Cooking tips

Oven Tips : Switch your oven off a few minutes before your food is ready - it will stay hot enough to finish cooking the food.


Buy Organic Foods : Organic food helps protect the planet.
Organic farming ensures that bio-diversity remains available in the foods we eat and the wildlife that live on the farms.

Fruits and vegetables are naturally available in 100's of varieties. Commercial growing limits the variety of each food available by mass producing only a handful. Many species of birds, insects and other animals are affected by the chemicals and farming conditions used in growing commercial foods.

Organic farms grow a mix of crops and promote a balanced ecosystem including insects that protect crops from pests and worms and other micro-organisms which fertilize the soil.


Oven Tips : If you don't have one, consider buying a self-cleaning oven. They use less energy for normal cooking because of higher insulation levels. They also save on your rubber glove and cleanser purchases! However, if you use the self-cleaning feature more than once a month, you'll end up using more energy than you saved. When you clean the oven, do it right after cooking to take advantage of residual heat.

Ingredients And Procedures

16 oz Semi-sweet chocolate

1/2 c Sweet butter

1 1/2 ts Flour

1 1/2 ts Sugar

1 ts Hot water

4 Eggs, separated

Oil bottom of 8 or 9-inch springform pan. Melt chocolate and butter ( I did this in a saucepan, although the original recipe calls for it being done in a 200-degree oven.). Add flour, sugar, and water; blend well. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl ( a metal one!) beat egg whites until stiff. Fold gently into chocolate mixture. Turn into prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes in middle of 425 degree oven (I found that in the 9-inch pan, I needed to extend this to 25 minutes for it to be completely cooked.). Let cake cool completely. Sift or sprinkle powdered sugar over top of cooled cake.
