Cooking advice

Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.

Microwave Tip : Microwave ovens use around 50 percent less energy than conventional ovens; they're most efficient for small portions or defrosting. For large meals, stovetop cooking is usually more efficient

Kitchen Tip : Use a covered kettle or pan to boil water; it's faster and it uses less energy.

Safety in the kitchen

Make sure your ventilation is working properly and not blocked up, especially if you have a gas cooker.
Keep the oven, hob and grill clean. A build-up of fat and bits of food can start a fire.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 cartons firm silken (Japanese) tofu

6 ozs chocolate chips

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 graham cracker crust

This is an easy chocolate pie made with tofu. Very mousse-like!

Beat tofu at high in mixer about 5 minutes or so until smooth. Melt chocolate chips and beat into tofu mixture. Beat in maple syrup. Pour into prepared crust. Chill at least 2 hours. I find overnight is even better.
