Cooking advice

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?

Oven Tips : Check the seal on your oven door for wear. Even a small tear or gap can allow heat to wander away from your meal. A clean seal also provides better heat retention.

Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet primarily devised by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a fat reduction diet, however many followers find that they actually lose weight when following it.
The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is more healthful than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The key technique of the zone diet is to maintain the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.
