General kitchen advice

Buy Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).


Buy Local Food : Strawberries, blueberries and many other kinds of fruit often are available from farms that allow you to do the harvesting (or not, if you prefer to pay for the cost of picking). Many fruits are easy to freeze, and apples will keep all winter in a cool corner of the garage.


Kitchen Tip : Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air or found by the pan handle! A 6-inch pan on an 8-inch burner will waste over 40 percent of the energy.

Fry the basket until it's golden and drain. Fit the genoise into the bottom of each basket. Drop peaches one at a time into boiling water for 10 seconds to loosen the skin, then peel, halve and remove the pit. Place a peach half on each genoise. Form "handles" for the "baskets" out of Pate a Choux and bake them, then secure to the baskets with thick chocolate icing. Top each peach with sabayon and garnish with candy flowers.

Add warm water in a stream and whisk to form a smooth light-yellow sauce.
