General cooking tips

Buy Local Food : With local food you'll get exceptional taste and freshness, strengthen your local economy, support endangered family farms, safeguard your family's health, and protect the environment.


Most food, from fruit to fish, has a season -a time when it is abundant and at its best. Knowledge about food's seasons was once essential to survival and became culturally ingrained over the centuries. Today, we have all but lost this accumulated wisdom. Does this matter, in an age where technology can bring us anything we want to eat, whenever we want it?


Weight loss

The low calorie diet

In a nutshell, a low calorie weight loss regime says that if you plan to achieve weight loss, then you have to eat less calories than you use.

The calorie defined?
The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. A calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If a food contains more calories, then it will gives you a larger amount of energy when your body digests it.

Foods low in calories include watercress, cucumbers, apricots, beef, and skimmed milk.
