Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : The most local food of all comes from your own garden. Plant a new garden, enlarge the one you already have, or extend your growing season by using row covers and cloches.


Buy Seasonal Food : Food in season is the best you can buy. 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.

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime primarily invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many 'zone dieters' discover that they really seem to lose weight by following this system.
The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you were to limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts your body in a state of balance that is far more healthy than other diets, known as the 'zone'.
Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most valuable method of the zone diet is to control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.

Ingredients And Procedures

6 lb Fresh Salmon

6 tb Butter

3 Lemons

Salt Pepper Clean salmon and remove head, tail and fins. Cut the salmon into 1 lb steaks (not fillets). Place 1 salmon steak onto a sheet of foil, squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon, spread 1 tb of butter plus salt and pepper on the salmon. Wrap the salmon steak tightly in the foil (heavy duty) so as to make the best water tight seal as possible. Repeat for each steak. Boil the packages in water for 20 minutes. Remove and place in the freezer for an hour then refrigerate for 2 hours. When ready to serve, unwrap the salmon steaks carefully on a large platter and cover with warm Hollandaise Sauce. To accompany the salmon, this dish should be served with new baby potatoes which have been boiled with mint leaves, and fresh garden peas, plus a palatable white wine. This is a very basic but absolutely delicious recipe. Of course, the fun is catching the salmon and telling the story of how the large one snapped the rod like a pretzel and "got away"!
