mira L." On MON, 20 NOV 1995 115710 GMT
